Merging Maps

[Spirky]

Hi All,
I want to merge an existing map to the scenario I'am making. Is there any way to rotate the existing map to the direction I want it to face. At the moment I can only merge the map in the direction it is facing which is not good to me. The map I'am trying to merge with is one I downloaded. Using T12. Thanks for your help

This has been an ongoing 'wish' item for as long as TRS has existed, alas, there is no 'current' way to 'rotate' a map prior to merging.

Well I guess its true. Life is'nt meant to be easy

Also is it posible to merge in the driver setup when merging maps?

You would ned to manually edit the mapkuid reference in the session config. There is a long-shot chance the session might work, but much more likely it won't...

so reallly I have to re do the driver setup from the previous map in the new one

 

[Dermmy]

more'n likely yes you will...

I'm trying to make sense out of the questions;

"I want to merge an existing map to the scenario I'am making"

"merge in the driver setup when merging maps?"

As far as I know you can merge one route (map) into another route, but merging a session/scenario with another one can't be done.

If what you're asking is "can I use a session made for MyRoute version 1 in MyRoute version 2", I've done that a number of times. I take the session from MyRoute version 1 which has all the AI traffic in it, and provided I haven't changed any trackmarks or portals it should still work in version 2. But the map KUID is wrong, so I clone the session, open the config.txt;

kind "profile"
username "beta 3 template 1"
description
map-kuid <kuid:522774:100059>

Assuming the KUID for my new map is <kuid:522774:100068> I copy that string, click EDIT, REPLACE, "FIND" <kuid:522774:100059> "REPLACE WITH" <kuid:522774:100068> "REPLACE ALL". Then save and commit, the new clone is now associated with the new map, still has all the AI trains running.

I highly recommend cloning the old session and editing the clone instead of the original, if you edit the session and make a m!$T@k3 there's no going back if you hack the original.

so in short its possible but not advised? I just dont want the hastle of re doing all the AI trains!

Safe as it gets, clone the session, edit the clone, if it blows up delete the clone and make a new clone. Where people get in trouble with this type of thing is editing the original without having a backup, screw up the original and can't figure out how to unscrew it. Screwing up the clone isn't a problem because that doesn't screw up the original.
