hi there,

is there a problem with the wiki ATM? i can't access it.

browser (firefox) says something about cookies, but they are no problem at all. both IE and Firefox deny access.

Steve hasent been around recently if the locomotion wiki is offline I would recomend Paaskys Locomotion File Index it has A LOT of the stuff http://koti.mbnet.fi/peksoft/lomo/index.html

thank you

my problem lies in editing XML.. so the WIKI is the only think which can help me

Whats the problem with the xml? Maybe I can help

i'm searching the variable for the turnaround of the train at the end of the track..

the train should turn but now it drives to the end and then drives backwards.

From memory, it's one of the bit variables (Bit_1 ?), but I'll try and check tonight, so I should have an answer for tomorrow. I know that whatever it is, it's set for steamers, but not for most diesels. In fact, if you've got them to hand, decompile the dats for either of the DM units from the London Underground pack I did, as they definitely had it set.

HTH

I hate to mess up the wiki thread.

yes it is bit_1, set that to "0" on all your train cars. if a car has that flag as "1" it will force that car to the end of your train AND it becomes the first car when the train reverses.

if you are trying to make a dual headed train with a matching engine at each side, it is the "dualhead" flag.

Bit_0 controls if the car behind it turns around (faces foward or reverses)when added to a train. (that is what is set on steamers.)

edit: if all cars are powerd, i think it drives in reverse on the round trip anyways. not sure how to fix that other then making it a EMU/DMU or putting a dummy car in the train.

thank you both.. i´ll check this as soon as i´m at home.

back on topic.. am i the only one where the wiki isn´t accessible?

I cannot acces it too...

Same as above

hmmm still no wiki, where has it gone???

It's on my to-do list. I just have no idea what I need to do to fix it.
I think there was a recent php update or something that broke some other stuff, and apparently the wiki too.

Steve, i need the known variables list, 'cause i want to make the overhead electric wired roads. Can you send me the whole list?

Ask paasky he has already done them

For those of you wishing to download the wiki, it is currently being hosted on http://www.amitrains.co.uk

Yes, the wiki is held on that site in the downloads section as some PDFs. My coursework has ended giving me hours more free time a day. The wiki is on my todo list, so it will get fixed soon. Along with a few other broken things on my website...

well there´s an update for the mediawiki..
