The SimSig wtt file is basically a zip file containing two XML files, SavedTimetable.xml and TimetableHeader.xml. The SavedTimetable file contains all of the data used in the timetable in XML format. Each train timetable is held as a block of data within the XML file. Included in this block are any actions like divides or joins. These show in the XML as <Activity>n</Activity> where n is a code number to identify which action is to take place. Does anyone have a cross-reference of the code numbers and activities to save me some hard labour in working out which code refers to which action. I am asking because I want to search for specific actions within the XML file? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 21/01/2020 at 18:03 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

TTimetableActivityKind = (takNext, takDividesRear, takDividesFront, takJoins, takDetachesRear, takDetachesFront, takDropsRear, takDropsFront, takJoins2, takPlatformShare, takCrewChange); takNext is zero, takDividesRear is 1, etc up to 10 for crew change, if I've counted correctly.

Divide: both halfs are trains with traction. Drops: the new train is unpowered ("drops coaches/wagons") Detaches: this train becomes unpowered ("loco detaches") From memory, takJoins2 was an idea that didn't work. Log in to reply |

Example being that a train pulls into a platform with mail coaches at the back. Detach rear allows those coaches to be detached whilst the main train remains powered and proceeds on it's merry way. A station pilot then gets attached to the remainder and moves them wherever they are scheduled.It means detach whatever train is described in the timetable.

I'm not a timetable writer but you appear to have failed to notice the subtle difference between 'detach' and 'drop'.
