Gisela GI/1E (3Ds Max 9, Extension 1)

A small update (0.9.2) is available at the database. Better bogeys, interior lighting at night and door sounds are covered.

Oh, here: http://www.trsberlin.de/wbb/index.php?…Data&dataID=156

I just updated the entry.

I think there is a technical problem regarding the version of the CDP, or a problem with the way I packaged it last night because the hard drive I sent it to temporarily went offline while processing it. This is because I am using TS2010 CDPs (3.2) although the version of the content itself is 2.5.

Many apologies, but i will try and upload a revised file tonight, GMT. I consider all issues seriously to ensure it works for Trainz 2006+SP1 or later.

The corruption of the CDP due to the hard drive going temporarily off-line has been resolved.

I am looking into the problem with the night lighting: I have used SetTextureSelfIllumination, which first originated from Modula City to accomplish night lighting, but when was that command first introduced to Trainz? If necessary I may have to introduce two versions with and without the new technologies that TS2009 and onwards have, which may affect night-lighting.

Also, I have noticed that the acceleration and deceleration speeds vary between TRS2006 and TS2009.

I am re-uploading the old version while I investigate the issues.

Once again I must apologise for the technical problems resulting from the latest beta release (0.9.3) and for now the database entry will be reverted back to the older 0.9.1.

I am however willing to inform you that after testing the product on a fresh version of the Berlin U-Bahn, on TRS2006, the source of the problem is not the new bogies, nor the door sounds, but the was the way that the night-lighting algorithm was implemented. As BlwPkh has pointed out, the problem is with the function SetTextureSelfIllumination that was in fact a new feature, integrated into the game since TS2009. The trouble with the game is that a single script error causes the entire file to not load at all, which then makes the rest of the features fail. By checking JetLog.txt the blame appears to be solely on the use of SetTextureSelfIllumination. That has been now deleted from the next beta, 0.9.5a until I can find the code for the actual function to be included independently in the gi1e.gs script.

I would like to update you on the progress of the night-light scripts. There will now be two versions of the Gisela. The first version will have the night-light technology and is intended for Trainz with Modula City, TS2009 and TS2010. The second version will not have night-lighting technology and is intended for older editions (TRS2006).

Ich möchte Sie über den Fortgang der Nacht-Licht-Skripte zu aktualisieren. Es werden nun zwei Versionen der Gisela. Die erste Version wird die Nacht-Licht-Technologie und ist auf Trainz mit Modula City, TS2009 und TS2010 bestimmt. Die zweite Version wird keine Nacht-Licht-Technologie und ist für ältere Versionen (TRS2006) bestimmt.
