Hog Utility & Tiger Lines

[MATT7c5]

I downloaded a terrain only file for the Boston Blue Line transit route. It says that this was generated with the Hog utility and has Tiger lines overlaid and that i will need the Hog textures installed to see the tiger lines in Surveyor. My question is where do i find the required items i need to see everything on the screen.

Question on Color Codes meanings?

A ques if I may,

You indicated 2 color for the Hog textures for download, there are 70 something of them, do we not use all of them, and is there a Color Code for our Maps, that indicates what color means what on the Dem Maps we use for Trainz...?

If you could point me in the direction.

I said download hog00 to hog70. That's 71 files
Off hand as never used Tiger Lines I couldn't say, however there was list somewhere, was one I think on the Microdem Trainz tutorial site which has now closed.

My apologies Sir.

It would sure help if I read what you said correctly..........Egads.......I'll head back over there and grab the rest I missed.

Thanks for the help again.

In my own archives, I have several .zip files for various versions of HOG from 1.00 up to 1.18. I think I got them from trainzluvr.com originally.

Versions 1.00 and 1.11 contained a 1-page manual (manual.html) which covers how to use HOG with MicroDEM, and how to auto-paint the Trainz terrain generated. It doesn't say much about the color coding however.

Internet search revealed a reference to a page of HOG instructions which include info on color codes for the TIGER lines. The bad news is that it's all in Czech, but hopefully Google Translation will help. For example, I quickly learned that "silnice" = road and "voda" = water.

I downloaded the HOG textures from DS and when i open the terrain only file for the Boston Blue Line transit route that i had previously downloaded, i still have nothing showing up on the screen. Suggestions?
