Need help with Train End Indicator DE/AT in my own mod

jeroezie · 21. Februar 2021

Hello, I am making a mod in Transport Fever 1 that adds a train end signal to the vanilla cargo wagons, using the files from the Train End Indicator DE/AT mod by Trunky. I want the signal only a appear in-game on the rear wagon of the train using backForwardParts/backBackwardParts. For some reason the signals are appearing on every wagon in the read, instead of only the rear wagon. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem? I have used the following code in the .mdl file:

Code

function data()
return {
boundingInfo = {
bbMax = {
7.9388990402222, 1.7026489973068, 4.6074352264404,
},
bbMin = {

I hope that someone is able to help me!

(Another question, is this place the right place for questions like this?)

The mentioned Train End Indicator mod is found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sha…1665686556&searchtext=end

You have 3 lods but only one axles entry, means that your axles for lod_1 and lod_0 won't work. And you have the lanterns in the 3rd mesh and this mesh has only 6 entries but you have used 12+13. Even if you had correctly used 5 + 6 it would not work because it is for the wrong lod

Feluno · 21. Februar 2021

MaikC It probably won't work for another reason as well:

As far as I'm concerned, you need one more pair of curly brackets around the content of configs = { },.

Also, as MaikC already mentioned, the game doesn't use incremental counting throughout the *mdl, but starts over counting in every new LOD.

The right configs entry therefore should be: (at least in theory, couldn't test it of course )

Code

            configs = {
                {
                    axles = { "vehicle/waggon/hbi1/lod_0_w1.msh" },
                },
                {
                    axles = { "vehicle/waggon/hbi1/lod_0_w1.msh" },
                },
                {
                    axles = { "vehicle/waggon/hbi1/lod_0_w1.msh" },
                    backForwardParts = { 5 },
                    backBackwardParts = { 6 },
                },
            },

Edit: Added modified file

Your modified file seems to work perfectly! Thanks for the help! I will take a better look at the indicated problems tomorrow, so I can get my other wagons working to.

Just a longer explanationof how that works:
