Terrain Builder Road Tools Broken
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

Since 1.26 Road Tool has not been playing nice, and remains that way in 1.27

Noticeable issues:

  • Terrain Builder hangs for like 2 minutes after modifying road types. (Still the case with 1.27)
  • New roads do not appear in Buldozer when laying them out in Terrain Builder Even if already used on map. (Restart Required) (Still the case with 1.27)
  • When a road is deleted from TerrainBuilder it still hands around in Buldozer. (Looks like it's not syncing?) (Still the case with 1.27)
  • Adding new road parts to a road type now resets the directory back to P:/ instead of opening to last folder (annoying when setting up and editing) (No longer a problem👌)
  • Error Pop-up appears when creating a new road with any road type and any starting road part. //(Pic 1) (Surpressed or Fixed?)
  • Error Pop-up begins to appear at every edit on pre-existing and new roads and no updates are sent to buldozer.. (restart needed again))
  • Error Pop-up appears a lot... when editing road parts in a road type. Maybe the amount of pop-ups is the same amount of pre-existing roads segments which use the parts being replaced? 30 pop ups for 30 roads? (Ignore x 30 works again here))

Additional Information

So it looks like the relationship between road tool and buldozer is broken. It use to be very smooth and seamless with changes being seen in buldozer. Only having to restart when adding a p3d to the road tool that hadn't already been loaded by buldozer.
Previously as long as the road part was already on the map you could, edit, make new, replace (with already loaded) and have it seen consistently with buldozer, maybe having to double click a road in terrain builder and clicking okay to update it in buldozer.

But now changes in terrain builder are followed by the picture pop-up and although the road lays on the map it's not updating in buldozer requiring constant restarts.

The road I mentioned I deleted.. I had remade the road and restarted Buldozer but the deleted road is still there... restarting terrain builder resolved this.

Sadly the Terrain Builder reverting has no resolved the road tool issues. Although the error is gone - Changes to roads do not update in Buldozer requiring restarts after changes.

Unable to add any new road to my map since last update with the "new terrain builder":

After last screenshort TE closes/crashed.

...may we have the old working one back, please, again?

Dont understand why TerrainBuilder was now ReReleased without fixing this bug from Oct 18 2024 - since it was also an issue why this "new" version was pulled back some days ago?!?!

Just wanted to update with you that in 1.27 Road Tools is still not working between Terrain Builder/Buldozer... Having to restart BD still to see updates.

Can approve: Same here.

I place roads in TB with BD open, but they dont get updated. So you dont see in BD what you are currently building.

BD has to be restarted every time you want to see your changes.

Very annoying.
