To recap: you have successfully copied the desired scenery/mixmap/lofts/terrain to your new route and are happy with the result? you have run the track merge function (using the same offsets of course?) and get no error but don't see the added track? Questions: do you see the added track in the 2D map? If so then you have some sort of missing track type/network rule type (check that the copied track uses a network rule in the target route as well as the track type) If not then the track hasn't copied at all (duh). So try copying just one tile of track and check the on-screen report window thing. Send a screenshot of that.
Yes i have sucsesfully copied the scenery function The tracks in the source route(added route) are perfectly fine all visible but the tracks in the target route dissapear im merging ECMl with South london & thameslink and the routes track dissapear between kentish town and london bridge & elephant and castle and i dont see the track in the 2d map i have checked them in thw world editor tried to see if theyre invisible but theyre not theyre just completley gone i have changed the track rule and track type in south london & thameslink to ECMLS track rule and Track concrete 01
So in this case the track you are adding is ok but the track you are adding into has gone? Is any of the target route's track still visible - if so then this suggests either an issue with specific track sections (using a different track type that isn't playing nicely) or something else. Do the two sets of track cross each other by any chance?
@cunningn#3154 Have you by any chance done any YT video tutorials on merging routes buddy ? I would love to merge my Milford Haven-Neyland to Swansea route to the Shrewsbury-Bristol-Swansea merged route. Two completely different era's but i could always go modern at my end.
no - because it isn't a user-ready piece of software - I did it (13 years ago IIRC) to do several specific things for my route - it wasn't intended to be used by others. Supporting utility software is a PITA even if it is professionally produced and tested (which this isn't). It is 'available' on an 'on your head be it' basis. I answer the odd polite query here when it looks like someone has mostly got it and just need a nudge to be successful. So, if you want to try it then download it - read the 'documentation' and see if you understand the methods and reasons for what it is doing. If you do then try it out and proceed by trial-and-error. If you don't understand it then leave it alone ;-)
Hiya buddy, oh i see it's your own bit of kit. Sorry i did not realise that. Probably will not understand it, so better leave well alone. I think i did have it on my pc once but couldn't make head nor tail of it. That is what i like about Trainz Surveyor. Grab your two compatible routes, join in the editor, save and job done. Thanks for replying again, muchos appreciatos
Yes the two sets of track cross each other at copenhagen on a bridge the overground tracks in the mml route it connects to the rest of the sll & thameslink route and the target track is visible execpt for the missing section between kentish town and lon bridge any track outside this section is still visible
So the crossing at Copenhagen is ok but a section to the West isn't? Two thoughts: you haven't included that section in your coordinates (unlikely if the scenery is there) it is a different track type/trackrule to everything else and isn't copying. Have a look at the track in your original version of the target route (the one with missing track) and check what tracktype/rule it is just in case (I'm not convinced but worth checking all bases). I suggest that you undo what you've done so far and revert back to your original state (ie with a fresh copy of the target route incl Kentish Town etc). Then confirm that the missing track i in the target route. Then re-do the scenary clone - and re-check the track. then do the track copy and see where you get.
Merged two fresh copies of each route and checked the track rule in the target and it seems fine as the track type & rule hasnt changed perhaps it has something to do with track tiles overwriting eatchother? as the ecml and thameslink routes come very close to eatchother near holloway My track tiles are -000012,+000049 and +000023,-000068 for the ecml
Could well be. if so then you'll need to add one or other track in manually. if itd only a few tiles then should be doable. good luck
did all of that and finished it, went to merge lofts and the lofts dont appear they only appear in select places i checked to see if they overwrite others but seems not to
Sorry you are still having issues.Sounds like a variation on the track issue. The utility works sequentially and the areas of overlap may be interfering with each other during the sequence though I've no idea why. You could try running the conversion to completely blank route (that uses the Cambs route template) and see what happens. If you see all of the lofts there then you have a choice to manually substitute the lofts you want into your new converted route with everything else in it. Not a use case that I ever needed to test I'm afraid.
Tested it in a base route using mml as the base route and still dosent work. Checked inside loft tile files and found some to be incomplete while others pop up with an error. sorry if im botehring you
That's a shame but it at least shows the problem isn't just the utility (slightly selfish view I guess). As with the track issue I think the answer is to cover the gaps manually rather than spend lots of time trying to diagnose a strange effect of the merge tool. I'm sorry that it hasn't been as helpful as it has for other users but you've given it a try. Good luck.
since when was that problem my own making i literally didnt even make the tool myself i dont even know the code put into it thats like saying its my fault if my own dishwasher breaks
