Minetest Forums

I installed the current version from github on minetest 0.5.0-dev,
built a locomotive (black), got on (right mouse button), drove and got off.
Next time trying to get on the message doors closed or wagon
full appeared, when I tried to get on (right mouse button).
Restarting client and server to no avail.
Built new locomotive, could get on again and drive, after getting off
no more getting on.
Is it something I do wrong?

P.S.: love the look, really would love to use it.

You don't do anything wrong.
The issue you describe shouldn't appear. I can't reproduce this.
You can work around by opening the (imaginary) doors on one side (look at the door indicators, they should display something like |<>| >|<)
(to get on, hold your sneak key)

"lower capacity of freight cars to 3*8"

Is there a way to set the cars back to 48 stacks, or am I going to need to change my current tracks for twice the number of wagons for transporting supplies? Recently updated to the newer release (idiot me didn't save the older version for that just in case scenerio) and only 1.2 kilometers into a 10 - 15 kilometer project. Errm, in minetest, a node is a meter, yeah? I know I can use teleports and they're super easy and set up way points for teleporting goods too and from the active region of track building, bridging and tunneling. Ah well. Yeah, I'll just double the number of box cars. Really cool mod btw, thanks for all the time and effort and all the contributors to this fine project. :)

Hmm... It's probably not do-able, but had an odd idea. Technic has boxes that can hold 90 stacks, the gold ones. Crazy expensive to build but so worth it in terms of storage. Would be cool if the box car and technic box's could have a baby or two. Heehee.. :)

Doog

** Edit: Sometimes it's easier to see what someone is saying. Please bear in mind I'm not a vlogger or youtuber. Is it common for the smoke stack to not work all the time, and is it common for the train to jump forward and backward a node or two while under way? It's always been like that, just curious. Here's a link to some foolishness. :)

Thanks for the quick reply. Couldn't find |<>| >|< on the locomotive or wagon.
Tried running game locally: no problem with getting on and off
Maybe too many other mods running or the server (raspberry pi v3) not
up to the job. I will keep testing an let You know

v. 1.11 - Finally Sounds
First set of sounds is now included. There will be more!
Thanks to all sound contributors!

Hi,

I upload the Chapters of this loooooooong sound-book....
these are others recordings for your beautiful mod. Thanks again for all your work!!!!

Anyone else encounter a problem like this?

Hi,

I have these problems too...

Windows10_x64;
Advanced Trains and Advanced-Trains-Optinal-Additional (not the v1.1);
Minetest (0.4.16 or 0.5(in develop):

I inform you that every time I restart Minetest or VoxelGarden in local or server world:
- many and many rails are "rotate" respect the original design (Image 001);
- frequently I find the trains blocked out of rails (Image 002);
- all the trains are clipped to 0 (Image 003, 004).

Question: its possible to hide the line that frequently appear above the rails? (Image 005)

Thanks....

How did you make the power lines visible???
(These are indeed present in the model, but hidden by a transparent texture)
EDIT: Ah, i see, you have Andrey01's Extensions enabled, they probably cause this.

Something tells me that the node database does not get updated when rails are placed, which might cause the bug you describe... I'll have a look at it...
Edit: No, it's written correctly (except for the default orientation, but that's not severe)

I hope that one day we'll reach something like this:

Youtube | Official Build A World Channel: Trains & Tracks - Part 3 - 'Rails Demo'

Hey, do you remember this post?
Let's look what is done so far to reach this, and what's still missing:
Done:
- Automatic train driving (long-term to-do: easy-to-set-up automation)
- Sit inside train (but still lacking the correct positioning of the camera, due to engine limitation)
- Rails (in smaller degrees, but we won't change this in short term)

Things we have or will have that are NOT in the video:
- Switches
- Power Lines (or did you see any?)

Still missing:
- Sounds
- Longer wagons and trucks
- Detail degree of models
- Coal

-----------
I'll (probably) start with the sounds next week, this is going to be fun...
Then:
- Write a proper board computer (coupling/discoupling from inside train, easy setting displays, tools for halt stations)
- Implement a new, easy automation system (with track sections and signalling) (I'll not put it into an external process)

Hi,

this is the link for the first chapter of "Advanced Trains Sound"
https://archive.org/details/Codesound

Contact me for any questions or new request
In the next days I try to record a new freight train while it slows down, and starts again, his electrical engine and so on.

Bye for now (and sorry again for the long time response...)

Of great quality

How I disable Andrey01's Extensions? (I simply clone the github rep and enable this mod....)

- all the trains are clipped to 0 (Image 003, 004).

it often only happens after 30 seconds that I have started any train (not only when I restart Minetest):
often, when I insert a train and start it, after 30 seconds it stops: this warning appears at the top...

In the chapter 2 is a better Japanese Horn sound (listen link below):

Hi,

thanks for reply.

I use the "Advanced Trains [advtrains] [1.11]" version, but these problems are identical with the "Advanced-Trains-Optinal-Additional-"

I have prepared a video that show what happens when I restart Minetest for 3 times: but these problems are there even without restarting it... I simply download, unzip, placed in the mods folder and activate (....) I create one new v7 level but in this video you see my problems (you see also the power line above the train...).... I am going crazy for understand why....

PS: in the video I use the latest version of Minetest in develop (0.5.n) but the problems are identical in 0.4.16.
