Recovering RBR Addict
Can someone tell me how can update some of my old stations i have on the DLS as i'm wanting to change the track on it to the same type of track i'm using on my route i'm currently working on but have no idea how to change it is there any videos i can watch so i know what too do as i find that the best way to learn someting i dont know how to do ( an old housemate / flatmate helpped me with them last time )

looking to update my Stations to TS12 or Tane
 
In your attached track-container for your stations, ensure you have this tag.

useadjoiningtracktype 1

What this does is use whatever track you have on your route on the stations as well.

If the asset is configured correctly, the config.txt file will have an attached track container like the one at the site I referred to:

Code:
attached-track {
    slc-spur {
       vertices {
         0                                   "a.track0a"
          1                                   "a.track0b"
          2                                   "a.track0c"
          3                                   "a.track0d"
          4                                   "a.track0e"
       }
 track                                 <kuid:-25:893> 
 useadjoiningtracktype                 1
 }
 }

You need to determine what the value of the useadjoiningtracktype tag is. If it's zero, set it to 1. If it's missing, add it.
 
If you just want to change the track on your route over to another track;.... have you used the "Bulk Asset Update/Replace" from your Main Menu?

If "NO" follow instructions below:

Simple,.. Go to Main Menu, scroll to "Bulk Asset Update/Replace", then drag the 'current track' from your Right-hand list of assets into "Assets to update".
Then drag the newly selected track from your Right-hand list of assets into "Assets to replace with".
Then make sure "Anywhere on the Route" is displayed and click "Begin".

Done and dusted!

If "YES", keep searching.

Hi there Roy Question ? if the track is part of a station platform ( as its a 3 track platform ) & its currently got wood sleepers & you want to change the sleepers to Concrete Sleepers are you saying the bulk / replace option can do that ..??
 
Wouldn't you just find the kuid numeral of the track used in the config file, and edit that track kuid numeral in 2 places (top & bottom) and replace your favorite track kuid numeral in the config file ?

Try it on a clone first to see if it works

My favorite trick is to create a "New Folder" in the asset, and copy paste the original config file in that "New Folder" (then edit the original config file) ... If you mess up, then you could always retrieve the original config file from the "New Folder" (I don't even bother to name the "New Folder")

As cascaderail has stated all I do is find the Kuid of track I want to Change and replace with new track Kuid.
Theres normally 2 places (1) Attached Track and (2) in Kuid table.
This has worked for me several Times
