The eleventh scenery patch is now released with the following changes:

Editors

• Fixed problem with route editor map view becoming unresponsive after adding a new chain but cancelling immediately
  
• Fixed possible crash in route editor when left-clicking on things in the map view
  
• Fixed crash in route editor when changing a node's model source to cutout speed limits while model ID is blank
  
• Fixed route editor to update map view after removing things like nodes
  
• Fixed possible broken animations when manually placing multiple instances of the same animated model
  
• Removed option to merge a looping track into itself in route editor because it would crash
  
• Disabled compression when saving data to files in order to make the process more robust
  
• Changed file writing to automatically save a .backup copy of the previous file
  

Editor side panel

• Fixed possible crash when selecting an option from the editor side panel
  
• Fixed problem with side panel tree not responding correctly to mouse button clicks until after clicking at least once on the map view
  
• Fixed problem with random tree item being highlighted after selecting an option from a list in the side panel
  
• Fixed editor side panel to scroll back to the correct position after selecting an option
  
• Fixed bug where a new child node added via the side panel would not appear correctly
  
• Renamed side panel bottom edge "Add" button to "OK" since "Add" doesn't make sense in some contexts
  

Signalling

• Fixed possible crash in signaller AI
  
• Fixed signaller AI to not clear a signal if the signal section overlaps an earlier cleared section (which might lead to conflicting route setting at junctions in looping tracks)
  
• Added option to create a fixed distant (one that always shows "caution")
  
• Added option to link a distant to the next signal only, effectively creating a repeater
  
• Added "SigRoutes" to the route editor side panel when the properties of a signal are opened. These represent the possible paths from that signal onwards to other signals or track sections/ends that can be cleared
  
• Added signal option to disable the automatic update of sigroutes
  

Custom signal models

• Added option to hide the default models of signals and distants
  
• Added function to create the equivalent default model of a signal or distant as plain editable nodes and animations
  
• Added entity ID field to node animation data for linking the animation variables to a particular object like a signal or a distant
  
• Changed distant and signal descriptions to include the entity ID in the editor side panel
  
• Added GWR siding arm model to the built-in library
  

Miscellaneous

• Fixed possible crash when loading a route
  
• Fixed possible crash when generating LODs
  
• Fixed crash when loading a packed model that has invalid file path characters in its ID
  
• Fixed possible crash when loading a packed model with high number of vertices
  
• Fixed cutout speed limit signs: reshaped '6', rescaled '7' and restored old thinner and more realistic arrows
  
• Reduced memory consumption of the terrain system
  
• Added low memory notification

What's next?

The next major update will be the gameplay update (more on that later), and smaller patches as required.
