Hey, that looks really nice!
BTW: there is a script to map all tracks laid in a world as SVG. Also on git.bananach.space/advtrains_netmapper, usage instructions in main.lua
I know that gpcf was working on a similar feature to be integrated into this netmapper

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
Why is it not always possible to open the signal's formspec? Granted, I did a mess rearranging segments, but still — I got a signal that only gives an error message "Signal signal at (...) - Unknown route set. Route is being cancelled" and then nothing. I cannot even unlink it from the tcb. I managed to remove it eventually (physical signal), but the tcb for the track in that coordinate still shows a button "Signalling", which again produces that message... Shouldn't route settings be accessible at all times? Or else how to fix that...
Speaking of which, I gather TCBs are tied to their physical coordinates. Can there be some way arranged to "nuke" a tcb at a given location? Like, destroy all the data associated with it?

orwell:
A few cosmetic issues i ran into in minetest v5:
1: the player is visibly stuck through the roofs of cars & locomotives in 3rd person view.
2: The smoke effect in steam locomotives doesn't rotate with the locomotive's entity.
Other than that, wonderful mod, and i love the new station stop rails. much easier to make automated train lines now. :)

@smacker: I have already noticed this bug, but thanks. I'll try to fix it asap.
@thomas: oh no, they've broken the particle spawners again...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
Well the train map command is broken... i tried opening a map within that station in the screenshot with those visual bugs, and...
i rarely ever use that command to begin with, but i figured id post this. do note that just at the part of the station where the trains enter/exit, there are 2 detector rails. For refrence, this is in the version on the content Database in minetest v5
Edit: also, the steam train's chuffing sound never fades in the distance, only stops when they reach the next stop...
Code: Select all
ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'advtrains_itrainmap' in callback on_chat_message(): ...est-5/bin/../mods/advtrains/advtrains_itrainmap/init.lua:55: attempt to index field 'detector' (a nil value)

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
I will say this much: building train lines in v5's new Carpathian mapgen is WAY too much fun. :)
Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
Dear @Orwell.... Hi!
I inform you that the problem of the train that leaving the tracks is also with minecarts ....
In the images below you can see how the wagon came out completely from the tracks.
Here is the list of mods enabled for this world:
agriculture;
basic_materials;
factory_bridges;
homedecor_modpack;
mesecons;
MinetestAmbience;
pipeworks;
Princess_Decor;
technic;
unified_inventory;
unifieddyes;
WorldEdit.
NO AdvTrains.... it's a minetest problem: for example, at the same time that the wagon was stuck in the air, too Technic "HV Quarry" block he was still. I had to restart it...
I hope it can be useful!
minetest developers must be informed. How can I do?
thanks, R

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
Codesound: I do believe you have the wrong topic, advanced trains is an entirely separate mod from the one that provides the carts that come with Minetest Game, Mineclone, etc.. Advanced Trains is focused on proper 'full size' trains, like in the screenshot of the original post: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14726

before the forum crashed, I opened one thread here because the Trains of this mod ADVT have the same problems of minecarts, only later did I discover that minecarts also has this problem. Orwell knows the problem, and I simply informed it ....
The problem is not in this mod but in the minetest engine....
Thanks,
R

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
a few suggestions:
- some 'Y' switches,
- perhaps a diner car to match the green passenger car?
- caboose
- perhaps a larger steam engine?
- A 'geared' steam locomotive (such as the Lima Shay locomotive).
- a railroad rotary snow plow? (would look cool in cold climates)
- angled station platforms?
- it would look better if the trains could angle correctly on ramps.

They do that in the latest Git state in MT 5.0.0. Perhaps I haven't made a Content DB release yet.thomasthespacefox wrote: - it would look better if the trains could angle correctly on ramps.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
just updated. the trains look so much better on slopes now. almost surprising how much it improves things. odd that I've only seen 2 mods actually use the new entity rotation in v5...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
How can the train turn around without a turnout and how to change the name of a platform/station??

Here's how:Miniontoby wrote:How can the train turn around without a turnout and how to change the name of a platform/station??
1: rightclick track, a formspec should appear.
2: type your name into the station name box, click save.
3: to reverse the train when it leaves the station, click the "---" selector box and select "reverse", click save again., close formspec.
number 3 will let you use a station rail as a reverse point. you can even set a shorter wait time as well.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
Hey orwell
There was a corruption of the advtrains_ndb2 database at pandorabox yesterday.
I tried to rollback the db-file from the latest backup but the train-blocks looked all weird afterwards:
Any clue what caused this?
Currently i removed the ndb file to restore via lbm, i hope that works...
More info: the save-delay for the ndb is in the range of 50 milliseconds, maybe it somehow got interrupted :(
The system is Linux and the FS is ext4 by the way...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]
When restoring the NDB backup, it is really important that you restore both the "advtrains" and "advtrains_ndb" file from the same backup, because the node-id mappings are stored in the main save file.
And the file corruption protection is insufficient, but I don't know how to do this better. Maybe swap out files before writing and keep a "backup" save
Aside from that, in most cases it is sufficient to just restore "advtrains", since the Node DB will fill itself over time.
