Smr Simple!

I was loooking through the Track folder and found I was able to create a new end of track marker. Io install the marker place the dds file in C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\Assets\Track and allow the overwrite. I will make limestone ballast and cement tie versions of track later.

To install one of these track types place the dds file in C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\Assets\Track and allow the overwrite. These will effect all of your scenarios adding one track texture and a new end of track marker.

Wouldn't they work just as well in the customer assets' folder?

Makes a big difference on how dark the track is! Thanks Thomas.

I don't know. Try placing the texture in the customer assets folder.

If you want any other types of track i'll make some. Does anyone want a Canadian Pacific end of track marker?

Don't think that will work, all the tracks are in the program section. Make sure you back up your original before over writing, like add it to a zip file.

Cement and Cement with sand ballast. Directions are the same.

That's true... , but if you change this track with a new model, that is can be affect to all maps, If I'm not wrong you can't use several tracks model in this game, only one track model allowed in this game

Notes...you not need to overwrite original track, only just put your new track in CustomAssets Folder with the same NIF name by original track.

It works great. In my CIC map folders in all my maps, I have a folder called Assets. That is where I place all my maps content.

I just used your wood and limestone by just placing the new DDS file into the Assets folder...started the CIC map and the track looks great. Then the track will revert back to their games default when they play any another game map. So now track can be map specific. this is awesome ... It doesn't need to be in custom assets either...just with your maps content. I tried this way back, but before we were making maps with "global" files, and it would change the track for the whole game...but now that I make all my maps CIC style, this adds to the uniqueness of any map...good work...thanks. I am using it on my new beta map we are testing right now.

EDIT///...wow...this has me going. I have changed the game arrows to red, I am looking for that stupid white quadrangle so I can change it to a dark color for the holiday maps. This works for "any" of the games DDS files for menu bars and such. Even the menu bars and browsers can be changed this way...better have a self contained map though or it will change everything in game and not just one map. Sam and CIC maps can use this type file replacement without bothering other game content.

Glad you like the track. I am currently working on a new signal which looks more American. If you unpack the signals0 FPK, the last signal is not used in the game. It seems to have all of the nifs and kfm files so it just needs renaming. I will post a pic of it in Nifskope later. I am also thinking of making all of the arrows and tools transparrent so you can see more of the game without removing them.

Here is that signal.

Here is some winter track.

Legs are missing from the "cement-sand" stop board.
