TRS2010 Speedtrees Fix

[gremlin1812]

I was searching for something else to do with TS2010, but what are Speedtrees? It's obvious about trees, but what type of trees are they?

G'Day Red_Rattler, They are trees in TS10 that are animated and flail about frantically as if in a hurricane, that is untill Otto's fix sorted the little suckers out.:hehe:
Gosh I remember going to school in the old Red Rattlers, we lived in the city (Sydney) and used to travel from Circular Quay to Central and back every day, those were the days.:wave:

Have now added BATCH files for turning the Speedtrees animation OFF or ON.

Re-download it.

Otto, where do I put these files and how do you invoke the batch file? Setting the wind speed to zero as suggested by Dean05 made no difference to my frame rates.

EDIT: Sorry about this post asking a question that's already been answered and making a comment that's already been made. My mouse has a habit of jumping all over the place and I missed the answer to this question when scrolling through the posts above. (I've now replaced the mouse.)

So how do I do it? It just comes up with a bunch of folders for me.

So how do I do it? It just comes up with a bunch of folders for me.

1. Unzip files
2. Go thru the file Hierarchy and find "bin"
3. Go to your Trainz 2010 directory hierarchy and find "bin"
4. Copy the unzipped bin to the TS2010 file. Overwrite.
5. Go to the TS2010 bin and go down the hierarcy:bin/plugins/SpeedTreeShaders/
6. Double click on "#-Speedtrees-off.bat

At least 20 more FPS

TS12 too

This works in TS12 as well and boosts the FPS.

I have given 'the fix' a try but using Pofig's trees in TS2010 SP3 the trees disappear entirely after running the batch file.

Operator Error or Known Issue?

Hi Andy

Just applied this to 2010 SP3 all works fine for me.

Cheers

I suspect this is to turn the wind off (off topic, but a NSW V-Set car had to be scrapped due to damage after a tree fell on it, due to very, very strong winds). Have to check that out.

Edit: I can't find any file called -Speedtrees-off.bat

 

[teddytoot]

It should be in TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders with it's counterpart -Speedtrees-on.bat. They should be placed automatically on installing. Try re-installing Ottodad's patch.

 

[Red_Rattler]

The only files are files with extensions of .fx

The only thing that comes close is SpeedTree.fx

 

[clam1952]

It's not got installed in another version of Trainz by any chance?

 

[teddytoot]

You should have the following extra files in the folder:

#-SPEEDTREES-OFF.BAT
#-SPEEDTREES-ON.BAT
LeafCard.fx.OFF
SpeedTree.fx.OFF
Wind.fx.OFF
LeafCard.fx.ORIGINAL
SpeedTree.fx.ORIGINAL
Wind.fx.ORIGINAL

If these are missing it suggests that you have not got the patch installed at all. Try re-downloading and installing again.

Just now downloaded and extracted to desktop, ran a list.bat and got this;

Possibly the # sign at the beginning of the BAT files is giving Win7 the heebiejeebies?

Shouldn't do. I'm running Windows 7 (32 bit) and it works OK for me.

Missing patch???

Game TS2010, build 44088. (like to know how they work those numbers out)

All the files I can see in the bin\plugins folder are:
folders: Microsoft.VC80.CRT (& ending in .VC80.DebugCRT & .VC80.MFC) & SpeedTreesShaders

In the SpeedTreesShaders, files are & all with the extension .fx Billboard, Branch, Clouds, CompileCommands, Frond, Grass, LeafCard, LeafMesh, Lighting, Overlays, Shadows, Sky, SpeedTree, Terrain, Textures, Utility & Wind

Edit: I've just noticed that I messed up one of the quotes in a previous post in this thread.
Edit 2: People may consider this an old thread, that I restarted the thread, but is still ON the subject - especially after spending XYZ time attempt to find it, and also what's this doing in the General Trainz thread, when it should be in the TS2010 section?

 

[sniper297]

Either a UAC problem or a path problem. WinZip has the option to store the folder path in the zipfile, that was done here;

\Auran\TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders

So if you extract the zip to your

\Auran\TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders

folder, you'll end up with

\Auran\TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders\Auran\TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders

Which won't work. Likewise, you have C:\X86\Program Files\Auran\TS12 and you extract to the TS12 folder, you end up with

C:\X86\Program Files\Auran\TS12\Auran\TS2010\bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders

Which also won't work.

Simplest way to do this, extract the zip directly to your desktop, you end up with a folder named Auran. Open that, browse all the way down to where the files are, select all (CTRL A) and copy (CTRL C). Now switch to windows explorer, browse to \Wherever\You\Got\It\Auran\TS12orTS2010. go down further until you hit \bin\plugins\SpeedTreeShaders and paste (CTRL V) all the files into that.

 

[Red_Rattler]

I have to be quick, but none of the folders and/or files had a winzip to extract the files/folders. UAC??
Might back up game later and re-install - but knowing my luck the backup will fail!

SYNTAX ERROR - BAD COMMAND OR FILENAME

Just read your last post again, are you confusing Otto's patch with the build 44088 patch? This is not part of any official patch, this is purely a third party hack, you have to download it;

www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/tz-downloads/ts2010-speedtrees-fix.zip

 

[Red_Rattler]

I'll get that patch later - as soon as I backup - of course!

But see this image somewhere in here: http://flickr.com/gp/34023326@N02/47xH8o (let me know if you can't see it)

 

[teddytoot]

Those are the normal Auran Speedtree files that you would expect to see. The extra ones are added by Ottodad's patch. The .bat files overwrite the Auran files with the OFF or ORIGINAL files as required.
