he new ORTSLabel ( ) has been really useful for brake controllers. Could it be extended to display information for other controls such as throttles or combined controllers?
Something like this:
Throttle ( 0 1.0 1 0
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0.00 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("OFF"))
Notch ( 0.25 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("SHUNT") )
Notch ( 0.50 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("SERIES"))
Notch ( 0.75 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("PARALLEL"))
Notch ( 1.00 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("WEAK FIELD")) ) )
or
EngineControllers (
Throttle ( 0 1 0.1 0
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("0"))
Notch ( 0.10 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("1"))
Notch ( 0.40 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("2"))
Notch ( 0.70 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("3"))
Notch ( 1.00 0 Dummy ORTSLabel ("4")) ) )
Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.01 0.26
NumNotches ( 5
Notch( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart ORTSLabel ("0"))
Notch( 0.26 0 TrainBrakesControllerEPApplyStart ORTSLabel ("1"))
Notch( 0.55 0 TrainBrakesControllerEPApplyStart ORTSLabel ("2"))
Notch( 0.90 0 TrainBrakesControllerEPApplyStart ORTSLabel ("3"))
Notch( 1.0 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart ORTSLabel ("EMERGENCY")) ) )
Combined_Control( 0 1 0.5 0.5 throttle train )

Hello.
Why not? AFAIK, any control allows labels, doesn't it?
I was tempted to use it, but one thing, confusing me - is language of labels.
So, I didn't define anything yet.

OFor the guy who originally made th e.eng file ne way to deal with languages is to use include files, something like this:
EngineControllers (
Throttle ( 0 1 0.1 0
NumNotches ( 5 )
Include (ThrottleNotchesFrench.inc)
)
and wherever he put ThrottleNotchesFrench.inc he could also put ThrottleNotchesEnglish.inc, ThrottleNotchesFGerman.inc, etc.
Then instruct the end user to edit the .eng file to point to his native language.inc file (or to make one) and to send a copy back to the original guy to add to his distribution file.

Nice idea.
My dilemma was: original names are cool, but would offend foreign users/English variants would look "democratic", but non-prototypic.
All, but one should be commented-out, then, only the needed one - un-commented for activation?
