I Give Up !!! What is HOG Texture ???

[manjoe]

Howdy.....I searched the forum on the word TEXTURES. I keep seeing references to HOG TEXTURES. My eye-balls are getting tired from reading all of the many posts on textures, and cant find one that specifically describes a hog texture. There are no hits on the word HOG by itself. Just what exactly is a hog texture ???:confused:

A texture used by the HOG program, available from http://trainz.luvr.net/ - they are used when creating a route using this program, however they are not required to run the route (although they may show up as missing dependencies)

Thank you Jivebunny.....Now all I have to do do is figure out what this description from TrainzLuvr means:( .....A command line utility to create Trainz .gnd files out of .tga images. Designed to quickly import multi-board DEM data into Trainz......

I think I am in way over my head !!!!!:hehe: GND files, TGA images, and DEM data. I think I will just try to understand plain ole everyday TEXTURES !!!

Thanks for the assistance. It is well appreciated. I dont mind the learning curve, but this is getting ridiculous!!:confused:

At least I found the TrainzLuvr tutorial on HOG TEXTURES. I am now laboriously reading through it. Whew!!!

Unless you actually want to use a DEM or create one you will not really need them. There are about 6-7 main ones and they are used to represent different things on a DEM create file. There are quite a few DEM files (mainly for the US) created by fishlipsatwork kuid 59012 on the DLS.

You can download these and then create your own layout. Each colour means different things;

Red = Roads, Big line = big road, small line = small road
Blue = Rivers, Shorelines
Black = Political Boundaries, (counties etc.)
Teal = Rail lines
Light green = Small streams

If you need any help post again, I have all the textures and can email them to you, this may be easier then getting them off TrainzLuvr. Though it sounds like you may already have them.
