Trainz.de intern

Ever since I took over TrainzDepot, copyright has been a topic that couldn't be avoided.

Some people simply don't care, others don't realize that a violation of it can have serious consequences.

A conversation with a (former) site owner colleague, who had to be liable because of a corresponding violation by a user - and as a consequence had to close the site completely - now makes me address this topic again.

Please make sure to upload only your own content or content that you have explicit…

As already mentioned elsewhere, we are currently looking for reinforcement for the Trainz.de team.

You might have noticed that the actuality and range of news on the homepage is rather limited, although there would be enough to report.

The reason is that some team members are no longer active, others are currently very busy due to work, school, family or similar.

For this reason we would be grateful if you would support us as a team member especially in the following areas:

Writing or proofreading…

In the topic "Adventskalender entfällt / Verstärkung gesucht" I have already written,

that there will be no regular advent calendar this year.


Because we were quite late with the planning and there were not enough messages to fill the advent calendar, we have decided not to use the advent calendar plugin this year, empty doors are not nice.


To give content creators the possibility to offer content in advent calendar style, I created a forum thread that can help out a bit:

Improvisierter…

Hello dear Trainzers,

after the call for new pictures for our banner was so successful, we would like to bring (back) a (old) new tradition on Trainz.de together with you. The old hands among you surely still know our screenshot contest from the Trainzdepot.

For everyone else here is the idea behind it: Every month there is a theme to which matching pictures from Trainz can be submitted, all users then have a few days to rate them and towards the end of each month we then choose the screenshot of…

The time has come, from today you can open doors on the advent calendar!
We are trying out a new software for this this year, you can find it here or if you click on Home-Icon > "Advent Calendar" in the navigation bar above.

By clicking on the respective day you can see what is hidden behind it. However, not all doors will contain something, unfortunately you might find some doors to be empty as we unfortunately only have a limited amount of content.

Your TrainzDE team wishes you a pleasant time…

As the days are getting colder and darker, the Christmas season is approaching quickly.


Of course, this year is a lot different than usual and for most of us the festival will probably be far less festive than in previous years. Nevertheless, we want to maintain something that is almost a tradition, the annual TrainzDE Advent calendar.

We know that the announcement is a little later than usual this year, but we still want to give all the hard-working content creators among us the opportunity to…

When communicating with other creators it is sometimes nessescary to discuss something in privat. The forum software used by us and many other German train simulation related forums, "Woltlab Suite", offers a few useful features for that in its "conversation" system

A few days ago, we a piece of content from our download area was reported for apparently using textures from another game without getting the permission of the original authors who made the discussion. After a bit of back and fourth…

We’ve just made three small changes to our filebase and download area.
As you may have already noticed, we’ve been quite busy over the last days and weeks to manually transfer all the content from the old TrainzDepot website to our filebase here to unite all content in one location. That includes many assets which don’t even work correctly in current Trainz versions.
We have decided to host them regardless of that, since we, as much as you, absolutely hate content suddenly vanishing from the…

Hello everyone,

after long preparations I finally managed to import the forum content of the TrainzDepot and the TrainzDepot archive to Trainz.de.

So we now have a database regarding the forum that goes back to the year 2008.

This would also explain the somewhat longer maintenance break.

Due to the takeover, some (sub-)forums have been added, but there will certainly be adjustments to this in the future.

Old user accounts were not transferred (privacy!), all old posts are not linked to a user…

Dear Trainz.de visitors,

almost unnoticed I have bought and installed an update of the forum software in the last few days. New features are mainly in detail and in the background, for some of the new features you have to make some adjustments.

Visible or relevant changes:

• We will replace the currently used "news system" with the integrated article function in the future, so it should be possible in the future for users to submit news, which will be checked and activated by the moderation.

…

As some of you may have already observed, we changed the process of submitting new content to our download area.

Content uploaded now has to be reviewed by a member of the team before being made available. This is to ensure that all uploads comply with our terms and conditions but also that all uploads appear in a unified scheme.

In order to being made available, a download must have:
- a thumbnail image
- a larger preview image in the description which may be a higher res version of the thumbnail
-…

a warm welcome to Trainz.DE, the new main page of the german Trainz community!

As the Trainz.DE- (and former TrainzDepot-) team we look back onto a long time in the Trainz community.
Most people here (hopefully) still remember the TrainzDepot. The TrainzDepot has changed faces quite a few times in its 16 years of existance but in the middle of january... suddenly all the lights turned off.

We had planned to introduce new things to TrainzDepot for a while, for example we wanted to become more…

Dear users of the TrainzDepot,

after our data loss last week we as the TrainzDepot-Team had to ask outselfes the question, how we’re going to continue from now on. A full restore of the TrainzDepot as it was is unfortunately not possible, at least not one we can use in production again.

In the past we had already planned some changes and improvements, amongst other things we wanted to bring you news from the world of Trainz much quicker than before. Some of that was still in preperation when…

After a interesting 2018 with a new version of Trainz, a year of many discussions and trying out the new features, a year that already saw the first PBR Objects in the advent calendar, we now continue on to a (hopefully) just as intersting and fun 2019.

For the new year we already know about some of the highlights that are currently work in progress. For everyone who missed out on the news, heres a short sum up:
- "Frecciarossa" High speed train for TRS19 by 3DZug
- Final T:ANE Version of the…

Nach einiger Arbeit im Hintergrund ist es nun soweit, wir öffnen unseren Youtube-Kanal für die Öffentlichkeit.

Dort bieten wir Trainz in Videoform, und für jeden ist was dabei. Neben Inhalten für Interessierte Trainzer, wie z.b. Tutorials wollen wir vorallendingen zeigen, was Trainz eigentlich kann. Damit richten wir uns auch an die, die Trainz im Moment vorallendingen von außen beobachten um sich zu einem Kauf oder nicht zu entscheiden.

Unser Spektrum ist somit relativ breit, und auch die,…

After the good feedback we recieved last year it will soon be time again for our TrainzDepot-Advent Calendar!



This means, to celebrate and enjoy the days leading up to christmas, throughout december you will have the chance to open a door every two, three or four days. But unlike most advent calendars, this one won't be filled with chocolate, but with Trainz content!


But wait, every two, three or four?

How often theres a door to open depends on you! Like last year, we will fill our advent…

In this place, i would like to let you know about the last day of registration for the TrainzDepot-Meeting 2018.
After the 20th of July, no registration is possible anymore.


All information about the meeting and the registration could be found here: TD-Treffen Hamburg 2018 (or in the Box on the right).

Wie ihr bestimmt schon mitbekommen habt, wurdet ihr (ggf. erneut) zur Zustimmung zu den Nutzungsbedingungen aufgefordert.
Dies liegt zu einem am gegebenen Anlass, aber auch darin, dass diese wohl bei einer vergangenen Aktualisierung der Foren-Software nicht mit-übernommen wurden, bei der Gelegenheit haben wir die Nutzungsbedingungen auch auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht. Wer die Nutzungsbedingungen nicht akzeptieren möchte, kann das TrainzDepot nicht mehr interaktiv nutzen. Ich stehe bei…
