U turns are not included in the test, but you can test them if you switch to manual and run set 4

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
v6. Major change. New GUI to control the bench. New mod
The reset button deletes trains and during testing the bench deletes trains between sets making the testbench much quicker.
Sliders to adjust settings.
A new feature to automatically run multiple tests and results are displayed in the console.
Mod is WIP

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
Ideally, now this is the last savefile on this forum. I might update it with the latest version of the mod, but no major changes are coming to the savefiles. There is a scenario in the mod, but atm it's not working quite correctly. You have to use the command /editor to get editor mode.

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
Completed the new testbench.
Now it can do 3 ways and its all in a scenario. No need to download save files anymore. Also it can't interfere with other mods as everything is inside the scenario. You don't need to use any other mods, but if you want you can.

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
How do you deal with intersections that have different spacings between the rails? When I use the Testbench I add curved sections of rails as necessary, with signals placed so that each colored block can fit two full wagon lengths, but think this might influence the measurements.

If it's far enough behind it doesn't influence it. On high throughput intersections, I have to be more precise.Yodo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 6:32 pmHow do you deal with intersections that have different spacings between the rails?

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
i have an issue. i save and exited while the tester was still running, now the save errors on load (or a fraction of a second after it at least)
is there anything i can do? some recent designs are on that save and not backed up as bp strings
EDIT: managed to fix it with a "pause multiplayer if less than x players" mod (set to 2 players then just solo game), but it would probably be good to have the game not softlock if saved while a test is running

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
Yeah, when you load up a save it resets some values which probably caused it. I can change that:)
Also if you manage to hit the stop button as soon as it loads that should fix it.

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections
Fixed it, but it only works for new scenarios. So, if you work in a savefile you wont get the updates directly into your scenario. Then you probably have to replace the control.lua in the savefileTBTerra2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 8:07 pmi have an issue. i save and exited while the tester was still running, now the save errors on load (or a fraction of a second after it at least)
