Advtrains does not yet provide a standard interface for information systems. I have mostly seen people using station tracks and/or LuaATC. (Also, I only have experience with passenger services, you may need to ask Maverick2797 or Blockhead regarding the operation of freight trains). I wrote a somewhat simple display for platforms and stations, but, as with other LuaATC code I wrote, it is a huge mess, and bad design is hard to undo.Miniontoby wrote: ↑Sat Dec 10, 2022 12:50At least I would like some help with automating trains with informationboards as well and such.
By the way, if you want to go down the path of LuaATC and also use MediaWiki for your server wiki, you can consider looking into Scribunto and Module:Adjacent stations for MediaWiki.
Some more explanation on "and such" would be interesting, but I can suggest two things in case my guesses happen to be correct:
- If you want some idea on track layout, consider looking at satellite maps (e.g. on Google Maps) or looking on other servers for reference. (And, for other people, please keep server advertising/drama off the Advtrains thread)
- If you want some idea on designing your public transit system, consider looking in real life or at other servers (see above). Alternatively, there are some games with the theme of designing your own transit system, and you can look at some of them as well.
Oof. Some further explanation on the problem would be helpful.I just cannot get those auto routes with 1 line and multiple trains (I cannot even get 1 train working)
Anyway, Codesound wrote a nice interlocking guide:
There are some other places you can look at:Codesound wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 20:40Hi,
the Rev.3 of the tutorial is here.... hope you like it...
do you allow me for this tutorial this term? ;-) with the next I will use the term "instructors" (...)

thanks for all....

- The wiki has an interlocking guide. It also links to some interesting pages. Some of the information is a bit subjective (and I do not agree to some), but it is up to you to figure out how things are done.
- The doc branch has a manual written in LaTeX, located in assets/manual/tex. You do need to have some knowledge of LaTeX though.
