The longest Chinese route haerbin-dalian line v7 will be mergered with Chinese Beijing route. The author of Beijing route "hou peng" have already got the permission from haerbin-dalian line's author "mubin". He have do some works on that and terrain have been mergered, but now he need a tool to merger 6 global files like .tdb and .rdb files. What this tool need to do is to increase one file node ID by given mumber so it can be mergered with file from another route later. (Since node id number may be difficult to distinguish with data number, so batch text replacement mehtod may not work for that. The tool need identify node id first)I've heared some people have mergered the Canjon pass route and Tehachapi route. So I believe there are must be some home made tool or some method can merger such files. Please help! Or someone can merger files for him?
Thanks!haerbin-dalian line v7 (need haerbin-dalian_final.zip install first)
and Beijing line and other Chinese routes (CJ,CJ2,Jingguang) can be download from here:ftp://61.190.248.100/download/routes/You may got problem for install these 2 routes for there are no enough English document for install detail.

RE: Is there are any tools for route merger?

Hello,With 'TSUtil' you can do it by yourself.There is a function in this tool, which adds special, specified values to Node-ID's and TRItem-ID's as well as in the world-files and in the *.tdb,*.rdb,... files.Beside this, it can change id's of dynamic-references, becaue they are referenced from *.tdb-file, too.Unfortunately this tool is basicly written in german and until now i have not completely translated it.But if you will try it, i can help you. regards

Will just add a word.
Carlos HR's tool is not the easiest to use, but is VERY powerful.
Allowed me already to SHIFT several routes out of GWV probs.
So NCR3 could well, when finished, no longer show white terrain.
ProTrain Tauern was shifted.
Vysocina also.
Also allowed reconstruction of Burgenland 2.0WDQ, ni hao, friendly Regards to Zhongguo !Love and Peace

RE: Is there are any tools for route merger?

To oldiedaddyHello! Haven't see you for a long time. My work is busy, I also haven't play MSTS for a long time. And my Acebcomp haven't updated for several months.I have seen in the TSUtil document it have such ability. You just confirmed it. That's a good news. But most part of the document still haven't translated. Can you translate that part we need, I think is:13) Modify track-database "*.tdb"/"*.rdb" and delete gapsjust command line parameter part is enough, thanks!
BTW. Although I haven't updated my Acebcomp. I still want know does you have problem on it? (language). If I have time, I want add a detect texture is really alpha or trans feature and a thresold for that, for trans texture can do DXT compress. But I don't know when I can get free time MSTS ACE Batch Compressor Beta 3
(additional download need, see readme,520kb)

Hello wdq4587,I have translated both the function you will use (13) and the function i think you should use. (5)
Additionally i added an option to the documentation, that was previously hidden.More error-messages are translated, too.So, just download 'TSUtil' again.regards
