SHEDINGTON Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Good point RobI have only downloaded once but I don't know it it's the same as everyone else's Is there better or 'fixed' programmes out there? Can we tell the difference between them ie by date maybe if they are the same version number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Sheddington: perhaps you missed our earlier post. If you hover your mouse over the 1.56 box at the bottom of the RailMaster window you will see the revision number for the current version. You will also see it in the RailMaster log file.

mal Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes I appreciate that but in my case I would rather to minimise the amount of words that need to be recognised and that is why I thought being able to just use the function number would be good and with time they will be committed to memory like all my locos are against their decoder number. Thanks again Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nice not to be alone even though would be nice not to have issue but with such a complex system inevitable I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You must have a fantastic memory then, mal. I'm losing it with age but could never remember all the functions for my sound locos, going to 20 odd in some cases, without looking them up.

HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You can operate functions both ways, by description (although you have to be careful about how you describe functions) and by just saying "Function" and any number between 1 and 25.If you happen to say an invalid function RailMaster will tell you, literally, through your headphones.

mal Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks for doing the function update. I have had a session tonight after downloading latest version and did get fifteen minute period when I had things working as intended. . Now worked out that functions on some engines are now plus 1 due to No F0. Very impressive but unfortunately to achieve that I had to close and open software about five times. Locked up twice and on other occasions all voice commands correct on dialogue box but point locos etc not responding or very delayed. Does not appear to be voice recognition but command getting to whatever. Will keep trying. One if my problems is I wear hearing aids so Head set has to adjusted yo sit over microphone on top of aids If I wish to hear bleeps and alike. Thankfully does not effect the microphone and speech recognition. Keep up the good work. Not sure how I overcome my issues of how it is working intermittently. Thanks Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I only have three sound locos with about 5 or so commands so not too difficulty. Like all these things we have different needs and nice that RM are trying to get a nice balance to help us all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes, I know, mal. Some people would say I was just showing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 HRMSWow, that was quick :-). Downloaded and installed. Almost works here. When I say 'Function One' RM replies 'Function not supported'. Nevermind, 'Sound on' now works. F2 and F3 work properly, F4 (not used) and F5,. F6 and F7, F8 and F9,are transposed, F10 works correctly F11 - F19 are moved up by one - F19 becomes F20 (not used). So far I have seen no ill-effects elsewhere. iI would rate this as close but no cigar. I think it would be nicer and more convenient if the Function labels could be used, but it is working, and we are making progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 @HRMSI must admit I am with RAF96 on the subject of software configuration control but the ability to display the version number is most welcome.I currently have version 4 loaded but without downloading again I have no way of knowing if this is the latest version. Would it be possible for yourselves to add a thread (locked so that it stays at the top) to advise us what the latest version is that has been released.

HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We will be adding a thread of revisions with the next minor update, however we are unable to lock it so we would ask users not to post to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrook62 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi Dodgefound it ureka you know on railmaster locomotives list if you edit one of your loco's you see at the bottom voice control command and I listed that one as 0-6-0 and save it and away it went forward speed 05 no prblem then I tried the 7f which the coumputer did not like the F so same voice control command named it black7 and woof of it went so now going though all my locos and naming them quite simple in that box and off they go I am so chuff about this as i was getting a little down hearted about the whole thing and i just sp eak normal but a bit slower and now have 6 locos all running to wireless commands no longer tie to sitting at the computer screen now walk up and down my 12 foot of railway tell everything what to do.bye god that deserves a pint.

HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Just to add to that, you should try using words for numbers and spaces, e.g. "black7" will work much better as "black seven".If you wanted to refer to an 0-6-0 you should enter it as "O six O", that is letter O not zero.

AncientMariner Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 HRMSWhoops!!!! spoke too soon - SPEED NN commands no longer work here either. I over-rated: close but definitely NO cigar :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They do work. You need to download the latest setup file from www.powerpos.com/rail-master/rm_setup.exe (revision 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 See my earlier post - I'm on rev 5 - the Function commands do sort of work, but sorry, the SPEED NN command doesn't work here since downloading and installing Rev 5. The Function label commands are recognized but are still non-op here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Have you downloaded within the last three hours or so? They definitely work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 HRMS, would be good for clarity if you keep mentioning revision number when suggesting downloading the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Downloaded at 2107. I'll do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Dowlnloaded and installed at 2337. Function numbers work but are mixed up as reported earlier. Function labels are mostly recognised by the speech engine but all are non-op in RM here. Speed nn is now working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We don't understand what you mean by the function numbers are mixed up. They follow the sequence of entry in the functions list within the locos database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 As I reported earlier:"When I say 'Function One' RM replies 'Function not supported'. Nevermind, 'Sound on' now works. F2 and F3 work properly, F4 (not used) and F5,. F6 and F7, F8 and F9,are transposed, F10 works correctly F11 - F19 are moved up by one - F19 becomes F20 (not used)."To make that clearer, the sound which should be controlled by, say F6, is in fact controlled by F7 etc. The sound which should be controlled by F11 is operated by F12, and so on up to F19, which is controlled by F20. F20 should be 'Function not supported'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Further enhancements have been made to the Voice Control aspect of RailMaster, particularly with regard to loco functions.
