I'll rewrite this eventually
https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/trains

Original Mod Post:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: [b]Test it[/b] - Do not build anything across the 0 node on the x or z I am currently fixing that Check up on this regularly, I update this a lot (Revision 0020 currently) [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/4o9vjxzsns24dxg/trains0020.tar.gz?dl=0]tar.gz[/url] [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/optvh3umijeiyxw/trains0020.zip?dl=0].zip[/url] I am currently creating a multi entity train mod, here is a video of the current state: http://youtu.be/B5PP8k8KcIo The main focus of this mod is so that you can haul a lot of stuff across great distances, transport things and generally have a great time. All of the trains and cars will be able to hook together and will work as one singular entity. There will also be weight to the cars and torque to the train, so you will be forced to hook together engines to pull the cars. I am going to have: Planned Things -Steam trains with and without a tender -Minecarts -Storage cars Possible Things -Water stations that automatically refill your water -Coal stations which automatically refill your tender -Mining bore car which attaches to the front of the train -Passanger cars -Liquid cars -Flatbed cars for storing vehicles from other mods if there are any -A crane -A caboose I'm still working on bugs (ie serialization, or if only one part of the train spawns, which will force load chunks) and making the cars more modular, maybe I'll even work it into an API (unlikely though). This will take quite a long time to get done, so if anyone can create meshes that would be awesome!

This is quite an awesome mod! I can't wait to see how it turns out. That pink engine looks amazing. :P
How exactly did you get the entities to act as one and calculate the rotation correctly?

Posted: **Fri Jan 16, 2015 10:10**

Awesome. Will that be like the Minecraft train mod?

It's nice that you're back.

+1 good work ...

Oh I sure hope you keep this up! I just showed my kids the video. They are SUPER excited about this!
Hell... I'm excited!

Tables and IDs! And for rotation see the code below.

Yes. That was the inspiration for it actually. I wanted to do this mod a few years back but I was too inexperienced. The main difference between that mod and mine is that:
1.) ALL engines and wheels will be animated based on speed
2.) Due to the way mine works, there won't be issues with the way train's models not facing the correct direction due to the way that the direction is calculated

This is the calculations, it positions the engine in between the two trucks and sets the yaw based on them. This will work whether the train is going backwards or forwards.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: --pos local pos1 = train_table[self.id][1].object:getpos() local pos2 = train_table[self.id][2].object:getpos() local cpos = self.object:getpos() local pos = {x=(pos2.x+pos1.x)/2, y=cpos.y, z=(pos2.z+pos1.z)/2} self.object:setpos(pos) --yaw local vec = {x=pos2.x-pos1.x, y=0, z=pos2.z-pos1.z} local yaw = math.atan(vec.z/vec.x)+math.pi/2 if pos2.x < pos1.x then yaw = yaw + math.pi end self.object:setyaw(yaw)

And thank you! With my new diet and increased knowledge I'll be able to pump out some truly incredible mods, but don't quote me. :P

Just wait until the train is complete and pulls a few cars, then you'll be truly excited, haha.

Thank you!

Also, here is a new video:
http://youtu.be/bqPDE2Xdgbs

The added features are:
-Trucks keep an even distance from each other
-Trucks force load a 5x5 area so that they can be autonomous
-Everything looks a little better

Wow! You're making a lot of progress fast.
However, the turning doesn't look quite as nice as the last one.

That's because I didn't add additional space to the trucks to fit the model, lets see if I can post a quick video of it adjusted in a bit

Posted: **Sat Jan 17, 2015 04:02**

This is gonna be awesome! *jumping up and down*

Posted: **Sat Jan 17, 2015 04:39**

The distance between trucks is now adjustable so here's a video of smoother turning:

Whoa, that's great! I hope you can use a better texture soon.
Also change the object params, so it collides with other objects :)

Great work, this looks amazing.
Two questions, is the code on github or available to download at all, and are you planing on setting up switches?

Thank you very much!
Not yet, this code is way to young to be usable or even testable. When I work out all the bugs I will put it up for download.

Also, here's a new video:

Now this will go great for New York :D also great amazing bygone awesome.

Might be an very useful if had passenger cart Fit players. maybe 10 or even 25. depending how many seats. Also I see in the near Future an "The Poler Express" map.

This mod looks amazing. I can't wait until its 100% complete. Keep up the good work. :)

Posted: **Sun Jan 18, 2015 03:39**

Yeah! What he said ^^

Posted: **Sun Jan 18, 2015 20:12**

+1 I am loving this. I hope that this does get far enough to be useable very soon.

Posted: **Sun Jan 18, 2015 20:33**

Test it - Do not build anything across the 0 node on the x or z I am currently fixing that
Also this is just currently a mine cart

EDIT
Alright, it's ready to be tested

Posted: **Sun Jan 18, 2015 21:55**

I tested it and it needs a lot of work before being released to the public. Keep up the good work though. Heres the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Et3p0 ... e=youtu.be

Did the file you downloaded say 0015 or 0016?

Hey guys, here's a new video of the current state of the new code:

Thanks for the vid! Yeah... those buggers can move!
Question. As development moves on, do you think it will be possible for train cars to follow behind the engine? If so... it will be epic. It's certain my kids will have me making models of their favorite trains. We go rail fanning all the time. They are huge enthusiasts.

They have hundreds, maybe even a thousand or more bucks invested in their HO scale train sets. You may be saving me a ton of cash! LOL

Yes actually, that was the main part of the original idea. :)

Here's the newest code, now all entities spawn, and the speed is set to max, so whoops lol. :p You can edit it in the .init
You need at least a 7 straight of track for it to move :)
