Any good locomotive scripting tutorials?

[Trainfan1292]

I was wondering if there were any tutorials on how to script to make a train move and add physics, sound, cab, etc to a locomotive shell in open rails. Any help is appreciated!

I don't know of a tutorial but there are the MSTS Tech Docs located on the MSTS Install CD one containing Engine and Wag file construction and variables.
You can unpack the files on the disk using WinZip or WinRar.
I have a copy of the eng & wag .doc files but not sure if it's ok to attach them to a post.

There is no Copyright information shown in the properties of the following list of files:

Eng_and_wag_file_reference_guide.doc
Eng_and_wag_file_reference_guidev2.doc
How to Make Cab Bitmaps.doc
How to Make Passenger Views.doc
How_To_Specify_Lights.doc

Mods . . . . ok to attach or not?

Yep, I'm good with that if you can make them PDF's, so there's no question over the authorship.

Hi Eric,

These documents were authored by KUJU (obvious) but I will try to convert them to PDF's if you say it's ok.
Plan is to Zip them into a single zip and attach to a post.
Thanks,

Appreciate that, Vince. I'll add to the file library as well.
