Hello,
Here is example of the two of the 9 TT's I installed on PRR-East v2 route.
All 9 TT's in the route operate normally. Look for subtle differences between your and these examples.
I just copied this from the turntables.dat file in the route.

I note there is a BLANK line at the top of the file.
I can't tell if this could be a problem described in your post.

|========top of turntablest.dat file=======================|
<<================FIRST LINE BLANK ===============>>
9
Turntable(WFile ( "w-011150+014348.w" )
UiD ( 62939 )
XOffset ( 0.0 )
YOffset ( 0.3 )
ZOffset ( 21 )
TrackShapeIndex ( 24864 )
Animation ( "TRACKPIECE" )
Diameter ( 42 )
)

Thanks Vince for the reply.

But throughout the thread of turntables there was always talk of leaving that line blank.

On the Sicilia route I have that file also with a blank line, and on the Valladolid-Ariza-Soria route v 4 I have 39 turntables that rotate.

However I will try to remove the line.

Thanks

Hi alifatico,
your case is very particular, and I have to explain how the program logic works. OR appoints one turntable at a time as "active turntable", and it is the turntable which is nearest to the camera and which is not too far from the camera (so there could be no active turntable). In this simple way the player does not have to select the active turntable; it is OR which does the selection.
If you have two turntables on sight, as I understand it is in your case, OR will select the one out of two which is nearer to the camera as the active one. If you want to select the other one, you have to move the camera to a point where such other turntable is nearer to the camera. This is the way to select the active camera.

Sorry I think maybe I was not clear!
The BLANK line must be there. I could not tell from your post if you (correctly) had the blank line there. Sorry for the confusion I caused you.

vince

Hi Carlo

Thank you very much for the reply and clarified issue.

Indeed, when changing the view of the camera it is the other Turntable that rotates.

Problem solved.

Thank you very much again.

Peter

Hello Chantucci

Thanks for the idea too. I wanted to open heating house doors like this, but it never worked properly. I'll try again, with the animated doors.
If I’m close to a turntable, it’s active, if it’s for one of the doors, it will be active if I understand correctly.

Regards Laci 1959

Hi Laci,
I'm sorry but I didn't understand what you would like to do. And what is a "heating house"?

Release 1.3.1.4328 is outdated. You should run the actual official testing release or the OR NewYear MG one. You should attach the whole OpenRailsLog.txt file, as well as the .s file of the turntable.

I have updated to the lastest testing release, installed the turntable complement as the author described it and the game doesn't crash at the turntable area anymore, but the turntable itself doesn't appear.

This is my OpenRailsLog.txt file right now:

The building where the steam locomotives used to be stored or prepared for the next trip. He set fire to the preheater working in the heating house and and heated it to a state ready to go. The crew took over the heated locomotive.
I also wanted to put a picture, but that doesn’t work for me yet.

To n.chiri:
The logfile says that OR is not able to load the turntable.
I tried to lay it in one of my test routes, and it loads correctly and also turns.
So I have these questions:
1) Where did you put the .s file? It should reside in Global\Shapes and not in your route's Shapes folder
2) Is n1t16mturntable.s present in your Tsection.dat?

This is the tentative block I inserted in my turntables.dat (WFile and UiD of course depend from the route)
Turntable(
WFile ( "w-005578+014976.w" )
UiD ( 76 )
XOffset ( 0 )
ZOffset ( 8 )
TrackShapeIndex ( 39941 )
Animation ( "TRACKPIECE" )
Length ( 16 )
)
