Soon:
You can use any available sort of wood, and available metals:

Oh, it would be nice to see tracks from various sorts of wood. I hope Orwell will add it.

"unique_id" is undefined => exception (for open cargo wagon)

Im replace it ("unique_id"=>"id"), and Im lost all cargo after server restart((

Posted: **Mon Jun 11, 2018 21:50**

The different kinds of metal feature doesn't make much sense, since a lot of metals aren't usable for train tracks due to being too soft or having other undesirable features.

Therefore, the rails are made of steel and not of iron. It seems to have been tried out of cast iron - but it's too fragile. I do not think that in a game where there is a wooden and golden pickax this is important. Nevertheless, it is possible to specify different characteristics for different rails in the future.

I'm very worried about something else:
-lags with direct movement of the unit
-Camera jerks at turn
-No inclination of the unit (on the slopes)
-Also I changed the visual position of the rail itself. It seems reasonable to me that the height of the rail (with the embankment) is exactly half the cube.

What? There are no gold pickaxes in MTG.

Anyway, copper, tin, and bronze are definitely not strong enough, and cast iron doesn't even exist in Minetest. I suppose it doesn't matter, though.

Copper rail in:

Cast iron in:
https://github.com/minetest-mods/techni ... /manual.md

There's really no gold pickaxe. There are only bronze, diamond, wooden etc... I think after the wooden picks, any metal is suitable for rails. I would just add for example a speed limit for "bad rails".

By the way, by analogy I do a set of wagon (any wood + any metal)

If I put wagon, and load cargo into wagon, and move far (from wagon) -- cargo lost.
If I reset server (near wagon) -- wagon work correctly
Also
-dont work all wagon/engine button (except "get off") !
-I make in code new engine with inventory: "Show inventory" -> (exception, because player==nil)

Ok,thanks, looking at it

I can't reproduce this. Does it happen when the wagon stays where it is and you move away, or when the wagon moves away?

imcasper wrote:-dont work all wagon/engine button (except "get off") !

Fixed

imcasper wrote:-I make in code new engine with inventory: "Show inventory" -> (exception, because player==nil)

Can't reproduce either, probably there's something wrong with your code. Can you send me your code please?

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2018 17:08**

1. This reproduced always, but only after FIRST server start %)
minetest 0.4.17.1, advtrains (tss "Mention testers in readme.txt")

1. Start new server (and login)
2. Place rail, put single wagon, put cargo into wagon.
3. Move far (wait for wagon hiding)
4. Move back -- wagon is empty (cargo lost)

2. Also outgoing steam engine continues to make noise. When it returns (if it return), there will be two sound tracks (add one sound tracks for every return xD).

3. Digtron dont want place rail (maybe because the rails in the inventory and on the map - different entities?)

4. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But I still have nothing going on by clicking on the "wagon properties" button and "board com"

5. I copy next lines (from "wagon_box" define to "detailed_steam_engine" define)

has_inventory = true,
get_inventory_formspec = function(self)
return "size[8,11]"..
"list[detached:advtrains_wgn_"..self.id..";box;0,0;8,3;]"..
"list[current_player;main;0,5;8,4;]"..
"listring[]"
end,
inventory_list_sizes = {
box=8*3,
},

to (advtrains_train_steam/init.lua:152)

And then put "new" loco, and select "show inventory" from engine (item correctly added to steam menu):

end
end
if fields.inv and self.has_inventory and self.get_inventory_formspec then
minetest.show_formspec(player:get_player_name(), "advtrains_inv_"..self.id, self:get_inventory_formspec(player:get_player_name()))
end
if fields.prop and self.owner==pname then

There's a simple fix for Digtron track-laying, but Github desktop is having trouble cloning the bananach.space repository and I don't have an account on the Mantis issue server so I'll just comment here and hopefully someone can just stick it in.

In the advtrains mod, on line 271 of trackplacer.lua, in function tp.register_track_placer, where the "_placer" craftitem is registered, change

Code: Select all

groups={advtrains_trackplacer=1},

to

Code: Select all

groups={advtrains_trackplacer=1, digtron_on_place=1},

This tells Digtron that this craftitem is a valid item to allow as a buildable item, and also tells it to trigger the item's "on_place" code when attempting to build it.

Once that change is made the "digtron.lua" file in advtrains should be deleted, it's now redundant. In fact, I think advtrain's optional dependency on the digtron mod can be removed - group membership has no impact if digtron's not installed and advtrains doesn't need to use digtron's API this way.

I just merged the changes into the bananach repo.

Ah, ok, there lies the problem.
There's a pitfall in the advtrains code that there are 2 mechanisms for handling player seating and inventory. The box wagon uses the old one, the one without seat groups, while your code uses the variant with seat groups. apparently this is broken. Thanks, I'll fix that.

I would like to add custom rails and wagons to the game. The code is almost ready. However, I need to add an array of "textures" for tracks:
(advtrains\advtrains\tracks.lua:268)

tiles = def.textures or {def.shared_texture or (def.texture_prefix.."_"..img_suffix..".png"), def.second_texture},

Also I would like to add a description of the wheels (the position of the front axis and the back axis), for better rendering of long wagons on turns (the experimental code already exists).

In addition, I would like to add fuel (the experimental code is already there)

I'm experiencing difficulties, because I do not understand how to propose changes now. On a github, for example, I could just create my own brunch. (Manual fuss with branches is hell).

I'm afraid I can not specifically reproduce the bug, although he appeared in the game three times. Maybe it's my (custom rails / or fuel). Nevertheless, if there is an opportunity to look:

Do it as you would do it on github: Fork my repository by cloning it to your computer and then pushing it to Github, and then tell me the link to your changes
I've included a contribution guide at https://git.bananach.space/advtrains.gi ... ibuting.md

Feel free to write around in the code. For those axes you mentioned, some people call it "trucks", extend the on_step callback of wagons in a way that the wagon positions itself between the trucks and make the trucks position on the rails.

Track section interlocking is on its way!

https://github.com/imcasper/bananach_ad ... ree/custom

I did it, although it was very troublesome. All the same, the final measure was incorrect, so I'll redo it again.

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2018 09:13**

The link is broken. Intended?

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2018 20:15**

I deleted it, because the merge is incorrect. I'm sorry, but I want to test more, and add something before the publication. In addition, I need to draw arrows and special rails (loading / unloading / control).

Rails and wagons can be crafted from any tree, and some metals. This affects the appearance. Approximately 25 sort of wood and 5 sorts of metal are available (which gives more than a hundred combinations!!!)

PS. You can offer your list of metals from which you can collect rails.
PPS. Also, the difficulty levels will be available.
PPPS. If there are willing to help draw wagons for the "custom set" please.

I am currently working on an interlocking system. What that is, see here

However, the final result looks different from the screenshot

EDIT: Actually, never mind. I don't think I will use advtrains because there are too many bugs as of now. Maybe if these bugs are ironed out, then I will use advtrains as the base for advcarts.
