Rule The Rail Layout Viewer

[Anonymous]

Hi to all,

I´ve found out to launch RTR via layoutviewer.

These launch button bite me and i did´nt see it. Very stable 😆

Hi Rule The Rail friends,

The Rule The Rail Layout Viewer is available for free download: http://www.wleopold.ch/rtr/rtrlayoutviewerdl.html” class=”bbcode_url”>http://www.wleopold.ch/rtr/rtrlayoutviewerdl.html! Thanks for the inputs during the development. I hope I havn’t made any mistakes when creating the final installation files. If there are any problems or if you have suggestions for improvements, just tell it here. Of course you can also say if you’re just satisfied with the tool. 😆

A special Thank You goes to Jürgen and Peter, who made the effort to fully test the Layout Viewer.

I hope the tool will be useful for you and wish you much fun with it.

Best regards,

Willi

Hi Willi

I just downloaded your layout viewer and gave it a quick spin. It is an excellent addition to the RTR program.

Thanks for creating it and sharing it

Hi Willi,

I also like the layout viewer. Have you talked to Brainbom as to whether the selected layout could be passed to RtR as a startup parameter?

Hello Willi,

Thanks very much for your excellent Layout Viewer; it is a very helpful piece of software.

I only have a minor problem with it:

When I try to start RtR via the viewer I get the screen for choosing the screen resolution; when I click OK the screen went black for some seconds and then I get a blue screen. RtR doesnot startup!

Any idea what can be wrong?

I am using an AMD Sempron 1,5GHz,Windows XP Home + SP2, 512MB RAM, NVidia Geforce 6800 32MB RAM.

Best Regards,

Kees

Hi Chris,

I´d also thinked aout these parameters. The viewer has to set 3 parameters,they are layout,screenresolution and start loading environmet immidately. May be this feature will come in the next version.

Hi Kees,

I´d the same problem with out the bluescreen,i´d use the regedit and searched for the RTR entry and opened this. i´d look for time = 1000 and entered it to 3000. Now it´s running perfect. eg.:1 second for time out is not enoth. And see for free resources in Windows have to bee over 65% free. ❗ ❗

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

I looked in the register for RtR and found in HKey_Local_MachineBrainbombersRule the Rail! not a single entry, so also not “time”. Can you be more specific where to find this entry?

Thaks in advance.

Regards,

Kees

Hi kees,

Did you see for the Rule the Rail Layout Viewer?

That searchword what i give was probally too narrow for search for Time out.

The path in registry was right. You can set the value for time out manually

Great Viewer now I don’t need to load tracks to remember what thay are.

Thanks Dave

Hi Peter,

As you know I don’t have this problem but you wrote me about that by email and k.zeehuisen has the same problem. I searched my registry for “rtrlayoutviewer” and for “Layout Viewer”. With both searches I found a lot of entries but nowhwere “time” or “timeout”. Could you tell us more exactly where this entry can be found, please.

I still don’t understand, do you set the timeout to 3000 ms for Rule the Rail or for Layout Viewer? If for Layout Viewer then I should be able to change something in the program, although I can’t test it as it works anyway on my PC.

Kind regards,

Willi

P.S. That would be really great, if BrainBombers could make run RTR with starting parameters.

Hi Willi,

You have an Intel based computer,and developed the viewer on Intel.

That machine will have the right interrupt for send the viewer go sleeping until starts RTR. But AMD will skip this and will have problems with it. (runs too direct) Defaultly AMD gives only 500 ms and is not in registry. That the user have to do manually,add the line with Time out = xxxx (xxx) for time in ms.

The Viewer is still a great tool for sarching layouts. Thanx Willi to developed this

Hi Peter,

Can you please explain more precise how and where we have to add the line for Time Out?

As Willi explained in his post there is at this moment no such declaration.

Thanks and regards,

Kees

Hi kees

If you work with Regedit and see the entries from the layout viewer

then you may click in the right window with RMB and choose NEW->DWORD value. You may enter Delaykillprocess = 3000 or Timeoutkillprocess = 3000

Decimal. But do it carefully.

Hi Peter,

As I wrote before, there are many entries for Layout Viewer. Where exactly has that to be done? Couldn’t you post here exactly what you have done where? As you write, you have to be careful fumbling around in the registry. I’m afraid I can do nothing with the program itself so nobody has to go to the registry?

Best regards,

Willi

Hi kees,

Sorry i´d take the stick on a wrong end. it was not the viewer,it was the shell. My shell was too fast for it,and now i setted the timeout for shell and not for the viewer.

I hope that helps to run it stable on your machine.
