The rows of keys the public simulator does not read sat among the others in
Graphics and Effects, where a player with that exe could not tell them apart. They
are now one section at the end of Advanced, with a note that an older exe skips
them. Graphics and Effects hold what that exe reads.
Buffer scale and anti-aliasing stay in Graphics, as an older exe reads them through
other keys. The level list of the atmosphere rows goes with them; the whole levels
still set that group. With its rows gone, the nature section is called Smoke.
Its name and memory, with the other cards in the tooltip. Windows has them in the
registry. On Linux the name comes from the driver or pci.ids and the memory from
amdgpu or nvidia-smi; without either there is only the name. A card in a processor
says shared memory, as what it reports is a share set in the firmware.
No rating of the card against the settings: what a ride takes depends on the
textures of its scenery and vehicles, which are not known before it starts.
What the merge left out, now on this branch's own six levels:
- GraphicsRules, which say what a renderer or an anti-aliasing mode rules out,
and the notes that show it
- the settings split into Graphics and Effects tabs
- the DLSS library check beside the exe
- eu07.ini import and export
- one list of renderers: the backend follows from the renderer chosen
The post-processing part of the levels is gone, as three switches cannot tell six
levels apart. Bloom goes with the whole level.
Still a transitional variant. The old renderers, their keys and their rows stay
on the page, as the exe a player runs may be an old one or may have no Vulkan.
That branch's five-level list and its removal of the old renderers stay out.
A transitional variant, since the exe a player runs may not have the new
renderers. The old renderers stay in the list and the old keys are still written
next to the new ones. A new exe without Vulkan starts OpenGL by itself, an old one
reads the word as its legacy renderer, and both pass over the keys they do not know.
Taken from Hirek193's branch:
- the new keys as rows of a section of their own, with their texts
- their values on the graphics levels, in steps over the six levels here, with
High as what the simulator does with nothing set
- Vulkan 1.4 in the list of renderers, and its own keys marked as idle without it
- gfx.buffer.percent next to the old buffer keys, read before them
- gfx.antialiasing saved below multisampling, for the later line to count
Keys checked against feat/gl46-migration of the simulator.
Left out, as this branch has its own or does not need them: the rewritten settings
page and its five levels, GraphicsRules, the DLSS library check, eu07.ini import and
export, and the removal of the old renderers.
12.1.3 stops drawing a stretched PathGeometry, which took the Discord icon, so
this goes one patch past the version Dependabot offered.
Three things follow from the new version. A combo box placeholder keeps its full
opacity. The consist strip's padding, ignored until now, is gone, as it would
take 4 px from the panels above. A scenery picked from code is brought into view.
With no scenery selected the button starts a new one in the editor. Each launch
notes the scenery, the timetable number and the vehicles for the tapes. Tools
work on the selected scenery, and an emptied consist stays listed.
Reads physicslog/*.dat and draws each trip as a Hasler tape or, for vehicles
with an electronic recorder, as an evaluation screen. Tapes are grouped by
launch, and a launch still running can be followed live. Includes whole-tape
PNG export and a summary of times and averages. With the log off, the page
offers to turn it on.
A consist added to the warehouse gets a name there. The crew type stays through
loading a consist. The vehicle base window replaces the texture base. The depot
follows consists changed on the scenarios page, also with the warehouse tab
left open.
A sticky quality bar, a level and a reset per section, key bindings in their
own tab. UART moves into the page. A log and tools window replaces
AdvancedSettingsWindow, and the developer tab is gone.
Six levels of detail climbing in even steps, High being where a player with no
settings of their own starts. Five parts of the picture can also take a level
of their own. Resolutions start from the monitors in the computer.
uartfeature with nothing selected writes "no no no no"; uart and uarttune are
written whole or not at all. On Linux the file's contents tell a Windows build,
a native one and a script from a note that merely has the execute bit.
Saves keep comments and every byte they do not change. Faults in a scenery's
text are found and described. Files that change while the starter runs are
picked up without a manual reload.
Translations also come from folders of the player's, the old starter's
lang-XX.txt and the simulator's XX.po. Strings for the commits that follow in five
languages, shorter where they had grown.
A failed write leaves the old file in place. Settings that could not be read
are not saved over. UI exceptions reach the log. Started from a shortcut set
up elsewhere, the starter moves to its own folder when only that one holds a
game.
The game's key file has its descriptions stripped of them. Where a
description is the bundled one without the letters, the bundled one is
shown; the file itself is left as it is.
Pressing a key for a command in the list doubled the combination up when
another command had it, and the simulator maps a combination to one command
only. It now moves over, as it already did from the key flyout.
Thin stripes ran together. Each connection now has its own square in a 2 by 4
block placed like the editor's checkboxes, so its place says what it is as
much as its colour, and an empty place is a dot. Mechanical is black, as the
hook is, with a light edge to show on the dark strip.
Under the coupler's icon runs a stripe for each connection in its own colour -
brake red, multiple-unit blue, high voltage yellow and so on - so the strip
tells the kinds of coupling apart, not just coupled from free. The editor's
checkboxes carry the same colours as the legend.
The ambient coolant flag leaves the coupler flyout: it is the vehicle's and
already sits in the vehicle panel, beside the crew and the wagon number.
A driver in cab 1 goes into the first car of a unit and one in cab 2 into the
last - the ET42-A has only cab 1, the ET42-B only cab 2. The crew is the
unit's: the card, the details and replacing a vehicle all set it there,
rather than in whichever car happened to be selected.
Each state gets its own icon and colour, and a bar under it ties the two
cards: broken when free, thicker when permanent, absent at the back. Green
is gone - on the strip it already means selected or turned round.
The old starter looked a vehicle up by folder, skin and model. The folder was
left out here, and 39 skin names recur across folders - "red" is a Clio, an
Audi and a crane - so a vehicle could get another folder's livery.
The ET42-026 dresses both halves in 112E-026 and the scenery tells them apart
by the model. Textures were keyed by the skin alone, so the B half became a
second A: not part of the set, and listed on its own. A shared skin now gets
the model in its id, vehicles are looked up by skin and model, and the
vehicle cache is rebuilt for the new ids.
It now says where the starter looks for the simulator and why it matters,
that starting from the wrong folder is the usual cause, and answers with
"Point to the simulator" and "Not now" instead of Yes and No.
The pick is kept in the per-user eu07.ini, which every installation shares,
so a binary chosen in one folder was missing in another and the starter
complained although a simulator sat right there. A missing pick now gives
way to the search and is logged once.
The simulator reads the last vehicle's coupler for one thing, whether to put
up the end signals. It does not couple the train to anything behind it, as
the tooltip and a comment claimed.
A disabled checkbox shows no tooltip, so the settings override that greys
out "ready to go" is now said under it. The consist vehicle count counted
units, so a multi-unit was one vehicle; it now counts cars like the stats bar.
Each coupler on the consist strip now shows its state: free, coupled,
multiple-unit, permanent, and at the back whether the end signals go up.
The tooltip gives the code and the connections instead of the drag hint,
and the flyout edits mark the coupler as set by hand and restyle it in
place. The note about 0 on the last vehicle is gone - the colour says it.
Elektrowozy, Spalinowozy, Szynobusy, Wagony A... in Polish, and the old names
in English, Czech and Hungarian; Hungarian keeps the electric locomotives
apart from the trams, which the old list called the same, and Russian, which
it did not have, goes plural like the rest.
Picking a category picks its first class and lists that class, instead of
every vehicle of the category; only categories with something in them are
offered, in the old order. The archival switch has its own line, the class
box shows the thumbnail of the class picked, and the search sits above the
list and looks through every vehicle. The rows are the bare texture names, a
set marked faintly; an empty list says what to do; the thumbnail and Add
share a line so the list keeps its height.
