View source for DE/T:ANE Neue Funktionen

Trainz: A New Era bringt eine Bandbreite an neuen Funktionen mit sich, auf die Trainz-Freunde schon viele Jahre gewartet haben. Diese Seite führt euch in einige dieser Funktionen ein:

Seite in Bearbeitung...

=Procedural Animated Junctions=

With the new "T:ANE" procedural track, when you create a junction including all the additional elements such as frogs, blades and sleepers in real time just by laying track like you are used to. Older track can also be replaced simply using the "Replace Assets" feature. 
Information for Content Creators can be found at: [[How_To/Build_Procedural_Track_for_T:ANE]]

=Superelevation=
To add "tilt" to your track, use the Track Properties dialog and adjust each of the parameters.

=Weather & PFX Collision=
Smoke will collide with scenery objects and "supported" spline objects such as tunnels and bridges. Rain and snow now collide with the terrain and do not enter tunnels. 

=Cabin Sway=
Adjust track condition and car suspension to increase or decrease the amount of pitch and roll with each car at various speeds.

Future wishlist:
* the train cabin usually has rigid connection to traincar body, so here should be the sway of driver's head relative to cabin...

=Train Motion=

==Add "bumps" to the track==

(i) Load your test route in Surveyor

(ii) Under Track Tab > Trackside Objects find Invisible Track Bump 

(iii) Place a few bumps along your track and place a loco and wagons at the head of your track.

(iv) Click on Quickdrive, Save and enter Driver

(v) Start your loco and watch using external camera for visual bumps

==Adjust the track condition==

(i) Load your test route in Surveyor, and open the Track Tab

(ii) Click on the Properties tool (?) and click on the track. Adjust the default track condition from 50 to 1. Repeat for various track segments. 

Note: You may want to place objects or paint the terrain next to where you change the track condition to see where you "should" notice the effect.

==Create your own "Bump"assets==

(i) Open Content Manager and using the Custom filter, search for Invisible Track Bump (asset will be available on DLS soon)

(ii) R-Click >  Duplicate to clone the asset, then select the new asset and R-Click > Edit Config File text

(ii) Rename the line:

username                                "Invisible Track Bump"  to

username                                "Invisible Track Bump 1"

(iii) Change the line:
track-bump-angles                       1,0  to

track-bump-angles                       0,1

(iv) Close and save the config file

(v) R-Click > Submit Edits

Note: Close Trainz and re-open (Start Trainz) after creating your bump assets for the changes to take effect.

==Try out your new Bump 1 asset==

(i) Place your new bump onto the track in Surveyor, run your test drive over the bump in Driver and see what happens differently with your new asset.

Hint: Rock and _ _ _ _

(ii) Create more assets following the same process trying different values other than 0 and 1.

==Adjust Rolling Stock Suspension==

(i) In Content Manager, locate the loco being used then R-Click > Edit Config file Text

(i) Add the following lines to the file that opens 

suspension-stiffness         0.1

suspension-damping        0.1

suspension-pitch-limit     10

suspension-roll-limit         25

These relate to:

suspension-stiffness - The stiffness of the suspension, from 0 to 1 where 0 is floppy and 1 is completely rigid. Defaults to 0.75<br>
suspension-damping - Degree of suspension damping, where 0-1 is underdamped (will oscillate back and forward to gradually settle), 1 is critically damped (will move back to equilibrium as quickly as possible), >1 is overdamped (will move back to equilibrium more slowly). Defaults to 0.3.<br>
suspension-pitch-limit - maximum pitch angle of the vehicle, in degrees. Defaults to 0.5<br>
suspension-roll-limit - maximum roll angle of the vehicle, in degrees. Defaults to 4<br>
Note: random jolt movement will only occur on below average track (condition scalar >.5). As with other movement it also gets worse at high speed<br>

=Interlocking Towers=

Feature coming soon (not available in day 1 release version)

=New Graphics Features=
* Full world shadows
* Per-pixel HDR lighting
* A range of Post-processing effects including:
** Sun effects
** Near and far depth of field blur
** HDR Tonemapping
** Bloom
** Convolution
** SSAO
** Grayscale
** Sepia
* Water reflections
* Water shaders

=Other "Cool New Stuff"=
* Ctrl+Mousewheel in Driver and Surveyor to change your field of view
* Shift-Mousewheel (or shift-arrow) in Driver and Surveyor to make finer adjustments to your camera
* Ctrl-shift-drag for even finer object height adjustment
* Shift +/- to adjust your draw distance without opening the Setting window
* Lots more to come...
