My 10,000th post - and a taste of things to come

[itareus]

You should get a free TS12 at least !

More irrelevant trivia:

Century is derived from the Latin Centuria, meaning 100.

Originally the Roman army had units of 100 men called Centuries led by a Centurion.

So you could be a Centurion times a Centurion.

In Roman numerals C = 100 so you have just achieved a CxC.

and it's goodnight from me ... .

For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.

Congratulations on your milestone. If I hadn't been sleeping I would have posted about it myself.

Well done Shane. I've used your tutorials on a few occasions, so keep up the great work. Maybe one day N3V will compile them all into a proper user manual.

congratualtions.:clap:

 

[shaneturner12]

Thankyou all.

Ed - I had a feeling that you were probably sleeping, but I managed to reach the milestone yesterday when I did see you on the forum (unless you were doing that in your sleep...)

Iteraus (Chris) - By the looks of things, N3V haven't responded on this thread, so that's looking unlikely.

CRO and RHeness24 - thank you both for your comments.

• New Utility - Trainz Migration Tool (this is in addition to one that will be sorting out orphaned assets, which I will be sorting out once I've sorted things with N3V)
• ...

Shane

Congratulations - does it come with a mild dose of RSI?

Just kidding!

Can you elaborate on the migration tool or is there something on your website?
I've been writing scripts and debugging others' assets all day or maybe I would have noticed this thread earlier.

And I don't believe Euphod ever sleeps because whenever I'm here his little green light is on.

Cheers

I can do, as it's a project I'm intending to start work on today (with my trusty development environment)

Basically, the tool will be able to 'migrate' a Trainz installation from one place to another, including updating the relevant registry entries to point at the new location.

It may be possible at some point to be able to add non-builtin content semi-automatically from say TS2009 to say TS2010 or even TS12.

Thanks. We were discussing that issue the other day. Is N3V likely to be making any new extensions or parameters to TrainzUtil? There have been times I wish it could do more - not that I can think of any right now.

 

[shaneturner12]

Not sure, but I can work with the existing ones when it comes to re-importing the content into the moved version, or from one version to another. The only limitation will be that it may be limited to importing into TS2009 SP4,TS2010 and TS12.

Shane

 

[pcas1986]

OK. There was something I wanted to do a while back and TrainzUtil didn't have anything that seemed likely. I cannot remember exactly what it was but probably something to do with searching. Maybe it was something that could be done in CM but not available in TrainzUtil. Perhaps N3V has functions or utilities we are not privy to. I used to write stuff like that when I was supporting systems.

 

[shaneturner12]

They may do, but I'm not personally aware of any extra functions apart from what is documented by running TrainzUtil from a command prompt.

[shaneturner12]

As some of you may notice, I've decided to take advantage of the TS12 sale and bought myself a copy, so you may well see me doing TS12-specific tutorials soon.

Shane

 

[Deano5]

Yes I did notice. Now you need to spend some time getting to know 12 inside and out. Well done and good luck. :wave:

 

[shaneturner12]

I will indeed. See the thread 'TS12 - My story so far' for an update.

Congratulations Shane.

Always good to see our members helping each other out and being valuable contributors to the Trainz community. Also nice to see members that have been here for many years.

Yup, Shane excels in meeting the requirements for the first group, while I have just been here for many years...

 

[shaneturner12]

Indeed - being a valuable contributor is what I do.

In the meantime though, I'm having to battle a server issue (and yes Kris, there is a helpdesk ticket on it).

[jjanmarine3]

It would be nice if all assets had an icon or some means to show instantly what version it can be used in - as is.
Could this be implemented .

 

[shaneturner12]

Not sure on that one, but on later versions there is a build version column that can be turned on by right-clicking the columns and clicking Build Version.

Generally, the best assets for later versions are ones with the blue dot on the icon in the far-left column.

We know you are busy helping the community, but i think you should cut down on your nicotine intake and purchase a new keyboard...lol
Thanks for your informative tutorials.

Regards Dave.
