Replacing BridgeTrack

[EverTrainz]

Recently I found a workaround for being stuck with the default track/road on bridges. I'd just drag and drop the current unwanted road, and the new road into the Replace Assets box. It's working great, but for my roads and my choice of bridge, I can't find the original road. The bridges are the MB-Arch road bridge series. In CCP and configs, it says the default bridgetrack is 100614, which is <kuid:-1:100614>. It's an Auran default, I believe, but I can't find it in my game. I clicked the little "C" next to the bridgetrack box in CCP, but it comes up with absolutely nothing. I would be appreciative if someone could locate it. Without knowing the default bridge road, I can't replace it with my, sleek, newer roads.

Also, HAHAHA... If I ever put my map up onto the DLS, will others who download it be able to see the bridges with the track I replaced with? Or, I unfortunately think, will they see they default bridgetrack that the author posted in the config?

I'm assuming laying the road of your choice right over it is not an option?

Clone the item in CMP first, this way should you ever distribute your route you won't have a problem with conflicting configs (in your second post). CTRL+SHIFT+E opens it for edit in Explorer, then open the config, replace <kuid:-1:100614> with the kuid of your preferred route. Remember to do the same in the kuidtable at the bottom.

Summary: don't look for and edit the dependency, tell the bridge to use another dependency instead.

There are around 40 different colors/shapes of those bridges, that I use. I don't want to have to do that for all of my bridges. But if I could use obsolete-table to replace the previous version, on MY road, would it work?

BTW, Mike10 is the author of the bridges for anyone who wants to see all of the bridges.

Look for the line (example):
bridgetrack <kuid:35412:38111>

Copy <kuid:35412:38111> and paste it into the search filter with "Asset KUID" selected from the drop down list.

Find this asset, then after backing it up, replace the contents of it's folder with the contents of your desired road's folder. Edit the desired road's config file to read the same kuid (38111, in this example). Commit.

By doing this the change will only take effect on your computer. Anyone else you share the route with will still see the original road (because you swapped out the contents and not the dependency).

I've already tried that. If the asset was actually there, I would've actually enabled it and replaced it already. However, it's a default road made by Auran, guessing by the "-1" in the KUID, which is <kuid:-1:100614>. Because it's a default, I guess N3V made it so that we didn't have to have defaults installed in order to use them as a dependency. I can find it NOWHERE, not on the DLS, not on a website, but literally nowhere. Looking at a Google Search, it's called RoadforBridge (USE), but that turns up no results on the DLS as well.

- In ContentManager right click on the bridge and view dependencies, to show what's really used (-25:769 in TS12 with SP1).
- Click 'view in main list' to list the dependencies
- right click on the road to 'view asset versions' to see all versions of the asset (-25:769, -1:9100614 and -1:100614)

Try using FMA bridges, viaducts and arches. These come without pre-installed track and are laid as non-rail type splines under your track. Requires a bit of work to fit snuggly where curved track or sections are on a gradient are concerned but give good results.

AFAIK amending the track type on a bridge or tunnel will change it for your personal use only, anyone who downloads your route will still see the original.
