New page

==KIND: TRAINCAR==
A '''traincar''' is a Locomotive or Rolling stock asset. One of the main features of TRS is that traincars, (namely rolling stock), have the ability to transport commodities (products) and to interact with compatible industry assets.

As there are a range of products and product categories, each rolling stock type is set up differently to accommodate the load type both visual representation and through it's config. For this reason we have made available individual downloads for the various rolling
stock types.

Refer to KIND: PRODUCT & KIND: PRODUCT-CATEGORY for further information.

The following example is a config.txt file from a locomotive. Note the mesh-table and animation setup.

===TRAINCAR CONFIG.TXT BREAKDOWN===
Some config.txt tags are not explained below, but are covered in the general [[CCG/Config.txt_Files|config.txt]] explanation.

'''default-night-forward''' ''The name for a submesh attached to a locomotive, to show a beam of light for example, in the direction of movement of the locomotive.'' Trainz recognises the name and turns on the correct mesh depending on the running direction.

Note in the example the use of auto-create 0 to make the mesh invisible when placed. The mesh will be visible when the light switch is activated.

'''bogey''' ''The bogey KUID number'' (default for a.bog0 and a.bog1)

'''Reversing a bogey'''
Reversing the bogey orientation is accomplished by ticking the reverse box in CCP, a boolean choice.
The bogey will have reversed orientation. Note: This will cause bogey animation to play in reverse unless the attachment point for the bogey is also rotated 180 degrees in 3dmax/Blender.

'''pantograph''' ''The pantograph KUID number inserted at a.pant0, a.pant1, etc.'' Use this tag only when needed.

'''interior''' ''Kuid number of the required interior.'' Inserted at a.cabfront or a.cabback. Use this tag only when needed
e.g. locomotives.

'''engine''' ''States type of traincar. 0 = Rolling stock, 1 = Locomotive''

'''mass''' ''Mass in kilograms''

'''company''' ''The Locomotive or car owner''

'''kind traincar''' ''must be traincar for any rollingstock''

'''fonts''' ''Indicates how many types of numbering fonts used,

e.g.0 = no fonts used,''

1 = one font

Digit textures (digit_1.tga to digit_6.tga) replaced automatically with alphanumber textures (alphanumber_0 to alphanumber_9 as numbers are changes via the Surveyor Trains tab - `Edit Properties' icon (the `?' icon).

2 = two fonts

Digit textures (digit_1a.tga to digit_6a.tga and digit_1b.tga to digit_6b.tga) replaced automatically with alphanumber textures (alphanumber_0a to alphanumber_9a and alphanumber_0b to alphanumber_9b) as numbers are changed via the Surveyor Trains tab - `Edit Properties' icon (the `?' icon).

'''enginespec''' ''References the engine KUID number. This specifies the driver physics boundaries for the traincar.'' Refer [[CCG/Kind: Engine|Kind: Engine]].

'''enginesound''' ''References the KUID number for the traincar's sound.'' Refer to KIND: ENGINESOUND.

'''hornsound''' ''References the KUID number for the traincar horn sound.'' Refer to KIND: HORNSOUND.

'''cabinsway''' "strength" ''where strength is a floating point number.'' This controls the magnitude of the random roll in internal view. The roll is also affected by the speed of the train. Negative numbers are not used. 0 = no sway... larger numbers (2, 6 etc) = larger sway.

'''smoke0'''
Sets boundaries for smoke, steam, vapor and similar effects. Refer: Smoke Effects Chapter 10 on Page 391.

'''description''' "blah blah blah " ''Description of the model for '''Railyard''' information and display on the '''DLS''' (Download Station) with the model.''

'''light_color''' ''RGB headlight colour. eg. 255,255,255'' This is the color of the train headlight corona, not the lighting itself.

===TRAINCAR EXAMPLES===

The following models were developed for TRS2004, and are still useful as examples. These contain mesh files as well as in-game files. Download the following rolling stock descriptions and examples for reference.

'''COAL HOPPER'''

A Coal Hopper is a typical example of a rolling stock item that uses an animated load representation. This asset also has animated opening doors and particle effects, each controlled by a script.
