[Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.4.3]

[orwell]

@v-rob
The trucks, as you describe them, are in my long-term to-do list for this mod.
I have been thinking about significant changes to the rail system, as well as how to implement sounds, and i already have a proof plan on how to implement trucks. My problem is that I have only occasional time the next two months, and therefore can't work on the mod.
(additionally, the first thing to do is extensive modeling, which will consume much time)

[Andrey01]

Update 2.1
-Added models for cabels (I just forgot to add their before).

Mbb, what did you do wrong in rockets?

Can you fix it, please?

Add inventory icon for diesel locomotive, please, too.

... and capacitor, mast and cabel icons.... don't appears with the Unified Inventory (but take your time, It's just a tedious problem, not a bug).



I inform you that I'm on half of the recordings (+/-)... I think I will end by the end of this month ;-)

Umm... it has already fixed, download version 2.1. I forgot to add models for cabels. But may you fix that error with rockets? Something happens there incorrect. Only mbb forgot to add inventory icon for diesel locomotive.

[Andrey01]

Orwell, do you remember you wrote information about that to use trains everyone needs coal for it? Maybe can i help you?

you have to rename the folder into advtrains_trains_rocket

Mbb, are you developing compartment wagon still? I am just waiting coming of that wagon.

I am Ready there is a sleeping wagon too but i'm on a hollyday trip and i have so bad internet that i cant uploade it

[orwell]

Orwell, do you remember you wrote information about that to use trains everyone needs coal for it? Maybe can i help you?

Hm, if you understand how my code works, you could implement it.
You would need to set up an inventory for the steam engine for the coal. I documented my api for that somewhere. Then you need to write a custom on-step function (also documented)
The train's speed can be accessed as

Code: Select all

self:train().velocity

(As far as i remember)
Thanks a lot Codesound for the recordings, and all others for doing their part.

Currently i don`t know API of Minetest and your mod itself. I even don`t know LUA. But i will try to learn it. That`s why i can not implement that you are suggesting.

EDIT: How do you edit advanced trains to work on the 45-degree track (depreciated track)? Which Lua file is this stuff stored in?

[orwell]

EDIT: How do you edit advanced trains to work on the 45-degree track (depreciated track)? Which Lua file is this stuff stored in?

You have two possibilities:
1. edit the drives_on property of every wagon you want to drive on the "deprecated track" so that it says

Code: Select all

drives_on={default=true, regular=true},

(located inside the train mod directories in init.lua)
Note: the deprecated tracks are called "regular" in the code for compatibility reasons
2. in advtrains/tracks.lua, replace every appearance of "regular" with "default". This way, all rails get the same tracktype called "default". However, this might break the track placement.

you've probably seen it, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFn6VX_8VCM

hi,

How can i get the train-outdoor-text?

"if event.train and advtrains.trains[event.id].text_outside == "Test" then" is wrong

The displayed outside-text is "Test". Where is my mistake?

"if event.id" is true!

best regards

user

[orwell]

The LuaATC environment is sandboxed. You don't have access to anything in the minetest namespace.
There is no way to check a train's outside text.

Hmm... why does "advtrains" folder store in worlds directory? It must keeps in mods logically. I doubt much you don`t know it, rather maybe i don`t understand something here...

hi orwell,

thanks for answer!

Do you know an other way to identify a train? (train id?)

Hmmm, well, you are right, that is a bit strange. Of cause I know where to put the mod Folders. I started it once again ...

Still missing some mods in the package.

This looks like you had these mods enabled for that world but deleted them.
If you don't want those messages you can remove e.g.

Code: Select all

load_mod_advtrains_subway_ny = true

from world.mt in your world's folder or you can reinstall those mods and then play with them or disable them in the main menu
