Hello @Neo , as a true amateur I only want to enyoy the studio. And it does the job for me. Yet I always went to the new professional version when it came out. And so on in the future. Since I have much pleasure in publishing layouts, it is possible we have now to monitor which new features we use from the +package, and the influence on users that do not have the package. Example. If I use the new feature doors open/close affected by the direction of driving. Will my layout still work for a user that has not the +package ? ( and in the same version ) Wich features/bug fixes come with an update and wich only with the +package can be important for us users in the future ? Not at the moment, you are too busy with this beta. But an exact indication what's in the package and what is for the normal update is welcome. Kind regards, Herman

Overview of the new functions (change list) (V8) / Übersicht über die neuen Funktionen und Änderungen It should be nice if we find in this list a sign indicating "package +" . To see the extra's ? Why, it seems I can test a lot of the new features, but not all. Example the rotation of the paint brush is not available. MBS 8.5.2.0 / Auto update to beta is on / English version. Kind regards, Herman

But did your update have the new functions already ? Do I have to click on Buy Now to unlock the functions, even in Beta ? Regards, Herman

Hello @Neo , so please an unlock to test. Kind regards, Herman

Seems not to be enough , read also below. Hello @Neo Do we all need to ask a manual unlock to test in the beta phase ? And it dissapears after official release if we do not buy the +package ? Just asking, kind regards, Herman

Hello @JEF GORIS and other members that maybe are interested. I kept my promise, the paper explaining Lists and Keywords in the event management (EV) is finished. This "To do document and excercises" is for beginners that want to use Keywords. It is not intended for experienced users. Not a manual but a to do paper. Keyword - List part 3B.pdf ( pdf in Dutch/English ) In part B we will handle events triggered by all objects with the same keyword. We use the teleport to a virtual depot to explain this. There is also a part to combine the keyword with a "variable extended". This is a little more advanced. The solutions of the excercises are found here : Keyword B excercises.mbp Regards, Herman

Hello @JEF GORIS , hello other members that are interested. This "To do document and excercises" is for total beginners that want to use Keywords. However you should have some experience with the graphical event management. (EV) Keyword - List part 2A.pdf ( pdf in Dutch / English ). In part A ( here ) we will handle "For objects referencing a Keyword" , this remind us of the excercises with lists. But this pdf. handles the less interesting part of Keywords. In the second part ( will follow soon) we handle events that are triggered by all objects with the same keyword. You find the solutions of the excercises here. But please try to make them yourself. Keyword A exercises.mbp Succes, and kind regards, Herman

Hello @Phrontistes , I certainly do not , yes Lua is a bit special, but that's it, no more or less ( for me ). Kind regards, Herman

Hello, for me, that's the case. But for now I use an object variable for it in the graphical EV when I need a local variable. But of course I can use a local Lua variable. In the beginning of my experience with the studio I did more in Lua that I understood first. Because some people want to stay with the graphical EV and even hate Lua, I changed the most to the graphical EV. And we can do very much with the graphical EV. I think I could use a kind of local variable too in the graphical EV. Kind regards, Herman

Hello @tim-fischertechnik , I looked further because I really do like your tutorial, and the code. The yellow contact "GK Bahnsteig 1" does the job : opening/closing the doors and a new depart. And the steam train goes trough. When the "L1 - DB 212" comes a second time to the station, the same problem with the doors. Open, but stay open. ( "Halt" ) is lit. Kind regards, Herman

Hello @tim-fischertechnik . Remark. I only looked at your layout for a short time. After download the "L1 - DB 212" opens his doors. And they stay open even if you wait. They will stay open because there is no deferred instruction waiting at that time. I did'nt do anything yet. When we press the "Durchfahrtschalter Asig P2" it goes to green "Durchfarht" as is planned. The signal goes to "1-Hp2 langsamfahrt" , ok. But the train drives on with open doors. Regards, Herman

Hello, @220hotwheels , it is difficult for us to see what the problem is now, we lack extra info. Did you use the event trace F12 to locate the error. Best regards, Herman

Hello @220hotwheels ,sorry I did not know that. Click on the picture of the mbp in the forum, and en let it go to your download map ( in windows ). When you have it there. Start V8 , go to online catalog. You can open it in your V8. You do have V8 ? Kind regards, Herman

Hello @220hotwheels , I made this one. To set a switch.mbp I tried to keep it very basic. But of course, sorry with variables and triggers. See if you can use it, or not. Only to help. Kind regards, Herman Addendum/ Feel free to ask questions about this, if you want.

Ok @Phrontistes , yes I know ok, I wanted to say go explicitly for variables. I should advice @220hotwheels to use variables. They are not so difficult to use. But of course it's his choice. Regards, Herman

Hello Pete. . Yes the "Empty" vehicle is the problem. If you do not use the vehicle itself but a trigger ( vehicle) , there is always for the EV a correct vehicle there on the track contact. If not it would not be triggered. Then use a variable in the vehicle , if that variable exist, look in the variable which train it is. Does this help, or do I have to make/give an little .mbp to demonstrate ? Maybe @Goetz has a little example in his sleeve ? Kind regards, Herman

Hello, do you have the same version V8 as the module you want ? Hallo, haben Sie die gleiche Version V8 wie das Modul, das Sie wünschen? Regards, Herman

Hallo Mitglieder, in diesem Layout findet ihr jetzt auch Kommentare auf Deutsch, dank Henry. Veröffentlicht mit der gleichen ID. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Herman CDD311DD-1283-426C-B6A2-F0D21AC14C1A ( from V7 on )

Hello @JEF GORIS. Hello members that should follow this. This "To Do document and excercises" above is for total beginners that want to use Lists. Here the excercices; I reworked them a little to be in accordance with the solutions. ( pdf in Dutch / English ) Excercices List.pdf Here the solutions for those exercises. But try to make them also yourself. List excercises.mbp Kind regards to all, Herman

Hello @JEF GORIS , as long as you ask specific questions like this one, I will always try to help. ( and that's my only intend, I'll be happy if you are succesfull ) But in my paper I want to force you to make the exercices, the only way to get further. ( I know not a real manual, but a to do booklet ). For other members : the question was why does the lights do not go out ( see first picture ) You need to use the correct animation in stead of "All animations". (picture 1) You cannot choose the correct animation for "Object Iteration". (picture 1) So start first with a single object that has the correct animation. And there you can just choose the correct animation. (picture 2) Then change it to iteration. (picture 3) Try it please. Kind regards, Herman *** Addendum , also your green taste's list is empty. Copy it from the blue one, or use a module variable list for both.

Hello @JEF GORIS , after the click on the envelop. Go to your inbox to read my message. You can there respond in the same manner as here. ( But we cannot attach anything there), so only text. I will read your letter and respond soon. Kind regards, Herman

Hello @JEF GORIS . When I made a paper to help you with the container crane, also some comments were given in Personal Message (P.M) to you. But even after a time you did not read it, and so they were removed by me. Sorry to say, do you have trouble to find where to read this message ? When a new personal message arrives there is a notification. Just click the envelop. Only to help. Please understand that I used this to give you a personal message in Dutch, so I did not have to disturb other members with that specific answer for you. Kind regards, Herman

Hello @Henry. Thank you for that remark. Waw Henry, great job, very nice, I just looked at it. As a Belgian ( Flemish side ) my language is Dutch and I can read a bit of German as a related language. But not to speak or write German. I had not the courage of a translate with an internet translator. So thanks again. Kind regards, Herman @Henry , am I allowed to take your German text and put it in my layout and republish it ? I will mention of course it's your translation.

Hello @JEF GORIS , please, when you have some time read also the PM I send you. Groetjes Herman

Hello @JEF GORIS , with what you learned about lists. You should understand this mini example. Especially to look at a specific animation. Barriers.mbp Is it ? Groetjes, Herman
