How to use Topo Maps in Trainz by colorado71 A. USING OF GLOBAL MAPPER 1. Configuration of Global Mapper Install Global Mapper on your computer. Download custom_shaders rar from http://trainz.uv.ro/tutorial/files/custom_shaders.rar Unpack the archive and copy the file custom_shaders.txt in the installation folder of Global Mapper. Run Global Mapper and select the option spectrum_trainz from "shader" bar on the program's tool bar. 2. Georeference your topo map Select the map (scanned map, satellite image, topo map etc.) you want to reproduce in trainz. You must know the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of two points on it, so you can georeference it with Global Mapper. From the File Menu of Global Mapper select "Rectify (Georeference) Imagery" click OK and select your image. Open it and the dialog box "Image Rectifier" will appear. Zoom the image over the first point of which coordinates you know, select it, insert its latitudinal and longitudinal position as __/__/___ (for example 21/38/45) and press "add GCP to list." Proceed in the same manner with the second point. Save the image as GeoTIFF. 3. Select your future trainz map a) Open the map thus created with GlobalMapper. From the File Menu select "Export Raster and Elevation Data" - "Export GeoTIFF." In the dialog box which appear select "Export Bounds" and press "Draw a Box." Select the area of your future trainz map and save it as GeoTIFF. b) From the File Menu select "Download Online Imagery/Topo/Terrain Maps" (or simple open the DEM map for the area of your image map). Select the server from which you want to download the digital elevation map (http://seamless.usgs.gov/ or http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ for example) and then press OK. From the File Menu select "Export Raster and Elevation Data" - "Export DEM," then select "Export Bounds" in the dialog box, and finally, press "Reset to Last Exported Bounds." B. USING OF MICRODEM 1.

Place the track on the ground, and use the "Adjust Spline Height" button in advanced tab to raise it to the height(s) you require for an airplane, helicopter, ship or drivable car or truck. Place your intended locomotive object (any drivable object) on the track in Surveyor. In driver, the track will be invisible. I suggest adding invisible speed limits and/or signals as well.

I have a few pointers, I do these type of junctions daily * The most important tip is to place a JK Control Box object somewhere on the map. Without it, no animations will work. * I think it said in the manual that you should number the junctions from 1-4 in a clockwise manner while looking north. So basically, I put the Surveyor compass in such a way that I'm looking sl

* Reply with quote * Report this post Re: external downloads, how do you get them on trainz New postby glbotu on Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:30 pm Right, what have you actually downloaded. If it is a cdp file (with the green icon), then simply double click it and it should install by itself, removing the cache file so that it can re-build itself. If it is a .zip or a .rar file with other files inside, extract to /TRS2004/World/Custom/Trains and it should work. If you have done both/one of those things, then you are probably missing dependencies. To check this, go to http://www.tafweb-trainz.co.uk and download trainz objectz. This program can find if objects have missing assets (don't let it fix anything when loading it can go wrong). When the grids are loaded (this will make sense when you have installed and run the program) right click on the piece of content and click "check dependencies". It will then give you an option to find missing assets on the DLS. Do this. Ensure you are registered with the download station. http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php. If things STILL aren't working then re-install trainz and re-download/install the content.

Hump yards Hi all is there a track object that slows down wagons whilst going over humps in hump freight yards (its a system where a shunter would shunt a number of wagons up an incline then as they near the top the wagons roll away from the rest of the train with the use of gravity then the system on the track slows wagons which then sorted in to differant sections of track.

Canal Bridge at Magdeburg Over the Elbe River This is a model based on the bridge that allows the Mittellend canal to cross the Elbe river. The model is a fixed length object, and only covers the main crossing spans, 220 metres, waterway width is 32 metres.

Speaking of uncoupling, there's a very useful third-party tool called "UncouplezFrom", , created by Smileyman and available on the Download Station
