[SOLVED!!!!] Questions regarding multi-tile stations (Layout & Reserved Path Awareness)

[Quast65]

Hi all!!

I have a couple of questions regarding a (6-track wide, 7-platforms long) station I am trying to code.

First of all regarding station-layout for a 6x7 station (This I have in working order)
These are the action-2s I am using:

Code: Select all

 1191 * 14	 02 04 0F 81 0C 00 FF 01 0E 00 14 14 00 00

What I would like to know is if the numbers circled in red correspond with the numbers circled in green:

As this may be important for my next question


So, the next question...
I would like to make that station Reserved Path aware (so that the graphics of a row of platforms change when a train reserves a path through that row of platforms)
I have already managed to do that for single-tile stations, but not yet for multi-tile stations.
In case of single-tiles I use this code:

Code: Select all

2 graphics-blocks with their own "basic" Action-2 (codeline 336 & 346) and an action-2 that does the " reserved path magic" (codeline 348).

Now I want to impliment this into the multi-tile station.
What should I do?

Option-1:
Do I now give each graphics-block its own entire action-2 block (like the one in the first code-example)?
If so, should I then for the second graphics-block change the numbers I circled in red, to corresponding numbers circled in green, or do they stay the same?

Graphics-block 1 then ends up with Action2-ID

Code: Select all

0F

Graphics-block 2 then ends up with Action2-ID

Code: Select all

1F

Do I then combine those using an Action-2 that does the "reserved path magic", like this:

Code: Select all

02 04 20 81 44 00 01 01 1F 00 01 01 0F 00

And if that is correct, how should the Action-3 then look like (the last 4 bits)?

Option-2:
I only have 2 "basic" Action-2s at the end of each graphics-block, like this:

Code: Select all

*Graphicsblock-1*
02 04 00 00 01 00 00
*Graphicsblock-2*
02 04 01 00 01 00 00

Then I add the Action-2 that does the "reserved path magic"

Code: Select all

02 04 02 81 44 00 01 01 01 00 01 01 00 00

After that, should I then add just one Action-2-block that does the station-layout?
If so, do I need to change the numbers I circled in red, to corresponding numbers circled in green, or do they stay the same?
And how should the Action-3 then look like (the last 4 bits)?



Is one of these two options the right way to go? Or should it be done another way?
Help is appreciated!!

I have tried to narrow down the problem... Maybe this will make it easier to explain it and get some help

I now have this code (I have omitted the Action-1s and the Action-0 as those blocks are huge for a station this large and that information is not important for my current problem):

The Action-2 in codeline 1433 is to get different graphics when a train chooses a path through it.
The Action-2 block from line 1434 to 1448 is to get the layout I want.

This now happens ingame:

Example337.png (73.76 KiB) Viewed 2086 times

The layout is as I would like to have it, but as you can see nothing happens along the paths chosen by the trains...

But, when I change the Action-3 from:

Code: Select all

 1449 * 10	 03 04 01 29 01 FE 11 00 02 00

To:

Code: Select all

 1449 * 10	 03 04 01 29 01 FE 02 00 11 00

This happens:

Example338.png (70.24 KiB) Viewed 2086 times

There are now different graphics for the tiles along the chosen paths, but the layout is completely wrong....


So, its either the one or the other...
But I would like both features!


So, how do I combine them?
Do I need another Action-2 to combine both (if so, how should that Action-2 look like) and then referr to that one in my Action-3 (and how would that Action-3 look like)?
Or do I need to somehow insert the Action-2 for the different graphics into the Action-2 block for the layout (and then how would the Action-3 look like)? Or the other way around (make two Action-2 blocks for the layout and combine those using an Action-2 like in line 1433)?
Or am I completely wrong with either possible solution?

[Quast65]

I have solved it!!!!!

Writing down the problem always helps

This is my solution:

I have changed codeline 1448 from this:

Code: Select all

 1448 * 14    02 04 11 81 0C 00 FF 01 10 00 14 14 00 00

To this:

Code: Select all

 1448 * 14    02 04 11 81 0C 00 FF 01 10 00 14 14 02 00

And the Action-3 from this:

Code: Select all

 1449 * 10    03 04 01 29 01 FE 11 00 02 00

to this:

Code: Select all

 1449 * 10	 03 04 01 29 01 FE 11 00 00 00

Which gives this ingame:

The correct layout with different graphics for the tiles along a chosen path!!!
