Ok, so first I've been busy with real life issues, enough said. As some know, I already released this on my website, but N3V have done a backflip and are no-longer accepting DLC for TANE. In fact they are ending support for TANE completely in September. Enough said on that I guess too.
The reality is this, getting it into TRS19 (before they create yet another version) is a massive job. First over 2,500 assets had to be imported from TANE to TRS19 just for this route, which I've now done. Then there were missing dependencies, done that too. Now the real problem, over 670 assets were broken.............
How TRS19 breaks stuff has no rational system to it. FMA banks (embankments) some broken (usually the ones I use), some not. Same build numbers. st_rmm trees, 2/3rds broken, some not. VSR platform stations which I used extensively, ALL double track ones broken, singles not. Oddly the singles appear to have been updated to build 4.5, doubles haven't. Stone viaducts, ye gads, broken (non track type). I'm still working on replacing them with a track version. There are 21 between Rydal and Locksley, so that's a major job in itself. Well, you get the picture. For the life of me I can't understand this, why one item is broken (texture file is missing) and yet other identical items with some slight variation aren't broken.
In trying to replace items I have sometimes been forced to use a LOWER build number cause it works in TRS19, where the higher build version doesn't. The only way to do this is in TANE as you can't bulk replace broken items in TRS19. So I have to have both games running and check what works, then put it in the TANE version. Disappointingly the Oz Pub sound doesn't work in TRS because of the usual missing "texture files" ???? It's a sound file ---- and there appears to be not a single other pub sound file anywhere. I'm sure anyone who has created a route, then dragged it into the next version knows all about this, but it's a mind blowing exhausting experience. Oh, maybe I should record some pub sounds myself and create a new one. I did it with bird sounds, so there's something else I should do.
So, don't hold your breath for it in TRS19, given there are other items I can't find replacements for such as the St Georges Cross flag, I mean seriously? For those who don't know it is the English (not British) flag. A minor detail I know, but it's a realistic and appropriate detail for the era. The Saxon Cross is another example, hopefully there's something close? Anyway, life calls, but I will try and get this done. Oh and then there were the mileposts... over 96 of them. Bulk replacement worked, but each (a scenery item, not track object) had to be turned to face the right way - one at a time... Yer, like I said don't hold your breath, but I'll get there eventually. have a nice day lol.
