Tunnels

[chris2001trainz2010]

hello, all. chris here.

is there a way to make certain tunnels "stick" to the baseboards if they don't already? there are certain tunnels that I would like to edit to do so.

Why would you want to take a perfectly good working tunnel, and turn it into an ancient Snap To Grid tunnel, the snap to grid feature usually makes track and tunnels weirdly curved.

A 1x1 dighole is so easy to place yourself, and raise two corners of the baseboard so that the tunnel portal fits into the small hole.

...And a "dighole" certainly qualifies as "sticking to the baseboard."

that's what i thought. i was looking mainly for a config line of someting like a script.

tunnel-roof-height

Used by tunnels to determine the roof height in meters allowed by the terrain hole. If less than or equal to zero, no terrain holes are generated. If greater than zero, this spline is considered a true tunnel- it will generate holes in the terrain mesh, its approach angle to the terrain mesh will be locked to 45° increments, and the endpoints will snap to the 10m grid size.

Tunnels are intended for running a spline underneath the terrain mesh.

Tunnel splines attempt to curve such that the spline terminates at a 45° angle increment. This helps ensure that entrance holes can be successfully created through the terrain mesh.

Tunnel splines have slightly modified editing semantics in Surveyor. Vertex markers are visible in different conditions. Smoothing the ground around a tunnel is not permitted. The tunnel spline always follows the spline gradient rather than reacting to the ground height.

oh, thank you, daneban. exactly what im looking for.

YW. I was surprised to see that tag still exists in game version 3.6, I thought it was obsoleted.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

i am actually running 3.7 (SP1 HF4)

Let me rephrase, I am surprised it has survived from 2.9 to 3.6.

oh. okay. and just one more question: i edited bnsf50's Tunnel Slide to the new specs and i noticed that it creates two digholes and raises some of the ground to go into the tunnel. here's what i mean:

Are you using this gauge for the Culdee Fell Railway engine's?

What exactly was the question?

i'm going to ignore that.

what was the question?

If you do use the tunnel height tag, your portal has to be much bigger, 20 meters....

just what the doctor ordered. thanks! sorry if i sounded unclear: i tend to do that. now with the digholes, they're still there. is there a way to cover them up and/or delete them?

 

[nathanmallard]

Where exactly is ​Culdee Fell?

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

thomas jargon, i'm sure.

Your associated portal fascia should cover them, doctor. There is no deleting them, read the tag definition.
