Talk:Trainz

message: While I'm a fan of Trainz as well, the past several major edits to this article violate Wikipedia's contents and standards guidelines to a big degree. Fabartus, almost every single addition you made I had to cut in order to clean-up the article - and it amounted to several entire pages full of bloated advertising-like details. In two instances you added yourself as the citation to a huge tract of information - this should never be done.
There is still more work to be done on this article.
All Wikipedia editors should be familiar with the following articles about what Wikipedia is about, and what articles should be written like.

message: These are stand-alone programs and can also be added to Trainz Simulator 2009. This means that you will not be required to have Trainz Simulator 2009 to use this product, although if you do, it will give you the added bonus of accessing the content in surveyor.
*Trainz Simulator: Classic Cabon City is the newest and most powerful featured add-on for Trainz Classics ever. The wide range of details spread out around a 10qkm area is based upon our new Trainz technology introduced with TC3 and TS2009. Classic Cabon City will redefine the cityscape routes for Trainz and will hit the top list as a "must have" item for rail and Trainz enthusiasts.
*Trainz Simulator: Settle and Carlisle, one of the most famous and scenic British main lines at the time of the transition from steam to diesel power. With 10 different types of locomotives and dozens of rolling stock items at your disposal you decide what train to drive. Sessions featuring Anglo-Scottish expresses, local stopping trains, fast freights, heavy mineral, slow pickup goods or trip workings offer a rich variety of services for your enjoyment. The 87 mile route from Skipton to Carlisle over the wild and remote Pennine moors will test your driving skills and ability to keep to schedule. Prototypical topography, track plans, gradients, stations, signal boxes and signal placement, viaducts and tunnels will complete your experience. With 'Trainz Simulator: Settle and Carlisle' you will almost believe that you are there.
*Trainz Simulator: Murchison 2 is a merging of the original Narrow Gauge Murchison logging layout with an extensive Standard Gauge rail network. By incorporating landscape based on actual New Zealand electronic map data with specially developed Nature Series sets (animated waterfalls, river splines, textures, cliff splines, rail ledge splines, rock splines), Murchison 2 takes Trainz to a new level of realism. The result is a photorealistic colonial layout, set in the steam/diesel transition era, that users can submerge themselves in for a complete interactive rail experience.

===Surveyor section===
1) removed This module of the game is appreciated for its simplicity. as it is not NPOV
2) added  Here, the user can shape and 'paint' the landscape, lay tracks, and place buildings, scenery and trains., a description of what Surveyor actually is.
3) removed  Items included with the boxed game are not the only items available for use in the game; Auran offers a download station (or DLS) which hosts over 10000 custom built objects, including decor elements as well as drivable trains. as advertising.  Mention of third party content is added below.
4) general grammar and tidy up.
===Driver section===
1) added a reference to explain the link between Surveyor and Driver (bearing in mind that this is descriptive of all versions of Trainz).
2) general grammar and tidy up.
===Scenarios section===
1) removed Scenarios are being replaced by the more popular session concept which requires less scripting and can be created in 'Surveyor' rather than having to be fully scripted from a third party application. because
a) it's disputable.  Scenarios still exist in the game (as a discrete module, and it is the module which is being described here).
b) it's confusing, and I don't imagine it conveys much meaning to anyone not already familiar with TRS.
===Additional features section===
1)removed the header, as most of that described were not 'Additional features' of the game.
</strike>2)removed the paintshed section - with hindsight, I guess a description of paintshed should be readded, and I will do so.</strike> added a new para on Paintshed.

Just as a sole example (I don't want to edit the main page before asking here) the "driver AI" still doesn't work, even after all these versions, patches and service packs; meaning that the pathfinding makes severe errors, the drivers ignore signals and direction markers, and that blocked trains will "lose their patience" and end up dead-locking each other or become coupled to each other (effectively destroying one driver and his orders) 213.112.249.111 17:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Captain Scarlet: Trainz Driver Edition is NOT just a regional edition. As the review that I linked to clearly explains, TDE is a special cut-down version sold in the USA at a low price and is totally different to the regional editions. It is therefore my opinion that the following entry should be restored please:
*Trainz Driver Edition (TDE) is a cut-down version of TRS2006 sold in the USA. A full review is available on V-Scaler. John259 17:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it is sold in one country only, it is a regional version, the spanish version, translated into spanish and sold in spain only (different publishers for Latin America) also make it a regional version... It's in the name: TDE is a special cut-down version sold in the USA. And when you sourc,e don't use some guy's website , that's advertising, try looking for the publisher's. Basically, there is no need to elaborate on a particular local version or the list, currently incomplete, would become a directory, which Wikipedia is not. Also if I put Trainz 2007 IS sold here, there and there it's because it's been checked, don't go changing it to may be if I made a point to add it, you did ask for a fact check!. Further more, the sim isn't sold solely in the Francophone region of the countries but IN the countries, it also not a local version but a step above previous versions.

message: I fixed two completely incorrect things here: scenarios are availible in Ultimate Trainz Collection and up! TRS2006 does have scenarios accessable from the Driver module.

thread_title:  ALL WRONG! 

message: I don't see much emphasis on scenarios in the current release of Trainz 2006; only a handful are included, and there is no documentation telling you how to create your own. Far more emphasis is placed on sessions.
Would it be correct to state that Auran want route creators to concentrate on sessions, and that scenario support is only included for backwards compatibility with earlier versions of Trainz? 217.155.20.163 22:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scenarios deprecated (replaced by sessions)? 

message: May I ask, who said this?
"A version for Mac OS X is in the testing phase as of April 2006. Auran recently told one of the Trainz community members that development on the Mac version has been suspended and will not be released."
The truth to that fact is that no one is allowed to comment on that sort of thing as all of us on the beta team are under a strict NDA, which needs to be ahered to at all times.
Therefore, the statement is nor correct or incorrect and I recommend it is removed until AURAN confirm whichever case it is.

thread_title:  Recent Vandalism 

message: I think that this article has needed cleanup for some time now, but I have finally gotten around to working on it. Here is a link to the diff, and below are some details on what I have done:
*Cleaned up the introduction from the mess that it was before, and also cleaned up the infobox, including changing the infobox from  to . See the diff. I still need to upload some Trainz box art to use in the infobox in place of the screenshot; I will move the screenshot to the article somewhere, perhaps the new "Overview" section.
*Nuked the "Overview" section, as it was really pretty much nothing more than a personal essay that read like an advertisement (not to mention the poor grammar), and made the "Concept" section the new "Overview" section, which is really a better name to summarize what the section contains, in my opinion. I also removed the "In-game modules" section heading from much of the text of this section. Maybe I should do likewise for the "External modules" section heading, or maybe I should add back the "In-game modules" section; that is something to think about. The content of these sections was also cleaned up.
*"Version History" section: Titles of the sub-sections of this section have been made italic where appropriate, and section contents have been cleaned up.
**What was mentioned in the "Regional versions" section is now mentioned in better places in the article: The mention of TS2010 being released as Trainz Railroader 2010: Engineers Edition is now in the section for TS2010, where it belongs, and the information on Trainz Driver has been put in a new sub-section of the section for TRS2006.
**The information on the add-on packs for TS2009 has been put in a sub-section of the section for TS2009. This information has been cleaned up some, including changing the descriptions for a couple of the add-on packs that mostly sounded like advertising and were worded as if they had been made by the makers of the add-on routes (and they may very well had been).
**The sections for Trainz Community Edition and Trainz Retail Edition have been made sub-sections of the Trainz section. I do not think that I did much cleanup (if any) on the contents of these, so that still needs to be done.
**The section for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2007 has been made a sub-section of the section for TRS2006.
*The external link for the Trainz official website has been changed from http://www.auran.com/trainz/ (which is from the days before TRS2004) to what appears to be the current website, http://www.trainzportal.com/.
The article still needs work, and references need to be added and removed as needed also (the article seems to be sparse on sources), but I believe that this cleanup that I have done is a big improvement over the previous messy version. After the work I did on this, etc., I think that a break is due from working on it right now. :-)

replies: text: OK thanks anyway. BTW, If any good content comes up about the decline, Please add something. If you look at the Need For Speed series article, you can find info about its decline. And sorry about the Amazon thing, I thought it would be fine. Again, if any good content comes up regarding this subject, please add it, and thanks anyway. 76.0.99.63 (talk) 01:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
