Does anyone have a video or a tutorial on how to add a train system to a new map being made. I have the tracks laid out, but dont know how to add the train.
Bruce Jensen (dakotatech) 17.02.2019 17:21
I have the same issue. I also have tracks laid out and even created a spline, and then I imported the US map TrainSystem.i3d . I can't recall everything I did biut I did have the USmap train high above my terrain following the USmap spline. I 'assume' one needs to have script callback and the correct xml files {edited xml?} in the modmap folder...any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Take the default maps (mapDE|mapUS/trainSystem) as template.
You may export your map's train spline as separate "trainSystem.i3d" to be inserted later via 'defaultItem'.
In the associated "trainSystem.xml" you define <train> components and <railroadCrossings>
Bruce Jensen (dakotatech) 19.02.2019 02:43
Bilbo, thanks for your response. I poured through the mapDE/mapUS/mapSA/trainSystems; exported the trainSysten.i3d (defined to my track with spline and placed crossings, then deleted it from my map.i3d) to my maps/placeables file; copied, added, and edited the TrainPlaceable entry to the defaultItems.xml; zipped it up and tested in game....here are my logs applicable train entries, and trafficSystem.xml....(do I need a .lua and which one? I know nothing about scripting) thanks again.

How about your entry in "defaultItems.xml"?
It should look like
<item mapBoundId="trainSystem" className="TrainPlaceable" filename="$moddir${myMapName}/{filePath}/trainSystem.xml" position="0 0 0" rotation="0 0 0" />
-- or you use (may require game v1.3)
<item mapBoundId="trainSystem" className="TrainPlaceable" filename="$mapdir$/{filePath}/trainSystem.xml" position="0 0 0" rotation="0 0 0" />
Bruce Jensen (dakotatech) 19.02.2019 20:48
Bilbo, yes I'm running v1.3.0.0 so I used the later <item />. But I'm still getting error:

2019-02-19 13:21 Error: Running LUA method 'update'.
2019-02-19 13:21 dataS/scripts/vehicles/specializations/Locomotive.lua(404) : attempt to index field 'trainSystem' (a nil value)

I imported the train vehicles into the map.i3d but did not align the locomotive04 (US map) to the S point of the spline...The y rot is aligned to the spline direction. I then copied the xyz pos of each vehicle to put in the defaultVehicles.xml. I then deleted the train vehicles from the map.i3d.

{defaultVehicle entry. copied from Ravenport with my coordinates}{the other vehicles are similar and attached to each other}

<boughtConfiguration name="motor" id="1"/>
<boughtConfiguration name="wheel" id="1"/>

</vehicle>

I' missing something and still wonder if I need a lua somewhere. Thanks again
Bilbo Beutlin (BBeutlin) 19.02.2019 22:05
You can only insert the complete train - not single vehicles.
The <train> you must define in the "trainSystem.xml".

What you have copied is an entry from your savegame's "vehicle.xml" - that won't work at all.
Bruce Jensen (dakotatech) 20.02.2019 03:55
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! That was what I was missing, or, what I did wrong!
Peter Cooper (coops) 26.03.2019 01:05
Hi to all
is anybody able to tell me about railroadCaller I have all trains Line01 and Line02 up and running But when i import railway crossings eg line01
I loose that particular train the error in my log is Error: Failed to find child 3 from node trainSystem01, only 3 childs given
I have edited trainSystem XML with railway crossing 1 to 7 the number of crossing on that line I have searched the internet for a week and no luck
Any help would be gratefully accepted THANKS

Bruce Jensen (dakotatech) 26.03.2019 15:16
Peter, I believe you need to import your trainSystems.i3d into your map, copy a crossing and place it where you want it, export your trainSystems back to your file (replace: yes) and then remove same from your map. Hope this helps.
Paul Sid (gizman) 20.05.2019 11:38
i have no luck at all adding train to new map i dont understand nothing
Onkel Yogi (onkelyogi) 21.07.2019 07:36
anybody got an idea how to define the railroadCallers section inside the trainsystem.xml ?
