Do we need more random scenery or no?

[jasonjedi1]

Unless im just too stupid. I downloaded the files off gifthub and none of them work? Or am I doing something wrong?

[pwillard]

Well, I didn't package them, if that's what you mean.

You still need to place files into your route the way ORTS expects them.

without adding them to the "route name".ref file?

That's right. New feature available since v8.004 will list any shape found in your route's Shapes directory.



You can still write up Ref file entries if you want to add a more detailed descriptive name, reference a file in another folder, or add things like the shadow type, etc.

For anything else, it's no longer necessary to list every shape you may or may not want to use. Just copy the shape to SHAPES and the textures to TEXTURES.

Not trying to detract from this topic any further... but TSRE is what it is because Goku took a lot of input from people like Vince and Dave Nelson, and occasionally, me.

When long-time route builders are the ones directing the functionality (or making the code updates directly) for tools like the route editor, things like this are going to show up.

And as a route builder myself, I can appreciate it, just as much as I am appreciating Pete and others putting buildings together!

Coming back on topic... TREES are weird.

[eric]

You can never have enough trees.

I love random scenery.

A cell phone tower would be nice. Or perhaps a cell phone tower disguised as a tree. I have seen several of those in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.

50ft Tower example.. need to reduce the the polycount a bit though...

Currently playing around with this model. The now burned down Chillicothe Ohio Depot. Hopefully with a little more practice I can get in on the scenery action.

Or a shorter rooftop model...

Both cellphone towers would make a welcome addition.
