Static barriers

 

This Chapter deals with static barriers only. Barriers for moving trains have different rules and are described in another chapter.

 

The name of these objects is Barrnlll. Here n=1 to 4 fixes the number of rails, lll describes the length in m. So Barr2200 is a dual track barrier of 200m length. The following example shows Barr1200 called with parameters: %6 = 3, %7 = 20, %8 = 3, %9 = 2.

 

All static barriers are called with the same parameters:

Parameter Value Meaning
%1   Geographical width
%2   Geographical Length
%3 0 Rail is placed on the surface of the FS terrain.
  Unequal 0 Absolute altitude of the rail above sea level in m
%4 0.250 Scale. Should always be 0.250.
%5 Orientation Orientation of the rail on the terrain (0 = south-north direction)
%6 0-7 Wires, Pylons and lamps:

0 no wires, no night illumination

1 wires, no night illumination

2 wires, simple pylons, no night illumination

3 wires, massive pylons, no night illumination

4 wires, massive pylons, lamps, night illumination for FS2000

5 wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000

6 no wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000

7 no wires, pylons with lamps, night illumination for FS2000

%7   Width of the street in 50 cm units. So 20 means a 10 m wide road. The roads in the FS scenery are typically very wide to make them visible from great altitudes.
%8   Type of barrier:

1 = road only

2 = road and signs

3 = road, signs, and closed barrier

4 = road, signs, and open barrier

%9 0-105 Embankment color

0: No embankment

1-FF: FS color

100-104: Texture

105: Seasonal texture

%10   Range in m

Rail is visible if within range. Typical value is 7000.

The last digit is used to encode the rail texture.

 

The following static barriers are supplied with this distribution:

Length/Width Single Dual Triple Quad
50 m Barr1050 Barr2050 Barr3050 Barr4050
100 m* Barr1100 Barr2100 Barr3100 Barr4100
200 m Barr1200 Barr2200 Barr3200 Barr4200

 * Can only be called via the user defined rails dialog.

Hints:

The height of the two end of the static barriers above reference point is 1 unit = 25 cm.
