Yamce RailMan

---

RailMan scans your region files for your rail lines.

• Open the RailMan dialog with the button.
• Check Draw Rail Lines to enable RailMan.
• Enter the coordinates of one piece of your rail. When started, RailMan will search all connecting rails from there.
  • If you have a separate track (at least one non-rail block separating it from your other rail lines), enter it in the text editor.
  • RailMan will immediately check to see if that block is a rail.
    • Green check mark for found rail.
    • Red circle for no rail found.
    • Red background on the text if not a valid point
• Click Rail Color to choose a color other than red for your rail lines on the maps.
• Press Scan for Rail Lines to begin searching your region files for rails.
  • Scanning is a multi-threaded background task, one thread per CPU, although it rarely goes above 150% because it is mostly I/O bound. (There is markedly faster throughput with an SSD).
  • Buttons are disabled during the scan process.
  • Summary stats are updated once per second during scan.
• When completed, the rail data will be applied to your MapWall.
• Check Update Minecraft maps to apply the rail data to your in-game maps.
  • The maps with changed data appear with a '*' after their filename in the resource list.
  • Press undo to remove the rail data from your maps.
  • Save the world to write the changes to disk. The next time you start Minecraft, the rail data will be on your maps.
