Wie ermittel Tpf2 Bahnsteiglängen? (Länge fehlerhaft in Monorail Mod) [solved]

Moin,

ich versuche gerade bei Majuen's Monorail Mod (Steam workshop) die Bahnsteiglänge zu fixen. Das Spiel sagt 20m, allerdings passen die 34m Doppeltraktionen perfekt in den Bahnhof. Allerdings ist mir auch nach einige rumprobieren & lesen des offiziellen Modding Wikis nicht klar geworden, wie die Bahnsteiglänge ermittelt wird. Hängt die Bahnsteiglänge von der Länge der Edges der Bahnhofgleise ab? Oder vom Mesh/Model des Bahnsteigs? Oder von den Lanes auf dem Bahnsteig?

Oder sind die in den Bahnhof integrierten Signal eventuell die Ursache?

Bin damals gescheitert & habe es heute mit einem LLM gelöst. Die personEdges beinflussen die Längenkalkulation für das Einstiegstempo & das wurde mit einem Update dahin geändert:

[h1]The bug is in the station

.mdl

terminals — the

personEdges

list[/h1]

[h2]1. The two station files[/h2]

monorail_station_02.mdl

monorail_station_02b.mdl

monorail_station_static_lanes_modul00.mdl

monorail_station_03.mdl

monorail_station_03b.mdl

monorail_station_static_lanes_modul.mdl

All six of these carry an identical

transportNetworkProvider

terminal, so all six need the same fix. (

…_wo_lanes

,

…_static_modul

,

…_entry_modul

,

…_footbridge_modul

have no terminal / empty terminals — no change needed.)

[h2]2. How the length is computed[/h2]

Since the update, TF2 derives a terminal's platform length as the sum of the lengths of the edges named in

personEdges

, and compares that against the train length for the loading‑speed bonus/malus. It does not use the whole lane — which is exactly why this mod regressed.

[h2]3. Why your stations come out at 20 m[/h2]

Each terminal is:

{ personNodes = { 3 , 10 , 18 , 24 }, personEdges = { 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 11 , 12 } }

Those 8 edges are only the four door‑pair strips (

--doors_1+2 … --doors_7+8

), each 2.5 m:

Meanwhile the platform lane itself runs from y = −18 to y = +18 = 36 m. The game reports 20 m because it only ever sums the listed

personEdges

— the rest of the platform is invisible to it. That is precisely the "20 m instead of ~40 m" you're seeing.

[h2]4. The fix[/h2]

Make

personEdges

cover the whole platform lane (all 14 edges

0…13

), not just the door strips.

[h2]5. Notes / verification[/h2]

• The
  
  Code

  .mtl

  files are not involved.

  Code

  .mtl

  files only define materials (shaders/textures); they carry no geometry or lengths, so they cannot produce a 20 m/40 m error.

• The
  
  Code

  personNodes

  are fine — they are the door‑alignment points and should stay as they are.

• Reaching a true 40 m: the platform lane currently spans 36 m (
  
  Code

  y = −18…+18

  ). If the intended platform is the full 40 m module, additionally move the two outer platform‑lane nodes (

  Code

  { 6.2, -18, … }

  and

  Code

  { 6.2, 18, … }

  ; the

  Code

  −6.2

  ones in the

  Code

  _b

  /module files) to

  Code

  ±20

  , which brings the full‑lane

  Code

  personEdges

  sum to exactly 40 m.

• After the edit: open the station in the build menu — the length shown should now be the full platform, and the double‑traction monorail should no longer show the loading‑speed malus.

Bottom line: the fault is the terminal's

personEdges

in the station

.mdl

files — they enumerate only the 20 m of door‑adjacent edges, so the game now computes a 20 m platform and flags the double‑traction unit as "longer than the station." Extend

personEdges

to the whole platform lane and the malus disappears.
