Re: [Mod] Game background music [mpd]

Hi all, After recent reports of copyright issues, I have decided that providing the mod with music included may be too risky. Please be aware that I am republishing the mod without any music, and you will need to add your own background music if you want to use it. Please follow the instructions in ...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.3]

As of now, tank wagons still have the inventory slots as before. The liquid content is completely independent. Good point though.

In basic_trains, I will eventually remove the old-style inventory from the tank wagons.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.2]

Hi everyone, I suppose you all are waiting for news of exciting new features in advtrains. Bad news is that I have become addicted to TechAge and have spent my evenings building powerplants and oil refineries instead of working on advtrains. Good news is that I got fed up with transporting oil by fi...

Re: Questionaire regarding breaking change of internal track connection handling

I think that AdvTrains needs to make some moves to fix some quick easy things that have been sitting stagnant in the mailing list, which has a chilling effect on contribution. new-ks, route programming rework and so on are good projects for the future but they take a long time. Part of good project...

Questionaire regarding breaking change of internal track connection handling

Hi, this is directed to everyone maintaining mods on top of advtrains core. Everyone who is not acquainted with the inner workings of advtrains may skip this . To get forward with implementing a better interlocking route programming system, I'd need to make a breaking change in the way track connect...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.2]

I've also already looked at the async API. As it is now, it will only be of limited value to advtrains. There cannot be any shared state between main thread and worker thread, and the state copies would probably induce even more overhead. One thing I didn't think about yet is the saving, which I mus...

Re: [Mod] Game background music [mpd]

It should work this way. Did you restart minetest after adding the music? Are there any errors in the log (debug.txt)? Simply adding the oggs to the folder is not sufficient because the mod needs to know the length of the audio. Minetest doesn't give this information. Also this way the mod can displ...

Re: [Mod] Means of transport tracking lines [linetrack]

By default, trains collide with slabs and slopes. That requires a patch in the moreblocks mod. Try this patch. Since some time we have the "forgiving collision" setting in advtrains. With this, trains (buses and ferries in this mod) will only collide with nodes that are fully opaque nodes...

The media license is supposed to be CC-BY-SA-3.0. We agreed on using CC-BY-SA-3.0 many years ago. The mention of CC-BY-NC-SA is a residual that I forgot to change.
