Latest revision as of 20:39, 22 November 2023
The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19, Trainz Plus and TRS22.
|
|
[edit] What is the Session Editor |
 |
 |
 |
|
| In TANE the Session Editor is found in the Surveyor Main Menu. In TRS19 and later versions it is in the Surveyor Edit Menu. In either case select the Edit Session option from the menu.
|
 |
|
||||||||||||||||
 |
Rules can be grouped together into lists for convenience (e.g. all the Rules that set signals at the start of the Session) or because they depend on a particular event (e.g. a time, a train arriving at a set point, a wagon being loaded, etc).
|
[edit] The "Button Bar" |
|
 |
|
|
At the bottom of the Session Editor is the "button Bar".
 |
|
||||||||||||
|
 |
Left Click to Accept your edits and close the Session Editor |  |
Left Click to Cancel your edits and close the Session Editor |
Rule Popup Menu
| As an alternative to using the Button Bar Right Click on a Rule in the Session Editor to open its options menu. Some of the options are the same as those found on the Button Bar |
 |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||
[edit] Adding Rules to Sessions |
|
|
|
|
 |
Only rules that have been installed in your copy of Trainz can be added to a Session. Many rules are available on the DLS for downloading. |
|
There is a extensive (but incomplete) catalogue of rules, built-in and available for download, at  Session Rules List (Alphabetical) |
| Steps: To add a Rule to the Session Editor:- | ||||||||||
 |
Left Click on the Add button. The rule will be inserted below any currently selected (highlighted) rule or at the end of the list if there is no selected rule
|
|||||||||
 |
A new window showing all the installed and available rules will appear.
|
|||||||||
[edit] Copying Rules Between Sessions |
|
|
|
|
|
Rules can be copied between Sessions (with some restrictions) |
| The Copy and Paste commands can be used to copy configured rules from one session to another. This saves you having to reenter the same data sets, such as driver commands, in each session. |
|
||||||||||||
|
||||
|
[edit] Unified Driver Surveyor Interface (UDS) |
|
|
|
|
TRS19 Platinum Edition and later Trainz versions including Trainz Plus have a Unified Driver Surveyor (UDS) which allows you to switch seamlessly between Driver and Surveyor modes. The UDS allows an edited Session to be continued without having to restart it from the beginning. This includes editing the Session Editor on an active Session where some of the Rules may have already been completed or others have started. To allow for this additional features have been added to the Trainz versions with the UDS interface. |
|
 |
At the bottom of the Session Editor is a new button, Restart All Rules . This will reset or restart ALL rules in the Session. |
 |
Some rules, as shown in the screen shot above, have the label (complete was-complete) after the rule name. This indicates that the rule has already been completed. These rules can be individually restarted by a Right Click on the rule and selecting the Reset option from the pop up menu. This will change the rule status to (paused). |
| When the Driver Mode is selected again, all the reset or (paused) rules will be restarted. | |
 |
