The cloned Official Reference pages with Added details is a separate TOC page. If you wish to contribute to clarifying the obtuseness of the N3V wiki, see Trainz/Project for guidelines or to post a question to Talk:Trainz/Project.   One key expansion we will be having here are Route Tech Manuals, including: an author's guide to both historical reasons he invested so much time and effort into the Trainz K map, a Driver's View Guided Tour, and perhaps most importantly; a detailed list of places and features about likely, possibly, or historic operations on the map written with the point of view (i.e. thinking in depth) about what sorts of things 'another person' would like to know as well (as he, the Creator, does) for writing a session. Both the latter guides are to let the most people take advantage of the map, with the most fun. There are several advantages of an online map tech manual: Firstly, it's online and available by any communications device with a browser--hence multiple head computers, a nearby laptop or Pad computer or smart phone can access data while in the middle of running Surveyor, or Driver. With an external List of Sessions, each can be added to an index listing Sessions on the Route's Map on the DLS without any need for reusing or over using naming terms. When used, this index will support locating sessions for the maps Creator. While newer Trainz releases allow for longer names in menus and there were no limits to those in surveyor, there are even in TANE no way to check dependent assets that may reside on the DLS—especially those put up by a 3rd party, now that we have the trird Windows release with layers.

If it gets cluttered, we can make a second alphabetical table later. By enumerated types, means tag values are predefined allowed values like category-region or category-class, versus defined type tags such as category-era entries.   References TOC  R  S  E  Page title as Link  Comments R         ACS Text Format    Explains what is and is not allowed in Trainz string data.           Built-In_Products, List of    List of over 1000 commodities you can customize your railcars to carry besides the basic types listed in K product ((Click here)).     E  T   TD category-class tag        E      TD category-region tag               TD name               R Trainz build versions code build number    The unique Software build identifying precisely which release version, Service Packs, and other software updates are installed on a computer install.           item TBDL               item TBDL               Containers    About Trainz Containers and TOC to such.           Hotkeys,CM&CMP   Beginners cheat sheet — Lists Hotkeys active in Content Manager (CM).           R Hotkeys,Drivers   Beginners cheat sheet — Lists Hotkeys active in Trainz Driver.            R HKeys-SUR   Beginners cheat sheet — Lists Hotkeys active in Trainz Surveyor.            R Hotkeys,Drivers   Beginners cheat sheet — Lists Hotkeys active in Trainz Driver           R HKeys-WIN    Lists standard Windows Hotkeys active in Trainz editing, data manipulation and file management.           item TBDL     T         Kinds    All the many KIND types directory and exposition           File types    Listing Article listing Trainz's file types, their extensions, and scope.           item TBDL               Glossary    Comprehensive brief term definitions and reminders ; use TG to link.           item TBDL               item TBDL               item TBDL               x Mouse use    Beginners cheat sheet gives instructions on using mice in the various game modules.           y Notations    Beginners cheat sheet and auxiliary glossary gives Railroading expressions and terminology in the game, forums, and the real world.

References References $Appendixes Page is a split out or spin-off of The reference pages TOC (cover same materials as TrainzOnline, with user adds, clarification and advice), and the intent is to list separately those pages that have parallel topic coverage there, and those unique to the Wikibook or at least much different such pages here. This page was started by copying the other page in its entirety 17 March 2015 and then modified by changes solely in the header and footer templates, before saving. It 1 1 1 References
