Release 1.73.1.114 - 1334 TFGM
Release 1.22.1.17 - 1334 Loader

I have been away for some work and couldn't spend as much time I usually to do with TFGM.
Here is a small update, mainly fixing the TFGMLoader crash when installing updates.

!!! NOTE !!!
Once again, due to a bug in the TFGMLoader.exe the auto update might not work for you.
If so, manually update TFGM and then you should be alright again.

* Search in Vehicle manager now also includes the mod's file name.
* Log system improved with more messages.

* Added estimated vehicle length in vehicle manager.
* Added filter button to only show the highest version of each vehicle in vehicle manager.
* Added preparations for upcoming update.
* Added new switch to TFGMLoader -Test

* Fix. Vehicle view didn't scroll on keyboard up/down arrows.
* Fix. TFGMLoader crash on install.

@Xanos war auch mehr als Bugreport gedacht mit Fehleranalysehilfe

Does this means it works for you now?

Zitat von disi

I still cannot import more than one mod at a time, especially if mods in the same folder are already registered.

With import, do you mean a drag n drop operation? TFMM import? Catalog download? or Scan function?
Can you start TFGM do whatever you do to get the problem, close TFGM and send me the log file in a PM or by mail...

I tried the new version 1.7.0.105 - 1325 a problem.
Also a change in Preferences.lua isn't solving the problem.
My Steam is installed at : D:\Games\Steam.
I get also an auto corretur back to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\" every time.

Can you send me the log file TFGMLog.txt in a PM. It is located in the same folder as TFGM and teh log feature is enabled by default (if you haven't turned it off).

Release 1.7.0.105 - 1325

* NEW! Built in Train-Fever.net mod catalog.
Browse, download and register mods from train-fever.net directly from TFGM's built in catalog feature.
This is a very basic and a raw version of it, but it will improve in the coming updates
After a mod has been downloaded TFGM will try to register it. If this succeeds, the mod is moved from
the Download to Library folder. If it fails, the mod will remain in the Download folder.
Remember that not all files are "mods", some are a tools, texture packs etc... these you have to handle manually.
TFGM is capable of "unlimited" parallel downloads in the background, but on request from our Administrators at
train-fever.net, TFGM will only download one mod at a time to not overload the server. In coming updates TFGM
will queue mods so more than one mod can be selected for download (but still downloaded one-by-one).

* Added more log messages
* Fix. TFGM freeze/not starting if some application was running in the background; such as Overwolf and Cortana.
* Fix. Tag edit button not showing correct images.
* Fix, Add new tag from the mod detail view not working.

A simple toggle would be cool or a popup if you want to install a new mod if the programm should scan again

=> OPTIONS
=>Scan mods on startup

=> Adding new Mod
=> Popup => Scan mod folder?

Alles anzeigen

I have changed so the vehicles isn't scanned until you open the Vehicle manager for the first time in that session.
More intelligence will be added when I have the base functionality debugged..

Zitat von DofD

Is it normal that the programm has to skip all the mods again and again on every startup?!

For now it is scanning all vehicles at startup. I'm planning to have this done a bit different. I can move the scan to the vehicle manager window being opened (for the first time) instead.

Zitat von petrolhead

I've got another problem - when I start the scan of the mods, I get an errormessage and TFGM stops working.

The address is random, not 2 times the same. No further information unfortunately

Hi, sorry long time no see
Next to the access violations when scanning for mods, I do get this if I try to start the game from TFGM
build 5798 (GOG)
TFGM 1.4.0.92 -1312
Loader 1.1.1.6 - 1260

the preferences look fine in the appdata folder for tfgm
and I can open the root folder, music folder etc.
Just this error when I try to start the game from tfgm

Alles anzeigen

Go to preferences under the tool menu. In the "General" tab, make sure the "Generate log file" is checked. If not check it, press Ok and restart TFGM.
Do whatever you do to get the errors.
After the error has shown, exit TFGM (if you aren't already thrown out) and go to the folder where TFGM exe file is. You should find a file called TFGMlog.txt Please send the log file to me, either as an attachment or copy paste in a PM. You would probably want to send it to me in a PM because the log file might contain some information about your computer.

I have been out of town for a few days, I will check this ASAP.

Zitat von DofD

There you go sorry for the delay

Hope this helps
Deleting the .lua fixes the problem

It was as I suspected, the file strings.lua is missing. How ever, TFGM should handle this situation. I will fix it to the next update.

***EDIT
When inspecting the code, this situation is already covered, BUT!
The mod is packed all wrong. The archive should contain a folder with the mod ID and major version. The archive is named by the mod ID and then only contains the res folder.

It should look like this to be correct:
My_Archive.zip (archive)
  |
  -- bandion_Bcm242-243-DB_1 (folder)
  |
  +-- Res (folder)
  +-- info.lua
  +-- strings.lua
  +-- image_00.tga

The tfmm.ini doesn't matter.

Zitat von DofD

Hey Gwinda it would be cool if we could edit the loading speed of our vehicles

As you have noticed, the vehicle manager is a great platform with a lot of potential. This is only the beginning of what I have in mind

PS.

Zitat von DofD

So i encountered a problem
I wanted to install serveral mods but TFGM doesnt recognices the mods corectly and it seems that it has to do with the info.lua
If i drag the mod into the manager it only recognizes the name of the archive but not the creator, version, name, desription etc etc.

Can you send me the link to the mod you had problems with?

Release 1.4.0.92 - 1312

* Added a timeline view in the vehicle browser.
- Mouse wheel, scroll up/down in list.
- SHIFT + Mouse Wheel, scroll horizontal along time axel.
- CTRL + Mouse Wheel, zoom in/out time
For now, the item at the top is always scrolled into view when scrolling up/down.
The vehicle type is looked up in the tag manager to get the color.

* Added some more vehicle info in the Vehicle manager.
* Added a progress indication when loading vehicles into the vehicle manager.
* Added default images for each vehicle type (when an image is missing).
* Added a new standard tag: Car

* Fix. On close, progress window showed old information from previous usage.
* Fix. Added some missing hint messages.
* Fix, A missing UTF8 conversion when scanning vehicles.

Can you send me a link to the non working mod. I need the full mod to investigate this.
I'm currently on vacation and will be back in a week or so. I have very limited internet access so I will try to get a look at it as soon I can.

Release Release 1.3.0.91 - 1308

* Added a vehicle browser.
* Fixed the tag export filename not including the right path.
* Fixed the empty tag list if no tag had been selected in mod view.
* Lua engine now loads external script references.
* Targa images now use alpha mask.

The vehicle browser currently only shows all installed (vanilla, dlc and mods) vehicles and their data.
It scans your TF installation at startup, so be a bit patient

I think I found a drawing on the Litt B steam engine.
