So I did a thing. (possible breakthrough in route editing)

Unread postby USARailfan » Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:45 pm

So I was bored and decided to electrify the RWA route (Don't ask why) but ran into a problem, there was no CatenaryHeight line in the TrackRules bin. So out of curiosity I copy and pasted said line from the NJC route into the RWA one and it worked! I guess I found a way to electrify any track/track rule so you don't have to use the NYNH or NJC tracks for your electrified route!

**EDIT** This will NOT electrify the route, just adds the CatenaryHeight feature to the track rule, to electrify you need to change the Electrification line in the bin file to this,
Code: Select all
<Electrification d:type="cDeltaString">OverheadWires</Electrification>
or to whatever electrification you want to use.

ALSO for clarification, the code you need to add to the bin is:
Code: Select all
<CatenaryHeight d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000001A40" d:precision="string">6.5</CatenaryHeight>


This needs to be placed in between these two lines:
Code: Select all
<ParallelDistance d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000004033331140" d:precision="string">4.3</ParallelDistance>
         <MainLineTrackLimits>

So that it looks like this:
Code: Select all
<ParallelDistance d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000004033331140" d:precision="string">4.3</ParallelDistance>
         <CatenaryHeight d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000001A40" d:precision="string">6.5</CatenaryHeight>
         <MainLineTrackLimits>

Hope this helps!

So did that action electrify the whole line without having to do it manually in editor??

No, but thanks for reminding me! I'll make an edit right now.
