Catalogue
Hello HugoSegers,
And welcome to the Wonderful World of Trainz - as I am sure you have found out....
There is no actual catalogue as far as I know. With nearly 9Gig of static content alone on my drive I also found it very difficult to know what I had or had not.
Our content Creators (God Bless 'em) don't always name them in a way that will cause them to list in sequence either. For instance there is a series of very nice building backdrops recently that have been called by the item/building or whatever so they get spread all over the place in the Objects listing and I am blowed if I can remember every individual name. What would be more practical is to call them 'Backdrop-XXXXX' the x being the name of the content, then they would all list under backdrop.
The way I work around this problem is to spend a bit of time running through the lists and writing everything I feel I need to remember or that I am likely to use regularly, on paper, and by type, again for instance all static objects, then a new list for all splines, one for vehicles, another for railway assets (stations, signal boxes etc). Then I go to Lotus ( or MS Word if you prefer) and type the lists out and print them in hard copy. I then have at least a name reference for objects that are say, Commercial, shops, houses and so on.
Yes, they have to be updated now and then as you continue to download, but I have found these lists invaluable.
Just a suggestion....
Enjoy Trainz.
