Ground Texturing Assistance Required Please

[ex-railwayman]

Dear Trainzers, I would like some help please, in altering the ground texture on a Desert Route layout. I wish to change the current ground texture ( Chaparel 3cm Ground ) to Desert Dirt. I have gone into the config.txt and amended the asset kuid numbers accordingly, saved and commited, but when I went back into Surveyor, all I have now are blank baseboards !! What have I done wrong, or what else should I have done please ??

Many thanks in anticipation. ex-railwayman.

Dear Ex-

Speaking only for TRS2004 here, it's undoubtedly different in '06.

Changing the kuid-table in the map's config file doesn't achieve what you want. Map info is locked up in one of the other (.trk .gnd .obs) files and you can't access it directly. The config file just reflects what's in those files.

If you're using '04, the way to swap one texture for another is via Trainzobjectz. On its Maps page, get it to list your map's dependencies, highlight the texture you want to replace, right-click it, then look for "replace item in map.." in the pop-up menu.

It will replace all instances of the texture with another one you select (even if it says "1 item replaced").

TrainzMap may do something similar in '06, I'm not sure though.

Hi, Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using TRS 2006, however, thank you for your help Dino, I will have a look at it again from a different angle and see if I can achieve anything another way.
