All, I have started work on getting a Interface Connection map working for this sim, think it would be good to have it active when we are running hosted sims! I know I will find it useful as when playing the sim on the laptop I have a blown-up overview on my TV with my appropriate Signalling Diagrams tacked up on the wall above it. If anyone else would be interested let me know, maybe we could have a section on the website for a facility to host these maps with the connections? And if you are hosting you get the permissions to set it up (Which are surrendered after the session?). Just an idea, I will find it useful that's for sure, will be good for others to see what is going on aswell! Joshua "There's a right way, a wrong way and the 'railway'" Log in to reply |

Headshot119 and pedroathome have had some success with this in the past on some sims.

I have done a little bit of work on this in the past getting maps to work with SimSig. While I don't have my "working" code to hand, you're more than welcome to have a look at what I have done. https://github.com/James-Pedrick/SimSig-Gateway Please note that this can give an outline to what's been done, but it is not compilable code. As for making a large scale map, yes it could be done, but if you're thinking of doing down the same route as I did to begin with, which was just a saved image of a simulation with a text based overlay, then things can get rather messy rather quickly. Within the manual there is some information on the data which comes from the gateway, https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:interface_gateway A search online will bring up some sample code to get started in many different languages James Last edited: 16/04/2017 at 01:16 by pedroathome Reason: Forget to finish post Log in to reply |

Thanks for the response! I do already have code that connects to the Network Rail Open Data feeds which I am using for a different project so got an insight into the STOMP Json area of coding! Thanks for the pointers I will have a look and see what can be done! I didn't think about going down the route of saving the sim map but I will avoid that! Thanks!
