New page

==KIND: TRACK - ROAD==
This is used for creating roads.

===config.txt:===
kuid <KUID2:####:####:1>
kind "track"
length 5
grounded 0.4
istrack 0
width 7.9
bendy 1
isroad 1
uncached_alphas 1
carrate 55
username "my road"
description "blah blah"

category-era "1990s"

===Breakdown:===
'''region''' ''Surveyor region.''

'''type''' ''Surveyor type.''

'''length''' ''Length of track segment in metres.''

'''grounded''' ''Height in meters for the road to be offset from terrain.''

'''istrack''' ''0 = This is not rail tracks.''

'''width''' ''Width of track mesh in metres.''

'''bendy''' ''Switches how track is bent on corners, set as 1 allows the mesh to be deformed as the spline is bent around corners.''

'''isroad''' ''Specifies track is a road with cars'', 1 for cars to appear on road, 0 for no cars to appear.

'''uncached_alphas''' ''This is used in certain situations to improve alpha sorting.'' This should only be set to 1 for tracks that use an alpha texture and are always placed flat near the ground. This is only used on road splines.

'''carrate''' ''Defines traffic density on road (minimum seconds between each car generated).'' 0 = No traffic. Number must be greater than 3.

'''Additional Notes for splines:'''

Splines may be used to create a number of objects that are not track, a building, bridges, walls, fences a row of poles or trees for example.

'''upright 0''' ''This effects how vertical the objects in the spline are, for example a row of poles:

0 = the poles will be placed at right angles to the slope of the ground.
1 = the poles will be truly vertical regardless of the ground slope.

'''Notes:''' bendy and upright have a visible effect for Kind Track splines, see diagram below. For Kind Bridge or Tunnel, the splines show as in bendy 1, bendy 0 has no visual effect. However, bendy 1 should always be entered in the config.txt file for bridge and tunnel Kinds, as the tag improves handling of the spline and Trainz performance .

A Kind track placed on the ground is now height adjustable, and is the best option for most spline models. Splines of Kind track have a much less frame rate and performance impact than Kind bridge.
