Thank you for all your hard work on the TrainZ plugin, Paul.
I think I’m doing the export to a *.im file OK.
I have tried creating a config.txt file with notepad as well. Darn if I know what they want even after reading the creators manual.
I think I may be making this harder than it really is.
Once I export the *.im file how do I see it in TrainZ so I can make it part of a route. All I’m trying to do at this time is export a simple cube I’m calling a Train Station just to understand the concept of create,export, import into Tranz, and added it to a route. Without worrying about the boggys and animation at this time.
Below is the config.txt file I created.
My Personal Trainz KUID ID is 215326
This part, I think is correct.
kuid andlt;KUID2:215326:200000:0andgt;
mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh mybaldepot2.im
auto-create 1
}
This part below I really don’t get and the numbers are a wild guess on my part.
kuid-table
{
0 andlt;KUID2:215326:200001:1andgt;
1 andlt;KUID2:215326:200003:3andgt;
}
obsolete-table
{
0andlt;KUID:215326:200005andgt;
}
These items below seem pretty easy to define.

At any rate I’m at the point where I need to import the depot into TrainZ like we do with the consist files in MSTS. I need to import the cube (train station) in TrainZ and I know this can’t be as hard as I’m making it. It would seem to me your plugin probably does the hard part.
I exported the IM file to
C:Program FilesAuranTRS2004WorldCustomstructuremybaldepot2.im
Creating the structure folder myself.
I also created the config.txt file in this sturcture folder. No textures, I just painted a simple cube a solid color. Added a a.limfront cube and a.limback cube to the main cube. My guess is that the front and back cubes were not necessary but I put them in just in case they were needed.
Auran talks about uploading with the Auran TrainZ ‘Upload your new content to the Auran Download Station’ I don’t want to upload a piece of junk that I’m just trying to learn with and understand the process with.
At any rate can you tell me what to do with the IM file.
Thank you for all your efforts
Very Respectfully;
Suffering from information overload, here. But determined to understand this process.
Below is the coplete config.txt file, without comments.
