Topic: Priority through signals

[Erik]

I can't haste it.

Some parts of the code are really clever but some other parts (sorry, but I have it to say) are just ugly.
Also one half is on English, but the other half is on German. This is very frustrating. Please keep it international and use English.

Ok,that was a little blow out of my frustrations.
Most of it, I can't program it at all.
If I could I had reprogrammed those parts to a more smooth code. I'm just someone who don't like to produce half work.

The German parts of the code can be understood without too much difficulty with the use of an online translator.

Also one half is on English, but the other half is on German. This is very frustrating. Please keep it international and use English.

The point is that it was completely in german and the newer parts were added with english variable names so the option was just keeping it in german or moving it slowly towards english name and that's what they are doing. And as jamespett and other non german developers constantly show it is not that miracle to handle it

I have some fine progress this time.
For the biggest part the signal is working well.

I've only one bug left.
A train reserves many block as it could or till his way point.
But actually it has to reserve just 2 blocks at maximum.

I try to understand how the reservation of the blocks works.
So if someone has some information about it, even a bit.
It would help me a lot.

I'm nearly done with a great thanks to a friend of mine.

The signal is working for the most part.
There is one small bug I'm not able to fix it jet.
But it's also not a really important bug.

Now I'm writing down all the changes and try to make a .patch file.
(Actually two .patch files. One for simutrans engine and one for makeobj)
Jet I don't really know how to make a .patch file.

I lost the source files where I had begun with.
So I've not a good reference point anymore and it's a lot of work to find all the changes back.

This will take a bit more time.

.patch file == diff(erence) file.

Code: [Select]

svn diff > mypatch.diffexecuted in trunk/ will create a patch with all changes between your working copy and your last checked out revision.
If you're not using a command line svn, lookup how to create a diff in your tool's documentation.

[Erik]

I had already figured it out, but thanks.
It is done.
Here on the attachment the .patchfile.
And also the .pak and .dat file's of the signal.

What about add this patch here?

Thanks,

This is an interesting discussion. Thank you, Erik, for working on this patch. As it happens, I am currently in the process of working on some signalling features for Experimental that will, hopefully, produce similar functionality (as well as integrating some more sophisticated functionality relating to braking distances). I should be grateful for feedback on the usefulness of pre-signals in their current form on this thread.
