Warnings when submit new content

[G.M.]

A few warnings i get when submitting a fresh made train
and questions directly under the log entry

; <kuid:99999:99424> : Validating <kuid:99999:99424>
! <kuid:99999:99424> : VE48: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 3.5 are no longer supported.
This "warning" seems pointless, I make content that works from build 2.2 till 4.7, with hardly any support from anyone.
! <kuid:99999:99424> : VE109: The low-detail meshes total more than 500 polygons. This may have a negative impact on performance: 0: 6711, 1: 3154, 2: 1208
This "warning" seems pointless, as you can see I use polies sparingly to begin with and use 3 LODs wherever i can

What is the alternative function?, it works just fine in a few hundred scripts of mine in trains since 2004

! <kuid:99999:99424> : VE220: nlmw.gs(127) : function LoadHTMLString is obsolete in object Browser.
What is the alternative function?, it works just fine in a few hundred scripts of mine in trains since 2004

If i use alternative or updated functions, can trs2009 users still use my content?


Thanks to anyone that can help
have a good x-mas all

Hello G.M.,

Beautiful model for the Dutch and the Canadians...

I have used GetSmoothedVelocity() in a script of mine.

Vriendelijke groet,
Paul

Dankje Paul, Thanks Paul

From the current trainz wiki:
GetSmoothedVelocity
public native float GetSmoothedVelocity(void)
Parameters: None
Returned Value : Returns a smoothed velocity, intended for human consumption. <--i wont eat it, i need the actual speed
Syntax: float speed = train.GetSmoothedVelocity();
Notes
If you require an accurate velocity readout for physics operations, use GetVelocity(). <--and i need accurate for my Diesel consumption

groetjes/ greetings GM

You could use GetTrainVelocity instead of GetVelocity. It's available at least since TRS09.

The obsolete functions are currently still working, but could be removed in the future.

Danke/thanks Peter


2003 GetVelocity()
2009 GetTrainVelocity()
2021 GetTrainActualVelocity()
2025 GetTrainPreciseActualVelocity()


The point here... (and many many threads on this forum)
-Do not change what works and is not broken
-Add features do not remove or break old ones
-Do not annoy Users and Contentcreators with unneeded errors or warnings
Trainz should be fun and more(not less) people should be able to play/contribute/create.


btw i had to edit your driver command <kuid2:206816:99020:6> Change Destination Sign (MP)
cause the destination list ran of the screen on a big route, adding SubdivideItems(); keeps it on screen ;-)
maybe you can update it on the DLS in the future (no hurry)


greetings GM

I have created that driver command, without being able to test it myself (can't use multiplayer with my installation). I have stopped any further development of this driver command.
