activity full guide plz

[tankict]

i want make custom activity, but i need know all thing, like yard, constist start... In general - full advanced tutorial or instruction, maybe i want too much, but it will be easier for me to understand all this if you explain what and how.

another question, where i can find XML-files of consist and trains? Or all this located in files like "Moscow.000"?

Anyone can create new activities, you do not need a developer for that. You just need to learn the XML coding the simulator uses for this.
Read this (in Dutch, you might need Google Translate): viewtopic.php?t=1137

And the XML's for trains are included inside the 000-database files. Their names (for use in activities) are listed on the trains wiki-page and/or in the textfile included in the download.

 <controldata system="0" pack="Simvliet1982" file="Routes.ctd">
   <train code="101">

    <cab id="1" scrollsign2="99"/>
   </train>
   <train pack="Moscow" file="81-714.xml"/>

A simple XML error is all, make sure to send code through an XML validator as code will not work with formatting errors

Code: Select all

<cab id="0" scrollsign2="99"

This bit of code on the bottom carriage/unit doesn't end with a "/>" on the code you provided.
Additionally, you spelt consists wrong at the start of the consists section, spelling it as "constists"

A corrected version can be found below:
