Converting BVE2/4 routes to openBVE

There are loads of old BVE routes around and some don’t have a great compatibility with openBVE. 

For example, some objects will disappear when you change the camera angle in exterior view. It’s got nothing to do with the objects as I added an openBVE object to a BVE4 route and it met with the same outcome. I feel like it might have something to do with the BVE4 coding


So my question is this: is it possible to make BVE2/4 routes work properly in openBVE; no disappearing objects and ats problems. The code doesn’t seem that much different than that of an openBVE Route so what am I missing?

It's described in the developer documentation. Off the top of my head: It has to do with how memory is managed. The route developer can have the program remove or keep objects after passing them. Generally the old routes are not for exterior view or changed view angles. Just stay in the cab and drive along ;-)

Thanks Quork but I don’t really know how to change the options and to turn it off. It doesn’t really explain it too well in the developer documentation

Code:

Options.ObjectVisibility 1

Insert this at the start of the route, and it'll stop the objects disappearing.
Bear in mind that some routes use this as an animation trick, hence why it's not on by default.

Thanks Chris

Everything works now
