KIND: CHUNKY-TRACK

Description

Track and rails for Trains (the common flexi-track) defining the cross section shape and properties of the track. Chunky-track uses a texture file but does not require a 3dsmax or gmax mesh model.


Container Structure

A well formed chunky-track kind has the following container structure:

Additional Tags

Kind Chunky-Track is derived from kind track and shares most of the same tags which are detailed in the KIND TRACK section of this chapter.

grounded
Height in meters for the road to be offset from terrain.
chunky_mesh
within a directory of the same name (ie. "textureName\textureName.texture.txt"). The chunky_mesh value will simply be the name of this directory (ie. "textureName"). Refer to Page 385 for details of the texture file used.
chunky_info
These values (in metres) define the shape of the mesh created for the track. See drawing below:

bendy
Switches how track is bent on corners, set as 1 allows the mesh to be deformed as the spline is bent around corners.
carrate
Defines traffic density on road (minimum seconds between each car generated). 0 = No traffic. Number must be greater than 3 for traffic to flow.
casts_shadows
Toggles whether the shadow model is displayed or not.
endlength
Length in meters of the initiator and terminator models.
isroad
Specifies track is a road with cars, set to 1 for cars to appear on road.
istrack
0 = This is not rail tracks.
1 = This is rail track
length
Length of track segment in meters
repeats
The number of times the mesh is placed between spline points
shadows
Leave as default 0 (unticked box).
