1) You open the link
2) You scroll down to "Development In A Nutshell" and choose the one you're interested in
3) Click the link and then choose which format you would like to code in. once you open that, you should have "Development In A Nutshell"

Jump to: navigation, search


Many routes, for OpenBVE and BVE alike, are commonly coded in two formats. That is:
 The .CSV Route
The .RW Route

Additionally, you can also learn to use the built-in plugins:
Using ATS
Using ATC

Some people have also created routes using Routebuilder. If you want to try the unsupported graphical (WYSIWYG) route editor, you can do so. We have very limited support for Routebuilder, so if you do plan to use this and have questions, you may or may not recieve answers due to the extremely low amount of developers on BVEStation using it.
 Creating Routes with RouteViewer

Some people have used plugin commands for their routes. The most frequently used plugins are the Oskari plugin and the UK Train System plugin
 Using Oskari's Plugin (OS_ATS1.dll)
Using UK Train System Plugin
That's What The Page Look Like's?? i clicked on route.

I Clicked On The first 2 after using "ATC AND using ATS"  And it said something like this There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related log.

Here ya go:


If you want to use routebuilder, here's a tutorial:
http://www.bvestation.com/forums/index.php?topic=3024.0 (http://www.bvestation.com/forums/index.php?topic=3024.0)

I'm still working on porting the rest of the documentation (hence why some pages don't exist yet), but these are your essential abc's on object, route, and train development. Any questions, feel free to ask. I'll deal with the plugins section once i finish porting those too.

UPDATE: I just added the using ATS and the using ATC tutorials.

Even though most of the developers encourage hand coding, here's where to get Routebuilder:

Please visit, http://www.bvestation.com/devzone.php (http://www.bvestation.com/devzone.php)

I recommend you read the tutorial by Dennis Lance, it is by far the most comprehensive yet most detailed tutorial out there, and is great for beginners.  You will be able to learn the basics, then learn from reference from then on.

If you have any questions regarding any specifics, you can ask here in the forum.

I recommend OpenBVE route editor http://sourceforge.net/projects/obre/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/obre/)

Works like notepad editor, except it will highlight the commands and provide the syntax for the commands) Also there is a goto line.

I have used it quite a bit, but it is still in beta mode and you have to run the one in the Build_Debug directory.

Also I have added to the XML file which gives you help on the commands. Build_Debug\RouteEditor\reference.xml (I can uupload my version upload my version somewhere)

Mine will just crash and refuses to work. Is there any special requirement that is required for this to work? The readme contains no useful information...

It might require Microsoft ". net" to be installed. It looks like the author used Microsoft Visual Studio based on the source files.
