File Structure

We're moving to a new structure. This process is done one step at a time and not immediate. If you're creating new files, please stick to underscore_naming. It prevents accidentally duplicated files.

!!! note "Docs merging note" Copied from the general information. Not verified.

File Structure

  • Blender:
  • Resources: Here there are all Resources for the track. You could add here your own resources too, but also in a separate unique folder with your Author Name.
    • YourTrackName: In here all special resources for your track are saved. You have to create it.
      • Blender: Here you can store your .blend files.
      • Materials: Here you can store specific materials for your track. (godot materials)
      • Objects: Here you can store your custom meshes as .obj files.
      • RailTypes: If you want to create own rail types, then here you could save them.
      • SignalTypes: If you want to create own signals, then here you cloud save them.
      • Sounds: Here you can store all sound files, which you need for your track. For example platforms announcments...
      • Textures: In here you can store Images, Textures (.png recommended) which you maybe wanna use in your materials.
    • (Basic: In here many assets are saved which you can use in for your own track. The License of this folder is CC0 (Public Domain)).
      • ...
  • Trains: Here all trains are stored. Every special train his own train folder. Theoretical there some derivates of the train could be stored there too.
  • Worlds: Here all Tracks are stored. Per track there should be a unique folder.
  • addons: In there is the magic of Libre TrainSim. There are modules like Rails, Signals, but also the addons for Godot saved. Never change a script or a file in there

What happens if my addon would overwrite an existing file later?: Your "changed" file won't be effective -> That makes it easier, when a new version of Libre TrainSim comes out, that your content will run too through it.

File Extensions

  • .gd: Scripts - Written in GDScript
  • .tscn: Scenes (Resouces like a train, a world, or just every other game module in Godot Format)
  • .tres: Material/Shader/...
  • .cfg or .save: Configuration Files, which are automaticly generated by the Libre TrainSim tools, they are very important. In it chunks, scenario information and more is stored.
