Be aware that this rule is faulty in later versions, unless the trackview-defaults section is moved into an extensions container.

Hi Shane.
Can you be a bit more detailed with that last sentence please. I did try and fix this a long time ago but I just made it worse. .

No problem.

What basically needs to be done is as follows:

Find the following section:

trackview-defaults
{
  refreshperiod                         1
  dyndistance                           "false"
  distlimitfixed                        1500
  distlimitlow                          500
  distlimithigh                         2000
  speedlow                              2.77778
  speedhigh                             22.2222
  blockingswitchesonly                  0
  showtrackmarks                        1
  showforwardingtrackmarksonly          1
  showtriggers                          0
  showsignalnames                       0
  miledisplay                           2
  mileunitlimit                         365.76
  nonlinear                             0
  posindex                              0
  
  positions
  {
    count                               2
    
    0
    {
      xref                              "left"
      x                                 0
      yref                              "top"
      y                                 44
      width                             236
      height                            300
    }
    
    1
    {
      xref                              "right"
      x                                 0
      yref                              "bottom"
      y                                 100
      width                             183
      height                            300
    }
  }
}

Convert this to the following:

extensions
{
  0
  {
    trackview-defaults
    {
      refreshperiod                     1
      dyndistance                       "false"
      distlimitfixed                    1500
      distlimitlow                      500
      distlimithigh                     2000
      speedlow                          2.77778
      speedhigh                         22.2222
      blockingswitchesonly              0
      showtrackmarks                    1
      showforwardingtrackmarksonly      1
      showtriggers                      0
      showsignalnames                   0
      miledisplay                       2
      mileunitlimit                     365.76
      nonlinear                         0
      posindex                          0
      
      positions
      {
        count                           2
        
        0
        {
          xref                          "left"
          x                             0
          yref                          "top"
          y                             44
          width                         236
          height                        300
        }
        
        1
        {
          xref                          "right"
          x                             0
          yref                          "bottom"
          y                             100
          width                         183
          height                        300
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Thank's for that Shane, I'll give it a go later. Much appreciated :wave: .

 

[shaneturner12]

It's OK.

I've tested it, and it does clear the error.

Haven't had chance to try it in Trainz yet though.

Further information - I have tested the modified TrackView Rule (using the fix I posted further up the thread) and I can now confirm that the rule is fully working in TS2009 SP4, which means it should work in later versions without a problem (it may also work in earlier versions as well, being a trainz-build 2.2 asset)

Mr Shane Turner.
My congratulations to you sir. I just cut out and pasted in your bit then tried it in Trainz 12 and perfect.
Well done to you sir and thank you very much.
I love this rule, it's great for routes like the ECML. Now I can use it. :wave:

hi shane
i cannot dl from that site
even though i enabled everything
it keeps telling me that cookies and java need to be accepted

any ideas?
thanks for your generous help

[shaneturner12]

ron,

The download page requires that cookies are enabled, due to the license agreement page.

Which browser are you using?


Deano5,

It's OK - I've found good use of that rule in my WCML route in TS2009 SP4 as well. Comes in very useful if a red signal is caused by a junction being set the wrong way.

mrmom,

Could you let me know how you get on with the TrackView rule download and modifications?

Shane

the latest firefox
everything is enabled,
but still no go
keeps telling me the same thing
thanks
ron
