Please only peacefully tanks :)

Where can i bye a “h“?

I have the same problem of trains not going into some new segments. at_reroute usually fixes it (only for loded nodes...)

Features:
- couple/decouple trains from a driver stand

Question....Mbb trains do not have the couple/decouple ability from the drivers stand. A few once coupled can not be decoupled. The only way to decouple the cars is to deactivate the train then delete. Is there a way to do away with the need to decouple the cars to delete them? It's a nice idea but should work with all the trains.

Thanks Mbb, but I am not a lua programer but I guess I should learn it. Being a programmer myself I can read the lua files and understand it but modifying the code doesn't always get me the results I expect. So I will dig into lua programming so I can fix, add to, and create my own code. All I want to do right now is disable the need to decouple the cars to delete them in the mean while.

Okay found the part that controls the need to decouple to delete cars. I remarked the code and it solved the problem.

Hi,
my name is Carsten, I'm new on this Board.
My Son loves MineTest - now we tried to install the advtrains mod and the game runs into an error.

Its the first mod I ever installed so maybe I did something wrong.

I downloaded the latest zip-package of advtrains, and unzipped it into the .minetest/mods-folder - now there is a new folder "advtrains-master" inside the mods-folder.
Starting minetest I can see the installed mod.
When I configure a new world, I can activate the advtrains-master and it automatically activates all adv-mods inside the package.
When we try to play in the new word, it runs into an error.

In debug.txt there is the following errorcode:

2018-01-21 19:53:36: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========

I hope somebody can help me to fix the problem.

Thanks a lot!

i have this error too

Hi,

I downloaded the latest zip-package of advtrains, and unzipped it into the .minetest/mods-folder - now there is a new folder "advtrains-master" inside the mods-folder.

ZehPunkt74 rename the folder to just advtrains, then it should work.

As i can tell from the error, it's caused by an older version of minetest
What version of minetest are you using?

EDIT: The fact that it was no longer possible do decouple 'by hand' was a bug and not a feature. It's fixed now.

I am Mainote.

This mod is brilliant works and has the potential to develop. So, I created train models to the mod.

I made Yamanote line stock models known as the Japanese commuter train. This stocks work well because the completeness of advtrain mod is high.

Do you mind if I posting these file to here and other website (example Youtube) ? of course I going to share according to copyright notice.

Looks nice! Seems like you already packed it into a module.
You can either post the files here (or somewhere else) and I can put them into the modpack, or you open up a GitHub repository and I link to your repo in my mod's forum topic
(I'm always happy if someone contributes!)
@all: I started a poll!

I think you should include a core set of trains - steam, diesel, subway - but then not to many others. And they should each be a separate mod, preferably

So more or less as it is now...
Of course, I'll pack each train into a separate mod.

nice work +1

Do the doors work on that train? That would be extremely cool!

Really is each train not packed into separate mod now? Your modification is modpack.

Yes, each atrain is a separate mod,

Thank you orwell .
Here is that modelpack. Please use that as you see fit.

Yes,these do. I Adjusted moving speed

I like this mod pretty much. But there's still a huge problem: Everytime, when I restart the server or the world some rails, signals and bumbers turn into other rails, signals, bumpers or mesecon switches. So you can't use the track until you have rebuild it. My first thought was that it has sth. to do with worldedit but it still happens without WE. Maybe siomeone knows an answer?

Hi, same problems here.... What is your SO, The version of Minetest and Avanced trains?

(The trains speeds are clipped to 0 every time you restart Minetest, is right?)

hm, it seems that this problem is more common than I thought
i donˋt have much time the next days, so i can't investigate on the problem
interestingly, neither can i reproduce the problem on my computer nor does it happen on the linuxworks server
i guess it's caused by older save files that got corrupted at some point in the past by my mod. @codesound or someone who has the problem, can you send me one of your advtrains save files ('advtrains' from the world directory)

And the trains should certainly not stop when loading the world...
wait, are you using LuaJIT?

Hi mbb,

earlier in the thread you posted a tender locomotive, where about's can I get a copy of the files
to give it a try, I couldn't find it on your github(there is a chance I missed it)

Also if your looking for a challenge for your next train a garratt steam locomotive maybe be of interest
