The hedges were to do with MY TIP, of which i have seen on from you, except on earlier pages.

Please start a new thread, or PM the author of the Adapter

Tip #2: use "town blocks" (an example can be found by shoves) for covering largeish areas of housing shops etc. A quick and low poly way to make towns

Thanks,

Engine spec has to be set up for a loco. This one is the default for a railcar and produces no power so it won't move on it's own except to roll down hill.

Also when you get it running the mass at 20000kgs (48100 lbs) is a bit much for an old willys pickup.

Kuid-table should have braces enclosing it value(s) like this:
kuid-table {
kuid:213782:1959 }
though for this case the only entry is it's own kuid which isn't necessary.

Why is this in two forums?

Why (as in why) is this (as in this - see below) in two (as in not one, but two) forums? As in this one and also in Questions.

Kent this thread isn't really the right place to discuss this problem. Why not start a new thread in the Content Creation forum and repost your config there. There are numerous problems with it. You'll get more help over there.

High five to Bob!

I don't think the word s**t is necessary, written in Romanian or not. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, if your past discussions are anything to go by.

Because the same person is, again, using this thread for queries!
He ruined the "Tips etc" last time.

is it possible for admin to delete any pointless posts i think this is need here now

cheers

Gav

Agreed! I for one have learned several things out of this thread and would like it to stay as a tips and tricks thread. I found that if you have a problem, it's best to post it into the "questions" thread, or start your own. Just describe your problem, be patient and humble, and 7/10 your problem will be solved!

Let's keep this thread tips and tricks please

Wish I had a few of my own to add...if I find some I'll let you all know! ^^

Another tip here:

To create nice gradients, lay the track first, set the spline heights then click on the "smooth spline height" button to snap the ground right up to the track! This works with curves and turnouts too, beautiful cuttings and embankments at no fuss at all!

Hope this helped.

hi, you could just use the set gradient tool, the one just above the set spline height tool

Gav

Oh yes, the gradients that sometimes result when using the gradient tool is very.....erratical. Does anyone have tips on how to use the tool properly? Perhaps I'm trying to pull a door that opens inwards?

How do you even get the gradient to work properley?
I only end up with a flat peice of track on either end, no matter what I do.

Example:
First spline:
Level with bow

Second spline:
Desired gradient

Third spline:
Level with bow

If I'm not wrong this is a tool in Surveor that's destined not to work properly. :hehe:

Could any Moderator please clean this thread up a bit.
Thanks!

Unfortently I have no tips at that moment.

The undo bug seems to be fixed in Trainz Classics. I've used it for an infinite variety of things and I have yet to see it crash.

In 06 however, prepare to see lots of access violations if you use it as said in a previous post. :hehe:

See this thread.

the secret to getting the 'apply gradient' tool to work is to have NOT used the 'apply height' tool to any spline point on the grade. 'Apply Height' APPEARS to over-ride 'apply grade' even if used before applying the gradient...
