If you depend on whole modpacks you are doing sth wrong. What if one mod gets removed from the modpack, but you need it? Better list exactly the mods from the modpack you depend on. If you need to distingush between a mod and a modified version of that mod in a modpack, test for something unique thi...

Demo video of test subway system with track section locks and proper signalling.
Trains wait 10 seconds in station and then check every 2 seconds if signal is green.

Version 1.6 Changelog: - New mod: advtrains_luaautomation The long awaited LUA automation features. See the readme in this directory for manual. Note: Code of components is not properly saved! Rails don't work anymore after restart! Will be fixed soon! - Included improved version of itrainmap in mo...

It's easy if you have the bone in the model. Note that you can't set the animation of a model if you set the bone pos of it (or a parent entity, I think). So, if you want to animate the wheels, use attachment. If I don't add any keyframes into the armature for the root bone, it should be left untou...

Krokoschlange: Yes, with set_bone_rotation, but I didn't figure out yet how that works. It's easy if you have the bone in the model.

Krokoschlange: Yes, with set_bone_rotation, but I didn't figure out yet how that works.
gbl08ma: The advanced automation features will contain components that interface to each other through a global LUA environment (sandboxed,of course), exactly as you mentioned

Thank you doomed! but in minetest how do i active animation, for an entity? In Blender, export it to b3d (you need an extra plugin for that!) Write down the start and end frames of your animation. Then, with an entity use self.object:set_animation({x=<start frame>, y=<end frame>}, 15, 0, true) The ...

I have a new little question. Is it possible increase visible range for entities more than ~50 nodes far ? I need ~200 nodes far visible for entity, but experiments with minetest.conf take no effect. Maybe play with these two settings at the same time: active_block_range = 10 active_object_send_ran...

The mentioned code change for the switch trick to work: -- trainlogic.lua, line 261 local gen_front=math.max(train.index, train.detector_old_index) + 2 local gen_back=math.min(train.end_index, train.detector_old_end_index) - 2 Increase both values to 10, so that the lines look like local gen_front=m...

I have a relatively big map where I finally converted all of the tracks to advtrains, here's a shorter video showing ATC rails successfully controlling the arrival and departure of a subway train: https://tny.im/dl/advtrains_atc.mp4 As you can see there's some lag, the wagons flash a bit, etc. but ...

1.5.1 bugfix release
Changelog:
- fix wagon properties not being saved
- limit dtime to prevent trains from moving veerrryyy far in a single server step (that entirely breaks it)

https://youtu.be/e1ZrCUz5Vd4
My first youtube video. Sorry for:
- no sound
- bad text overlays
- lags

1.5 Changelog: - implement wagon properties and seat group access check - fix a server warning about unassigned variable - refill advtrains.detector.on_node every step - reorder train step function(s): - fixed bug that some atc rails were not recognized - saving some extra calculations - integrate ...

How to animate a model in blender: (do this in the default view) Before you start, make sure your model is joined(no separate cubes etc.), if they aren't select them all and click join from the tool panel. Press 't' to change to wireframe mode. Then you'll need to add bones. Add one using the 'crea...

I have a simple mesecon node I want to play sound (looped) when activated The sounds works but I can't get the sounds to stop when its deactivated. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this/what I am doing wrong here? Am I going about this the wrong way? local monochrome, sounds = {}, {} function m...

I will, but later. First: - seating system rewrite (done, but not pushed yet) - wagon properties -> limit seat access - LUA ATC (as separate mod inside modpack) Then: - proper framework for that tunnel mining train as well as a snow pusher. - many many models. If you have models and want them, maybe...

Have a look at the tools that come with Advanced Trains.

That's a debug item and WILL BE REMOVED!
Destroys everything, does not take care of survival, does not wear out, does not drop items... don't!

Is it possible to use a texture for the inventory slots? Which ones? The ones in the inventory form (pressing E) or the hotbar on_screen? Inv form: see player:set_inventory_formspec(). You can put an image[] element behind the inventory list and set listcolors to transparent. hotbar: There's a text...

@BrunoMine: You can use on_staticdata eg. ... If you have multiple values: on_activate = function(self, staticdata) if staticdata ~= "" then local t=minetest.deserialize(staticdata) self.owner = t.owner self.otherstuff = t.otherstuff end end, --!!! not on_staticdata!!!-- get_staticdata = ...

Version 1.4 - German translation - New models for Japanese train (sorry, not yours mbb, they contained too much mess and I found that I am faster when I cut the door and windows in myself. please add window panes next time, so I can add glass texture.) - Fix crash -> please translate to your langua...

Edit: Duplicate.
What's your minetest version?

Writing a chat command that calls minetest.request_shutdown(true) would also have done it.
