Is it possible to specify mapgen parameters, such as noise seed, spread, etc.?

Is Gemedi supposed to be cana? While it looks like cana, I can't use it on a spinning wheel.

X11-specific maybe? I reliably get this issue as well when doing any window management operations, likely because my window manager grabs the X11 server when doing that.

these information displays just got installed and they already fail. nice.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old LCD screens:

don't they queue up anywhere? or is it flawless? to be honest i am scared to even try starting it, knowing my phone it wouldnt handle that well or at all...


The stations are programmed to let trains leave at regular intervals so they usually flow well. If there is a bit of delay, the system can ...

I took metrotest 3.7 and did all the interlocking from "Station 17" (the one in desert stone bricks, after grey and orange "Mines") to New End. The line now runs 68 trains with a train every 40 seconds. Most stations have info-screens with the next 3 trains. For ease of development all stations are ...

I made a full map of the line with the Wikipedia {{routemap}} template: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nazalassa/Sandbox.

And i want to report a bug. the trains arent stopping at the red signal. the driveway is set and the automatic is on, but nowhere its stoping and its all time driving in the other trains


Dumb question but is the signal's influence point set to the track on which trains should stop and if yes ...

Some stations have extra tracks after them which allow trains to reverse, so in these stations I added some levers on the walls to remotely switch the turnout from the platform. Such levers also have a sign next to them that explain this.

i'm not sure if i like that, i will check this after i ...

Merge done, I am checking small details but it shouldn't be long.

EDIT: all done and checked, should work properly. Download here .

Which colors do you want?

yes

Will do :)

For section 2, do you like this version? It is basically yours but wider.

Also, if you wish i can add advtrains platforms made of colored concrete (the ones with a yellow line on top).

wait, is this a thing? or you mean you could make those? i am searching for such in a long time, i mentioned that i am trying to find such platforms back when i had reddit and posted ...

on section 2 i like mine a bit better,but i would also accept yours, i leave the choice to you... merging looks nice;
on section 1 i would like to keep mine, between them i would/may add a new tunnel with both tracks which connects to the rotated railsof desert stone station;
with the slopes to ...

Section 1 also has the slope from the "forest" station to the "mines" station.


The only difference between our version is my slope is less steep than yours (I rebuilt it with long slopes) so it ends and starts earlier. Here is the bottom of the slope, with my version and your version:

For section 1: first we have the part between the grey-orange "mines" station until the next "desert stone" station.

This is the "mines" station, with both our changes together: orange - yours, blue - mine.
The track I added continues (on the right of the image) towards the next station.

Section 2:

Basically track section 2 is this tunnel:

Which on my version looks like this:

Also, since I merged what followed (I did a backup before of course) here is the current end of the section, where it joins my double tracks:

i cannot install your map due to android regression i posted an issue about a long time ago(seems like devs will never do anything about it LOL. long story short, when i change anything in the folders of minetest, the game will be unable to read anything including settings.


Dumb question (I do ...

i want to improve a lot esp.about track spacing. will be done as i progress through. but you really tried it, i though this is just a joke or something…


The merger sort of works so I tried it today on the metrotest map.

Turns out sqldiff metro-3.5/map.sqlite metro-3.6/map.sqlite | sed 's/^INSERT INTO/INSERT OR REPLACE INTO/' | sqlite3 metro-local does the job of updating the database, but, not the nodedb, travelnet save data, etc. which may thus have issues. Command execution (on my system) took 14 minutes.

Also, a thing not related to this: when I attempt to place a wagon on a slope the game crashes. The wagon gets placed anyway and is where I placed it when I restart the game.



Found a bug in the latest version of Advtrains that causes a crash when a train is placed on a slope. Further ...

Is it intended that all wagons can drive on all tracks?

Coming soon (well I hope):

Found a bug in the latest version of Advtrains that causes a crash when a train is placed on a slope. Further investigations revealed it happens everytime a train is placed but is not given an integer position, such as on slopes or on Linetrack's "roadline on a slab" (which is offset upwards by half ...

I can not find how to remove a TCB from a track section anymore; the TCB formspec does not longer show the corresponding button.

Reconciling map versions can be hard indeed. Perhaps someone could host a server with Metrotest? It doesn't need to be public, maybe even could have no privs for normal players, just admins, or be a private server. It would be easier to not conflict then.

If not, at least consider tools like ...
