Trainz Plus Beta update available - Windows, Mac & Steam
Hi folks, Laurence here. I'm in charge of N3V QA and this is my first external release. We have put this build through extensive internal testing and we are happy it is now ready for external testing. As usual, we encourage you to try things out with a fresh install first and then work towards more extensive testing using your unique installed content.
Available Builds:
Trainz Plus PC 117669 to Trainz Plus PC 118495 - Trainz Plus Beta patch stream
Trainz Plus STEAM 117661 to Trainz Plus STEAM 118488 – Trainz Plus [trainzplusbeta]
Trainz Plus MAC 117688 to Trainz Plus MAC 118533 - Trainz Plus Beta patch stream
Trainz Plus MAC STEAM 117706 to Trainz Plus MAC STEAM 118523 - Trainz Plus [trainzplusbeta]
For Trainz Plus Windows & Trainz Plus Mac, select the Trainz Plus beta update stream.
For Steam (Mac & Windows), go to properties > Betas > Enter beta code “trainzplusbeta1” and click on Check Code. Then select trainzplusbeta from the dropdown listing to update.
This is 9.6GB update
Key Features:
We have the new Content Packages Palette S20 tool ready for Beta testing. This tool allows the route owners to authorise DLC content for use within Routes, including MPS Routes.
To enable this feature for MPS, create a new route, activate the Content Package Palette tool from the Windows Menu in S20. Deselect “All Installed Content” & select “multiplayersurveyor”. Click on Apply and Ok on the subsequent prompts.
Once “multiplayersurveyor” has been activated, use the Share Route feature in the Sharing menu. With the route hosted as an MPS, DLC packages can be activated to use within the route.
The Content Package will display DLC packages installed for the route owner and any activated packages, will require users who want to join the MPS to have installed.
Important:
Some packages require additional packages to use, and the “Automatically Enabled Required Packages” can be used to preselect all required packages in the Content Package Listing. This however isn’t working perfectly just yet. It is recommended users select the core packages by default:
TRS22- Core
TRS22 - Additional Content Packages (1, 2 & 3)
TRS22 - Main Menu Route
TRS22 - KSC 2
TRS22 - MPS Packages
Any additional DLC packages
"List Assets Unsupported by Enabled Packages" will list any assets currently not supported by the current content package listing (even if it hasn’t been applied) to help show the impact of the changes and what assets are not supported.
Placeholder items are used for assets of packages that are not currently active within a route, so turning off packages shouldn't delete assets.
Content Package Palette can be used with previously made routes as well as newly created routes and is useful for identifying specific DLC/Content Packages used within a route, as well as enabling and disabling different content packages used, which will help aid route creation and distribution.
If you want to use the live version and the beta server, you will need to have two builds installed with two different local data folders
