This application focuses on two different types of OMSI user:

- regular drivers who are experiencing problems with missing objects/splines when loading maps, or those who want to uninstall a map and get rid of unnecessary content. This tool will provide you the exact objects/splines you are missing, making your task of asking support much more efficient.
- map designers who are creating medium to complex maps which use a considerable variety of scenery objects and splines. It will provide information about which objects/splines your map is using. It's natural sometimes to forget to include important object or spline packages within our map files, thus having to release additional patches to fix these missing files issues. This will hopefully decrease these occurrences. The application is very simple to use. It’s meant to be simple and effective. All the information is directly extracted from the tile (.map) files.

Functionalities:

• (NEW IN 2.0) Provides information about which Scenery Objects and Splines you are missing in order to run a specific map. By analyzing a map, the application will compare your contents to the map structure, and it will check which of them you don’t have in your OMSI folder.
  
• Provides summarized information about the objects and splines used by your map (amount of objects and splines)
  
• Provides analytical information about the objects and splines used by your map (exhaustive file and folder list, so you can always keep track accurately of which content folders your map is using)
  
• Provides an extra function to automatically copy used objects and splines to another folder

It includes a quick guide with general information and usage instructions. Read it.

Thanks mate, glad to be of help!

Thiago, you're a hero!!!

With the releasedate of Vlietburg in sight i had some worries about making a good installer, this wonderful tool will help for sure to make that task easier.

[Thiago]

Good to know mate, thanks!
I tested the copy routine several times and it's running nice, so I'm changing the 'RC1' to 1.0, but no re download is needed.

What a great idea

[JayKae]

Brilliant mate !

[Thiago]

Thank you mateys
I've just fixed a small issue that was preventing people to select maps when they have OMSI installed in a partition different than 'C:'. It has been fixed.

Thanks Thiago, this helps me check maps recently installed where I have a problem to identify where the issue is. Brilliant work

[Thiago]

You can place it anywhere.
Hm, not sure what can I suggest, as I didn't get this error during my tests on Windows XP. Are you trying to copy the files to a folder located inside a removable device such as a pen drive or a normal HDD folder? Are you using an administrator account?
Try to 'Run as Administrator'.

Let me know if it doesn't work, I'll try to reproduce this issue here with some other maps.

Thanks mate

That error definitely looks a 'permission based' error on the required file, so if not UAC (Win 7 Admin) then try disabling your anti-virus software before running the program.

I'll try to take a look tonight

[Thiago]

Very strange. It worked fine on my Windows XP but it failed when using my father's computer with XP. But the code seems to be ok, as it's working fine on Vista/7/and my XP. Anyway, I will try to bundle an alternative copy procedure (using the Command Prompt) for Friday's release, this alternative might work fine, even though it's not so 'beautiful'.

Thanks for reporting Steve

[Thiago]

My workload really prevented me to update the version today, so I'll have to postpone it for some days, although I suppose it will be here until Tuesday or Wednesday. I still need to perform the final tests, write the updated documentation etc., so I prefer to wait some days than releasing something that may have some tiny issues.

Sorry guys.

Version 2.0 Release Candidate is now released.
Change log and readme provide the necessary information about what has been changed.

This just gets better and better ........ one of the bet utilities ever released for OMSI! ........ I used it today to check my "Tatra Regional Expanded" map before release, and found I'd missed a file......... lifesaver!

Thanks mate
