[Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.3]

[techniX]

I have faced the same issue a few times. It looks like advtrains remember position of rails that were above the slope previously - in some cases I can even drive the train on these non-existent-anymore rails, so it hangs in air above the new rails.

The workaround I've found is to build any blocks above the slope(s), then remove them - see screenshot with example. After this 'fix' the slope starts to function properly.

installed advtrains-h137-rc1 heads stick out again

mt5-fixes they don't have these haciendas?

[orwell]

The h137 tag is a testing version of a bugfix/code rewrite ywang did. It's not the version you're supposed to install. please install the master branch.

Besides,tagging releases is a thing that I should start to do...

[rubberduck]

I started working on a mod that adds more trains, all consistent in one style too.



The mese wagon was just a test, but it is a cool idea - also textures of the train are not final yet, more a test for now...

[rubberduck]

i reworked the train again, based on this one found here:

Also: What is the exact licensing of this file? I guess CC-BY

[orwell]

CC-BY-SA

Looks really good so far! Keep up the good work!

i made a new tender model (i tried the one found here, but modeling from scratch was easier for me).

you are doing great man :D

[rubberduck]

i published a first version of my mod / modpack... It is really a modpack with only one mod now... more is coming!!!
https://notabug.org/rbduck/minetest-moretrains

It is also animated now, has steam / smoke vfx and plays the steam sound



I have planned to improve these wagons seen here next, when I have enough time again...


and then a bug spawning these particles, they are just not always there where they should be - depending on their direction

[gpcf]

Looks good! I'm really looking forward to the freight cars!

It's not because of a coupled wagon. It's because it goes through a switch that is not set straight. It's technically possible, but leads to costly switch damage in real life. Advtrains lets the train through, but re-positions the wagons to match the direction they were supposed to come from given the switch's state, since they are not expected to come from any other direction. If you don't want the wagons to jump like that, all switches along the route must be set properly to curve or straight positions.

Это не из-за вагона. Это оттого, что поезд проезжает стрелку, которая не установлена прямо (взрезает стрелку, если по-нашему). В реале поезд, который так проедет стрелку, ребордой колеса отожмёт концевик рельса и погнет штангу, которая приводит в действие этот самый концевик у стрелки, и тогда машинист поезда попадёт очёнь капитально, потому что это выход стрелки из строя. Advtrains же пропускает поезд, но поворачивает вагоны так, чтобы их ориентация совпала с направлением стрелки (т.к. ожидается, что только оттуда они и могут приехать). Чтобы этого не случалось, надо все стрелки ставить как надо (прямо/вбок), и не давать поезду взрезать их.

Smacker is correct, you must set the track switch straight in the route. Also, make sure have a signal for that move; it look like your trains run on the right hand side but this steam train is coming from the left?

The reason the section remains occupied is another bug, but it should go away when you fix the switch in the route.

The relevant bug report is at http://bugs.linux-forks.de/advtrains/77.html.

h-v-smacker, получилось спасибо. Ролик переменную другим в науку. Что самое интересное локомотив без вагонов нормально проходил и даже не подумал, что это концевик не загнут.
Сейчас пересмотрел все маршруты учитывая это.

h-v-smacker, thank you so much.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about simplifying the format of signal aspect tables, since they are fairly redundant right now. The issue has been brought up here: http://bugs.linux-forks.de/advtrains/132.html.

I have implemented the change at http://git.bananach.space/advtrains.git ... nal_aspect. Meanwhile, it fixes and improves the signal aspect selection dialog.

Now my question: Is anyone of you using get_aspect() in LuaATC actively, and would changing the table format be a major issue? If you're only using 'aspect.main.free', you just need to replace it by 'aspect.main~=0'

new wagons in progress...

How do the loading and unloading tracks work? I was unable to understand how to use it.
Thanks in advance

I think I had a fork which simplified the format of signal aspects, but I probably deleted it :(
Also, I apologize for being impolite on the bugtracker.

I remember my fork had the format <main><HFS><shunt> and dropped out the DST field.

Now my question: Is anyone of you using get_aspect() in LuaATC actively, and would changing the table format be a major issue? If you're only using 'aspect.main.free', you just need to replace it by 'aspect.main~=0'

Write a get_aspect_v2 function that returns the table in the new format and have the get_aspect function point to get_aspect_v1 returning the table in the old format.
Change the get_aspect() function and add an additional argument to check for the format of the table. A number indicating the "version" should be enough.

I just finished my wood and tank wagons...

You put them above chests. When the train slowly moves by, the contents of its freight cars are moved into chests under unloading tracks, while the stuff in the chests under loading trucks is moved to the train.

thank you

[smartduck]

Thank you orwell for this great mod!
Having hours of fun building my first tracks :)
Don't know if it's all ready planned; would be nice if the train follows the angle of the slope.

[gpcf]

trains following slopes is available in minetest 5.x

[smartduck]

Thank you gpcf. I'm running antiX 19 based on debian "stable", only 0.4.17 is in the repository. So I have to install 5.1.1 manual and test if it runs without conflicts.
