... topic: 3337 How to defeat the internet check in Templot2 posted: 3 Oct 2018 14:24 from: Martin Wynne I was stopped in my tracks this week by this: http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f =5 &t =6066 and I've been thinking about the future of Templot. There is clearly no point in the internet check on start-up, it has failed. It will be removed in the next program update. In the meantime it can be defeated on the current version of Templot2 as follows: 1. on the first splash screen click the small TM trade mark symbol before you click anything else. 2. the colour dialog will appear. Set red=10, green=20, blue=30, click OK. 3. click GO in the usual way. 2_030905_020000000.png Martin. posted: 3 Oct 2018 16:18 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I have mixed feelings about this post, but mostly sadness.

I've attached a photo (hopefully) with a few measurements penciled in, hope that helps. In the meantime i'll have a read of the article. Ray. Attachment: attach_2744_3326_Marcway_3way.jpg 554 posted: 11 Sep 2018 23:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, Thanks for the photo. To make an exact copy I would need something more precise, such as an actual scan of the Marcway tandem. p.s. I note that it has a check rail missing. Also a vee nose hanging in fresh air, and strangely narrow spindly timbering. I have created this 0-MF tandem which I think may be fairly close. ...
... , and I have therefore deleted the OpenTemplot repository from SourceForge. It could be re-instated, but not by me -- I've had my fill of trying to make head or tail of how such repositories work. Against my better judgment I installed two plug-ins to Windows Explorer for the purpose, but still got nothing but error messages when I tried to access it. Why can't it all be done via a browser? -- I can edit the entire Templot web server that way in Firefox. In the meantime there is Templot2 which cannot be open-sourced in its entirety, and which I shall continue to develop while that remains the case and some functionality remains missing from the open-source version. cheers, Martin. posted: 20 Oct 2019 02:42 from: Graeme Martin Wynne wrote: Welcome to Templot Club.

... on paper templates? 3. So far I have fully defined only the REA S1 (3 -screw) chairs. But it would now be possible to create plain track bases using them, to any length, curved or straight, in any scale or gauge. Should I be looking to release a program update in the shorter term allowing only that much? So that folks can experiment with 3D printing from Templot files? It might be some time before I can get all the special chairs defined for turnouts. In the meantime it would be useful to have some feedback from users about the files and any tweaks needed. The downside of that is that word will go round the web forums that Templot "can only do plain track", an idea which will then be difficult to shift. It is remarkable the way that so many folks ALWAYS get the wrong end of a stick. It's no wonder that "fake news" is so effective. Thoughts welcome. cheers, Martin. posted: 3 Jan 2019 19:48 from: Trevor ...

It's because I haven't written that page yet -- along with most of the other new Templot Companion pages. I'm sorry about that.

And in Internet Explorer. The very same code running in Firefox produces the expected line formatting; in Chrome requires two blank lines to deliver one blank line; and in IE delivers two blank lines when only one is entered. It's all the same code. I will see what I can do, but in the meantime: 1. Try using the Quick Reply box at the bottom of every topic page. You can increase the area by dragging the corner grip. Quotes, formatted text and image URLs can be inserted using the usual BBcodes in square brackets. or 2. Change to Firefox. You don't have to use it for everything if you don't want to.

... 2015 17:03 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the file Chris. You have found two bugs. 1. make branch track does not ensure both rails are generated for the plain track if one or both of the stock rails is being omitted from the original turnout. Likewise for make split, although it's moot whether that is a bug. 2. if the original turnout is a gaunt turnout, make branch track corrupts the track gauge. I will get these bugs fixed. Many thanks for reporting them. In the meantime, if you insert a turnout in the transition template, change it from a gaunt turnout to a normal one, and then convert back to plain track, all should be well. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Jan 2015 11:32 from: Chris Copplestone Hi Martin, thanks for the tip regards Chris Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... running edge. The foot line is therefore not smooth. There are also several designs of FB switch rail, some over-riding the foot so as not to need a cut-out in the stock rail. We shall get there in the end, but I can't give any time scale, sorry. There are other matters more urgent, such as the irregular diamonds, gaunt turnouts, and mouse-adjustable check rails. That's without thinking about the Sketchboard. And I'm still working on saving Preferences files. In the meantime there is a workaround which gets you half way to what you want. You can put a duplicate template under each one, with its rail "width" set to a dummy dimension to give the outer rail foot line. This gives you one of the foot lines, to which the rail can be aligned. See the template below this. Assuming your rails are vertical (for soldered copper-clad), measure the rail head width and the foot width. Add them together and divide by 2. This gives ...

... you have probably noticed, the control template is now saved between sessions by being temporarily "tacked on" to the .box file, so to speak. This seemed an essential requirement for the Quick-mode way of working, but in fact it proved quite tricky to implement. There is obviously a bug in there somewhere. regards, Martin. posted: 19 May 2011 16:00 from: Martin Wynne I have now fixed this. I won't immediately post a new version just for this one change, so in the meantime on Build 2759 please take care not to clear all templates while the control template is invalidated (showing as a red Z symbol).

I had a slightly more disturbing problem in the meantime when my main computer randomly and utterly died! Well, the fans went round... I realise that TDV talking to your servers is for all the right reasons, but can you please assure us that this will only ever be for development versions? I have occasionally used Templot on my laptop where no internet connection is available.

... the image simply disappears, without error, and reappears when zooming back out. My feeling is that this is a hardware fault in the nVidia graphics chips. A register overflow of some sort. Only hardware can pull the processor reset line low. This would explain why it can't be fixed by software alone, such as by changing the driver. I shall have to have a think about what to do about this. I don't want to make any changes which would degrade Templot's capabilities for users of ATI graphics. In the meantime there are a couple of workarounds for nVidia users: 1. You can limit the maximum zoom-in level by going to main> program panel and changing the setting at program> max explode (zoom-in) menu item. Please read the help notes. The pre-set is 15mm. Increase it as necessary for the image you are using, to match the scale size of two pixels or more. (In the next Pug I have changed the pre-set to 10mm. You can go down ...

... clearly not related to the OS, and they are easily restored. The problem you reported of the system locking up is much more serious to me, as such things are not supposed to happen. It may or may not be related to Wine/Windows issues, or it may just be that something else was happening on your computer at the same time, such as an automatic update of your anti-virus. If it is repeatable or happens again, please start a separate topic to take it further. In the meantime, back to building your turnouts... regards, Martin. posted: 2 Feb 2011 17:24 from: BeamEnds Hi Martin, luckily for us Linux users system updates are 100% transparent, and there is no requirement for virus checking so that can be ruled out. If anything else occurs I'll let you know, but I'm quite happy to be aware of the problem and take it as a rather extended error message! As you say, back to making track....

One VERY big worry has to be the diamonds/ slips on very tight curves and with fixed 1:7 elbows. I would be really worried about these even in P4 and in 00 the problem is much worse because of the over-wide flange ways. ...
... for the scenic section so it would be really useful for that. posted: 4 Nov 2010 21:16 from: JFS Hi Richard, You can't automatically make a diamond like like this in Templot as it is "irregular"- that is the two roads are of differing radii. Richard has a development in hand to create such daimonds at the touch of a mouse button, but we so far can't pursuade him to release it to his demanding public. I hope your pressing him will tip the balance! In the meantime, it is either draw by hand or create from partial templates. Best Regards, Howard. posted: 4 Nov 2010 21:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, That's an "irregular" diamond which isn't currently supported as native templates. However, Richard T kindly posted a tutorial showing how to create one from partial templates: topic 1113- message 6672 regards, Martin.

... is Templot capable of producing a gauntleted junction? I was discussing the possibility of said junction with a friend the other evening, using Wymondham Junction as an example. Ian posted: 22 Sep 2010 21:15 from: Martin Wynne Ian Allen wrote: is Templot capable of producing a gauntleted junction? I was discussing the possibility of said junction with a friend the other evening, using Wymondham Junction as an example. Hi Ian, Welcome to Templot Club. Gaunt turnouts will be available in a future upgrade: 2_191018_320000000.png In the meantime gauntletted track can be created using partial templates. Of course Wymondham Junction also requires a gauntletting switch, which would have to be done as partial templates also. For those who are wondering, at Wymondham Junction the junction turnout consisted of a switch and a crossing separated by a long length of gauntletted track. This was done to bring the switch within the 350yd rodding limit from the signal box. There is a picture on one of the forums, but at present I can't find it. regards, Martin. posted: ...

... foot width. My question is... is there a way of doing this on all templates at once, say using a duplicate group? My layout plan consists of nearly 1500 templates, a huge number of them partials and the prospect of going through the box list, duplicating and altering them all one by one is not appealling! Regards Alan McMillan posted: 4 Aug 2010 11:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, I will add this to the modify on rebuild options in the next pug. In the meantime, send me your box file or post it here, and I will convert it for you. What rail width dimension do you want it changed to? It's important to measure your actual model rail, and not rely on prototype info. Bear in mind that only the outer edge can be changed to match the rail foot, the gauge face must remain on the rail head. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Aug 2010 11:54 from: Alan McMillan Thank you very much for your generous offer Martin, ...
... and just shortly after WW2, when subtle changes were made to the layout, culminated in the usual plans c1950, we see in books today. Whilst at BCL I took more than a hundred photographs of these plans and many other documents of interest. After some six weeks, and much negotiation, since my visit to BCL, I have finally managed to get them to copy the 1921 plan, and was told only Friday, that the copy has been posted and should be with me in a few days. In the meantime, I started to try and scale from the photo's I took of the plan, but am not 100% happy about accuracy due to many factors. However, the photo's have allowed me to view some of the problems I am facing, so I have been practicing in TEMPLOT trying to produce the right templates. The attached photo shows one of those problem areas on the plan, the major concern here is the 4 way split just below the diamond crossing (or single slip), which is made up of three ...
... had a go. So far no joy. What happens is that when any topics are deleted, the system loses track of which ones have been read. I recently had to delete some spam topics*, which is probably the reason for this happening now. The good news is that the system resets itself when the missing topics fall out of the "Recent Topics" scope. That's currently set for 14 days, so at the end of that time all should be back to normal. Sorry about any inconvenience in the meantime. You may want to set up your "Emailed Messages" so that you get all new postings that way and don't miss any. Fortunately it is very rarely that topics have to be deleted. *The system is well protected against spam robots, but there is no way on earth to prevent human spammers from registering as members.

There is a virus in circulation which exploits a critical flaw in Adobe Reader by means of infected PDF files. Adobe say they will be releasing a fix on 12th January, but in the meantime it is advisable to disable Javascript in Adobe Reader -- how to do that and more details at: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa09-07.html This is especially important for anyone with their own web site, because this method is being used to deliver the Gumblar virus -- which steals your FTP password and then accesses your web site and infects your web pages with malicious code. It would be a good idea to change your FTP password now if you haven't changed it recently. ...
