Mod Releases • Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.8.0]

I made a quick UI mockup to describe this idea, although without long descriptions

Thanks, I see now. I'm giving the docs more thought.

What is causing this? Sometimes, when the train stops at the platform (stoprail) and wagon is stopped (the doors are opening to board in this case) the engine will do this ghostly backing or running off without the waiting wagon and then snap back to where it really belongs to continue on as normal. I'm wondering if it might be related to the little bump and resettle movement it does when it stops... or... if there's a mismatch because these are smaller than many common wagons or... what? What is it?

This bug is very old (I think it traces to the very beginning). I have never investigated since it didn’t bother me so much, but it is one of two causes:

1. when the wagon stops, its acceleration is not set to 0 until next time the 2-second force update timer elapses (bug in advtrains wagons.lua)
2. the code sets the acceleration to 0 correctly, but a bug in the Luanti engine causes it to not take effect.
