For the latest version of my scm you also have to define train_dl and train_dr in the generic.ide.
I'm not sure what the best values are, so I let mark answer this one.

BTW you'll have to add empty col-files for the door models also to the generic.col.
I just copied one of the existing empty col-files ( e.g. "line" in lcgeneric.col )


BTW.

The train vanishes when it is only a little distance away, while the doors can be seen from a distance. The setting I use in generic.ide are equal for all:
5843, train, train, 1, 240, 128
5844, train_dl, train_dl, 1, 240, 128
5845, train_dr, train_dr, 1, 240, 128

Is the one I am using it is self edited with excel so there may be some errors. Right now I'm trying to get the col to work properly I also am trying to tweak the ide settings but I need to find the known definitions thread godk posted. My train is bumpy so I think I need to raise it slighty more.

Both the generic.ide (in gta3maps folder) and Objects.dat (in data folder) will need to be edited but I am trying to tweak them both. For some reason I can break the train which is no good.

I found the thread I needed as it was pinned but I found it using the search function.

Thanx for that file,

You might find godk's tutorial In the tutarials's forum pinned archive topic.

PatrickW:
Run Down That Guy has made a semi working col file for the train but I'd like to leave it up to him to release. About the door issue is it possible that the doors do not want to open because they were initially told to stick to the train? So when you go near the doors they try to open but glitch because they are also told to stick to the train.

Out of curiosity where did you get the first spath0.dat file? Hand made or converted from gta3 - 350x?

The path file needs some tweaking aswell. I am basically trying to tweak all that I can right now but no values has satisfied me yet.

Working col-file would be cool, I'm very curious for RDTG's work.

I have the same feeling as you about the doors, because I told the doors to follow the "wanderer", which also moves the trains. The doors just stick to that position. None of the available object movement opcodes ( throw_object, move_object) can get it away from threre. What we need is a opcode that decouples an object from the "wanderer" object, but R* doesn't use it, so I doubt there is one.... I'll look further.....

The col file I supplied, was handmade, by just walking around the tracks and storing player positions. You can also use flight3.dat, that's the path th eheli used in the earlier releases. I made my own because I couldn't get it working in the beginning, and I though it might be because the file had much more pathpoints than the original.
When switching spath0.dat the station positions in the scm file have to be corrected.

I'll be working on the scm file, but it's a bit hectic IRL this week, so don't expect to much progress....

[Opius]

Actually, I think only the train car should be attached to the wanderer, since that means the doors could move indepenatly.

Refer to above code for an idea on how to rig the doors to follow the train anyway.

[Mark Pagliaro]

When using the flight3.dat file as the spath0.dat the 2 train cars merge into 1 slightly after the triads train stop and the train remains stopped. It seems to be a smoother path (most likely because it has more lines) However its x or y axis is off a tiny bit.

Is this the same reason it didn't work for you?

if you really want to see a video I just did a fast one. it shows that you can't get in until you press enter, the animation, and the camera and the name( just like being in a car) and the women talking (when you have stars) say that you are in a white train or smth , not 100% sure since I don't use it a lot...

btw, the train doesn't normally leave as soon as your in, I just entered it at the last second .

[Mark Pagliaro]

Is it possible to move 1 object in a certain dff file and not the others? If so I could put the doors in the train dff file and just increase the object count on the train. The thing is I don't think this is possible because as I gather:
1. only 1 col per dff
2. how would the engine know what object in the dff it is refering too.

It seems odd that the original path -350x will not work becaause it would make the ride look smoother. I even tried reducing the lines to the original length of spath0.dat (79 lines) but that failed to. I just would like to get the corners looking better.

[PatrickW]

@opius:
I did read your code, and coming from one of my hero's, offcourse I tested it. But placement of the doors like that seems to be to slow, it looks rather restless.
Also there's a problem where the train is going up or down a slope. The doors stay horizontal, while the train is at an angle, and I don't think we have an opcode for sniffing that angle yet.
Any advice is very welcome here..

@mark:
The reason that other paths don't work without adaptation is that my code needs a certain amount of overlap between the beginning of the path and the end. The overlapping piece must be at least include the stretch of rails where the trains stop at the station that is above the water. I need that overlap section, to reposition the train to the beginnning of the path, while it stands there.

I assume the converted path doesn't have an overlap, that both trains will just run to the end of the path, without reaching the last station.

I'm not sure what you wanted to achieve by putting the doors into the same dff file, but as you said, how would we identify each of objects. As far as I know, all dff files that contain multiple objects are handled hardcoded.

To get the path smoother in the corners, we could just repeat the process that I initially created the path with. Just this time, we'll have need more player positions in the bends.
I used barton's code-creator to record all the positions, and output them in the appropriate format.

[Mark Pagliaro]

Ah I didn't notice that it will allow me to work with the path now that I know. Is it ever weird see the train in the vice engine. Maybe myraid will adapt the rail transport after seeing how this is being converted.

[PatrickW]

My part of the work to get this train on the tracks is free for everybody to use

One more point to watch when editing the spath0.dat file; currently in the scm file the position of the last station ( above water) is set at 40.0 meters from the beginning of the path. If you want it elsewhere, just send me the path file and i'll figure out the correct position and adapt the main.scm file to it.

[Mark Pagliaro]

That explains the late stop there. I'll send it as soon as I think it is complete. I don't know though I think maybe I should start looking to decode the train thread myself so I can change stuff like the location of station, distance between wanderers etc instead of bugging you all the time. I guess it would be a good start to learning the scm anyways. I have really enjoyed this thread I guess it is cause I like working with others who are superior then myself. It reminds me of back when LC started and Killer.ip and I were working together. There is still stuff I'd like to add like the lights and stuff.

[PatrickW]

If you take this as an encouragement to learn scm coding,
I can only comment that this thread has served yet another noble purpose

Have a look at the pinned tutorial topic in the missioncoding forum.
And don't be affraid to ask any question....


Have fun

[Mark Pagliaro]

Well I found reference to the spath0.dat file in the gta-vc.exe the interesting thing though is the 0 is defined like %d so it may be possible to make a spath1.dat file and have the subway follow it.

Even more interesting is seeing the message for need more space for moving objects followed by alot of empty space in the exe file. If we could muniplate these to add more spath.dat files we could get the staunton - shoreside lift bridge operational and the subway- train operational on seperate paths.

removed for time being:
I did get the train to follow in the subway for fun though using my subway path instead or the portland l-tracks path. For some reason GTAIII co-ords get messed up when convert -350X the train is slightly off center of the tracks I do not see the z axis being interfeared with in the equation however the Y axis may be effected. This is why I removed my pre-mature paths because I thought only the x would be effected. Logically that would be the case but in practise it is not.

Mark,

The fact that we can have multiple spath..dat files has already be reported recently by opius ( either in this topic or in the "new opcodes"topic in the misson coding forum.
And yes, that is an easy way to get both the subway and the train running,
I've already had train and subway run simultanious here...

I happen to get the path files you posted before you removed them again, and I think the problem you saw is not in the path file. When the train runs allong the track, it is constantly offset to the left.
This leads me to the conclusion, that the path is not offset in any direction, but that the point of the train that follows the path ( origin ?? ) is wrong. I assume that the origin in the train model is currently in the middle between the wheels, and from observation, it seems that it must be under the left wheels for the train to run correctly.

Good news:

I've got the doors working

I found an additional opcode that works on wanderers. It destroys the wanderer, thereby freeing the object to move freely again. What I do now, is when I arrive at a station, I destroy the wanderer, move the doors, re-create the wanderer, and attach the train and the doors again.
This re-attaching caused some major problems at first, but I think I got it working stable and robust now.


Here is a new pre-compiled scm file that has properly operating doors.
To use it, you should have:
• the train-model posted earlier, with proper col-files
• the spath0.dat file below

For the latest version of my scm you also have to define train_dl and train_dr in the generic.ide. I'm not sure what the best values are, so I let mark answer this one. BTW you'll have to add empty col-files for the door models also to the generic.col. I just copied one of the existing empty col-files ( e.g. "line" in lcgeneric.col ) BTW. The train vanishes when it is only a little distance away, while the doors can be seen from a distance. The setting I use in generic.ide are equal for all: 5843, train, train, 1, 240, 128 5844, train_dl, train_dl, 1, 240, 128 5845, train_dr, train_dr, 1, 240, 128

It's great to hear that you've gotten the doors working!

I have two quick questions about testing it out.
1) Do I put spath0.dat into the /data folder, or where?
2) You mention both generic.col, and lcgeneric.col, as well as generic.ide and lcgeneric.ide. Into which one do we copy the three above lines, and into which .col file do we copy the train and create the new objects?
In fact, since these two problems alone may not be the problem, would you please consider writing a brief set of instructions, because the one's included in the readmes are not comprehensible to me.

Well I guess I am a little behind Opius: Good job on noting we could have more spath#.dat files. I did look through the exe too. Here have a

Would you need the spath1.dat file for the subway then?
I want to get back to working on the model now that the path seems to be perfectly ported.
And here is your for the work done thus far.

I've got a copy of your spath1.dat for the subway. I picked it up before you removed it from your message .

here's a for your work on the path-conversion and one for your work on the model sofar.

I'm trying to to get the sub-way running also, and implement switching them both on and off, depending of where the player is at the moment.

I Hope I get it working on sunday, because monday I'll be on a 5 day vacation without web-access. I'll take my laptop though, so I maybe get some work done.
