Only One Background Picture in eA02SL

Background Picture (width=1600px / height=130px ---You can resize it)

Foreground Picture (optional /free size)

It is very easy to paint a background picture for eA02SL because it's only one!
You can change the background size only in eA02SL. The minimum width is 590pixels, and the minimum height is 130pixels.
You can put a foreground picture in the railroad scene. It is optional. No foreground in default.

Double Background Scrolling System in eM00SL

Vista Picture (width=1600px / height=130px ---You can not resize it in ver.2.0 or earlier)

Background Picture (width=1600px / height=130px ---You can not resize it in ver.2.0 or earlier)

Foreground Picture (optional /width=1600px / height=130px ---You can not resize it in ver.2.0 or earlier)

eM02SL has the double background scrolling system.
You can set on or off the system. If off-system, only one background picture as same as eA02SL.
If on-system, you have to paint two background pictures.
You can put a foreground picture in the railroad scene. It is optional.
Pictures in default is for lift-up rails. It is lifted 38pixels up.

eM00SL has also the background changing system.
You can set on or off the system. It's off in default.
If on-system, you have to paint more pictures.

Multi-Background Scrolling System in eM02

-Far
-Mid
-Near (optional)
-TrackSide
-DisplayArea (Vista is fixed)
Vista Picture (width=1600px / height=130px ---Fixed. You can not resize it)

Far-Background Picture (width=1600px or the divisor of 1600px and repeatable)

Mid-Background Picture (width=1600 - 3200px or the divisor of 1600px and repeatable)

Near-Background Picture (optional /width=1600 - 8000px or the divisor of 1600px and repeatable)


eM02 has Multi-Background Scrolling System.
You can't set off the system. Only Near-background is optional.
It is very important that width pixels of all pictures must be the divisor of 1600pixels and repeatable.
Not easy to paint, but please challenge it!

1600 pixels


Why is the aerial wiring or the pole picture 320pixels width?
This must be also the divisor of 1600px and repeatable.


Rails too?
Yes, the rail picture has 32pixels width. It is also the divisor of 1600px.

Divisor of 1600 :
2 4 8 10 16 25 32 50 64 80 100 160 200 320 400 800

Why 1600pixels?
Because most of displays are under 1600pixels. So I decide that the maxmum width of the Train Kit system is 1600.
Surely there are over 1600px displays, but users of such a big-display are not so many. Only very rich men or professional designers use it, I think.
If over 1600px display, the programs of the Train Kit add a black-curtain on the right out of the railroad scene.

Display Check :
The light green area is your screen, and the dark green area is this window (inner size).

Height of pictures

Most of scenery pictures has 130pixels height.
Only two have different pixels. Rail and Wire (Aerial wiring and catenary).

The height of rail picture is fixed in 9 pixels.

The height of wire picture is fixed in 50 pixels.
You can't change these size.
* In Japanese version, you can use 130px height rail.

Rule of the Filename of Crossing or Signals.

Part Name State Description
Level-Crossing
Alert crossEAB.gif Over the rail Moving Code must be written in Capital, and the suffix must be .gif. Alert-On is the animated GIF.
crossEAF0.gif Before the rail / Open
crossEAF1.gif Before the rail / Closed
crossEAB0.gif Over the rail / Open If "crossingBackAlertOK" is true, use other file names. (eA02SL v2.4 or later)
crossEAB1.gif Over the rail / Closed
Direction dirEA_L.gif from Left The indicator of train direction. It is not necessary to draw the picture of no train. It is fixed to use the spacer picture (dum.gif in controlgif folder).
dirEA_LR.gif Both
dirEA_R.gif from Right
Bar barEAF100.gif Open The moving-code is the number that the bar angle+100. The vertical is 0 degree (code is 100) and the horizon is 90 degree (code is 190).
Angle Step Description
90 degree 2 Toy-like moving.
45 degree 3
30 degree 4
15 degree 7 Real moving (default).
10 degree 10 Smooth moving but it is very hard to draw the bar graphics. And if too many bars, the fast train runs into the crossing before close.
9 degree 11
6 degree 16
