Chemnitzer Linux-Tage

I will be present at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage on 14.-15. March. The event takes place in Chemnitz, Saxony. The language is mostly german.

Here's the german forum thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24011

You are very welcome to participate. I invite you to discuss with me about ideas and issues with advtrains.

EDIT: The CLT have been cancelled.

I use minetest-server on Debian buster taken from the buster-backports archive. It is version 5.1.1+repack-1~bpo10+1.

I installed the advtrains from git master branch.

Each time I start the server I get a lot of warnings in the log file, some are from advtrains. For instance these :

Code: Select all

Any ideas how to get rid how them?

Removing the minetest-mod-intllib package (and thus the corresponding mods) remove a lot of warning message, but I still have the next one:

Code: Select all

2020-03-23 23:37:32: WARNING[Main]: Undeclared global variable "intllib" accessed at ...minetest/mods/advtrains/advtrains_luaautomation/init.lua:6
Is it that serious?

It means that the mod is trying to use intllib and fails at doing so.
But if you don't get any errors it is probably just a check if intllib available, so it is not serious.
Modders can remove this warning by using

Code: Select all

if rawget(_G,"intllib") then
  -- it is avalible
end

Oof.

Yes, advtrains used to use intllib. But since 2 years I haven't updated any of the strings or the intllib code.
I opened an issue, and will remove the old intllib code soon. In the long term, I should re-add localization for all parts of the mod.

You can't assign a TCB to a rail switch. However, you can assign it to a straight track and then use the track worker tool to change it to switch. The same works with influence points.
If you lack the reality, go on a trip or find a job.

Old version on Content DB doesn't work on windows

by Blockhead » Post

The version on the content DB still has this line:

Code: Select all

os.rename(temppath, advtrains.fpath.."_"..name)
which doesn't work on windows, and was fixed in commit 1bb1d825f46af3562554c12fba35a31b9f7973ff by replacing it with a call to the minetest API. I found this out when piet was trying to use it and asked about the error on linuxforks. Given that the current version doesn't work, can we pretty please get a new version on the content DB soon? You shouldn't need git to install a working advtrains if you use windoze. And please tag the releases on git going forwards. Thanks :)

Thank's for that and all your work. I will subscribe to the issue.

In my server log I get a lot of such messages :

Code: Select all

ACTION[Server]: [advtrains]Train 425468 get_occupations requested off-track -3
I guess some users misplaced a train.

Is it possible to easily find where or simply to remove them via some minetest commands?

The bugtracker does not seems to offer a way to follow an issue. I will check your announcement here.

Thank's again.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.1.1]

This is a cool mod. I downloaded and started to build tracks a couple of days ago but hit a snag now when I try to create routes.

How should one delete TCB after they have been assigned track sections and signals?

I did remove it without removing signals and track sectons and now I seem to have ghost TCBs on several places.

Any way to clean up my mess?

I'm now trying to optimise pathfinding. The idea is that the path will contain only the useful track pieces like signal influence points, curves, switches etc. but not straight tracks. I already implemented the graph and all necessary functions around it but there are still many bugs. You can see my progress here: https://gitlab.com/Hume2/advtrains/-/tree/graph (branch graph) I don't know why it's so buggy when the only thing I actually changed was that I don't put the nearest track piece to the path but a farther one. It looks like I don't fully understand the rest of the code. Maybe you will identify and fix the bugs faster than me.

A link to the tutorial should be in the OP and perhaps on the wiki landing page.

quick hack using worldedit lua command:

Code: Select all

//lua minetest.chat_send_all(dump(advtrains.trains["425468"].last_pos))

Uh, yes, this is very buggy.
- You can not remove a TCB when a signal is assigned to it. Click "unassign signal" on the bottom of the signal dialog
- When you have a "ghost TCB" i.e. a TCB on a rail but no yellow TCB block anymore, you can remove it by placing down a new TCB block and assigning (punching) it to the same location as the ghost TCB, then digging the TCB block again.
- If you really screwed it all up and your world doesn't have any interlocking stuff except the broken things, delete all the advtrains_interlocking_* files from the world folder.

I wonder why there is no issue for this.

Hey Guys,
if you want to see a map mostly based on advtrains, just download my map "Karsthafen Subway"

When can we expect to see distant signals?

EDIT: I managed to implement this myself. If you want my modified file, please let me know, then I'll publish it.

I added this somewhere around line 470 in advtrains_interlocking/signal_api.lua:

Code: Select all

if suppasp.dst.free == nil then
	local st = 2
	if isasp and not isasp.dst.free then st = 1 end
	form = form.."label[2.3,3;== Distant Signal ==]"
	form = form.."dropdown[3,3.5;2;dst_free;danger,free;"..st.."]"
end
In line 529, I replaced

Code: Select all

free = true,
with

Code: Select all

free = usebool(psl.suppasp.dst.free, fields.dst_free, "free"),

This makes the distant signal aspect settable from the menu, right.
However, I've reworked that dialog anyways in an upcoming merge (currently branch new_lzb).

The problem is rather that there is no useful concept to use distant signals, like linking it to a main signal. When done right, a distant signal should announce the aspect of the next main signal on the line.

Great to see you're updating this! I've been waiting for this feature for ages. I really like the idea of interlocking systems. What about a seperate simple distant signal (not a Ks one)? Also I noticed one problem: I cannot activate the new_lzb version for some reason.

As orwell says, it is. However you can apply the patch I wrote at hemiptera bug #144. Mind the formatting of the patch has been mangled a bit by hemiptera, what it means is just replace the line advtrains.detector.get with advtrains.get_train_at_pos.

It's not pretty to look at though and I recommend my drawmore branch (docs) of advtrains_netmapper if you want a serious mapping mapping tool for advtrains. I should get around to improving those docs and some configurabilty about world size and draw options soon..
