Metro simulator forums

When I try to change my trains codes and set up the the DRIMs it wont work, I am trying it on all maps and still wont work. I am entering the correct things which are: f10002 (my trains original code) 5879BV (what I want it to be) MPB (for molenwijk - noorderpoort - panbos) on the M1. If I am doing anything wrong can someone please tell me as I am starting to get annoyed with it.

If you're in explore mode, the DRIMs won't show a schedule. They work properly only in an activity.

"MPB" is not a valid code for the simulator. It does not recognise that, so it won't do anything with it. The code to change a train number is "TWZ".
So, you should type this in order to change the train number from F10002 to 5879BV:

F10002 5879BV TWZ

The DRIMs will show your destination based on the last letter of the train number, IF a CTD file is loaded into the CVL (manually in explore mode, or in activities).

The main CVL-codes you need to know are TWZ (for changing a train number, as explaned above) and RWI (for setting a path).

Ah right, thanks guys, didnt realise that

Sjoerd, can you make it in the next update that the DRIMs work on explore mode please?

That's not possible. It requires scripting via activities. Also, Sjoerd isn't the main developer, so it's not really under his authorization to do such a task. So if you want the DRIMs to show a schedule, create your own activity.
Your tutorial here: http://sim.bemined.nl/wiki/Basic_Activity_Guide

true, will probably start making my own activities then

Just load a CTD file in explore mode. The DRIMs won't show departuretimes as you are not running with a timetable, but they will show your destination based on the train number.
Go to the top of the screen -> Control -> Load data -> select the CTD file belonging to the map you are on.

OH, THAT IS A GREAT THING
