Trainz Plus Beta - 2020 Update 1 ready for testing

Tony_Hilliam

Trainz Plus - enjoy Trainz from just 20 cents a da
The next Trainz Plus update is now ready for external beta testing. All Trainz Plus and Gold Class members have the option to update using the "Trainz Plus Beta" patch stream. Patch from 105100 to 105458 (1GB).

This build has gone through extensive internal testing and should not have any regressions from the current live version (105100).

There are several bug fixes, but focuses mainly on the new Surveyor Tools to make the task of updating routes to use the TRS19 features much easier and quicker.

For details on using the new tools:
http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/Help:TurfFX_Effect_Layer#New_TurfFX_Tools_.282020.29

If you haven't discovered the Effect Layer tools yet, we recommend these Getting Started Video Tutorials.
https://contentcreation.trainzsimulator.com/category/painting/turfeffects/

Known issues/workarounds:

  • Preview Window viewport needs to be adjusted closer to the ground
  • TurfFx disappears near the camera on loading (zoom out to high level then zoom in again)
  • Turffx stops rendering after scrolling through presets (use the dropdown list)
  • Advanced options toggle does not toggle when using the arrow keys
  • Variable display speedlimit sign de-sync Track Profile & Speedometer when switching MPH\KPH
  • Player cannot regain train control when loading a save made when running AI
  • Disappearing track mystery (fixed internally)
  • "Navigate to" text entry box background colour needs changing
  • When using the Get effect tool, clicking the X will prevent rendering until you re-open the preview window

Fixes: (these will work their way into other releases)

  • Steam locomotive bogeys animate incorrectly in Realistic Controls mode
  • View asset details 'description' box formatting of asset descriptions improved
  • Cinematic Camera - values now correctly used when junction is target

NOTE:
One of the limitations of Turffx is that only one window can be rendered at a time. This means that there is a transition when switching from Preview window to 3D world view where there is no effect layer for ~5 seconds. We're investigating how this can be improved.
 
Hi Tony & Crew

To start I wish you and all at N3V a great Australia Day and hope you get to enjoy the long weekend.

I do have a problem - DL went fine and install but the window is stuck on cleaning up for past 10 mins is this normal (should I be concerned) any pointers on this problem?

Ok it has resumed after 11 mins - this may help others who have this issue.

The time it takes to rebuild the database depends on the amount of content installed and the speed of your hardware. 10 or 11 minutes sounds like on the slow side of things, but not out of the ordinary.
 
Tony

The 10-11 mins was for the "clean up" on the install window before DB rebuild - yep got a very very big DB on this build still going 45 mins in still checking Faulty Assets - no rush!

DB complete - have 2000+ assets showing faulty - mainly issues with built in assets coming up modified - seems to affect splines, textures.
Have done some "reverts" seems to work.

Also getting screen freeze when opening List Dependencies window - CM appears to be doing a lot of background stuff - circle twirling.
Will try another DB rebuild and see what happens.

Same here after doing an Extended Database Repair, End session was partly causing my faulty sessions along with errors in many region assets example below:

Fyi, we're looking into the issue with the End Session rule. It (most likely) will mean that "gameplay" sessions won't work until we get an updated version to you.

So meanwhile I would focus on the Turffx and clutter effect layers and we'll attempt to get a new version of the asset to you tomorrow (actually today as it's after midnight right now).

Re:
VE45: The tag 'car3' is not permitted within a container of type 'region'.

We'll take a look at what's changed (content or code), and let you know.

I don't want to install this patch. Why am I prompted to do so even if I select the T:ANE stream?
 
I did install the patch and now Trainz will not start, even after several DB repairs. So, I am stuck. I wish I did not install it, and from now on I will set up a "recovery point" in windows before I do. I cannot find a sadder face than this one: :'(
 
Installed version 105458 with no problems.

I have about 20 items, mostly sessions, that show an asset with an unknown locations. It is "End Session" <kuid:-25;1230>. There is a built in asset with the same name only the kuid is -25:1316. When I change the config file to reflex the built in version the error goes away.

This was not an issue in build 105100. Not sure why this is happening.

I have the same issues as above with
"End Session" <kuid:-25;1230> and I am also having the same issue with "Right-Hand Drive DES" <Kuid2:101046:100236:35>
 
FIX FOR END SESSION ISSUE: (and many missing dependencies for sessions)

Here is a link to a .cdp fix for the End Session rule.

Steps to install:
1. Click this link to download the .cdp
2. Once downloaded, open Content Manager and drag the .cdp from your download folder onto the CM window to install.
(Alternatively from in Content Manager click File > Import Content Files and navigate to the download folder and click Open to install.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

Manweb - the End Session rule should fix that issue

Deighton - please allow time for the db repair to complete. It could take many minutes. ANother option is to point to a fresh local data folder and that will also get you up and running.

Hiawathamr - checksum mismatch means the files you have installed are not the ones expected by the patcher. If you don't have a backup copy, then the next step is to reinstall.
 
Thank you, Tony. I was just about to mention the same thing regarding the End Session Rule. Once installed, that'll clean up my database.
 
Hiawathamr - checksum mismatch means the files you have installed are not the ones expected by the patcher. If you don't have a backup copy, then the next step is to reinstall.

I finally got it installed after aborting the install for a few hours.
It was more likely due to the corruption from where it was coming from to my connection.
Anyway, its installed now.

Cheers
