Urgent Message for Bloodnok (James Moody)

[shaneturner12]

Hi James,

I've had to post this as your private message box is full.

Could you investigate the following faults with the following 3 stations, and release an update ASAP for them:

Station Platforms 02 130m island,<kuid2:60850:22013:1>
Station Platforms 03 140m,<kuid2:60850:22005:1>
Station Platforms 03 160m bay 110m,<kuid2:60850:22011:1>

They are all reading as faulty in TS12 without any modifications.

Errors are:

Warning: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 2.7 are no longer supported.

They're rather easy to fix, just open Content Creator Plus or explorer and delete them from CCP or the Config file, but James' re-release would help others, but for the moment they're an easy fix

I know, but that will prevent their use in Multiplayer.

Hi James,

I've had to post this as your private message box is full.

Yes, I got a notification of that, I removed a few messages, so there should be space now.

Could you investigate the following faults with the following 3 stations, and release an update ASAP for them:

Station Platforms 02 130m island,<kuid2:60850:22013:1>
Station Platforms 03 140m,<kuid2:60850:22005:1>
Station Platforms 03 160m bay 110m,<kuid2:60850:22011:1>

They are all reading as faulty in TS12 without any modifications.

Yep, got a list of these I'm working through. They are all getting the new mesh format, and new queue definitions. Next in the sequence for update are:

02_130m_elevated_island
03_140m_Staggered_5degree
03_160m_bay_110m
04_190m_terminus

Which I think covers all the ones you asked about?

Unfortunately, as it took me six months to get the last batch finished, it may be a while before I get time to finish these ones...

There is also:

03_150m
05_220m
03_175m_custom -- this is actually a version of the 03_140 listed above with the island shaped and extended. There's also a third version in between with only a part extension, which I think never got released - I can't even find an asset for it in my old dev copy of TRS2004. These were built to sit in a specific spot in the route I was working on, which really didn't have enough space to fit what I was trying to put in there. Solution would be to slew the lower level tracks away from the station, elevate the track to platform 3 and bring it across to the east of the lower level tracks far earlier. Then the station could be significantly widened, and the platforms wouldn't be anywhere near as narrow. But that's, what, five years since I've looked at that route? 5m grid makes a lot of difference to how you plan specific areas . I've still got plenty of assets to fix before I can return to working on that route - e.g. my level crossings...

Anyway, does anyone have these last three in use? They never went to the DLS, but several of the others "leaked" out into mainstream use while still in beta, so that's not a guarantee that they aren't in use somewhere. If they aren't in use, then I can skip them and concentrate on the last batch, which is a couple of really big terminus stations. These use a custom script to get around the 8 platform limitation of the GenericPassengerStation class. (There's a hard limit of 16 queues per industry, and if you use two per platform, that limits you to 8 platforms per station. With a lot of mostly-pointless code duplication and some crafty allocation, it's possible to cut that to 3 queues per island with two platform faces. That gives five islands, or four islands and two standard platforms, for a total of ten platforms from 16 queues). This script doesn't have any of my more recent improvements integrated into it yet, so will take a while to get to these ones.

Hi James,

Thank you for your response - the updates you mention are the requested ones.

I look forward to the new versions as well.

Apologies for the bump, but I'm interested to know how things are getting on with the Station Platforms series.

P.S. Congratulations for the latest addition to your family James.

Thanks . Life has changed somewhat with his arrival, and it's even more difficult to find time to work on stuff now...
