Is there a way to generate heavy road vehicles to travel over your roads in addition to the the cars/vans. Using Ver 2010.

Lots of trucks

Just add their kuid's to the config.txt of the region you are using. Most of the carz in my routes are HGV's out of the 70+ I have running.

What is a KUID?

Kuid's are the unique number given to every asset in Trainz. They take the form of: "kuid:######:$$$$$$" the #'s represent the unique id of the creator the $'s represent the unique id of the item. If you select an HGV you want to use it's kuid is displayed in CM3.

Open your region in "explorer" by highlighting the region and right clicking it and selecting "edit in explorer". In the file list double left click "config.txt" and it will open in "Notepad". look down the entries until you see an entry "car0" on the same line is the kuid of that car. Go to the bottom of the list of cars and add the next one in the sequence. for example "car26". press the tab key and enter the kuid number of the HGV you selected on the same line. Save the "config.txt" and close Notepad. Select your region again and press "Ctrl + M" which will commit the asset and check it before entering it back into the database.

Not all vehicles are suitable for use on the roads as Carz. It's a case of experimenting.

Config.txt where are you?

I have search so many times for this file, but do not know where it is! I have 2004. Got a hint?

The way I find the config.txt I want to edit is to start Surveyor and select the Route I want the Carz in. I the select "Edit Route from the "Main" drop down menu and check out the exact name of the "Region".

I then open CM and carry out a search for that exact name of the Region. Right Click it and select "Edit in Explorer". The resultant file list will contain the "config.txt" file which if Double Left clicked will open in "Notepad" ready for editing.

Or are you pulling my leg AmConn?

Moin,

To view your favourite vehicles on traffic roads, create your own region like the screen with the kuids of your favourite cars (0-15 only):

For TS 2010 traffic you should add the line "trackside 1.1 to each car because TS 2010 don´t displayed traffic in any regions.

When you create a new route, you must choose your new region in the menu on the begin in surveyor:

If you want to have your region in an existing route, open the config file of that route, search the region kuid and change the kuid for the region to the kuid of your region:

Here an example from TS 2010 with any scenery trucks from American_Connections:

I've done that, but with the cars made by Dinorius_Redundicus (hope I spelt that correctly), for both modern time and the 50's. ;)

I also change it using Content Creator Plus.
 
Sunken Trucks

Hi DonZer63

I notice that your trucks ride below the road surface. If you add:
"position 0,0,0.3" in the config.txt of the truck it will ride at road level.

Edit:
Attention: You should add the "trackside 1.0" line only if you want use it with TS 2010! If you do so, you can place this asset in parking scenery mode only with an invisible track, because it is selected as trackside object.

Nice Idea

I love to see my assets being used. To see my house brings back memories of being in it before it burnt, I am very sad that it is now only a bygone memory!
I still think drivable traffic is much better as the smoke and the bogeys are animated. They can also be industry active to coordinate with the train operations.
 
Position Tag

Martin,
Where is the position tag defined? What versions of Trainz does it apply?

Bob

Hi Bob

I can't find it being available before TR2009. I've checked TC and TR2006 but that's as far as I go back. It is available inTR2009 & TR2010.

Lost Trailer

Moin, ...
fouraxledumptrailer.jpg

Don, you have this trailer with the four bogeys? I have lost it, the only thing I could find from the DLS was a mis-up that only showed three bogeys, really don't know that could even happen as I never made a trailer that way! I sure would like to get this CDP or a copy of it from you if you have one! I need to include it in my website.
 
Moin,

[OffTopic]No problem, I´m just send out your AC MWM 40ft Coal Dump Trailer via mail to you.
But can´t remember whether i have make any changes to run it in TS 2009 and TS 2010. [/OffTopic]
