[Plugin] Eneroth Railroad System (v 0.1.21)
-
I'm having the same problem. I use SU 2013 and 2014 and in neither of them can I place track in a new drawing. When I open your example drawing however I am able to place track - it is as if a library was not loading but perhaps is already loaded in the example drawing.
Also in SU 2013 I get a script error - see attached photo. I'm using your latest version 1.13 I think dated the 9th of this month.
thanks though for this awesome plugin! I am really impressed and can't wait to place a train track throughout some new building model I want to show off to a customer!

Hi Jon
This sounds very similar to an error on Mac that's one user has reported but that didn't occur for others. Can you add this code "puts js" to line 376 in track_insert_tool.rb and post the text printed in the console?

Here an intresting links:

Julia,
see attached screenshots.
In the ruby console what you see is left from me running some other plugin - so you can see the console is working. Actually, none of your tools writes anything to the console. You can see I've started the track tool here and nothing shows - except the script error dialog.
The other screenshot is showing where I put the "puts.js"
Another strange thing - while I was looking for track_insert_tool.rb I noticed there was only an instance of this file in the Program files etc SU 2013 Plugins folder, not in the SU 2014 folder. Is the plugin not compatible with 2014 or am I looking in the wrong place? I looked under ProgramData as well and searched c:\
Maybe the install process did not work properly?
thanks
Jon

Jon,
Sorry, I gave you the wrong line number because I've added more code above it in my local copy. The code needs to be on line 393 and without quotes:
puts jsI've never installed a plugin from the Pluginstore so I don't know if it puts the files in the wrong location, however if it does the plugin shouldn't open at all.
It seems like something goes wrong when creating the javascript that is later executed in the web dialog so I'd like to know what code is executed (the variable named js). I really have no idea how this can work in my example model but not in new models. That is really odd.
Thanks

Dean,
These links are quite inspiring. I've actually drawn 2 structural gauges (European ones) as rolling stocks included in the plugin that can be used to test tracks.

Yes i know, however your audience / targed group is bigger.
i think you will that all continents of the world know your plugin.Trainz is an australian game with routs in AUS,USA,GBR,SWE,GER,FRA,RUS etc.
the Game TS 2014 (2015) have routs in USA GBR,;FRA,CHN and in the next version YPN,too.yes i know some. however only open blueprints.
you must know that blueprints of the GERMAN ICE is not opensource and normally you must pay a license when you show the ICE in your plugin.
i think the best way is to contact DB Deutsche Bahn and ask.
you must tell, that your project isn´t commercial and you will show kids how i build my railroad in 3d.
AND you and the kids love the ICE.
the same you must write to the british railway etc. this sound in the ears better when you doining somethings with passion and love.
you must know that i was loco driver student and this was very difficult to become any pages in pdf etc.
i would would therefore recommend that you contact any users in the rail-sim.de forum or in the main auran forum.
you can find there a woman ( Sandra-Marion/rail-sim.de). when you need support for a german translation for letters and contact i could help you...however you must do it by your self.
i dont know what you need.normally the first address for me is the 3d warehouse than safe all side views with measures as pictures and build your loco,airplain,ship or what ever.
some designer for games that give away freeware parts you could contact,too.
here i could help in german language,too.
however some designers could tell you, freeware is not free..you can this use for free in the game, its strictly forbidden to recompile etc.
you must know, that i have 2-3 years to investigate,research for the BerlinWallProject.
i have contacted Soldiers of the EAST GERMAN BORDER PATROLS to become any background knowhow about this.
ok this is and was a very sad political theme/topic.normally, a Berlin People don´t search contact to the soldiers of the(Grenztruppen ( East German Border Patrol).
my target was, all kids must see and know what is it the Wall, what feeling before and behind the wall etc.ok i could visuallize a LIMES, however i cant ask a roman soldier about this
i have contacted the producer of the movie Walled-in (Art-Com)
every time when i see this movie, it´s like the same under a very cold water shower or rolling icecubes over my back.
and this turn me angry and sad. ooops sorry.@eneroth3 said:

blueprints for buildings you must visit libraries or museums about architecture.

ok when you have more questions you could ask.
do you know the innotrans in Berlin?

in september 23-26 you can see the newest locos
i will pay a ticket in the next month.
when you will come to berlin with your boyfriend or girlfriend etc. i could ask the owner off my appartment. he have appartmats for visitors, not so expansive like a hotel, i hope. otherwise we have many hotels/hostels and motels.ok cu

Christina don´t be shy and ask the big T´s and F´s (TIG/Thomas/Fredo etc.)
if you stay in the rain i would say, all will have a umbrella for you. i mean, nobody would tell you, "that your plugin...help your self"
the first step you must doing your self, politly request help is a good idea. what i say/tell you..this you know by your self.regards dean
p.s. i´ll hope this will not sound like teacher or a a talk between father and daughter

Julia,
I am trying this on my mac laptop now (the last two emails were re my win7 desktop). I am having the same problem and am a little puzzled that no-one else is? I am using SU 2014 and the tool works like a dream when using in your example file - see attached screenshot, ruby coming out ok - but in a new document no activity at all just like in my Win 7 version.
Note I did not attach a screenshot of it not working. You can imagine - nothing whatsoever on the ruby console, the track tool opens the "add track" dialog but both "from scratch" and "from selection" are blank, just like the screenshots I sent before.
I went ahead and added "puts js" correctly (
you can tell I am no programmer!) into line 393 (which is blank, is that right?):js << "form.onkeyup = push_changes;"puts js
#Show dialogYou can see it here between the lines above/below.
But it didn't help - didn't produce any better / more results.
I've never had an issue with plugin install before. I went preferences > install plugin >chose the .rbz file, said yes I did trust it etc etc.
And of course it works A+ with the example file.
Have you tried a new file from scratch?

Dean: Unless this specific bug occurs to any of those developers I don't know what they can do about it. I's probably something that is fixed really easily once it's found but it can only be found on a computer it occurs on.
Jon: That's the right place
. Did you activate the add track tool after adding this code? -
Dean: My names are both Julia and Christina but most people say Christina. And I don't understand what that image has to do with anything.

. Did you activate the add track tool after adding this code?On my macbook last night adding the "puts js" did absolutely nothing, as I mentioned in my last post.
The plugin did work on my macbook when I used it with your example file, so it seems to be acting in the same way as the Window version.
Now today I just tried adding the "puts js" on line 393 on my Win 7 computer and did get something to show on the console, see attached image.

do you use the same sketchup version and the same plugin version WIN/MAC?
the most developer use notepad++ for pc.
you can activate the compare plugin and compare the window and the mac version.

im not sure could be that the mac version need some lines different code, to solve the problem.
if Christina send you a small bugfix for your mac, this will not mean, that you bugfix the pc version.
i recommend that you deinstall the pc version and install the newest again.
if this doesn´t solve your problem, deactivate all plugins and let activated the railroad plugin. look what happend.
when you have no errors, switch on the plugins step by step (dont forget to restart sketchup.
here i have no problems with dialogue-windows.

This is exactly what I need
. Something in the javascript code in the console goes wrong at character 597 and it depends on the model file being open. I'll look in to it right away.Thanks!!

I think I've found it. When the plugin tries to write the currently used parallel distance (4,5 m written in whatever unit Sketchup is set to) to the input field. The code cannot be executed if it contains a ' sign since that's also used as quotes to define where the string starts and ends.
To the computer it becomes "this " is a quote" and it doesn't know how to read it. This also explains why my file works since it uses metric units that doesn't have the ' sign in them.
-
Found a fix!
If you replace
js << "document.getElementById('center_distance').value='#{@@center_distance.to_s}';"with
js << "document.getElementById('center_distance').value=#{@@center_distance.to_s.inspect};"it should work. Also you don't need to do any of the things Dean said.
Thanks for the help finding this

!cool,
what i have written is for me the last option. temporair backup is sometimes helpful for me.
Thematic balise and animated components (in your plugin).
you have written in the Manual that i can insert code. can do this only a programer and what can the balise really.
ok on your tabletop (your own homepage)a train can change color, speed etc.
can a balise conected to a signal and a magnet? if i look at your tabletop i cant find the balise.
balise will be visible.
look here
dont read that all look at the pictures
in the german version of Indusi you can find some pictures more.
( Fahrzeugausrüstung ) and ( Streckenausrüstung )
actually i have not blueprints about balises to build this exactly in sketchup.
i can only use photos and a measure to find out how big is the object circa.
ok i dont want simulate a 100% railway situation however in renderings and movies this looks better if i see that the signal switch back to RED/YELLOW/GREEN/WHITE/BLUE etc.
a balise can change the color of the loco, or the headlight can switch to backlight etc, this could be possible for signals, too.
here a singnal book for the SJ (swensk)and here
and
a signal book for DB (tysk)in germany we have 3 different signalsystems
HP HL KS
HP origin western germany DB (Deutsche Bundesbahn old)
HL eastern germany Deutsche Reichsbahn (DDR-GDR)
KS is the newest system for DB Deutsche Bahn AG
Semaphores will be possible in East and West.
A german Locodriver must know all signals in this signal book.
and a loco driver student must know the text,the names of the signals and the meaning like an actors the script for the movie.
this is a hard work for the old man like me.regards dean
