Thanks, BLACKWATCH. I guess I wasn't very clear...:eek:
The in game autos are default to modern. I want to change them to the old antiques models.

I guess that if you follow the tips given on that thread you can do it. Not really complicated.

But if you need further assistance, just ask here. ;)

Okay. Let's do it.

1. Open CMP and look for built-in region United States,<kuid:-1:7804>

2. Select it and right click to find the CLONE contextual menu.

3. Clone it!

4. Select the cloned item and right click to open it in Windows Explorer.

5. You'll see just a config.txt file inside the folder. Open it.

6. Search for the username tag, and change it from "United States" into "My United States", for instance.

7. Search for the lines:

Code:
car0                            34
car1                            35
car2                            100638
car3                            28
car4                            30
car5                            100622
car6                            32
car7                            100526
car8                            37
car9                            38
car10                            100527
car11                            41
car12                            100624
and change them into:

Code:
car0                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car1                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car2                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car3                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car4                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car5                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car6                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car7                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car8                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car9                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car10                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car11                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car12                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>

* <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy> should be the kuid numbers of the cars you want to use. I recommend you to use the old vintage ones from good old whecsailor: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php?SearchCriteria=67261:&textsearchID=1

* You can use more more than 13 cars, of course.

Save and commit your new region asset.

8. Next time you start a new layout you can select your new region "My United States" from the drop-down list...

newregion.jpg

and roads will be jammed with whecsailor's oldies or the ones you had chosen.

9. Also, you can change the region of an existing route by selecting it on your CMP and right clicking to open its config.txt in Windows Explorer. Then, you should change its region tag to "My United States" and save. Commit it (Ctrl +M ).

And done.

Hope it helps and you finally achieve to do it.

If not, we'll go back to it again. I'm stubborn, and you? ;)

Hi Alberte and thegrindre, I have wanted to do this in a test layout of mine to see how it works with a bridge I am testing. So I have just run a little experiment.

Now I have cheated on this by using TRS2004 and TrainzObjectz (TO) to help me and to see what TO changes for me in my Config File. Also this is my second attempt to show what happened but apparently we are restricted in the number of characters in a reply, so this is a short reply.

Alberte, I had a look at your example as well and I am not sure why it is slightly different to what I found even after I imported my test file to 2006. I have also tested my test layout in 2006 and it works fine.

The difference I found is that not ONLY do you add the following (example) lines to you Config File but you need to add them to your kuid-table in the layout.

car0 <KUID:67261:29036>
car1 <KUID:67261:29305>
car2 <KUID:67261:29303>
car3 <KUID:67261:29261>
car4 <KUID:67261:29158>
car5 <KUID:67261:29074>
car6 <KUID:67261:29166>
car7 <KUID:67261:29402>
car8 <KUID:67261:29046>
car9 <KUID:67261:29008>
car10 <KUID:67261:29027>
car11 <KUID:67261:29014>
car12 <KUID:67261:29023>
car13 <KUID:67261:29069>
car14 <KUID:67261:29166>

As I said in my test layout these have also been added to my kuid-table like this;

kuid-table {
0 <kuid:-1:6270>
1 <kuid:2300:21009>
part removed to allow in this example
70 <kuid2:72076:1516:1>
71 <kuid2:72076:1517:1>
72 <kuid2:70791:670010:1>
73 <KUID:67261:29036>
74 <KUID:67261:29305>
75 <KUID:67261:29303>
76 <KUID:67261:29261>
77 <KUID:67261:29158>
78 <KUID:67261:29074>
79 <KUID:67261:29166>
80 <KUID:67261:29402>
81 <KUID:67261:29046>
82 <KUID:67261:29008>
83 <KUID:67261:29027>
84 <KUID:67261:29014>
85 <KUID:67261:29023>
86 <KUID:67261:29069>
}

You can see that the cars mentioned in the first part have now been added to the kuid-table in lines 73-86. This may be why thegrindre is having problems to get this to work.

I would start a test layout with a road on it that produces cars and then in CMP open the Config file and add the lines of the required cars as shown by Alberte but also add them to your kuid-table. Hopefully this will now work.

Let us know how you go and if you need any further explanation email me, as I said I am restricted here by the number of characters allowed in a reply/post.

P.S. Whecsailor has the best Vintage cars around ;)
 
OK, I just got up and have to go to work (graveyard shift):'( but will give this a try when I get home. Thanks guys...:)

Let's see. If you clone an asset with CMP, your kuid number should appear. Are we talking about TRS2006?

Kuid numbers for cars should be written manuallly by you.

and change them into:


Code:
car0                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car1                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car2                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car3                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car4                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car5                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car6                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car7                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car8                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car9                            <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car10                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car11                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>
car12                           <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy>

* <kuid:XXXXX:yyyyy> should be the kuid numbers of the cars you want to use. I recommend you to use the old vintage ones from good old whecsailor: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php...textsearchID=1

Try again. ;)
 
I'm showing you a copy and paste of my cloned "USA" config file as you instructed. Yes, 2006. That is all that is in it. That's it.:confused: (except the rest of the discription which I didn't copy and paste.)

Let's do it again!

Please step after step:

1. Search for <kuid:-1:7804> and clone it again.

2. Open it in Windows explorer and see if the config has your kuid number as mine does:

My United States, <kuid:86311:1896>

From the bright lights and bustling crowds of the American city, through sprawling suburbia, to cactus country layered in red rock and dry grass. A painted desert landscape from the Santa Fe stomping grounds of Arizona and New Mexico."

I don't understand why you kuid number is not appearing on the new asset when you clone. Are you sure you cloned the built-in region asset?

Please send me a MP with your Auran ID number and the kuid numbers of the cars your want to appear on your region. I will make it for you to see how it works.

Remember that these latter kuids number must be put onto the config file manually:

So, replace lines:

Code:
 car0                            34
car1                            35
car2                            100638
car3                            28
car4                            30
car5                            100622
car6                            32
car7                            100526
car8                            37
car9                            38
car10                            100527
car11                            41
car12                            100624

with:

Code:
 car5                            <kuid:67261:29031>
car6                            <kuid:67261:29016>
car7                            <kuid:67261:29031>
car8                            <kuid:67261:29044>
car9                            <kuid:67261:29093>
car10                            <kuid:67261:29112>
car11                            <kuid:67261:29111>
car12                            <kuid:67261:29133>
car13                            <kuid:67261:29132>
car14                            <kuid:67261:29114>
car15                            <kuid:67261:29136>

To be continued...
 
First let me say that I down loaded PFSs REGION file and am applying your instructions to it. I got it working but, I've added more cars and now I'm getting error messages. I'm limited to 20 cars only, 0-19. All car tags above 20 are unacceptable.

Thanks a million. I would like to continue this because I still don't understand it all yet.

I have to go to bed...:'( Gotta work grave tonight...:(

Later,
Rick
 
I am still watching and will help out where/when I can.

Alberte, that file is very interesting. I think I have worked out what it is for now. That file, if set up with our own cars (vintage ones) then it will override the default ones of TRS once we select the Geographical region. So in effect we could have 6 of these files, one for the US, one for Britain, one for European countries, one for AussieLand etc all with different cars. Is this right??? If so then any layout (a US one) we make and use this Geographical region on will have these settings, our next layout (a US one) will go back to the default cars if we do not specify a particular Geographical region, is this right???
