Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.2.1]

While you're here VanessaE, it's worth mentioning in passing I'd like to be able to use the crossings from infrastructure/streets/roads/thingy as advtrains components. I did some work on this previously. Would you accept the contribution, including a soft dependency on advtrains, if I get around to...

Re: [Mod] LTC-4000E Traffic Signal Controller [ltc4000e] [gi

Would it be possible to add left and right doghouse signals (and their signs) to the mix of traffic signals you have? (see attached for reference) VanessaE has created the signs (in this mod ) but doghouse signals would require too many nodes to handle all states - by my count, 56 nodes to do both ...

What time is "schedule" and how do I can use it?? You put a start and stop hour (using real-life time, not in-game time) in the start and stop time boxes, and then select a "normal mode" that it will run in outside of those times and a "scheduled mode" for it to run in...

Doesn't seem to be working right - the buttons control the pedestrian signals correctly but the traffic lights (A and C) are wrong - green on walk and always seem to be on. Hardware Setup: Signal Type - streets 1 (VanessaE's Dreambuilder Modpack); Pedestrian Button Type - Normal; both Pedestrian B ...

Re: What does -dirty mean next to the version string?

It just means that the source was edited at some point between the time it was downloaded and compiled. Maybe you (or whoever built it) applied an "unofficial" patch. You can generally safely ignore it.

Re: Bug with glass

It would be a pain to replace stairs using WorldEdit. Checking each node for its definition to decide whether param2 should be cleared or not. For simplyness, request a new command to clear param2 for all nodes in the selected area. Maybe even better than that would be the ability to specify param ...

So you want glass with glitches? That seems rather inconsistent to me.
The "glitches" are just a non-zero param2, which is what it had before you replaced it.

Re: Bug with glass

WorldEdit replaces the node name *only*, and does not touch param2, metadata, etc. when doing //replace. That way, if you replace some rotated nodes with some others that support rotation, they stay rotated. If you want to clear the param2 value for the selected area, you can use this: //luatransfo...
