Altering "Easter Egg"?

[NJCurmudgeon]

It's not a big secret these days that Trainz has a couple hotkey command combos that do fun things. (Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7wZGXxWlm4) Pressing ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + P together in Surveyor randomly generates a landscape with grass textures and trees and hills until you hit Esc.

This is pretty handy, but I was wondering if there is a way of changing and specifying what textures and trees it uses? My really big layout is using seasonal textures and trees, so I can easily create sessions with different seasonal weather. It would be awesome to be able to use this trick to fill in some of the countryside areas but I would want it to only use the seasonal textures and trees.

Does anyone know how this could be done? Seems like it would be a huge time-saver! Thanks!

You could use the replace asset tool it works with both textures and speed trees.

When I pressed ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + P together in Surveyor, all it did was to place grass all over the route. No mountains or trees.

Well, I have to amend my post...when I used the function in Trainz 2012, I found that it uses seasonal trees! I was thinking of 2009. So that's no longer an issue. But what's still a problem is they don't use seasonal textures. So when I changed the snow line, the trees turned white, but not the ground. Using the replace assets tool should take care of that, though, as Snowhill suggests.

Keith: Hold the keys down a little longer. If you just do a quick press, it just gives you the grass. If you hold them down a second or two longer, the trees and hills start. Once they start, you can stop holding the keys down and then hit Esc to stop the process when you want to.

Check out the YouTube video I posted the link for. It tells you how to do that as well as other stuff.

You're very welcome!

By the way, I was able to swap out the textures and it looks like it worked well. This will save time when I want to create large rural spaces! Thanks all!
