Replacing tree groups

[-Basti-]

Hey guys,

i'm trying to rework an older route for T:ANE, in this route are tree groups used (an asset with multiple trees),
usually i like to use the replace-function in Trainz, but in this case, it would replace the tree groups with a single tree...

I know I could use the selection replace tool and paste a custom tree area step by step, but i'm looking for a easier way

Eg. i was thinking about adding a dummy asset that attaches tree assets and replace the tree group through the dummy asset.
When I delete the dummy asset in CM, will the attached tree assets stay? Or does this only work for splines?

Do you have any other ideas?

Hello Sebastian,

I have replaced SpeedTree groups with single trees. The group is gone, but a single tree remains if this what you want.

I had to edit the config.txt file in Content Manager in order for the tree groups to appear in Surveyor.

You need to change the following line in the is container:

privileges
{
permit-listing 0 -----> Change to 1
}

You then commit the asset, but choose to overwrite the built-in asset.

The groups will now appear in your Surveyor content list and you'll be able to replace them as you wish.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi John,

I tried this with the asset "tree green group", but it only throws up a popup that tells me it is not authorised to commit the asset. Any thoughts?

Hmmm... It used to work... Let me check.

EDIT: It worked fine for me. I did this to the old SpeedTreeGroup_Gum_01,<kuid2:523:1121:1> included with TS2010 and TS12.

No, it doesnt help me replacing the one tree group asset through one single tree Replacing is not the point, the tree group is an old one (of times before Speed trees)

You could still get the kuid for the tree group and replace this with a single tree, I would think. What I outlined above does the same for those Speed Tree groups which are hidden from us in Surveyor.
