KIND data types
The main article for this topic is: KIND TrainzBaseSpec, which details required tags, containers and place in the Trainz Data Heirarchy.
The KIND data type defined in an assets config.txt files explicitly defines which other (data type) entries are needed in that particular assets config.txt file to the various Trainz game engine software modules. The config.txt and it's associated (independent*) files together define the self-defining software describing the asset and it's functionality to the game engine.
Certain KINDs are dependent upon other KIND assets, others are stand-alone. Asset KINDs are thus the entry which technologically defines the asset or sub-asset's type, scope, and needs.
KIND definitions further tell TRAINZ how to process and render the specific asset item correctly, and render it into 3D graphics models.
In other words, you were reading too much into it, Kind is not an acronym. But what is chump?
The CHUMP file extension indicates to your device which app can open the file. However, different programs may use the CHUMP file type for different types of data.
Donald Chump Let's face facts. You're further destroying the world. Didn't think it could get much worse than Bush. Who was an inferior scared coke induced little girl. Your mental instabilities are showing. Surrounded yourself with people scared to tell you the truth . You and your family a dark wall cloud.
CHUMP (for: Cheap Homebrew Understandable Minimal Processor) is a tiny 4 bits processor intended to be implemented with less than 10 TTL chips. from my experience i never saw more simplistic Do it Yourself processor.
The chump file is an internal file that you should NEVER attempt to edit. If you corrupt it you will have to rebuild the asset. My ArchiveIndex utility is mainly for looking at archives, and cdp's. The fact that it can open chump files is "accidental".. they are the same basic format as cdp's and archives.
Chump is probably a binary version of a config. As such it would much faster to load in game than parsing the text version. No idea why it is called a chump but programmers are notorious for making up words for things not previously defined. IM files contain chunks for example.
KIND is a bit like an object definition as in object oriented programming.
Paul, being a binary version of a config, do you know why it doesn't contain the KUID number ?
It probably does but not in a form you can read in a plain text editor.Paul, being a binary version of a config, do you know why it doesn't contain the KUID number ?
It probably does but not in a form you can read in a plain text editor.
The kuid, and most other numbers, is likely encoded as a raw binary number which would not be obvious in a normal editor. Programmers use a data type called strings to represent text for humans to understand. For coding purposes "1234" is not the same as 1234. The first is a string and the second a number. A config.txt is a string or plain text file.
I think PEV's tools can read chump files. TBH, I've never needed to look at one.
