“Tickets are not set up on this server”
The ticket item is missing from the inventory, and the player got his money back. Addrco_train_ticket as in Installation and restart the server: on RSG, rsg-inventory only learns an item when it starts; on VORP, the inventory reads its items when it starts.
”Open a company at the railroad office first”
Trains belong to companies. The player opens one, or is hired into one, at a railroad office (G at its counter).The yard screen says “No locomotive”
The company has not bought its engine yet: the office’s Catalogue, by the owner or a manager.”Too many trains on the line right now”
The server already hasConfig.MaxTrains player trains in the world (the server’s own trains never count: they leave to make room). Wait for one to park, or raise the number.
”Your company already has all its trains on the line”
The company hasConfig.Company.MaxTrainsOut trains in the world. Park one first.
”The yard track is taken by another train”
Another train is within the yard’sradius. Wait for it to leave, or call the train at another station.
”The train could not be placed on the track”
The yard’scoords in Config.Yards must be a point on the station’s own track. Put them back to the ones that came with the resource, or stand on the track and copy the point again.
”This train is wrecked”
Its boiler exploded (Config.Boiler.DryBoiler = 'explode'). Call it at the yard of a workshop and repair its boiler there.
The train won’t move
- The reverser must be forward (D) or back (A), set with the train stopped, and the brake released.
- Look at the pressure: with no coal in the firebox or no water in the boiler there is no steam. Shovel (B) and open the injector (R).
- A red signal holds the train: another train in the block ahead, or a broken rail (see Maintenance).
- Out of coal, water or steam it only crawls, at about 3 mph, to the next water tower.
”Only this train’s company can drive it”
Others can ride along and work the fire (J by the engine), but only the company’s members take the controls.The ticket counter sells nothing to a station
A company sells tickets only to the stations its train goes to next, while that train stands at this station or is coming to it (“No train of this company is coming here now”). The server’s trains sell only the stops of their routes.No freight contracts at a booth
Only the stations whose railroad office has acargoPoint have freight. At the booth, the contracts open with G (“Freight contracts”).
”Your train has no free car for one more contract”
A flatcar carries 2 contracts and a boxcar 1, and logs only go on flatcars. Add the car you need to the train at the yard screen.Players don’t see the broken rails
The breaks show on the map only to members of a company that has a train on the line, and to the crew in a cab.The server trains don’t show up
Config.NpcTrain.enabledmust betrue.- A server train is in the world only within
SpawnRadiusof a player, and stays out a while after giving the line to a player train. - A route whose stops the track does not join is left out: the server console names it when the resource starts.
The game’s own trains run into ours
