Route Description and Images

[klambert]

You know the menu which has the routes which you may want to drive on ,or if you are in survayer you want to edit. When you select a route, a box in the top left hand corner gives you a description of the route. Below that is another box which sometimes contains a picture of the route. How do you add a picture of the route in that box?

You do it like this, at least for TRS2006. Add the following to the routes config file. Do not put in the size of the "splash" screen as this confuses Trainz (a bug in TRS2006) but use a 512x512 pixel jpg image for it and place it in the route file along with the thumbnail image. You may use different names for the images if you wish.

thumbnails {
thumb {
image "thumbnail.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
preview {
image "splash.jpg"
}
}

How do I find the config file?

Open CMP and select the My Content tab. Right click on your route and select open for edit in explorer. Double click on the config file to open it in notepad. Edit away.
