Train Stop Circuit Network Issues

[utoxin]

Two things about train stops and circuit networks. The first one could be a bug, although I can see arguments for it being intended, and the second one is definitely a feature request.

1. When the stop is set to read train contents, the items in the fuel slots are not included in the output signal. I was trying to use this to detect the presence of a train at a stop, because of the missing feature in point 2.
2. It would be REALLY nice if you could set the stop to output a signal when a train is present.

For 1: I think this is intedend. Fuel dosn't count as inventory, because if it whould, a Trainstop with the condition "Empty cargo inventory" whould also mean no fuel.
For 2: You can hook up the entrance signal to the stop to the circuit network and read its state. If the signal shows red = train is present.

1. It's not a bug. It's there for convenience since adding the fuel adds all kinds of problems to most useful setups.
2. I will probably add a way to detect if the train is there as a separate option in the station. Mainly because of setups and problems like this viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45725

Ahh! I hadn't considered reading the entry signal. (I'm still quite new to circuit networks). Thanks for the tip, and I can understand the point on #1. That's why I was suspecting it might not be a bug after all. It would still be nice to get a signal about a train being in-station from the stop itself.

That's strange - the correct link appears in the text when you quote it, but it doesn't display correctly.

Edit: it does go to the correct page. It is the link's fault.

I know - that's what I get too. Initially I thought that the problem was that it was linking you to "viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45725" and not "
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45725", but apparently the link does work, it just isn't valid.

so you wanna fix it?
