Structure of a Trainz Asset
Each item of Trainz content ("an asset") is distributed as a single folder, containing a config.txt file and some number of supporting files and/or folders. Files located in the content folder must obey the Filename character restrictions and should be directly relevant to the asset in question.
Content Types
Each asset built for the Trainz environment follows a preset template, which defines what tags can be included in the config.txt file, what capabilities the asset will have, and how the user can manipulate the asset in-game. The following types of custom content are supported by Trainz:
