KI und Trainz Tipp

    Ich finde, dass es oft zeitaufwändig ist, in verschiedenen Trainz-Foren nach Lösungen zu suchen, wenn man ein Problem hat.

    In letzter Zeit habe ich begonnen, KI für diese Suche zu verwenden, und ich bin erstaunt über die guten Ergebnisse.
    Ich habe Googles KI namens Gemini benutzt und kann euch nur empfehlen, es auch mal zu versuchen.

    Hallo Morten, ....Danke für den Hinweis.

    Kann man da auf Deutsch suchen, um dann auch englische Hinweise zu finden (die man dann automatisch übersetzt bekommt auf Deutsch in Google oder Gemini)

    Oder erzeugen Suchen auf englisch nur Suchergebnisse auf englischsprachigen Seiten ......und Suchen auf Deutsch nur Ergebnisse von Originalseiten die ebenfalls auf Deutsch sind? Die Frage ist, kann GEMINI mehrsprachig suchen, ...da es oft auch gute Hinweise auf französisch gibt, oder von der grossen TRIANZ Usergemeinde in Indonessien, oder Russland, etc., etc.

    Interessant wäre natürlich wenn so KI sprachenübergrteifend nach Antworten sucht im Internet und die Antwort dann in meiner Mutterspracher erfolgt.

    Kannst Du ein wenig Infos aus deiner Praxis geben, worauf man da achten muss und wie das sprachlich ist in der Praxis.

    Hallo Chris

    Hier ist, was Gemini Hilfe sagt

    “Die Gemini Web-App verwendet die Sprache, die in Ihren Browser- oder Geräteeinstellungen festgelegt ist."

    Abgesehen von der Suche nach Trainz-Problemen benutze ich jetzt Gemini anstelle von Google Search. Das liefert oft eine schnellere und bessere Antwort.

    Aber du kannst es selbst probieren🙂

    Hier ist ein Beispiel für eine Antwort auf eine Suche “Trainz cannot delete water”

    You're encountering a common issue in Trainz regarding water, especially with newer versions like TRS19 and TRS22. The way water is handled has evolved, and there are two main types you might be dealing with:

    1. Legacy Water: This is the older system where water is placed on a grid-by-grid basis. You can add and delete it directly.
    2. Water Effect Layers: This is a newer, more flexible system where water is treated as an "effect layer" that covers the entire route by default, usually just below the terrain surface (often at 0m or even -10m). This can be a bit more challenging to remove completely if it appears unexpectedly.

    Here's how to approach removing water in Trainz, depending on which type you're encountering:

    1. Removing "Legacy" Water (using Topology Tools):

    If you've manually added water using the "Add Water" tool, you can usually remove it with the "Remove Water" tool.1

    • Go to the Topology Tab (F1).
    • Look for "Remove Water" (Hotkey: Q). Click on this tool.
    • Click on the water panels you want to delete.

    2. Dealing with Unwanted Water Effect Layers (More Common in Newer Trainz Versions):

    This is often the case when water appears where you don't expect it, especially after lowering terrain or smoothing ground.

    • Understanding the "Hidden" Water Layer: In newer Trainz versions (TRS19, TRS22), there's often a water effect layer that exists by default just below the ground surface. When you lower terrain, you can expose this water.
    • Methods to Address Water Effect Layers:
      • Lowering the Water Effect Layer: This is often the most effective way to "remove" unwanted water from a water effect layer without deleting the entire layer.
        • Go to the Topology Tab (F1) and then click on "Advanced" to expand the menu.
        • Look for "Effect Layers" or "Water Effect Layer" options. You may need to select the specific water effect layer if you have multiple.
        • Use the "Height Down" (D) or "Set Height" (H) tools.
          • With "Height Down," you can lower the water's height in specific areas. Adjust the radius and sensitivity as needed.
          • With "Set Height," you can enter a very low negative value (e.g., -50m, -200m) and then "paint" over the unwanted water to push it far below the ground. This effectively hides it.
      • Deleting the Water Effect Layer (Use with Caution!): If you don't need any water on your route, you might be able to delete the entire water effect layer.
        • Go to "Edit Effect Layers" (usually found under Tools or a similar menu).
        • Select the water layer(s) from the list.
        • Click the "DELETE" button.
        • Confirm the deletion.
        • Important Note: Make sure you back up your route before attempting this, as it might have unintended consequences if other parts of your route rely on that water layer.
      • Adjusting Default Water Height: In some Trainz versions, you can adjust the default height of the water effect layer.2

        • In Surveyor 2.0 (TRS22), go to the left side under "Effect Layers," right-click on your water layer, and select "Edit Effect." There might be a "Default Level" setting you can adjust to a very low negative value.

    Common Scenarios and Tips:

    • Water Appearing When Smoothing: This is a common issue when smoothing terrain, as it can inadvertently dip below the hidden water layer. Use the techniques above to either lower the water or raise the ground.
    • Jagged Water Edges: Use "Get Height" (G) on the land next to the water, then "Use Height" (H) and drag your cursor along the jagged edges to smooth them out.
    • Backup Your Route: Always, always, ALWAYS save a backup of your route before making significant changes to terrain or water, especially when dealing with effect layers.

    If you're still having trouble, providing more details about your Trainz version (e.g., TRS19, TRS22, TANE) and the specific behavior you're seeing can help narrow down the solution.
