Talk:Trainz/refs



Purpose
This associated index page is a master  Table of Contents  page for reference material relocated into Trainz Wikibook Appendicyclopdeia pages whilst overhauling the dated Trainz 'beast', which was begun systematically in March 2014. Other Volumes are being created with materials on content and operations and split into other volumes...
 * Trainz/AM&C (Trainz Asset Management and Creation (TA),
 * Trainz/Content Creation (TC)
 * Trainz which will be slanted to introductory Trainz and General Trainz knowledge topics, whereas the Trainz AM&C deals with Tyro class, Introductory class, or slightly advanced topics such as . TC intermediate and advanced Content Creation information and tutorials whilst TR are select excerpts of the uncopyrighted TrainzWiki so under the thumb of the N3V programmers. Unlike that source material, the version here is expected to contain ample examples, explanatory prose, including historical older forms and formats and other such materials which aid understanding, ease learning curves and speed mastery of the many topics in Trainz.

There are currently three glossaries to aid understanding of topics in this Trainz Book Volume


 * Glossary
 * Steam locomotive components and a template suite developed in the last few weeks to ease writing and linking Trainz Topics. See, TA, TC, TG, TR, Admin and Templates for starters if you wish to assist in writing understandable aids to other less experienced Trainzers. Three are also templates to license images put on the Mediawiki.commons, and others to consistently categorize pages of these volumes.

Organization and conventions

 * for contributors, these conventions
 * Excepting quotes around tag or container names in the N3V developers wiki, use the same case and titles as used therein, but for tags, add the word 'tag' (singular -- See mode table at bottom of TR) if the page does not have such suffixes.
 * This references has sister-levels, Kinds, containers, tags, and references (as a catch-all group. The later will hold more generalized formats, data references, config.txt files, etc. discussions. the first three specialize to the types as indicated.


 * Make sure to enter the source page in for proper C-C-by-S-A licensing notice and cross linking. Multiple word titles as in a url should contain underscores NEVER spaces between words, or links won't work. (See Plain link or N3V for more on that.)
 * Always remember the mission is to present clear how to, unlike the N3V wiki, so write and explain, elaborate as necessary to assist newbie and intermediate Trainzers gain understanding and mastery.

Place full up example pages in a 'title-related' sub-page with a title or  for example data types like s are sub-pages of the 'Kinds' page&mdash; a division of this page. So too should you properly place an example of various examples of s while indenting in the TOC table to show the parent-child relationship.


 * note these links above formed as
