Resurrect 17 year old HXT file?


Recommended Posts

While rummaging through an old miscellaneous folder I found a plug-in from 2005 that, if I remember correctly, simultaneously changes the crossing bias at all cp's around a circular spline. It could be a nice time saver. I tried dropping it into my HXT folder but it didn't show up as a plug-in or wizard. Is there some way to "re-compile" it for v19p?

That is something I've wished for for a long time.

No, there isn't an easy re-fit for that.

The source code would be needed and since that isn't in A:M already that must have been a third party plugin by someone. Do you know who made it?

 

Incidentally, @Rodney and i have been learning C++ and we're about try to figure out how to write a plugin. That sounds like it might be a plausible early project.

I have a vague memory that the programmer's name came up when you opened the plugin. Can you still install v13 (2005 "Sorserez" disk) and run the hxt?

My hat's off to the both of you. The last time I coded anything in C was in the last century and my brain would always hurt after someone tried to make me understand the concept of a pointer to an array of pointers.

The CD based versions can possibly still be run with this work-around. I've only tried it on Windows 7...

From your 2016 reference;

Since all my hardware runs Windows 10, I've hit a wall.

I recall someone on this forum getting windows 10 to work but I can't find the post
