AssetX Scripts

AssetX Script Libraries

As well as being a Help Page, this page is intended to be a source for scripts written for AssetX.

Please Note: Any installers on this page must be executed separately, and AssetX opened immediately afterwards.

Ian Woodmore's TARDIS 2.0 Scripts

During the development of AssetX, Ian Woodmore wrote an extensive set of scripts to test the scripting language.

These TARDIS scripts, in conjunction with Asset X, can perform automated repair. upgrade and up-version of legacy assets to any asset trainz-build TB 2.7 or greater.

The scripts cover a wide range of common config.txt tags and containers. They work fine for the bulk of early version assets. Any remaining errors must be fixed manually using the Content Manager (CM) as a guide.

TARDIS is a Work in Progress and will evolve as new versions of Trainz and TANE are released.

The script installer is available from HERE and will automatically load the scripts into your AssetX installation.

PEV's Version Upgrade Scripts

Also during the development of AssetX, PEV wrote a simple set of version upgrade scripts to test the scripting language.

These are a set of four AssetX scripts that, together, can perform asset version upgrades to TC1/2 (trainzbuild 2.7) or TS2009 (trainzbuild 2.9).

These simple scripts do no error checking, and only cover the common config.txt tags. They work fine for the bulk of early version assets. Those errors that remain must be fixed manually using CM2 or CM3 as a guide.

The script installer is available from HERE and will automatically load the scripts into your AssetX installation.

Script Code for Sharing

Example

If you have written an AssetX script that you think may be useful for the community you can copy and paste it into this section. To get the text to appear in a code box, all of the lines must start with a space character. Here is a simple example:-

FileName "Username.axm"

-If|config.txt\name!""
 -Save|0|config.txt\name
 -Update|config.txt\username|"*** NEW TAG ***"
 -Restore|0|config.txt\username
 -delete|config.txt\name
-EndIf

Corrected Version of Install Superscript.axm

This corrects some typos in the file provided with the AssetX installation. Copy and paste the following and save in the scripts folder as 'Install Superscript.axm'
