Starting with trainz

[angelsd]

Hi,

Up todas I have never play with these type of programs.

To start with, I have created a very simple layout to start knowing how all the trainz issues work. The layuot is compsed of a doble oval and large line with two stationery in the laterals. I have included there trains, one in every direction and one bidirectional. I ran trains to check all junciones work.

From this point all are doubts. The next step is:

a) how to include signals that change under specific conditions (a track is ocopied ot not, a junction is in a specific posición... Etc.)
b) how to Intruct to a driver that should follow the signals.

Any sugestion to continue?

An important issue, I understatand English lenguaje but please, use simple words and don't slang.

Think you in advance

Hello Angelsd. Welcome to Trainz!

Trainz signalling is very complex, and Auran had a guide for older versions of Trainz which explained how the signals work and how to place them on your layout. Sadly this guide is no longer available (it's in English too, so it might be a little confusing for a non-native English speaker sadly). I could try to explain it myself as simply as I could, but I think I would just end up confusing you.

Trainz does have a special Spanish-language forum though which might be more helpful for you, found here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/forumdisplay.php?34-Trainz-Espa%F1ol

I'm really sorry I couldn't be more help.

Very useful I think. Might provide the level of detail you need about signaling.

TS12 docs are barely useful. For such a great sim I find that rather strange and sad.

If it wasn't for the great people on this forum I would have already written off the $39.99 spent on the main program, the cost of a 6 month 1st class ticket and the 2 DLC Routes I've purchased.

As it is I hold out hope that eventually I'll figure it out.

Try to get hold of a copy of the TRS2006 manual I found that to be really useful.

Think you, I had already red these tutorial, but my first questions was: is there any type of signal that can be control led be scripts?

the other questions was simmilar but regarding with junctions, and first of it; how can I attach a script to a junction?
