For the train HUD? The current implementation uses green to indicate that the oncoming signal does not have a speed limit and yellow to indicate an oncoming (non-zero) speed limit. Red is used to indicate an oncoming red signal. It seems like the train HUD code has not been changed between master a...

First of all thanks for the feedback! Right, I didn‘t touch on all the things. I am planning to record two more videos which will come back to these questions (remember the third track on the new station?). Probably next week. I thought of uploading to YouTube and I will do that in the long term. As...

Hello all, as you have maybe notices, I have been working on some new features on what is commonly dubbed the "route_prog_rework" branch. In the last weeks these changes have taken form and I made a video showcasing the new features. https://advtrains.de/videos/advt_2025_01_15_rpr_showcase...

Important notice to anyone programming new train addons (mods that add wagons): When registering wagons, please pass 'modname:wagonname' as first parameter to register_wagon , if you do not do that already. For legacy reasons if the wagon name does not include a colon, advtrains automatically prepen...

Regarding this selfreference topic: All database data within advtrains is structured as a tree, it is one of my design principles that there is always exactly one place where data lives. All other references are weak by design (e.g. implemented through a string id). Maybe a bit oldschool but it has ...

Advtrains 2.4.7 Hello all, after welcoming my second child (IRL) end of September and having some sleepless nights, I got back to advtrains and found a myriad of patches submitted to the mailing list. Special thanks to 1F616EMO/nazalassa and Maverick for the contributions, to Tanavit for the french...

Hi all, After recent reports of copyright issues, I have decided that providing the mod with music included may be too risky. Please be aware that I am republishing the mod without any music, and you will need to add your own background music if you want to use it. Please follow the instructions in ...

As of now, tank wagons still have the inventory slots as before. The liquid content is completely independent. Good point though.

In basic_trains, I will eventually remove the old-style inventory from the tank wagons.

Advtrains 2.4.3 There are not many new features, but a few improvements. Loading tracks now unload only the wagon at their position, when the area is loaded LuaATC: get_fc() and set_fc() commands Larger selection boxes for tracks Bugfixes Craft recipes for Ks speed indicators Most notable addition ...

Hi everyone, I suppose you all are waiting for news of exciting new features in advtrains. Bad news is that I have become addicted to TechAge and have spent my evenings building powerplants and oil refineries instead of working on advtrains. Good news is that I got fed up with transporting oil by fi...

I think that AdvTrains needs to make some moves to fix some quick easy things that have been sitting stagnant in the mailing list, which has a chilling effect on contribution. new-ks, route programming rework and so on are good projects for the future but they take a long time. Part of good project...

Orwell: sorry for posting immediately again. This just came to my mind as you are looking into mbb's patches. In the new-ks branch I wrote advtrains_signals_japan/init.lua to automatically generate the models for the Japanese signals (as I did not want to spend too much time on making the signal fa...

I would like to remind everyone in this thread to stop feeding the trolls. The more that is said in response, the more everyone's time is wasted. Agree. A few weeks ago I took some time to look over the mailing list posts, but from what I've seen, most, if not all of the patches there are in fact a...

Hi, this is directed to everyone maintaining mods on top of advtrains core. Everyone who is not acquainted with the inner workings of advtrains may skip this . To get forward with implementing a better interlocking route programming system, I'd need to make a breaking change in the way track connect...

I've also already looked at the async API. As it is now, it will only be of limited value to advtrains. There cannot be any shared state between main thread and worker thread, and the state copies would probably induce even more overhead. One thing I didn't think about yet is the saving, which I mus...

Advtrains 2.4.2 Hi all, I am happy to inform you that I recently completed my degree. In the next few weeks I want to take some time to catch up on the developments in the Minetest community and advance with my plans for advtrains. As a starting point, I published a new release of advtrains. Since ...

It should work this way. Did you restart minetest after adding the music? Are there any errors in the log (debug.txt)? Simply adding the oggs to the folder is not sufficient because the mod needs to know the length of the audio. Minetest doesn't give this information. Also this way the mod can displ...

Notice regarding the wiki Due to a recent incident, wiki registrations are suspended indefinitely. Also, editing pages on the wiki is temporarily disabled. Please note that there was an account "evictionbot" created today, that appeared to have deleted all pages written by 56independent. ...

Wiki is accessible again. The problem was caused by a configuration mistake I made yesterday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Was yw05 sagt ist richtig: ich habe bisher einfach vergessen, Craftingrezepte dafür hinzuzufügen. Teilweise habe ich aber auch keine sinnvolle Idee, wie diese Craftingrezepte aussehen könnten. Wenn jemand von euch ein gutes Konzept dafür entwerfen könnte, würde mich das sehr freuen. Ich würde dass d...

Hello everyone, Like Blockhead said, it is true that there has not been much movement in the advtrains core. I also think that I need to apologize for not pushing out a new core release for so long - IMO there are some nice improvements that are not officially released yet. As for me, I am currently...

By default, trains collide with slabs and slopes. That requires a patch in the moreblocks mod. Try this patch. Since some time we have the "forgiving collision" setting in advtrains. With this, trains (buses and ferries in this mod) will only collide with nodes that are fully opaque nodes...

The subway code is something like (A?)GPL'd (not sure if 2 or 3), written by orwell. I've never put down a license statement, so here it is. GPLv3 or later - (c) 2017-2021 orwell96 and contributors. I hope all people who edited something in agree with this. Crossing signals and Union Stations What ...

The media license is supposed to be CC-BY-SA-3.0. We agreed on using CC-BY-SA-3.0 many years ago. The mention of CC-BY-NC-SA is a residual that I forgot to change. EDIT: namely, during a period of a few months in 2016-2017 media was restricted to CC-BY-SA-NC, until rubenwardy pointed out the unfortu...

Documentation on how to define wagons is in fact there, in API.md in the 'advtrains' mod. This also documents the new coupler types. Thanks. Right now, modelling is proving a right pain: https://i.imgur.com/tQtGPC1.png https://i.imgur.com/80T9kEH.png https://i.imgur.com/X2DByK1.png https://i.imgur....
