Version 1.6.0.1

Significant Changes:

OpenBVE v1.6.0.1 is a small hotfix for systems installing using the Debian package only.

Due to an oversight in packaging, libmono-system-xml-linq4.0-cil was not specified as a required system library, and OpenBVE subsequently crashed during loading.

If OpenBVE is working correctly, there is no need to do anything in this case.

Version 1.6.0.0

Significant Changes:

• New: Add Touch Operation to 2D and 3D panels- Existing 2D panels will automatically generate touch zones where possible, if the ‘Extended Panel2’ mode is enabled under options.
• New: Add Track Following Objects.
• New: Route Viewer uses the common texture loader plugins.
• New: Object Viewer will load an extensions.cfg file in order to view an entire train.
• New: Brake pressure, ATS variables etc. may be simulated in Object Viewer.
• New: Further updates to train.xml / CarXMLConvertor. Note: This is still a work in progress feature….
• Fix: Handle where GlowFileWithoutExtension actually has an extension.
• Fix: Issue between P1 and P2 when using the OHC-PC01
• Fix: Issues with certain unusual train setups.
• Fix: Lock when creating the timetable image to prevent a possible crash.
• Fix: Handle a sound.cfg file where the first line(s) are comments.
• Fix: Handle unexpected whitespace in certain obj files.
• Fix: Possible crash in CSV / B3D object parser when an incomplete color was used.
• Fix: Handle another misdetected Unicode case.
• Fix: The Panel2.cfg parser did not handle invalid speed units correctly.
• Fix: Handle where the EM-DASH has been used instead of a minus sign.
• Change: When a train contains both a 2D and a 3D panel, this is noted in the log.

Route Specific Fixes:

• Hacks: Fix assorted issues with the Dutch content available from http://web.ncf.ca/fb214/
• Hacks: Disable derailments for 737-Test Flight
• Hacks: Fix Z-fighting panel on Boeing-737
• Hacks: Fix issues caused by a misplaced comma in Balloch- Dumbarton
• Hacks: If hacks are enabled, enforce a minimum RunInterval of 2 minutes, in order to ensure that the preceeding train has actually cleared the station / player train. (Fixes the duplicate train on top of the player train seen in large amounts of BVE2 content)
• Hacks: Fix issues with the Iiyama 2060 route.

Please note that the developer documentation has been significantly updated and improved.

The URL has changed as a result of this, and it may now be found at:

https://openbve-project.net/documentation_hugo

The site-menu has been updated to reflect this. The old documentation will remain online at it’s current URL for the minute.

This has taken a lot of work, from contributors including S520, MidnightExpress1981 & Marc Riera- Thanks!

Changes:

• Rebuilt using the Hugo site generator, to allow for multi-lingual translation.
• Considerable formatting updates.

Version 1.5.4.1-1

Hotfix Release 2

• Mac: Fix a broken link in the Mono download prompt.

Version 1.5.4.1

Version 1.5.4.0

Significant Changes:

• New: Add TGA image loader plugin.
• New: Add two alternative X object parsers.
• New: Add alternative OBJ parser.
• New: Add alternate sounds for when a power / brake handle is moved continously.
• New: Add microphone sound input & associated routefile sound-source.
• Fix: Correctly handle all MS-ZIP compressed X objects (Applies to all parsers)
• Fix: The speed limit could unexpectedly revert to unlimited in certain circumstances.
• Fix: CarUnexposedFrontalArea was not read correctly from the train.dat file. NOTE: This was being applied incorrectly to CarExposedFrontalArea. This may have a (normally) small affect on train performance.

Notes:

This build introduces alternate parser options for X and OBJ files. These are as follows:

X:

• Original - Michelle’s original parser.
• NewXParser - New scratch-written code.
• Assimp - A C# port of the Assimp library ( https://github.com/assimp/assimp , a modified version of BSD-3 applies to this)

The default X parser will now be set to the NewXParser.

OBJ:

• Original
• Assimp - Assimp - A C# port of the Assimp library ( https://github.com/assimp/assimp , a modified version of BSD-3 applies to this)

The default Obj parser will now be set to the original OBJ parser.

If loading using any of the new parsers fails, the original parsers will be automatically tried as fallback options. A routefile command to control the X parser used is also available:

Options.XParser This may be set to the following: 0 : Original 1 : NewXParser 2 : Assimp
