Use the Bulk asset replace tool. You can replace a texture across the whole map or selected area.

You can also select your own default texture and have that applied when you add a new baseboard.

[h=1]Installing Grid Region[/h][FONT=&quot]If you prefer the old Grid pattern, or any other default ground texture, follow these steps to change your Region:[/FONT]

  • Open Content Manager
  • Type "Grid Region" in the search box
  • Change the filter to Download Station
  • R-click and click Download
  • In the Routes Menu select your route to Edit
  • Click Edit Menu > Edit Route > Change Region
 
Installing Grid Region

If you prefer the old Grid pattern, or any other default ground texture, follow these steps to change your Region:

  • Open Content Manager
  • Type "Grid Region" in the search box
  • Change the filter to Download Station <-- Does not show the "Grid Region" asset, better to use All Content
  • R-click and click Download
  • In the Routes Menu select your route to Edit
  • Click Edit Menu > Edit Route > Change Region

A problem with the above method is that you will lose any other settings in your originally selected Region - such as latitude, longitude, altitude, road traffic, etc, etc.
 
It is relatively easy to edit any region asset to set the default texture to the standard grid or to any PBR texture you prefer. This preserves all the other settings that you may need in the region such as the road traffic characteristics. You need to add, at a minimum, two lines to its config.txt file.

PHP:
default-texture                   <kuid:-25:1180>
trainz-build                      4.8

The above example uses the <kuid> for the standard TRS19 grid pattern, but any PBR texture can be used.

The default-texture tag is only valid in assets of Trainz build 4.8 and above so the trainz-build tag must also be added.

A condition of region assets is that if the trainz-build is 3.4 and higher then additional tags become compulsory. Specifically:-


  • water-color
  • defaultjunction
  • longitude
  • latitude
  • altitude

Details can be found on the Trainz Wiki at https://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/How_to_Create_a_Region_Asset

I have also edited and uploaded the standard Auran created region assets to use the standard TRS19 Grid while preserving all the other features.

They can be found on the DLS as:-

<kuid:45176:100490> Australia with TRS19 Grid
<kuid:45176:100362> United Kingdom with TRS19 Grid
<kuid:45176:100481> France with TRS19 Grid
<kuid:45176:100437> United States with TRS19 Grid
<kuid:45176:100488> Germany with TRS19 Grid
<kuid:45176:100499> Switzerland with TRS19 Grid
