Latest revision as of 09:35, 21 October 2024
The information in this Wiki Page applies to the palettes and windows found in Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum Surveyor (Surveyor 2.0) and in Driver.
[edit] The Trainz Plus World |
When you start Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum the world presented will look something like the following images, but what you actually see can be highly customised to your own preferences. |
Surveyor 2.0
The dark grey strips on the left and right of the screen contain Palettes that have been Docked into the positions shown. Palettes are where selections can be made, information displayed and controls set. | |||
|
|
|
Driver
|
All the windows in Driver are normally hidden.
|
|
[edit] Hiding and Showing Palettes and Windows |
Palettes and Windows, in both Surveyor and Driver, are hidden and revealed using the Window Menu. |
|
The visible and hidden Palettes and Windows in the screenshots shown above have had their visibility set by:-
Surveyor |
Driver |
|
[edit] Docking and Undocking Palettes |
Palettes in Surveyor are normally Docked, locked into fixed positions on both sides of the Surveyor Screen. They can be Undocked and freed to move anywhere on the screen. | |
Windows in Driver are Undocked and are free to move anywhere on the screen. They cannot be Docked. |
|
Undocking a Palette
|
Docking a Palette
|
[edit] Resizing Palettes and Windows |
Only Surveyor palettes that are Undocked can be resized. Some palettes have to be resized to display all their available information. | |
Most Driver windows cannot be resized. |
|
|
[edit] Minimise Maximise Close |
Minimising will hide a palette or window but retain its size and position data. | |
Maximising will return a palette or window to the screen using its last size and position data. | |
Closing will remove a palette or window from the screen but its size and position data will be saved. When it is next opened it will be shown on the screen using its last size and position data. |
|
The image below shows a Surveyor 2.0 screen with an open window box (the Find Object Tool) and two Undocked palettes (Info and Layers)
|
|
[edit] The Info Palette |
This is a Surveyor Only palette |
|
This palette can be easily overlooked but it has some very useful features:- | |
naming objects | |
providing precise data and control over the "focus" - the position of the cursor | |
providing precise data and control over the position and orientation of objects (it can be used instead of the Free Move Tool and the Fine Adjustment Tool) | |
identifying and setting the "home" layer and binding layer of a selected object | |
used for locking and unlocking a selected objects layer |
The components of the Info Palette are identified in the image below.
|
[edit] Palette Coordinates
|
[edit] Info Settings Menu |
All the Focus, Position and Rotation settings have drop down menus that allow values to be transferred to and from other settings and other tools.
|
Next to the z co-ordinate in both the Focus and Position is a small white down arrowhead. Left Click on the arrowhead to open its menu.
There is only one option in the sub-menu.
|
[edit] Focus Info and Controls |
The Focus shows the current position and height of the Cursor object. |
Open up the Focus by a Left Click on its arrowhead icon.
|
|
[edit] Asset Name Menu |
"Asset Name" refers to the name of the asset as displayed in the Assets Palette and in Content Manager. This is not the same as the Object Name (see the next section) |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for an Asset Name to be shown and for this menu to be available.
If more than one object has been selected then the name and position data shown will be for the last selected object. If different objects (with different kuid codes) have been selected then a count of the additional objects will be added. The (+2) shown in the object name in the image on the left indicates that 2 additional different objects are in the group of selected objects. |
Next to the Asset Name is a small white Down Arrowhead. Left Click on the arrowhead to open its menu.
|
[edit] Object Name |
"Object Name" refers to the name that you give to an object |
You can give any object in your Trainz World an identifying name. In some cases a name is vital for AI and session operations, in other cases it will be needed as a display feature - for example: to be shown on a station nameboard. You must have the object (or objects) selected for this option to be available. If more than one object has been selected then only the last object (the one with the Context Icon) will be affected |
|
|
[edit] Position Info and Controls |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the position data to be shown and edited. Open up the position data by a Left Click on its Pos: arrowhead icon.
The position of the selected object (or the last object if more than one is selected) is shown in the x, y and z text boxes. These values can be edited to move the object or objects to a new position but CARE will be needed.
|
[edit] Rotation Info and Controls |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the rotation data to be shown and edited. Open up the rotation data by a Left Click on its Rot: arrowhead icon.
The rotational orientation of the selected object (or the last object if more than one is selected) is shown in the r:, p: and y: text boxes (the letters stand for Roll, Pitch and Yaw). These values can be edited to rotate the object or objects in 3D space BUT not all objects can be rotated in certain directions.
|
|
[edit] Layer Info and Controls |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the layer data to be shown and edited. Open up the layer data by a Left Click on its Layer: arrowhead icon. |
|
For a single selected object | ||||||||||||||||||||||
This will show the:-
|

[edit] Assigning Objects to a Different Layer |
The Active Layer is the layer used by the Placement Tool when objects are added to your Trainz World. |
A selected object or group of selected objects can be assigned to a different layer. If multiple objects have been selected then they do not have to all be in the same layer.
|
|
|
|
[edit] Assigning Objects to a Binding Layer |
The Binding Layer, or Bound Layer as it is also called, is a tool used in the development of your Trainz World. It allows you to temporarily assign an object to a second layer while it is still in its original layer. The object will then take on the properties (Locked or Unlocked, Hidden or Visible) of both layers. |

As an example, the image below shows what you will see for a single object that has had:- | |||||||||

[edit] The Filter Palette |
This is a Surveyor Only palette |
|
The Filter Palette made its appearence in Trainz in the July 2024 quarterly update to Trainz Plus and in TRS22PE SP4.
This palette is used to:- | |
search the installed assets to provide asset lists for the tools in the Tools Palette | |
in Trainz Plus bulk replace objects in your Trainz World with assets selected from the Assets Palette |
The Filter Palette has three parts. Each is explained in the following sections:-
|
[edit] Filter Actions |
The Filter Actions control how the Filter Selections affect the visibility and accessability of objects in your Trainz World |
The Filter Actions drop down list controls how the filters are applied. To open the list Left Click on the drop down box or on the double arrows on its right. | ||||||||||
The top drop down box will provide four actions:-
|
|
These actions will affect the display and selection of objects in your Trainz World
|
For examples of how the Filter Actions are used to restrict the selection and/or visibility of objects in a Trainz World see the Trainz Wiki Page How to Use S20 Tools - Narrowing the Search |
[edit] Filter Selections |
The Filter Selections identify the type of assets that will be listed by the filter |
The Filter Selections are activated by either a Left Click on a icon that represents a type of asset (e.g. Trains), or by selecting the type of asset from a drop down list. The drop down box also provides additional selections that are not available in the icons. |
Options: Choose from:-
|
OR |
|
|
Below the icons and selection box the Filter Toggle will report the number of assets that will be present in the list returned by the filter. In this case, selecting Scenery Splines has returned a list containing 4374 assets, but the exact figure will vary between users and installs. |
[edit] Using the Filter and Assets Palettes |
The Filter Palette is always used with the Assets Palette |
|
The image on the left shows the docked Filter and Assets Palettes displaying the filtered list for a Scenery Splines filter. Using the Asset Filter search text box, as described in the Assets Palette section above, the list can be cut down or "refined" by entering a search term.
|
|
[edit] Filter Toggles |
The Filter Toggles are used to identify object to be replaced using the Bulk Asset Replace Tool found in Trainz Plus | |
They can be used to further reduce the size of the Assets Filtered List |
In the Filter Palette open the Filter Toggles by a Left Click on either the small arrowhead on the left of the Enabled box or on the "Enabled" message itself. | |
This will open the Filter Palette Toggle List of assets and a separate Search text box. The Toggle List list is identical to the list shown in the Assets Palette except that each item can be toggled or switched ON or OFF by the check mark on its left. |
|
|
[edit] Bulk Replace Asset Tool (Trainz Plus Only) |
This tool is available in Trainz Plus only | |
It will replace ALL seleted objects with a single selected replacement asset | |
All objects, and its replacement, must be the same Asset Type | |
The replacement will occur throughout the entire route |
|
This tool uses the Filter Toggles described above to identify the object or objects in your Trainz World that will be replaced by a single selected asset. The process involves following a set sequence of steps:-
|
[edit] 1. Check the Compatibility |
|
[edit] 2. Identify the Objects to be Replaced |
|
The Filter Selection and Filter Toggle tools are used to identify the object or objects in the route that you want to replace.
|

|
|
[edit] 3. Disable the Filter Action |
In the Filter Palette select Filter Disabled from the Filter Actions drop down menu.
|
|
[edit] 4. Identify the Replacement Asset |

[edit] The Asset Preview Palette |
This is a Surveyor Only palette |
|
This palette gives a rotating 3D view of an asset that has been selected in the Assets Palette. It works with all assets except effect layers. |
The Asset Preview Palette can be enlarged once it has been undocked. The current Surveyor 2.0 version has no display or control options and lacks the "zoom" and other features found in the Preview function of Content Manager. |
[edit] The Content Packages Palette |
This is a Surveyor Only palette |
|
This palette is mainly intended for content creators, particularly MPS (Multi Player Surveyor) content. It helps manage, prepare and upload to the MPS Server a user created "Content Package". The web site for the TCCP (Trainz Content Creation Program), which is not MPS specific, can be found at info.trainzsimulator.com/tccp |
|
|
The palette lists all the installed Content Packages that have assets available for use. Two special packages are included in the list:-
All Installed Content which covers all offline (non-MPS) content, and | |
multiplayersurveyor which includes all the default content on the live MPS Server |
|
|
[edit] Content Package Details |
|
Some packages will display the message
If details are available then something like the following example will be shown.
|
|
[edit] Testing the Packages |
While you can manually select the packages to be enabled, an easier option may be to let the program perform that task. |
With or without any packages enabled, Left Click on the icon showing 3 horizontal bars (bottom right) to open a menu.
|
|
[edit] Dealing with Unsupported Assets |
If you have manually selected and enabled the packages you want to include and have been shown a list of assets that are not supported by your selection, then you will need to identify the missing packages (if any) and add them manually.
|
||||||||||||||
If you have used the Automatically Enable Required Packages option then any unsupported assets found will not belong to any installed packages. In this case you will need to create a new package using TCCP and add them to that package - see the Trainz Wiki Page at TCCP Content Creation. If that is not a suitable option then you will need to either remove the unsupported assets from the route or replace them with supported assets. |
[edit] Apply and Upload |
Once you have enabled the required packages, you need to prepare the route for uploading to the live MPS Server
|
The next step is to upload the new package to the live MPS Server.
