Description |
| kuid <KUID2:86105:15000:0> |
This is the kuid number. Replace the "86105" with
your user number and replace the15000 with a suitable number for
your item. The recommended range for a locomotive is 1-9999. Although
the kuid range is no longer a requirement I still prefer to keep
my numbers within these ranges. The last number represents the
version number for the item. |

This is the name that will show up in Driver. Give the locomotive
a meaningful title but keep it short as possible. This should be
kept the same as the "Username" |

| origin USA |
The original country the locomotive was used or created in. |
| bogey <KUID:-1:100141> |
This is the kuid number of the bogey file that will be used on
the locomotive. I have used one of the default bogey numbers you
can change the number to the bogey you want to use. |
bogey-1-r <KUID:-1:100141> |
This line is only needed if you have more than one type of bogey
or if you rotated the attachment point. The -r means that the animation
is reversed. |

This is a description about the locomotive. It can be brief
or very detailed. |
| asset-filename Tutorial |
This is the folder that the meshes and the textures are contained
in.(See previous chapter) |

auto-create 1
}
shadow
{
mesh Tutorial_shadow/Tutorial_shadow.im
}
}
|
This is the mesh table. In this table you can reference items
such as animation and other attachments. Animated items can also
be controlled via the use of a script.
This is also where you add coronas and set up the night mode mesh
etc. |

smoke_fastlife 0.8
smoke_height 1.7
smoke_fastspeed 1.6 |
This is the settings for the smoke attachment. This method of
attaching smoke is no longer recommended and the new system is
to use the "Twinkles" program to create the effects and
attach them in the same way that a mesh object is attached. |

This setting is for previous versions that you want to obsolete. |
