==KIND: GROUNDTEXTURE==

===Description===

A ground texture is tiled in Surveyor to color and cover the base grid. It can optionally reference a low polygon mesh and insert the mesh automatically as the ground is painted.

===Container Structure===

A well formed groundtexture kind has the following container structure:

[[Image:CCG_groundtexture_dir.jpg]]

See Chapter 7 for an example asset of this kind.

A TYPICAL ASSET OF THIS KIND MAY HAVE THE FOLLOWING TAGS:
groundtexture
kuid ''kuid''
kind ''data''
trainz-build ''data''
category-class ''data''
username ''data''
category-region ''data''
category-era ''data''
texture ''file''
thumbnails
0
image ''file''
width ''data''
height ''data''

===TAGS AND CONTAINERS===

The following tags are further defined in Chapter 5:

;kuid
:Generated automatically by [[Content Manager]].

;trainz-build
:Automatically set to 2.9 for 2009 assets.

;category-class
:Should be "G" - Ground, "GA" - Arid, "GL" - Lush, "GS" -Seasonal. See the “Ground” section of [[Category Class]].

;category-region
:See [[Category Region]] for a list of valid category-region values.

;category-era
:See [[Category Era]] for a list of valid category-era values.

;username
:Asset username. This will be the name that appears as a mouseover hint in the surveyor menu. Textures are also sorted alphabetically by username.

;kind
:Must be "groundtexture".

;texture
:The texture file. Should be a 128x128 pixel bitmap.

===Additional Tags===

;clutter-mesh
:Ground textures can now reference a mesh and insert the mesh automatically as the ground is painted.
Painting over a clutter-mesh ground texture effectively deletes clutter meshes and texture. The mesh it refers to can be a standard scenery object kind mesh. Clutter-meshes must have only one Max material assigned to it. Polycounts must be very low.

===THIS KIND SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING:===

;CONTAINERS
:String Table, Chinese String Table, Czech String Table, Dutch String Table, French String Table, German String Table, Italian String Table, Polish String Table, Russian String Table, Spanish String Table, KUID Table, Obsolete Table, Thumbnails, Privileges, Extensions.

;TAGS
:kuid, trainz-build, category-class, category-region, category-era, username, kind, texture, author, category- keyword, clutter-mesh, contact-email, contact-website, description, description-cn, description-cz, description-de, description-es, description-fr, description-it, description-pl, description-nl, description-ru, license, organisation, username-cn, username-cz, username-de, username-es, username-fr, username-it, username-nl, username-pl, username-ru.
