Patch v5.21.3_1



[h2]New error log file system[/h2]

There is now an "Error_logs" folder in the route Rolling Line folder.
It stores log data for multiple sessions! So you no longer need to use the AppData folder to report a bug (and it doesn't get erased every time the game is launched).
These log files are also cleaner and easier to read:



[h2]Disable auto-horns for AI trains[/h2]

There's now a setting to toggle the horn being played when AI trains start from a red to green light.
It's a neat feature when there's just a couple of trains, but rapidly gets annoying when a layout has tons of AI trains all stopping and starting, so you can choose to disable/enable it.
Cars also no longer honk on a green traffic light (this was a mistake, not a feature).



[h2]Toggle gravity/collision shortcut key[/h2]

You can now set a custom keyboard binding to enable/disable player collision/gravity in miniature mode. This is very useful if you want to fly the camera around (like when driving trains) without needing to go into the pause menu and disable collision completely. This binding is F8 by default and can be changed in the controls menu.



[h2]Fixed major packaged mods issues[/h2]

Turns out there was a very old bug relating to packaged mods! If a train mod livery is packaged inside a map, and the base mod that it requires is downloaded separately (off the workshop) then the game would fail to link up the livery to its base mod correctly. This has now been fixed.
There was also an additional bug relating to linked save files (where a save would look for packaged mods in a different folder directory). Sometimes this file path would become invalid, and this has been fixed and should no longer be an issue.

[h2]Other minor fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed the cloth physics on flags being broken when using transform edit mode
  • Track held by the player will no longer be included in a track mesh export
  • Both the bulk move tool and track export now select track segments more accurately
  • Removed debug overlays for photo mode that were not suppose to be accessible


[h2]In other news[/h2]

I just attended RailEx (a model train expo here in Wellington, New Zealand), next year I'm hoping to actually get organized beforehand and set up a booth running Rolling Line and have a go at selling some physical game disk copies just for fun.



I also recently dropped off a copy of Model Railroader at a very remote backcountry hut (Maungahuka Hut in the Tararua range). I hope someone gets a laugh one day out of the "Great mountain scenery" title, it's probably the only model railway magazine to ever make its way into the Tararuas ːsteamhappyː
