openBVE v1.2.6.1 and updated openBVE developer tools
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"openBVE<\/a>openBVE v1.2.6.1 has been released, which includes a bugfix relating to the Options.UnitOfSpeed command, which could for example, involve an incorrect speed limit being determined when the Route.Limit command is used. Please \u00bb download the latest release \u00ab<\/a><\/span> if this issue affects you.<\/p>\n

Also, when I posted my last blog entry<\/a>, I forgot to mention that the \u00bb openBVE Route Viewer \u00ab<\/a><\/span> has been updated. When your route is loaded, you can now simply type in a distance via the main number keys (not the numberpad keys), and hit Enter — the camera will then be moved directly to the location you just entered. This is an immensely useful time-saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, when you pass a CSV format route or object file as a command line parameter to either Route Viewer or Object Viewer, the tools will now auto-detect whether the CSV file is a route or an object, and load the appropriate tool automatically. Please see the Tools section within the \u00bb Developing for openBVE \u00ab<\/a><\/span> pages for more information. For developers who haven’t used the command line for opening routes or objects before, it can be done as follows (obviously replace the path and file names according to your own setup):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Network West Midlands openBVE updates<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"InformationThe \u00bb Network West Midlands \u00ab<\/a> (NWM) team have announced some promising updates for the first 2010 release of the route network, which should make some good use of openBVE’s capabilities and features. We can look forward to such delights as random moving traffic on overbridges, moving passing trains similar to what I’ve demonstrated in one of my early YouTube videos<\/a>, various points of interest, multiple eras, random routing\/weather conditions\/other features thanks to openBVE’s \u00bb $Include directives \u00ab<\/a>, 3D signals, trees and lamp posts similar to those I’ve shown previously<\/a>, along with the addition of catenary based on my own high detailed Cross-City South OHLE objects<\/a> throughout the routes, where a very nice job has been done with their implementation. Some excellent new track textures have also been prepared for the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming Taipei Metro route for openBVE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"InformationI noticed some new screenshots of the Taipei Metro Xinbeitou Branch Line, being developed for openBVE by \u00bb BVETRT \u00ab<\/a>, and I wanted to mention them as I think they look superb. There’s richly coloured scenery, the detailing of the stations and near-track areas looks fantastic, and the railway infrastructure is very well modelled and convincing. Also take a look at this \u00bb YouTube video \u00ab<\/a> of the line as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Server upgrade<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"RailsimroutesLastly, my webhost kindly migrated Railsimroutes to a new, high performance shared server recently, and they also installed the Nginx reverse proxy webserver in conjunction with Apache, which I’ve noticed has increased the responsiveness of the site along with page loading times. The migration went smoothly, but if anyone has had any issues with the site during the last three weeks, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
