It doesn't need to be your own server.
A list of servers running the Advanced Trains-mod would also be useful.

Linuxworks. But it's down at the moment

I've noticed a small problem that isn't important, but I think that it should be fixed. On some of the train cars and trains, some of the things have been reflected incorrectly. One of them is the industrial engine's wheels and pipes. The cylinders are inverted so that you see the inside of it. Could you fix that?

Also, I think that the textures should optionally have pixels because it's hard to distinguish any corners otherwise.

Can you guys tell me how to install the new train mods so they all work? I have installed them all but only the tranlib shows up in the inventory. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

orwell wrote:Ok, schade.
I have redone the rail models, they have the power lines integrated now. For the masts, I will use mbb's model and some code from the cabels.lua you wrote. I think that's ok for you.
I don't want many different types of trains in the core modpack, but rather let the community (you) do more trains and publish them as separate mods. Users can then download what they want. I will link to all community-made trains in the forum post.
BTW, I could update the website. Or I just change the link to mbb's github version. mbb, do you want to update the website / should I link to your version?
Also, @mbb, did you read the message I wrote to your PR?

yes i read them
but can i get your new moddels?

That could be made quite small (think "Lummerland" :)

Or do some layout like a model-railroad, e.g. from rail3d
or jbss, or LokSim3d ...

Maybe as an offline-pack, e.g. modpack + map.sql + basic config,
with some tracks already built between 2-3 villages,
all as one download, ready to unpack and run...

1.7
Some changes:
- Redone rail models: they now look better and have MBB's rusty textures.
- Preparations for powerlines
- Some bugfixes
- Update manual and documentation
Next release will come soon and include power lines.

i think its verry comlicated to couple trains so i think wagoncoupeling like this would be great:

Orwell, you told what you deleted Tunnel Borer, but i have found undeleted code in the modpack from debugitems.lua:

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: minetest.register_tool("advtrains:tunnelborer", { description = "tunnelborer", groups = {cracky=1}, -- key=name, value=rating; rating=1..3. inventory_image = "drwho_screwdriver.png", wield_image = "drwho_screwdriver.png", stack_max = 1, range = 7.0, on_place = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing) end, --[[ ^ Shall place item and return the leftover itemstack ^ default: minetest.item_place ]] on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing) if pointed_thing.type=="node" then for x=-1,1 do for y=-1,1 do for z=-1,1 do minetest.remove_node(vector.add(pointed_thing.under, {x=x, y=y, z=z})) end end end end end, } )

hi orwell,

very very nice mod!

It is possible to make wagons like the shared chests?
And it is possible to make an "all drop button"?

Hey, a user just used the PC Naming Tool and the server crashed:

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

orwell, can you make a simpletrains mod as well? That runs on normal rails? We could have steam wagons that burn things similarly to the furnace, chest carts, player carts, and the like? It would be really appreciated as it would probably find a place on more servers as well as maybe even get in the default game? You seem to be a very good modder, that's why I ask. :)

OK, the problem lies primarily in the protector mod. It can't handle playername to be nil in is_protected. Normally, protection mods should deal with this. However, I will resolve why the player name is not passed to the function.

Someone made a mod that allows to link carts, so that they form a simple train. That would be better-suited for your purpose, I think.
There's a YT video, sth. like 'minetest cart linking'

All drop? I don't know what you mean.
The box wagon has a large inventory, as well as the wood wagon and the tank wagon.

I and user (and fireglow) are playing on fireglows server user asked me the thing with the chests
I said that he can post this in sheforum and when he is there he could post my idea with the dropp all button too.
so, I have a trainstation on fireglows server and I set hoppers under the rails .
the button could dropp all items of the boxwagonś inventorry

Klugscheiss:
It's bad practice to have the advtrains.zip in the git repo.
GitHub makes it easy for you, users can always download the current repo (master branch) using https://github.com/orwell96/advtrains/a ... master.zip

Posted: **Sun Mar 19, 2017 13:49**

Suggestion (perhaps bad): Make an advtrains organization (like the minetest organization). Then the user doesn't have to download also every source file. Then just make the asserts thing an extra repository.
