Hi everyone,

I'm a little bit confused. I have no clue what to do with the station rail.

Sounds to me like a bug. Perhaps, can I ask you to make a few screenshots showing the steps you took? If I have time in the coming days I can also try to reproduce it.

Advtrains is now on Codeberg

Starting now, I am mirroring the advtrains repository to Codeberg. This is to provide an alternative access path in the wake of the frequent DDOS attacks on the bananach.space server, and to make it easier to contribute for people who are on Codeberg (which should be ...

Thank you for your fast reply.
After a long long search, i found the Problem.
In advtrains/init.lua :
-- =======================Development/debugging settings=====================
local NO_SAVE = true

I have no clue why ???

Set to false, all is Perfect, except the removing of the tcb´s

Thank ...

I ran into two issues after an unexpected server crash. I'm not yet sure whether they are related, but the second one is 100% reproducible.

After an unexpected server crash, all Advtrains save files disappeared:


No, I am not aware of this issue yet. I can only imagine that there was a lua ...

I am trying to set up timetables and understand how it works.

I configured a route in the line editor. However, no updates appear in the timetable formspec. Only "No departures for the selected line found in the near future" exists. The "Last passages" table is also empty.

What am I doing wrong ...

Hi all,

advtrains is now on Codeberg. Codeberg will host secondary advtrains-related repositories which are not on bananach.space.

https://codeberg.org/advtrains

I will gradually migrate everything that was on notabug.org to there.

orwell

Hi all,
When I have some free time in the next weeks I‘ll have to migrate the notabug repos to some other place (probably codeberg). It is on my list already. In the meantime, thanks for stepping in.
orwell

It does not, yes. I can't see any error messages, the only saving-related thing I found was loading the save files.


Hi nazgurth,

Thanks for pointing this out. I confirmed that I made a stupid mistake when exporting the mod for ContentDB, and left the NO_SAVE mode enabled. TODO for myself ...

(Minetest 5.9.0 Singleplayer)

I placed a train (Train ID: 129310) with Line and Routingcode "U1", placed a timetable and created a new line:

Line: "U1",
Variant: nil,
Dest. Display: nil,
Disabled: false,
Contiues: nil,
Stations:{
0:{
St. Time: 1,
Station Code: "SpawnHBF",
Mode: "Normal ...

Whatever they were, they exist in the 2.9.0 advtrains_interlocking, advtrains_line_automation and advtrains_luaautomation locale folders, but not the 2.8.3 ones. Their file type is "Backup file" and MIME type is "application/x-trash". The icons look like holographic/ghost text file icons.


Hm ...

advtrains 2.9.0 released.

Major changes:

Railway time: wrap after one real-life week to prevent number precision issues and prepare for future timetable updates
improve internationalization infrastructure (remove poconvert workaround, update german translation)
new "code header" feature by ...

This bug is very old (I think it traces to the very beginning). I have never investigated since it didn’t bother me so much, but it is one of two causes:

1. when the wagon stops, its acceleration is not set to 0 until next time the 2-second force update timer elapses (bug in advtrains wagons ...

I tried to remove a Y-turnout and place a normal track in the same location. I removed the turnout, no problem. I tried to place the track, the game crashed with this error:

AsyncErr: Lua: Runtime error from mod 'advtrains' in callback environment_Step(): ...ti/common/.minetest/mods/advtrains ...

I made a quick UI mockup to describe this idea, although without long descriptions


Thanks, I see now. I'm giving the docs more thought.

What is causing this? Sometimes, when the train stops at the platform (stoprail) and wagon is stopped (the doors are opening to ...

error msg from server is abbreviated.
typical entry looks as

Spos_in_trainparts:N1
Swagon_flipped:B0

Yes, I also think it’s file corruption. I think writing the file stopped in the middle. Can you check, what ...

Nice to hear from you. I actually really love the influence point because I can use it to make the trains stop at a natural distance instead of clipping through.

I have a general quality of life patch that is very much a WIP, as in changing every day and only tested in Singleplayer, but you're ...

i made a bombadier bilevel model w textures excluding reference image (which i just googled)
Screenshot_20260124_094300.png
i am not skilled enough to turn this into a train, (the texture should have no alpha where the windows are but i could not figure out how) bilevel.zip contains the ...

I rebuilt the bumper model and gave it the current shared track texture but I haven't decided how it should look otherwise.

The two red dots are too iconic to retire


Here you go. :)

Ich habe keine Rückmeldungen erhalten, also kann ich leider keinen Stand anmelden.

Ich werde trotzdem zu den CLT hinfahren, vielleicht sieht man sich ja.

Hi all,

sorry for the unrelated post, but:
The advtrains wiki has been updated. Please report here if you encounter any issues. Thanks!

- orwell

Ich bin bisher noch allein. Falls jemand noch überlegt, ob er/sie mit dabei sein möchte, meldet euch gern bis Sonntag bei mir.

Nicht genug Helfer, es wird dieses Jahr keinen Stand geben.

Hallo liebe Community,

schon seit längerem hatten gpcf und ich die Idee, zu den Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen einen Stand zu Luanti zu organisieren. 2020 wurde das Event aber wegen COVID kurzfristig abgesagt und seitdem haben wir keinen neuen ...

I think, this happens when the same track section is part of a route twice. So something like
Start signal -> section A -> section B -> section A -> …
This is currently not supported because a track section can only be locked once. So if you have this kind of setup try adding a tcb in between so ...

More problems ^%$

I have two signals, with routes, the one is showing a lock conflict with the other, even though I deleted the other route, and the other signal, it still shows as locked, essentially meaning I can't run a through train.


You can clear the locked switches by right-click with ...
