How to get assets parallel with the track?

Tuesday, 12 February 2013 20:05 Published in Route design

You can use the TAB key to align the object to the track. The object needs to be a newly placed object fresh from the objects list - objects already dropped into place will not work:

1) Select an item from the object list
2) Before dropping it into place, hold the TAB key down while hovering the object over a section of tangent track
3) The object should "snap" to align with the track - if it doesn't, adjust your camera view slightly and try again (don't drop the object or release the TAB key)
4) If the object is 90 degrees to the track and pointed the wrong way, go ahead and drop it in place and use the Ctrl key and the object spinner to rotate it into position

Using Portals for AI

Tuesday, 12 February 2013 12:30 Published in Scenario creation

Using Portals for AI

Although RSC discourages the practice, having a train emerge from a portal is a fairly simple process -- provided that the portal is correctly placed. The steps are these:

1) Place an AI engine or train near the portal ... facing away from it, of course.

2) Set up the AI engine or train's route and make sure that it runs correctly without interfering with other trains. I typically leave the last step until the entire scenario is complete.

3) Double click the portal: a fly-out opens at the upper right of the screen and can be pinned in place like any other fly-out. This one contains two buttons, labeled "add" and "remove", and a list box, as well as the name of the scenario and the name of the portal. To place the train into the portal, simply click the "add" button and then click any part of the train. The train's name then appears at within the list box. Click anywhere outside the fly-out.

This becomes trickier when two or more trains are to be hidden within the same portal. I don't much care for the term "spawn" being applied to what happens in during the scenario, because it suggests that the portal simply spits out one or more trains on its own, when the truth of the matter is that a good deal of planning has gone in to the process. One last note: to remove a train from a portal, double-click the portal to open its fly-out, click the "remove" button, and click the train's name. Careful! The train is now attached to the mouse pointer and if not placed correctly on a track it will simply vanish.

Railworks Community Asset Project VERSION 2

Sunday, 10 February 2013 00:00 Published in RCAP

The Railworks Community Asset Project, or RCAP for short, is a group of leading developers in the Railworks community who felt there was a need for route building assets that were free from any RSC updates or licensing restrictions. Thus you are encouraged to create routes using these files, so long as none of the included files are used for commercial purposes. The files presented here are released under the Creative Commons Public License.

In the first release is a variety of buildings, signs, vehicles, people and a large assortment of clutter.

Railworks America gets a face lift!

Railworks America gets a face lift!

Welcome to the new web site of Railworks America! It has been created using the Joomla CMS system. The file library here is a seperate entity that displays files in a catalog fashion and has a search function that only searches through the files and their entries not the entire site. There is however a site wide search for the other parts of the RWA web site, like the FAQ and Tutorial sections that are constantly under construction, RCAP will have information on itself, the Payware Advertisers area and anything else written on the site somewhere.

At this time the move of the file library to it's new location is still an under going process. So far all of the routes, models and miscelleanous files have been moved. I am working on the rolling stock section and am also breaking it up in to 3 sections. Engine repaints, rolling stock (cars) and accessories. Each file had to be downloaded, then reuploaded then the information for each file including added date, times downloaded, whose it was, screenshots, file size, any updates and what was in the readme was entered for each one. No small chore. In the meantime the original file library will still be accessable to download the rolling stock and scenarios that have not been moved. A notice will be posted in the forums all about it and supply the link.

Once I figured out a system it started to go faster. I am actually copying info from the original RWA site to the new, so everything will be the same but look different and be organized differently as well as a new searching system. I guesstimate it will be at least 10 days of work. I may have a helper to do the scenarios which would shave 4 days off.

The goal is to have a place to retrieve information and files that pertain to Train Simulator 2013 or Railworks to a lot of us. We have a good community in the forums with a lot of information, but at the same time it is all over the place. Along with being hard to find in the forum you also have hundreds of posts that are just general chit chat, which is fine, but gets in the way of information seeking. The web site will be able to handle all of the good information in an organized and searchable way, with out all the general chatter of the forums. It will be just straight up information. Let's keep this thing alive!

The route starts at Lillooet and heads approximately 70 miles to the north and features a long climb with grades of 2.2% out of the Fraser River Canyon. After the climb out of the canyon the route enters the forests of the Cariboo region for the remaining half of the route.
