Hi Carlo, tested the new feature in multiplayer with 8 players and perfect, everyone saw the movement and everyone could move the turntable.

Congratulations

Pedro.

Great, thank you for the test!

The feature is now available also in the Unstable release, awaiting the approval of the blueprint.

Thanks for this thread... I was able to get a Scalerail 37m turntable to work.

Does anyone know if the SR_Turntable_Cheyenne.s has animation included already?

If you open the .s file with Shape Viewer, you can see if it's animated or not, if it rotates...you know.

Best regards.

The file isn't able to be opened by SView. Nor can it be uncompressed, which is why I'm asking.

Hello,

Unfortunately, no as it was part of a paid distribution.

Hi Folks,

Won't uncompress - odd - have you tried the TSUTILS command line? That never fails for me.

Regards,
Scott

Fun turn of events.... I had another utility Decompiler created by Marty Griffin that works with binaries, and was finally able to convert the Cheyenne turntable to Unicode...

I forgot I had that until I was digging in my Utilities archive and decided to give it a spin at the wheel.

Turns out the Cheyenne turntable is 37m, and the code for the 37m animation worked perfectly.

I am adding a small feature to the turntable code, that is the ability to handle "partial" turntables, like the one in the attached picture, which can only rotate between 0 and 40 degrees.
Attached Image: PartialTurntable.jpg
In such a case this line
MaxAngle ( 40 )

must be added at the end of the relevant Turntable block in file turntables.dat .
The zero angle must be at the bottom right of the turntable in the picture, so the angle increases clockwise.

The feature will be first added to ORNYMG and then a PR will be generated also for the official OR versions.
Blueprint https://blueprints.l...rtial-turntable .

I'm wondering whether someone else has encontered "partial" turntables.

Hello.

Not in reality, but yes on a model railway track. But it was not so symmetrical, but its pivot point was shifted. Maybe 1/4, 3/4. So he existed in real life.

Sincerely, Laci 1959

Hello Carlo,
First, many Thanks for your work.
You can see one near my homeland. With Google Earth, search "Gensac la Pallue Societé des Vins et Eaux de Vie". Zoom in, you can see it. Use for transfering one empty tankcar in the warehouse with a trackmobile for loading with wine or alcohol (Cognac country).

Thanks, jeanmarc, I've found it, and it would be a nice addition for a OR implementing that real route.
