Hi Piere,
Thanks for the tip on Surveyor 2.0 I haven't tried that yet.
Unfortunately, for built-ins and DLC, copying and pasting assets is not allowed.
I agree on the other points.
Unfortunately I'll never be able to properly reproduce the terrain and flora as that's way more effort than I'm prepared to do. My lighting is harsher and the trees different in particular as I have already merged the LotBN I with the Switchback's BN Oasis route, but I might come back and re-think the trees at a later date.
Cheers,
Piere.
Wow, do we share a brain? I too merged both LoBN's with BN Oasis! I call it the Great Northern, and I replaced all the track with TSM track. Great minds think alike! :hehe:
We all share the same brain!
I just merged the BN Oasis into my LoBN I, LoBN II, Eagle River mashup with extras. I found that the route merged fairly well at the far end of the LoBN I. I moved my "Tacoma" portal to the end of the BN Oasis. I then changed the track to match mine, did some extra signaling and added speed limit signs, but other than that not much else was needed.
I connected the Eagle River where the dead ended spur is across from the branch to the power plant on LoBN II. I worked in the branch into a tunnel and then along the shore and into Beaver Lake. I have since added other branches and more complex operations out of there and on the Eagle River with the theme being the same and kept consistent. This is one of those routes that works well. The AI have their, mostly through traffic, duties except for the power plant run, and I do the rest of the driving including switching and log pickups at the far end of the Eagle River.
I put mine in a way that made sense. BN Oasis starts at the fictional town of Scott, WA and runs to the abandoned spur at LoBN 2. I added a nice wye and had the track either go to Wellington, WA or to Vernon, WA. About a 1/4th of a mile from Vernon, WA I added a wye to the pre-existing spur and that lead into LoBN 1.
I'm still having trouble merging in Eagle River. It'll take a short time to merge everything else but Eagle River takes in indefinite amount of time and doesn't even merge completely. May try again.
No to hijack the topic, but are LotBN I and LotBN II significantly different routes? I thought maybe II was just an update of I. But then someone mentioned the other day that maybe I was freeware? I am interested in doing what you all are doing, if I don't hash the whole thing. I have II and the Oasis.
Hi Piere,

I thought you can still copy and paste in a built-in/DLC route. But you cant save it as a scrapbook and use it in other routes.
Wrong. You bought the license to put the route in the game and use it as is. You don't own the route.
You can only upload an alias of a payware route. If you update the original route, or remove it from your system, the aliased route no longer works.In TRS19's advertising, it is specifically advertised that "now you can edit payware routes and upload them to the dls" or something along those lines. With this logic in mind you should be able to merge routes, sense you are able to do practically everything else in the editing menu, including uploading payware routes.

The problem with the merging process is that it deletes the payware protection from a payware route. So once merged, an uploaded payware route can be downloaded and installed by users who do not have the original payware on their system.
