I say the same of Alberte says.

That's great, Ishie! Feel free to join all the threads, even by using your Floridan English.

Hi guys,

Like my good friend Ish I have been away for sometime from the Auran forums as they left a sour taste in my mouth and have been getting into Railworks 2 and other ventures! 

Over the last couple days I return to the forums and have read many disturbing things, seems the place has not improved much, as someone that created many avatars for Auran & done much testing I find myself turned off completely by the companies attitude towards the long time members such as us!

Anyways I hope everyone the best and sorry I didn't pop in sooner too say hello,

Lorin

Ps. If you have the time please come over to our little hideout and say hi..

http://acwgroup.forumotion.ca/

All the best

[zatovisualworks]

Hi Lorin,

A pleasure to hear from you. The fact is that the new "company" in charge is spoiling the party and the enjoyment for some of us (increasingly more and more).

Their trend seems to consist of pleasing the brand new or freshmen trainzers rather the core old-timers who have purchased  everything loyally:

Software, FCt's, etc.

and contributed loyally with our work (Time is money, we used to say in the XXth century) and assets to the commonwealth of the DLS.

And all this is become pure bare dull business for the sake of business. We were not used to that, I must admit.

Disappointment could be the word to define all this!

Keep coming, Lorin, when you feel like it.

The best for you too,

Alberte

Hi Albert,

You know, seriously, I am going to be very upset if they go forward with it and eliminated the DLS just to save a few bucks!!! Auran is trying hard to push us to use CMP!!! I only use it to test contents, not search for things!!

Ishie

[zatovisualworks]

My blunt question, Ishie, to these guys...

http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?p=738710#post738710

If no answer, I'll start thinking these guys have a blacklist right now.

Instead of playing Trainz, I think they are playing us. And the situation is quite different, they are no longer the cottage garage company Auran used to be and we all supported. Such N3VRfail could start thinking that what could be starting failing is core customers support, spite of the servile Prætorian Guard, which always was defeated by new emperors in Rome. 

Alberte

[ish6]

Yeah, i read your question earlier today ...

It's about money -- it's the reason they're thinking of eliminating the DLS! They figure that this new generations is more comfortable using CMP then the DLS -- I think they're wrong on that point -- I think they're forgetting about their core customers, who have been there since the start! Remember Chris and Terry are kind of new, as Auran lay off their original stuff when Fury almost killed the company!

Time will tell how this thing will play out!!!

Ishie

[TGV_3]

I'm agree, the download station its more better in the past, the another customers are angry 

One question, Can TRS2009 and TRS2010 access without FCT to DLS??

PD: I'm never use traslate, in my country is obligatory the english in High School 

[zatovisualworks]

One question, Can TRS2009 and TRS2010 access without FCT to DLS??

Not lately. FCT holders have full priority. Slots for free access are in compromise and not working without myriads of patience and waiting. A commercial deceiving trick? Maybe. These new guys at N3VRfail (-except for the DLS! ) are unpredictable.  The utmost pity is that they are trading with the commonwealth of all the bona fide contributors to the DLS in the past and in the present. Maybe not in the future... when people open up their eyes to N3V Games business reality.

Well, at least, that's good news -- I guess changes meaning slower bandwidth to choke us all, regardless of first ticket or not! I know I am speculating, but with Auran these days you never know!

[ish6]

Hi Albert,

I had to post up that thank you thread, especially for Craig, seeseeme. He’s fixing hundred of items, and few that I recommended to you like Ray, who no longer can participate due to health issues, jack which I have not see in a while, plus Elynor, who passed away some time. I just had to give thanks to Craig – to my surprise there’s no credit to him for fixing the items – the items are uploaded as if the original creator fix them himself!

Like I said, Auran completely forgot about their hardcore customers, etc … it’s all about the principle here, like Mike said! The 1000th limit check does have me rattled; since I have always used to see how many items I upload for that week or month!

Ishie

[zatovisualworks]

Dear Ishie,

We all core trainzer users know who must be credited for everything going on in Trainz. Craig is one of our beloved trainzers and, as I told on your thread on neverfailingn Forum, he (and others) should be given more than a ceremonial thankyou. Like mass contributors like you, Ishie.

The company who never fails is being mean, ungenerous and unpro. Not for repeating it many times it's less painful.

Alberte 

[ish6]

Oh, I do understand ....

to be honest, I try not to paid too much mind to it because it can really drive someone crazy!

It's the way it is, and it's not going to change from Auran's point of view -- they want to save every buck!!!

Ishie

[zatovisualworks]

Ishiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

I'm watching...



... that you are updating and sending new item for trainz-build 2.7.

I'm afraid that in a few months you'll have to be doing the same... upgrading to trainz-build 2.9

Why bothering to do so in such a short lapse of time? Go straight to 2.9. That's what N3VR failing guys want and want it now!

Really silliness from them that life-expectancy! 

Alberte 

[ish6]

It is silly, but it comes down to forcing people to buy their products ... what happens to those with the classic series? The will then be force to upgrade!

I guess i can start adding the 2.9 built version!

thanks for the update info, Albert!

Ishie

[ish6]

Hi Albert,

Do you have a link here at Iber about this layout of yours?

See, I don't have a first class ticket, and without that Auran forces people to get on their kneees and pray! LOL

You know what's the problem with most folks at the forum is that they think that Auran cares for them.

I have gotten in battles with words with people that doesn't understand that a creator cares for their work -- I have post Auran questions about my own stuff, and yet people step up to answer, and quite negatively and unnecessarily, in situations in which is a valid question, for example, all this public fixing the content issue -- I wasn't sure how that work, and I ask and express my thoughts about it – yet, some people, old timers, sadly enough, took it the wrong way!!

Hello Ishie.

You don't need any script for adding track to an object, only need two attachment points, one in front to another one with the distance between the point like the distance that you need the long of the track.

And add to your config this.

The kind of the object is "buidable" -> Scenery with attachment point you want to use the "fixedtrack" too, basically is the same.

Código: [Seleccionar]

mesh-table
{
  default
  {
    mesh                                "yourmesh.im"
    auto-create                         1
  }
}

attached-track
{
  track0
  {
    track                               <kuid:252428:2> 'The kuid of the track'
    useadjoiningtracktype               1
   
    vertices
    {
      0                                 "a.track0a" 'The attachment point in the mesh'
      1                                 "a.track0b"
    }
  }
}


If you need more help tell me

Regards

Manuel

[ish6]

Hi Manuel,

Excellent -- thank you very much!  

Need to feed the girls so need to turn off the pc for now, but when I get to the pc I'll experiment, etc!!!

One last questions before I go, tho ...

Is that configuration for 2 tracks? I am thinking of making shed from 1 track to 10 tracks!

Take care and I read any response later tonight or tomorrow!!
Ishie

[manweb]

Is that configuration for 2 tracks? I am thinking of making shed from 1 track to 10 tracks!

No, is the configuration for one track, a pair of attachment point for 1 track

If you want to put 10 track you need 20 attachment points,

The pair "a.track0a" and  "a.track0b" points is for one track. and the attachment track with the Y axis oposite into the mesh.
for more tracks a pair.

a.track1a and a.track1b
a.track2a and a.track2b
a.track3a and a.track3b
.....
ETC.
until the last track.
a.track10a and a.track10b

Look for the page 75 of the Content Creator Guide TRS2006, in the example you only need the curved option but only need in your mesh the a.track0a and the a.track0c.

Manuel

In your config, the second attached-track (track1) disable the previous attached-tack (track0) and only show one of them.

Hi Manuel,

Ok, 2 tracks work just fine, but I tried plugging a third, and it shows up as an invisible track! ... any solutions? I Is possible that the attachment points are too close, those overlapping? Or that doesn't matter?

I build a simple object with 8 attachment tracks and copy your config and and one track label more (track4) and work fine.

See that



I send you the object with the mesh via e-mail

Hi Manuel,

You're going to laugh -- in gmax, i had two 2a's --- so I had it like this 2a - 2a ... I changed it to 2a - 2b and it works now, all three tracks are displayed ... It puzzled me because I saw your config file and it mathces perfectly with what i have, so i knew it was not that; instead, it had to be something in gmax, etc!

Thanks a whole my dear friend!!!!!
