Hello Colonists,
I normally do not do this, but since my modules crash T12 when they are merged in T12, and the SP1 for T12 will fix this bug, N3V annouced its' released Trainz 12 Service Pack 1 -- read front page!

Good Morning Colonists, LOL
For those who have T12 -- After backing up all modules in the works via CDP, I did a clean installation of T12, then downloaded all of previous patches from N3V site, and installed them one at a time ---
46957_to_47059
47059_to_48249
48249_to_49922
SP1
49922_to_57720
All of the patche except SP1 took 5min or less to patch ---
Then SP1, which took 3 and half hours to patch!
No problems whatsoever -- tested it all out, including CMP+!!!
Successful patch all in all!!!
The SP1 Patch fixes the merging issue that T12 had, which was that it crashed trainz when routes where merged; But from I have read from Clam that he merged some routes, and there;s no crashes!
Shane also noted that he will test it out and update his merging tutorial so whenever that happens I will post a note here about it!
Anyhow, if anyone merged any modules please noted it down here -- Sunday's is our church and activity day, but feeling under the weather so we're staying home --- I'll see later today about merging some modules myself, and see how that all comes outs!
Have a good day all!

colonists i need your help please . i now have 2 possible moonscapes and don't know which one others would like best. the first 3 are gray and the next 2 are tan or sandy both have some merit .--- help me make a decision please . the last 2 are the layout so far using ish's mod's plus areas of crater walls . thanks for your help on this--------gerns
Hey Gerns,
I say go with the gray -- WHY? To really work to a moon base atmosphere you would have to change how the sky looks at a later time, I recommend --- If you play around with the sky at this stage you can really get a feel how the texture is going to look like, etc ... ex: like the screenshot that I have posted on the previous posts!
Have a good night and catch you all tomorrow!!!:wave:

Good Afternoon Colonists,
There's going to be a delay on the next uploads of items and Modules --- N3V SP1 has implemented the 2.9 version, meaning that I can't longer upload with v2.8, which means that nearly 100 new items need to be updated to 2.9 -- However, there's another issue -- it is not as simple as to change the version -- most of the information in the config file is no longer supported, so where does this leave me? --- well, I made a general config file that will work flawlessly with v2.9 --- Now, I must copy and paste this config file, changing only the kuids number and title into the folder of each item -- This will take time on my part, since I also working on new modules too, etc ---
I tend to divide my time between contents and layouts -- And, we will be leaving Marsz to explore other worlds, etc ... This is an idea that I feel that you are going to like, if you like scifi movies and books, and mining operations --- when I upload the displacement maps I will give more detail about other worlds -- I will leave you with this ---
On other words, we will focus ONLY on mining operations on a grand scale, using Ben's flatbed and my new huge hoppers to haul all of this material to galaxy-type super ships, LOL I feel that we have the items to make it look and feel realistic --- Ben creations as well as Steve reskinned powerful train engines can handle the heavy loads of super hoppers, of 92ft long --- We have drillings, huge machines on Ben's bogies, etc ... I have the texture, and as you can see, when I helped Gern out with his moon contents, those displacement maps and textures too, etc ... :wave:
Anyhow, thanks for reading --
Everyone have a nice day!!!

Hi Gerns,
Marsz-I is just an ID, and it's easy to fine all items under that theme, etc .. an example of this is a Galaxy-type ship that will coming later in the future, where as it will have Marsz-I Galaxy XXXXXX --- I try to keep it as close as possible, Gerns, from a theme point of view, and slight grayish textures, so we don't have all different type of colors all over the place --- example of this is the gamma and greenhouse structures, where as they are textured for a specific theme, gray is still the general texture used in the item, just like the Marsz tag, etc --- Hope that explan the reasoning of it all! LOL :wave:
Ishie
oh dont get me wrong everything in the marsz catagory is fine with me , as you say they are easier to find this way . i was refering to the engines and other items that have names on them . it would be easier if we called these something generic like :galactic lines or explorators corp. etc.

Good Morning Gern,
Took a break from the PC yesterday --- needed it --- LOL
Yes, actually, it is why I now include I-RS and then the name of the rolling stock! --- I = Ish, RS = Rolling Stock, then XXXXXX ... the name ... It's easier to find if one type I-RS in trainz, etc ... I will then use traditional old names to name the RS occurredingly!
Butler-57 expressed your same comments last year, but by then it was too late, as I have named RS's Marsz --- However, I might update as i go alone these RS at the DLS; but since N3V implementing all of these crazy changes of how content is made, I might have to reconsidered, etc ... will see!!!
