There are two settings in the Edit ranges of track properties window. The first defines if it is electrified, the second defines whether to...
Hi everyone, After my not-so-successful attempt with the Wherry Lines, I want to start something new. This time, I'm looking at Merseyrail. But I...
Thank you! I do like route building process and I'd be glad to create something.
It's more than just a guess. It's unofficial, but regardless, when someone writes something like that to you, whether you want to or not, you...
Now, to some news that’s not so easy for me to share. This will probably be my last post, as I’ve decided to stop work on the route. It looks...
[ATTACH] this guy also deserve some praise I think. My personal favorite)
[ATTACH] Of course, the station [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It's not 100% finished. Requires some work with normal maps, but already...
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I posted any updates. I took a week off during which I didn’t work in the editor at all, so this post got a...
Thanks! I'll try it this way. DTG Jamie I hope you don’t mind me tagging you here. I’m trying to reach DTG regarding third-party development and...
The video must be super useful, thank you for sharing. I think I’ll have a lot to digest soon.
[SPOILER] Thank you! Much appreciated.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Roads, pavements and level crossing defenitely need more attention and decals:) But I like the junction box and...
Thanks everyone for the kind words. The buildings are mostly the work of the 3D artist — I just stood over his shoulder saying “doesn’t look...
[ATTACH]
Does anyone have an idea how to create custom signals? None of the available signals fit into the route, so I have to create my own. I have no...
Hi everyone. I promised to come back with an update on Oulton Broad North. To be honest, I slightly misjudged the amount of time needed, and...
Thanks everyone for such a warm reception. But, please, don't overhype. This is just a tiny peace of a route and I'm still in very early stages of...
Damn! As I said I was missing something very basic. I didn't know I can export like that.... THANK YOU! You saved my day, and I can work on...
Well... I must be an idiot because I don't see how, the same goes to the tracks. I followed the tutorial video to the point where track section...
So I have a question. I created a platform inside the editor, but I can't figure out how to export it as a single mesh? Tracks give me an option...
The thing with the foliage is that master materials are hidden in public editor. So even if I make custom tree or two it'll be really hard for me...
Hi everyone. I wanted to share the progress of my work. I’ve spent quite a lot of time selecting landscape materials — and I’ll probably spend...
Maybe he'd like to share the knowledge then)
I have the same problem and I don't have an answer. Have you found it out by now?
Hi everyone, I’ve started working on the Wherry Lines route (Norwich – Great Yarmouth – Lowestoft). I’m still not fully sure about the time period...
Maybe I'll try creating the tile in another route and swap it in.
Thanks! And that sucks.. I was able to recreate the tile. The problem is that the LIDAR data isn't applied onto it. When I hit "Apply Lidar Data"...
I keep testing my solution. The only drawback I see is that recreated LandscapeTile is ignored by and invisible in Content Browser when the...
So, some exploration and testing on another route shows that if I delete related Landscape Tile from the Tiles folder I am able to recrete it in...
[ATTACH] I accidentially deleted landscape proxy tile. Is there a way to restore it? I tried route building mode and, although, it shows creating...
Eh, I found it after restarting the Editor...
Is it me or Absolute World Position isn't available in MaterialFunctions in PC Editor? If so, how do you guys manage adding variations to your...
Not sure I got it right. So, I have to create a spline that follows the track and export it? Sorry if my questions sound stupid, I’m getting a...
Very interesting and useful discussion. Can someone share an idea for creating curved station. I don’t see how can I export my section of rails...
No worries. Recreated the whole level. Lost 50 miles of track but learned few valuable lessons.
Can i delete map tiles and regenerate them, won't I loose track data because of that?
I played with landscape and landscape materials. At some point I did something that turned part of my scenery into black tiles. Usually it's...
I've started working on custom route and the route has many field drainage canals. Althouhg I use LIDAR data, the drainage is very narrow and...
bump, I'd like to know the answer too
My pleasure, and good luck with your route. This adventure isn't easy but super enjoyable)
So you answered your own question, and I saw the screenshot from another perspective. The command to generate tiles worked correctly and created...
https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/world-composition-in-unreal-engine That’s the window that shows the whole world, all...
What command do you use to generate tiles? what does UE world composition shows you? have you tried saving the project?
What about gradients? There might be big discrepancy between documented gradient and what LIDAR landscape requires. I do understand that track...
So, when you lay tracks what do you trust more, LIDAR or google maps? Sometimes there is slight offset, especially on embankments. Do you stray...
Thanks for the reply, I feel much better now. Pipeline is something I can do.
The strategy might not be perfect, but I focus on fidelity and looking for ways to do it. If there are 20 unique buildings visible, I want to find...
Thanks everyone for replying. I’ll put some numbers in my question to make it more precise. Let say I have not very dense scenery in general, with...
UE4 Part. This one is pretty simple, though can take most of the time due to landscape tiles generation. Initial setup and folders creation....
OK. I’ve spent a day exploring available tutorials on setting up route scenery layout with LIDAR and want to share this written manual with you....
