Indentifying age of a file/files

Unread postby NDORFN » Wed Nov 14, 2012 6:32 pm

So it's time to get back into my old route. I recently got my gaming comp back from repair (took them 4 months!) and I went to restore a backup of my route from my external HD but I have 20 different backups from different stages of development and the files/folders all have the same creation date on them! I don't know why this has happened but unfortunately all the backup names are only numbered not dated by myself. Anyone got any idea how I can identify which is the newest one without going through and installing them one-by-one?

Are the dates different on the tracks.bin or routeproperties.xml? Or other files in the scenery folder? If so go with the newest ones from those files. If not you might have to try to compare sizes of files, biggest ones being newest... try to establish the latest build from that. Good luck. Hate to see good work going to waste or having to redo something.

Cheers, I'll take your advice and do it by process of elimination.

I found the latest backup. Everything is there. Back in business... except for one thing. The superevelation isn't showing !*don-know!* The whole route was laid painstakingly with accurate, smooth superelevation and even the roads at level crossings are graded to match exactly. The track rules are there and when I select track the SE box is ticked. Any ideas?

Fixed it. I'm an idiot (don't ask).
