Distant Signalling Update

2.5.0 releases the changes from the route_prog_rework branch. This brings the following new features:

  • Greatly improved user experience when creating interlocking routes
  • More checking and automatic repair of interlocking setups
  • Distant signalling support
  • New signals: Japanese signals and Munich U-Bahn signals which should replace the old wall signals
  • ATC command G waits for green signal ahead

Please note:

This version introduces changes to the interlocking save data which are not backwards-compatible. You will not be able to directly downgrade to older advtrains versions again.

For your safety, advtrains saves the last version of the interlocking save file before the upgrade for you. If you want to downgrade advtrains after a world has been started with advtrains 2.5, please observe the following steps:

  • Install the older advtrains version
  • Open the world directory
  • Rename the file "advtrains_interlocking.ls" to "advtrains_interlocking.ls.post250" (you can restore it if something goes wrong)
  • Copy "advtrains_interlocking.ls.pre250" to "advtrains_interlocking.ls"
  • Start Luanti and load the world

Also note the following:

The documentation on the advtrains wiki or the manuals is not updated yet. For an introduction, please see the videos at http://advtrains.de/videos/ for now.
