All the CMTM data has been moved from the CMTMSystem file to the config.txt file of an HTML asset. I have included a sample HTML asset which is the only item that needs to be cloned and made specific to the route. This HTML asset includes the HTML files that present the "How to use CMTM" screens that I have used in previous sessions I have created. There are also two blank HTML session information files that can be filled in as needed. The Display HTML Pages rule will need to be added to the Session and properly edited to display these pages.

The CMTMSystem itself now installs as a Session Rule. When the rule is added to the session, it needs to be edited to identify which HTML asset it should use.


The new CMTMSystem4 assets have been uploaded to the DLS.

The manual has also been rewritten, hopefully making things easier to understand.

The functionality of CMTM has not changed with this upgrade. If you are comfortable with the old system, no need to change things. The primary advantage of System4 is that now route builders can install the CMTMPortal4's on a route before it is released. Session can then be created with that route without having to clone and modify the route.

Thanks for using CMTM.
