Adding here as the bugtracker seems to have ignored my opening the issue:
The 90+60R diamond crossing is not train-traversable in the diagonal direction (cardinal direction ok though). TCB interlocking seems to be able to traverse it ok, as does route setting... Doesn't seem to affect the 90+60L crossing

LMAO!!! X,D You need to colour that train black, and put a demon in the locomotive, because that would be a trip straight into Dante's Inferno!

Well spotted, that one was the odd one out of the bunch with wrong connections.

@gpcf I tried to submit the patch to the mailing list but it doesn't seem to be accepting any of my recent emails (one patch I sent to atm didn't arrive, nor did this one), so here is the patch (email header redacted to not feed spambots):

Guys, i watch the init.lua of this mod and i did a change of the maximum speed of trains, now are more realistic.
I never changed a .lua file but it works!

Has anyone else had issues with the 'Clear S' button in the env_setup formspec? Seems not working to me.

I had a look here and seems to me that button it is not even handled, but could be it is done somewhere else idk...

No, well spotted. I must have forgotten to implement this :/ Adding to bugtracker.

Hi!

Is there a way to make train models look more 3D? Currently, all faces are drawn in the same brightness. Here an image with shaders disabled, but it looks similar when I enable Shaders -> Generate Normal Maps or other settings:

Image

The train model looks uniformly illuminated, while the sand nodes in the background are significantly lighter at the top, and thus look more 3D. I want it like this: (edited with GIMP)

Image

Seriously: doesn’t it look much more friendly?

Minetest is in general able to do this, as can be seen on entities with the "wielditem" visual, instead of "mesh". Unfortunately, simply typing "wielditem" does not work entirely:

Image

At least it doesn’t rotate all the time, like dropped items. :D

I tried to get the UV map for the mentioned train model, the “industrial engine.” I opened https://git.bananach.space/advtrains.gi ... _loc.blend with Blender v2.82, and opened the UV Editor. When I select the whole model, I get this:

Image

This is obviously not the correct UV map.

Either, this is an UV map that was stored in the .blend, and there have been changes since the release in which the texture was created. Or, the UV map was created on-the-fly by my Blender.

How do I get the correct UV map?

The MT engine does not support shaders on mesh entities yet, sadly. Mainly because since the passing of RealBadAngel there is no graphics guy on the core dev team anymore.

The stuff in "assets" is pretty messy in some places, and I haven't touched these files since 2017. Possibly the model used in the game does not mirror the blend file.
I'm sorry, but it is probably quicker to re-do the UV map.
Or you can try to import the game model back into Blender.

Re-export for good results

You're right, the UV map has changed since the file assets/blender/industrial/industry_loc.blend was last changed. Thankfully, blender 2.8+ has the ability to import b3d files directly. By importing advtrains_train_industrial/models/advtrains_engine_industrial.b3d, I was able to get the right UV map and even better, re-exporting again back to b3d gave much sharper edges, visible when shaders are enabled:

Image

If you want to further work on the model and/or texture please do so and overwrite the .blend file we currently have in assets and submit that, art contributions to minetest mods are very welcome. BTW I used the same approach of re-importing a B3D when reworking the linetrack boat model. This re-export is a bit roguh mind, you will probably want to shade some edges smooth though like the top of the cab roof.

This is wrong, since 5.2.0 if you have shaders ticked enabled on the main menu, you do get shading. The difference on the subway wagon is night and day! Take a look at the two screenshots on this page on the LinuxForks Server wiki.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.1.4]

Very interesting...

I have 5.3.0 (from snap) and 5.4.0-dev (from git master) here. When I enable shading in 5.3.0, nothing happens, no matter which of the 3 or 4 shading checkboxes. When I enable shading in 5.4.0, I get vertex shading, like in the linux-forks screenshot you mentioned.

Meanwhile, I have simplified the mesh in the .blend, so I could export a new UV map. Now I am drawing some new textures on the new map. I gave it a door and some vents so far... ...but currently I am spending my time on another project.

I also exported a map with baked ambient occlusion. This map could be used as alternative to in-game shaders.

But if I figure out how to check the correct checkbox, that would also be a step forward. :)

Do you know whether your re-imported mesh is “exploded”, with cut edges? Then, vertex shading should work like face shading.

Good to hear that the entity shading has been improved in the engine. I wasn't aware of this.
I appreciate any contribution to advtrains, especially as I'm not really into arts. I hope one day we can reach the graphics level of Minecra* train mods. Thank you!

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.1.4]

I continued with the industrial engine textures, and here is what I have now:

Image
Image
Image

And yes, shaders work now. I ticked the “Shaders” checkbox, and unticked all the subcheckboxes. With the old model, shaders didn’t work. I assume, the old .b3d didn’t have correct normals; probably the .b3d export script has improved. And it seems it can also import now. :)

I opened the .blend file from the repository, and simplified the mesh using automatic geometry decimation and some manual work. Before I could export a working .b3d, I had to triangulate the mesh. I placed some seams (in addition to the existing seams), and “unwrap”-ed the mesh, which gave me this UV map:

Image

The screenshot shows baked ambient occlusion, which I generated with the Cycles renderer. I placed three obstacles for the floor and adjacent wagons, to get some shadow. After I learned that shading works fine with the new mesh, I made these obstacles smaller, to leave face shading up to the engine, and highlight only geometric details.

To start painting textures, I assigned some materials to the mesh, and baked diffuse, with both direct and indirect options disabled, so I got a plain material map.

The textures were done in GIMP, and I used different layers for details like vents and lamps, ambient occlusion, and dirt.

Where/how should I submit a patch? Basically, I have only some binary data: .blend, .b3d, .xcf, .png; but I also adjusted some attach offsets in the init.lua.

The simplest would be to send them to my e-mail (orwell at bleipb.de). Please include how I should credit you. I'll try to export model and textures and commit it then.

I can't seem to post something to the advtrains issue tracker: not getting the confirmation e-mail as usual. Is everything up and running, or am I doing something wrong?

Anyways... :)

I just wanted to suggest you to add some styling to the OOP/LUA track/env_setup formspec so that the source editor textarea uses a monospace font, seems it is finally available in the API: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L2882!
