Hello Everyone,
We have the next update to the Content Creators update. This has some new changes to the Asset Palette to streamline the Filter Palette use. This update has removed the Asset Palette's filter options to remove duplication of the Filter Palette. The Filter Palette will now default as enabled with the "Filter List" option.
Change log: (125409 to 125735)
Key Features:
The Asset Filter Palette allows the Surveyor 2.0 user to designate which assets respond to tool execution (eg. placement or painting) and other commands. This is useful to allow editing of certain object types in the world without accidentally modifying other nearby-but-unrelated objects. This palette is also used for S20 Bulk Replace
Filter Palette Filter options:
Bulk Replace Filtered Assets is a new tool for S20. This tool is to be used in conjunction with the Filter Palette. This tool can be used to bulk replace both assets and ground textures.
To use this tool follow these steps while in Surveyor 2.0:
Route Export:
This is a new tool that will prepare a route for TCCP submission. It can be used on both local routes, and MPS Routes, as long as the user is the route owner, and the route is not payware.

- Filter Palette defaults to Filter List when opened
- Asset Palettes filter categories relocated to Filter Palette
- 'Preset' filter category has been returned to Filter Palette
- 'Custom' filter category has been removed from Filter Palette
- Toggle Boxes artwork update
- Localisation for TCCP Export Window
- Fix: Trackside objects relocating with insert spline point
- Fix: Asset Palette listing empty while Filter Palette disabled
- Fix: MPS Random Object Rotation desync
- Fix: Eyedropper tool selecting asset with different filter category was selected
- Fix: Del key not working in description field (TCCP Window)
- This build lacks precache shaders. Stuttering and small freezes during first loads of routes is to be expected as well as longer initial load times. 'Compiling Shaders' can be seen top of the screen during initial runs and slow performance is to be expected during this process.
- Assertion Errors are enabled for this build. Trainz will pause until Assertion Errors are closed. Users can select Continue and Ignore Errors. (Reporting when these occur with bugs will help with troubleshooting)
- MPS is not supported for this build
- DBR Window is not displayed immediately after update. Note: This is an intended change.
- DLC Content will report "Failed to download precached data" - this error can be ignored and resolved by clicking on retry
- Logs for TCCP Projects currently only listing for MPS Route Exports
- Resizing issue for TCCP Export Window

The Asset Filter Palette allows the Surveyor 2.0 user to designate which assets respond to tool execution (eg. placement or painting) and other commands. This is useful to allow editing of certain object types in the world without accidentally modifying other nearby-but-unrelated objects. This palette is also used for S20 Bulk Replace
Filter Palette Filter options:
- Filter Disabled - Filter can be edited but has no effect. The assets listed on the Filter Palette can be used for S20 Bulk Replace without impacting the Asset Palette
- Filter List - The Asset Palette is restricted to showing the matching assets specified on the Filter Palette
- Filter Selection - In addition to Filter List, only the enabled assets can be selected in the 3D world instance
- Filter Visibility - In addition to Filter Selection, only the assets enabled in the Filter Palette will appear visible in the 3D world instance. The rest will be made invisible and be deselected if previously selected.
Bulk Replace Filtered Assets is a new tool for S20. This tool is to be used in conjunction with the Filter Palette. This tool can be used to bulk replace both assets and ground textures.
To use this tool follow these steps while in Surveyor 2.0:
- From the Windows Menu, open the Filter Palette
- In the Filter Palette, search for the assets you want to be replace and ensure only those assets are toggled
- In the Asset Palette, select the asset you wish to be used to replace the assets from step 2
- Right click on the assets/texture you selected from step 3.
- Select "Bulk Replace Filtered Assets"
Route Export:
This is a new tool that will prepare a route for TCCP submission. It can be used on both local routes, and MPS Routes, as long as the user is the route owner, and the route is not payware.
- "Publish Route to TCCP..." Can be found under the Sharing Menu
- Can be used to export MPS Routes in addition to local routes
- New N3V Generic Log services
- Filter Visibility only works on assets - it will not work for ground textures
- Some instances have parents, and can not be made visible unless their parent is - such as trackside objects requiring track
- CTRL + Shift + A can be used to select all assets in the filter list, and toggling on/off one of these, will change all to on/off
- TCCP Upload requires an account with the EULA accepted on TCCP
- The TCCP Project window will populate the route's details. It does not automatically add any sessions. Sessions will be required to be added to the Project window manually
- Keep the Filter Palette docked above the Asset Palette, will look and behave similar to how the Asset Palette behaved prior the changes.
