[Mod] Signs for train/metro networks [metrosigns]

by Josselin2 » Post

This mod provides an extensive collection of signs for use in your train and metro systems.

Image

The mod includes:
  • Semi-realistic signage from twenty major cities - the London Underground, the Paris Metro, the New York Subway - and more!
  • Line and platform number signs from 1-99
  • A sign-writing machine (for use in survival mode)
  • Nodes from advtrains_subwayblocks and trainblocks, if they aren't already loaded
  • Over 1400 items in total
The mod includes and builds on material from the following mods:
Dependencies: Requires Minetest v5.0 (or later). There are no hard dependencies.

Optional dependencies: If default and basic_materials are loaded, the sign writing machine and ink cartridges are craftable. If signs_api from display_modpack is loaded, you can create signs with customisable text (as in the screenshot above).

Downloads: Zip, or browse the code.

Licences: CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported for the sign writing machine and ink cartridges, GNU Affero GPL for everything else.

Instructions: Most signs are enabled by default. (This is a change from earlier versions). See the README to find out how to be more selective.

For the benefit of anyone who found the sign-writing machine unusable: I have hopefully succeeded in fixing it.

I made a few improvements in today's release:
  • Testing suggests the ink capacity is not enough for practical use, so I doubled it
  • In the sign writer, I added ability to shift-click cartridges and plastic in and out of their slots
  • There is now a second set of signs with custom text. This new set has a reddish background, and means something like "You are here"
  • Several textures have been improved (translation: the old textures were rubbish)

I added a recycling slot in the sign writing machine. You can recycle your unwanted signs and receive (on average) 66% of the plastic you originally used, and 50% of the ink.

This follows guidelines and hence has been moved.
This is a cool signature. :)

I love this! I can see how my server can be greatly improved through consistent signage.

Metrosigns Lines 11-99

by Blockhead » Post

Unless the screenshot is out of date, I noticed your line 11-99 signs use only the colour of their last digit. The subway wagons got an update a while ago from Hume2 that colours the lines 11-99 according to a function when displayed on the subway wagon. It would be good to use that in this mod too. Subway wagon source is at: http://git.bananach.space/basic_trains.git

I have updated the mod. Line signs in the range 11-99 now use the same colour scheme as the basic_trains mod. The original colour scheme can be enabled in Minetest settings (or by editing settings.lua).

I tried downloading this in Minetest version 5.6.1 (64 bit)

the mod doesn't seem to work when I place this in the mods folder, and I have adv trains installed, it doesn't work
