[Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [1.7.2]

[Andrey01]

I have got error, when i switch from one track to another the train, the train goes in the opposite direction, here the screenshots:

The train is switching from one track to another it


The train is going back

Andrey01 looks like you don't have a switch between the two tracks. With the setup you have now the train doesn't see the other track because of the lack of the switcher track. You need to use the track tool to create the switch. Left click where the connecting track needs to go and right click the track until the switch lines up with the two tracks.

this mod should be removed. it's too minecrafty.

[orwell]

Is this a reference to the knockback thread?
If not, please tell me what makes you think so :)

[fireglow]

Just ignore him, it's borderline trolling.

[orwell]

I know
See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14834

[ABJ]

No it's sarcasm, for crying out loud :)

[Andrey01]

What is sarcasm?What are you about?

[ABJ]

Saying something while meaning the opposite.

[DS-minetest]

Saying something while meaning the opposite.

This is irony.

[Andrey01]

Possibly will be next version 1.7.0 with new trains and stuffs?I am still wanting for it.

[ABJ]

I had to disable the mod after I got stuck in a train, couldn't operate doors or even move the train.

I consider you must read manual untill using the trains

[ABJ]

D99d I read the whole freaking thing I even used the controls correctly and sometime before I was able to open/close doors and move the train but now suddenly I am stuck train won't work.

To come out from train you must press Shift+E

[ABJ]

Not true. I just checked.

[Andrey01]

Not true. I just checked.

I don`t know what this is for error, you will ask to Orwell

[orwell]

Sneak and your use key, and hold it down for some time.
Or hold sneak and right-click.
The manual is a bit outdated.

i made an PR on github when it is merged there is one new train

i made a first test of traincabels:

i made a first test of traincabels:

i want to make them with the tracks api but i don´t understandt it @orwell can you help me with the understanding?

[Andrey01]

I consider you should add sounds for opening/closing of doors and also sounds of going

[DS-minetest]

I consider you should add sounds for opening/closing of doors and also sounds of going

advtrains is really missing sounds but the priority for door sounds are relative low I think. More important would be eg. sounds for break and acceleration.
You could search for good sounds eg. here: http://www.freesound.org/. Perhaps they will be used.

Of course.
Nice models. However I thought of implementing the power lines by adding a line mesh to the rail models and just make the texture transparent when lines are not wanted. But masts are still required.
Can you put the models you made into the assets directory in the repo and PR?

BTW good news, when I do this, I can remap the UVs as well, so your rail texture looks good on switches :)

[ABJ]

You would of course need to add resource-consumption to the trains as well, for these power-lines in a survival context.

BTW this is one of the best MT mods ever.

This is looks like rails of trams or electric trains

I have thought a bit about that, but my conclusion was that it would quickly become annoying - especially because it'd be the same sound (or the same few sounds) repeated countless times. Unlike e.g. block digging sounds, acceleration and braking sounds are a few seconds long, making the repetition more annoying. Whether the sounds are environment recordings or synthesized sounds wouldn't make much difference in terms of annoyance, I think. Unless there are extremely "soft-sounding" trains out there that I do not know about...

Anyway, for your listening displeasure (you have been warned), some subway sounds:
https://tny.im/dl/ml/ts/ml_dooropening.ogg (not very interesting: just a series of clicks...)
https://tny.im/dl/ml/ts/ml_doorclosing.ogg - these beeps are the reason all this was recorded in the first place, one of my many side projects involves developing an app capable of spatial orientation using sound cues and other things, in places without GPS reception. But Fast Fourier Transforms don't work as well as I hoped and the project has been put on hold indefinitely. Perhaps I'll need to try a different approach, more similar to how Shazam recognizes tracks. I also have a wide assortment of subway bells and chimes, but the copyright situation on these is less clear - even though it's still environment sounds.

Train acceleration and breaking, as heard inside the train:

...and as heard on the platform:

Orwell seems an old bug is back. If I set up four detector tacks the two end tracks will pivot 90 degrees after the train rolls over them. When that happens the lighting bug in MT appears. If I remove the detector tracks the lighting bug does not come back.

Pivots here Pivots here
=====X===============X============X==============X======
= Regular track
X Detector track

I have never used four detector tracks before so I never would of seen that problem. I use the detector tracks to operate train gates at road crossings.

[orwell]

So, detector rails rotate after a train rolls over them? I have no idea...
Lighting bugs are a concern of the engine, I can't do much about it...
