If you need a bigger ezample with more data. You can look at how I did Shinji's pack. In case you need additions. Phys properties are rearly used and ppl do not really do dynamic DSV about them. 😁

Still adding a track pieces on the fly will be neat 😄

@President of Super Earth 14 hours ago

Yes buddy there is. You can use personal DSV database extension script.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension#how-can-i-make-a-script-which-synchronizes-the-database-of-my-track-pack

Just copy the example and add your tracks there 😉

The second option currently works flawlessly. But registering a prop on the fly will be cool too. Thanks for the idea I have to think about it. Will register it as an issue.

@Trick or treat That second and last one is what I meant, yes. Pretty much just an on the fly registering a track piece from a spawned in prop

Hi Trick,

What amicable timing, Guy Montag actually suggested if this was possible to be used on my extensive road models. Is that something you have to enable/add, or is there a mechanism for someone to do this themselves?

Do you mean the curve interpolation shown here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ws6Jh3JUew
It will make a track curve using small segmentt pieces

Or you need to grab one prop and setup it in-game to become a valid track piece. Then later use it to build your track... Hmm you can use a simple database extension in this case.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension

Or you simply want a panel to fill your track piece in and it will become valid immediately?

Would you be able to add a function that streamlines/automates making props into connectable tracks? I have no clue how complicated that'd be.

Dude come on RTFM. It's up there... ;)

How to turn left??

Destructable trains and rails 😄

This is what Rigs of Rods needs to add to gadgets menu :)

@Retroburger1984 8 hours ago

It depends if the model comes with it. Some do, in others it is a bodygroup I think. Do you mean to make a hologram just to visualize it ?

Can you add ballast to the tracks?

yup its fixed!

@TheGreatWolf14 11 Jul @ 10:12am

The addon has been restored yesterday. Try now

@[Sk$Bh]Trick or treat KID! alright appreciate the response! If a fix does come out or a backed up version do let me know.

@TheGreatWolf14 23 hours ago

Sorry buddy.. ST actually pushed the wrong addon to the stem WS.. It seems you have been updated to the wrong version. Steam backup does not work either so we can revert it. Probably someone from the forum still has a copy

So I seem to be having issues with Track Builder using the 1.0 Classic StevenTechno Roads. Like their connection points are no longer on the road ends. (instead they are on the sides) and any builds i have are all rotated 90 Degrees the other way. Possible fix of solution? I tried verifying, removing, reinstalling, the works

@Gary 6 Jul @ 6:16am 

Left ALT + Mouse scroll Up/Down as "enable end-point mouse scroll" convar is turned on by default

Where is the video @[Sk$Bh]Trick or treat KID! and if i press Left alt idk what happens but smth does and it isnt switching the track

I confirm gwater2 black hole gravity wells support. Cheers!

how do I add my own rails?

@my dearest melpert 31 May @ 12:22am

Yes. However you can easily use DSV and attach whatever you like.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension

are you not able to use models thats arent typically seen in track packs or whatever? im trying to copy the model of tf2's standard gauge track piece but it refuses to copy

@Gary 13 hours ago

Check out the "Manual and troubleshooting" section in the description above. I have a dedicated video which explains is very good 👍

how do I rotate it? Like I have a curve and Im trying to attach a switch track but it always snaps to 1 side only

@7H3_HuN73R 7 Apr @ 8:09pm

Try the manual and troubleshooting above. Check out the first option 😉

how to invert the direction?

@osha 7 hours ago

In case the piece is a scripted entity piece then yes. Otherwise you mist assemble it yourself. Please follow the link below

https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool#how-can-i-use-switchers--i-cant-seem-to-make-them-work

can this make functional switches?

So I assume you did not change the working mode to turn/curve
Please try the following video. It is dedicated to curving

So hard to master but probably my favorite mod ever. i love your work! And trains, of course.

That's actually pretty good idea. Let me check... But yeah. This is the general interface. However it is recomended to use DSV attachments.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension

Basically you need to create a DB ( portal2_trackassembly_pieces.txt ) and add the prefix ( portal2_ ) to the DSV list ( trackasmlib_dsv.txt )

Here are some examples ( Test's track pack ) :
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/blob/master/data/trackassembly/dsv/Test_s_track_packTRACKASSEMBLY_PIECES.txt
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/blob/master/data/trackassembly/set/trackasmlib_dsv.txt

You can aslo make a script that syncs portal 2 and ship it as a searate addon, just like how Ron, , SligWolf and Grocel did :P

like, find these offsets in them to get them to work

actually im deciding to do it myself and i found what i assume are origin offsets?
PIECES:Record({"models/props_bts/clear_tube_straight.mdl", "#", "#", 2, "", "0.008,0.004,-63.897", " 90,180,180"})
how could i modify these to fit the portal 2 vactubes

on god add portal 2 vactubes

The "Modular dundeons" addon support has been added!

In the GUI there is an option called "Pieces count"
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/master/data/trackassembly/tools/pictures/screenshot.jpg

This value is mapped to the convar "trackassembly_stackcnt" and it default value is 5. U can to click press Mouse 3 ( mouse scroll wheel ) to set the parameter ti its devault value

@ [Sk$Bh]Trick or treat KID!
How you do you change the the stack value?

@The Skeleton In Your Closet 10 hours ago 

Em. Just do not hold SHIFT while creating a track or just change the "stack count" value to about 10 or so. TA is designed so it will not crash the game. It uses task lists per plater. Every task fraction is executed for every player per tick. This is done so it will not hold the think routine and stack 40 tracks in a single frame.

Is there any way to make it so I doesn't place like 20 tracks at once and almost crash my game when I'm trying to put just one?

Hooray!

1. Yep it is public. You can git clone it
