to name just a few. |
In TANE the Session Editor is found in the Surveyor Main Menu. In TRS19 and Trainz Plus it has been moved to the Surveyor Edit Menu. In either case select Edit Session from the menu.
When loaded, the Session Editor will show all the Rules that have been added to the Session. If you have just opened the Editor on a Route without a Session then it will show a very basic set of Rules. The Editor will allow you to add additional Rules, and delete or edit those shown. Links to extensive lists of Rules that are built into Trainz or available on the DLS can be found at the end of this document.

Warning: | |
The Cut, Copy and Paste operations will NOT correctly copy ALL the settings in some rules, for example the Navigation Display Rule. It is a good idea to check the settings of each rule that you paste into the Session Editor |
Copying the Driver Setup Rule: The Driver Setup Rule can be copied from one Session to another using the method described above, but there are some conditions that must be met for this to work.

Examples of Using the Session Editor
Wiki pages that show examples of using the Session Editor to solve particular problems or to carry out particular tasks can be found at the following links:-
Trainz Plus and TRS19 Platinum Edition
Trainz Plus and TRS19 Platinum Edition have the ability to edit saved Driver Games in Surveyor and allowing the edited game to be continued without having to restart the entire Session. This includes using the Session Editor on an active Driver Game Session where some of the Rules may have already been completed and others partially completed. To allow for these possibilities, additional features have been added to the Session Editor in the Plus version.
- Each Rule has a status indication such as complete, was-complete, paused
- A new Button Bar tool has been added. Click to restart ALL the Session Rules
