Hi,

I post this question to the specialists.

If i write a part, and would use sub parts in it, how do you do this?

I wrote (& posted it to lugnet) the 9V straight track (2865.dat) and its
possible that i write some more 9V track parts. The track 'click' mechanism • is
a repeated part in all tracks (points, straight, curved,..) so it could be
usefull to keep this apart from the 'main' file for reuse in other track • parts.

Any idee if its worth to use a sub part?

I'd say that yes, it's worth it to use it as a subpart.

To do this, take the code for the 'click' mechanism, copy it to another
file.  Subpart files are distributed in the parts\s\ directory.  To refer
to these files, you have to include the subdirectory on the reference.  So
if you put the click-mechanism in s\2865s01.dat, you would refer to as:

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\2865s01.dat

in any of the track part-files.

Steve

O.K. Steve,

I'll break it in sub parts for reuse in other track parts as curved track,
points and cross.

When reddy, i'll repost it.

regards and thanks for the answer.

Hi,

I'm trying to re-order my 2865.dat file with subparts, but it's not working.
I'll placed the s\14S01.dat in the main file for test purpose.

i do have following into the main file (Parts directory):

0 9V straight train track
0 Name: 2865.dat

this is a part of one of my 5 subpart files (in the PARTS\S directory)

4 16 0 4 4 0 1 6 -2.30 1 5.54 -1.53 4 3.70

Now, if i start LDAO / select main file / LEdit then i'll see the s\14S01.dat
file on screen,but the others won't apear on screen, only the cursor is
visible, no sub-part;

What i'm i doing wrong????

Thanks for the help

Regards,
Ludo

(...) Hmm. Try viewing your main file in L3Lab -- that will tell you whether or not it can find the subpart files. Steve (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
