[Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.3]

[hajo]

How about setting up a trains-server, as a demo ("TrainsWorld") ?
That could be made quite small (think "Lummerland" :)

Or do some layout like a model-railroad, e.g. from rail3d
or jbss, or LokSim3d ...

Maybe as an offline-pack, e.g. modpack + map.sql + basic config,
with some tracks already built between 2-3 villages,
all as one download, ready to unpack and run...

[orwell]

I am not able to host a server.
A demo world?! maybe...

[hajo]

I am not able to host a server.

It doesn't need to be your own server.
A list of servers running the Advanced Trains-mod would also be useful.

[orwell]

Linuxworks. But it's down at the moment

I've noticed a small problem that isn't important, but I think that it should be fixed. On some of the train cars and trains, some of the things have been reflected incorrectly. One of them is the industrial engine's wheels and pipes. The cylinders are inverted so that you see the inside of it. Could you fix that?

Also, I think that the textures should optionally have pixels because it's hard to distinguish any corners otherwise.

Can you guys tell me how to install the new train mods so they all work? I have installed them all but only the tranlib shows up in the inventory. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Ok, schade.
I have redone the rail models, they have the power lines integrated now. For the masts, I will use mbb's model and some code from the cabels.lua you wrote. I think that's ok for you.
I don't want many different types of trains in the core modpack, but rather let the community (you) do more trains and publish them as separate mods. Users can then download what they want. I will link to all community-made trains in the forum post.
BTW, I could update the website. Or I just change the link to mbb's github version. mbb, do you want to update the website / should I link to your version?
Also, @mbb, did you read the message I wrote to your PR?

yes i read them
but can i get your new moddels?

1.7
Some changes:
- Redone rail models: they now look better and have MBB's rusty textures.
- Preparations for powerlines
- Some bugfixes
- Update manual and documentation
Next release will come soon and include power lines.

i think its verry comlicated to couple trains so i think wagoncoupeling like this would be great:

Orwell, you told what you deleted Tunnel Borer, but i have found undeleted code in the modpack from debugitems.lua:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_tool("advtrains:tunnelborer",
{
	description = "tunnelborer",
	groups = {cracky=1}, -- key=name, value=rating; rating=1..3.
	inventory_image = "drwho_screwdriver.png",
	wield_image = "drwho_screwdriver.png",
	stack_max = 1,
	range = 7.0,
		
	on_place = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
	
	end,
	--[[
	^ Shall place item and return the leftover itemstack
	^ default: minetest.item_place ]]
	on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
		if pointed_thing.type=="node" then
			for x=-1,1 do
				for y=-1,1 do
					for z=-1,1 do
						minetest.remove_node(vector.add(pointed_thing.under, {x=x, y=y, z=z}))
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end,
}
)

OK i made the trains
you just have To put them into your advtrains folder and activate Them in your minetest client

Andrey, wenn du deutsch kannst schreib mir mal ne PM. Ich werde demnächst mbb's Stromleitungsmasten einbauen und greife dabei auch auf deine cabels.lua zurück (ich gehe davon aus dass du da nichts dagegen hast). Dann kannst du die bei dir rausnehmen und deine zusätzlichen Züge als separates Modpack vertreiben, damit du nicht ständig synchronisieren musst wenn ich advtrains update.
Ich finde es beser wenn nur einige wenige züge im Kern selbst enthalten sind. Euch (also der Community) steht es dann frei weitere dazuzubasteln (dazu habe ich ja eine API, um Waggons zu definieren), und ich verlinke die dann im Forumpost.

You will write it English,don`t know this a language

and it you wanr to get my latest trains you can go into my trainhub the link is in Orwells first post

[Cage]

Thanks mbb I had them in the advtrains folder but not in the main advtrains folder. Now they work great. Thank you very much for setting me straight.

Can't reproduce, please open issue on github.

hi orwell,

very very nice mod!

It is possible to make wagons like the shared chests?
And it is possible to make an "all drop button"?

Hey, a user just used the PC Naming Tool and the server crashed:

Code: Select all

ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod '' in callback item_OnPlace(): /srv/minetest/world/worldmods/protector/init.lua:282: bad argument #1 to 'get_player_by_name' (string expected, got nil)

I'm on the latest rev (a091ac2e1da07b442c8f58237667287714adc838).

orwell, can you make a simpletrains mod as well? That runs on normal rails? We could have steam wagons that burn things similarly to the furnace, chest carts, player carts, and the like? It would be really appreciated as it would probably find a place on more servers as well as maybe even get in the default game? You seem to be a very good modder, that's why I ask. :)
