Short hand for "Locomotive Databank" is LocoDB |
Description
The idea behind the LocoDB is to be able to access all locomotives on all computers with access to the same NAS/Cloud storage.
Even with an offline Rocview it will be able to access the locomotives and check their properties.
Structure
The LocoDB path points to a directory which can be read and write by all users running Rocrail.
Every loco has its own directory named by its ID. Blanks are replaced with underscores; Blanks in IDs are discouraged and not supported.
