I had a few "merge requests" on various pages and i was getting frustrated.

Buildings on the track - when i get the chance i'll fix it (it's basically the Chatham route has a slightly different model for that asset - so when i replaced it i missed it because that section isn't on the Chatham blackfriars section ). It's one of those that keeps re-appearing and i forget to replace (I mean there are probably other small things that i've missed - it's a huge route :)

Danny - been trying to find how to send a comment about the Thameslink routes but comments on Thameslink routes not possible. Anyway having driven on a couple recently after a long gap- I see that you have updated them but there are now 2 buildings on the track between London Bridge and Blackfriars.

Well it's gone now - so do what you want! since apparently even though i didn't give permission you'll just upload it anyway!

So i guess time for me to remove the South London & Thameslink route then, i mean if you're doing that mine is now redundant? I mean you only said "South London" you never said the thameslink route?

yes i will

"I mean there is a lot more track than just london bridge - there is a flyover too. (I assume you are going to do that on South London Network? )"

you replied "yes"

why would you remove it? i can give credit to you

I guess i'll just remove South London & Thameslink then, since apparently you'll upload it regardless...

yes i said your south london and thameslink route that dosent include the NLL

I mean you said South London Network?

I mean if you do i might as well delete mine? Even though not finished.

danny, ive got good news i have sucsesfully merged the scenery to the route. Now all i need to do is copy the tracks frm the ecml. also can i have permission to reupload it to the steam workshop as it includes your south london and thameslink route

I get that you want to merge a route that has a different point of origin, but don't seem to understand that it's a lot of work, I haven't done that for a reason - you assume that i've got all the time in the world to merge routes - and you've asked me too, I mean i have lots of unfinished stuff that i need to do before more stuff - I appreciate the enthusiasm but you have to realise to do what you want isn't for novices and takes a lot of effort :)

That's the top corner of the route you have to to the map and find the top corner and go there, there is your number - I mean no offence I've not used the tool, and there is a manual, again i have not used that tool! You should read the manual or ask there?

i get it but where it says ie +105 minus -68 = +173. does that mean for the source its +00000 and target is -00000?

I mean literally what it says ?? "copy serz.exe" from the railworks colder into the Temp folder under C:\ ??

also do you have any idea what copy serz.exe into c:/temp mean?

I haven't used the tool :)

i keep getting an error called error in TileCopy Could not find a part of the path in 'c:/temp/workfile.bin'. when i click run do you know what this means or i can do to fix this?

That only merges, routes with the same point of orgin

what about rwmerge the tool that dosent exist anymore?

Yes via that tool, every item is linked to the tile its on, you cant just change one file and expect the route to move it doesnt work like that. Once you start a route you can't change it that way, you have to use a complex tool to move things. Which is why i pointed you to that tool on the forum....

so is there any way to move the whole route to the swanley point?

It would, you havent changed anything, just changing that does nothing. Every item placed in every single tile needs to be moved, that's why you need a complex tool, if it were just changing that i would have merged loads of other routes by now.

i changed all the settings from the mml routeproperties to where it starts in the ecmls one and its still spawning at sandy

If you are talking about the tool, i think it moves the tiles to another set - but as i said the tiles don't line up from one route to another - so you will have to re-do part of the route regardless.

i see something that says map offset and map cords does this mean i can change the offset without having to redo part of the route?

I mean just spawning there doesn't mean much?

i mean when i enter the route i spawn south of kings cross where the overground passes over

I mean so you've moved the ECML to the Swanley point of origin, and Kings Cross is now just south of where the Overground passes over? I'm assuming? I mean I can't see your pc, i don't know what you're looking at?

I mean i don't know, i can't see what you've done?

so i have changed the data of the ecml route and now it spawns just south of kings cross where the overground passes over do you think its ready to be merged?

yes

I mean there is a lot more track than just london bridge - there is a flyover too. (I assume you are going to do that on South London Network? )

well i hav, but it is only the tracks and stuff with a bit of scenery

I mean have you done route building before? I'm getting the impression you haven't

also i plan to rebuild london bridge how much will this take before i do it?

I mean you'll still have the same issue with the offset - but still ask him, i don't know how it works :)

what if i copy the data off a swanley origin point route and put it in the ecml?

You'd have to ask him :) - I think there is a manual in there - i've not used it :)

i got a question what does scrc (x,y) top-left to bot right , tgf (x,y) top-left to bot right and gOffset - x.gOffset - y mean?

I'm not planning on merging ecml to any route though?

When i have time, i think you'll be waiting a while :)

ok, i will try it but will probbaly mess it up can you try it when you have time to?

Sadly i don't have time to do that - I mean there is a tool here you can try it with :) -
https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/how-to-merge-routes-in-tsc.74286/#post-726725

would you be able to do it and see how much workit is?

I mean probably quite a bit, but i don't know for certain because i haven't done it :) - but i think at least Kings Cross to Finsbury park - I mean that's all guess work, but i know for certain that Kings Cross most likely won't be anywhere near the correct spot

how much stuff would you need to redo?

There isn't a way to match the tiles of other routes - even if you repoint the track you're going to need to redo a lot of stuff sadly

ok sorry, back to the ecml how much track would need to be redone for it to be suited for a merge or is there a way to make it match the tiles of the other routes?
