I'm looking for a way to make use of retaining walls.
I saw it once before in a scenario (so i could read the xml-files there),
but i don't know anymore wich scenario...
do you???
is it handled the same way as bridges and/or tunnels???
hope to get an answer here...
ps: an additional question:
when i do a search in windows fe "retaining" and i choose search in document content, why don't i get any results, do you? do i have to enable something for that in windows?
or could i use another program for that?
in that way i could easily search xml files by keywords

<TunnelXMLFile>RRT_Tunnels_US_East.xml</TunnelXMLFile>
<QuayleXMLFile>RRT_Quayle.xml</QuayleXMLFile>
<szMapFileName>map_US_Southwest.tga</szMapFileName>
<szMapThumbnail>map_US_Southwest_thumbnail.dds</szMapThumbnail>
<szSkyBoxName>Sky.nif</szSkyBoxName>
<szShallowWaterColor>92,229,202</szShallowWaterColor>
<szDeepWaterColor>10,74,54</szDeepWaterColor>
<szCubeLightTexture>RRT_Cube_Light_map_128_SW.dds</szCubeLightTexture>
<WallFiles>retaining_wall_wood01</WallFiles>

Yes, i know there's a reference but it seems that they're not used so often, in fact i don't see them anymore, at the moment never...
Do they show up alot in your game? is it maybe a setting on details or so.
if that's the only line, i guess we will have no control on that?!

I've only seen them if the track you are laying is not quite deep enough for a tunnel. Or if there was a tunnel and because of a change in track the ground that was above the tunnel is gone. It's probally in the EXE

Very rarely seen in my case too. No doubt controlled in the executable. I did manage to screen one while playing. I was suprised to see it appear so I took a screenshot. This was while playing around on the multiplayer River Run map.
*Note: While dragging out the track, no wall was being shown that it would be drawn. However, when I clicked to confirm track placement, the wall appeared.
