Note: the web client does support each block using different colors; you may be able to use that to further distinguish your tracks.

It’s on my to-do list… but pretty far down… :(
The panel.js file need some major refactoring… but without any way to write test cases it’s very fragile… at the very least I’d like to see it use TypeScript over JavaScript… but that’s going to require someone with build mojo (not me).
On the plus side I did add decorations support! The web client now supports arrows, bridges, end bumpers and tunnels! ;-)

The Signal Mast Repeaters section in the documentation has a typo on line 2 that says, " ..., and van be set as Slave, ...", instead of, "..., and can be set as Slave,...). The bold face added by me to identify needed change. ?The documentation could use ?the addition of a statement that indicates that the Signal Masts must be Stored prior to attempting use of the Repeaters tool.

Hi Dave, Looks useful, thanks for the help. However I am not familiar with Java and cannot find the Jython folder on my Mac, do I need to run another programme to set it up? When I follow your instructions and "Run Script" the Jython folder comes up with a list of scripts. I obviously have to get your script in that folder but cannot find it!

Hey everyone?

Hi, i am looking for a way to tell when a train has actually stopped through issuing throttle.setSpeedSetting(0) or has reached the actual setting issued through issuing the command?throttle.setSpeedSetting(0.4) for example. Is this possible?

Thanks Jim

Had this happen to me the other night. Had 4.17.6 and 4.17.1 installed on system, one as "This user only" and other
" for all Users" .. Apps& features showed a single instance of JMRI? but I had multiple icons on desktop. When I removed/Uninstalled JMRI 4.17.6, the App&features then showed a JMRI 4.17.1 as present ? and I could not remove it.? Going thru registry cleared up that mess.

I think I figured out why my display is missing parts, because I have a short in my layout panel, but in reality it?is a gapped self reversing block. ?Any advice how to set that up in the layout editor? ?Attachments coming soon.

JMRI should be installed "For All Users" (install with administrator privileges) but after this it's fine to run LaunchJMRI.exe with user privileges. JMRI runtime never attempts to modify the "C:\Program Files(x86)\JMRI\" directory hierarchy. The basic JMRI Settings are stored in "C:\Users\<yourusername>\JMRI\" (The Settings Location in Help->Locations). Other settings are stored in Profile Location and a few in User Files Location.

Installing JMRI "For This User Only" is not generally recommended and can lead to problems, not the least of which is two JMRI installations; one in the "C:\Program Files(x86)\JMRI\" directory and another in the user's hidden AppData...VirtualStore...JMRI hierarchy (not at a Windows machine to give exact path now), with the user being exposed to a an overlay of the two. This is usually manifest as two JMRI installations in Programs and Features, but manually cleaning out any JMRI references in the registry would erase such evidence and require a manual clean out of both locations.

BTW: For any Linux users, running JMRI as root can cause persistent problems with variants such as Ubuntu, Mint, etc.

Thank you.

You are correct Alfredo. F6 sets the volume. There is also a pot in the bottom of the locomotive, but it seems to have no effect. Unfortunately, the lowest volume is still too loud for my small room in my opinion. I may have to look at changing out the decoder eventually.?

You can see the setup for the JMRI installer here:



That’s the NSIS configuration file which builds the installer. Search for “regis” to see various items that mention registry operations.

To Marc & Dave,

After spending 30+ years as a IBM business computer programmer & then almost 10 years working with IBM rack mounted servers, my references to the registry entries I was finding is my way to try & help with my problem. That is the reason for running CrudCleaner to find those unattached registry entries & get rid of them. What I did not do was to run RegEdit to "find" all the JMRI references still left after running CrudCleaner. The references I found last night was after an install of 4.17.6 after uninstalling 4.16. What i am drawing a blank is how I did the uninstall. For programs I use the Start || Settings || Apps || Apps & Features || the icon for the program being uninstalled which in this case was JMRI.

I also was looking at the authority of LaunchJMRI.exe after the install. "Users" have only Read & Execute & Read authority. I am generally inclined to run an important app with admin authority. Is that a problem? Admins & System users have full authority. LaunchJMRI is in the same folder as the InstallTest batch file but here I probably right clicked the batch file & clicked Run as Administrator.

I will continue to wonder through the logs looking for Errors or something that to me raises a question.

Thanks - Dennis Munro

Dave,

OK. JMRI does not use/modify the registry ... but simply installing JMRI causes 26 "changes" to the registry.

This I observed from a clean, 0% JMRI present in registry, install and then Immediate uninstall of JMRI without using or working with any component of JMRI. There were still 14 changes to registry present re JMRI AFTER uninstall of JMRI using Apps & features.

After a reboot of PC, thinking an update to registry might occur, the 14 changes to registry re JMRI still remain. Granted these are possibly not from the JMRI Installer per say, but they are done during the install process.

And I doubt it has anything to do with what Dennis is encountering, just my observation, for what it is worth.

Peter,? My take is he deleted the roster entry for the engine. Confusion sets in because of the wording he uses.

Frank,? Definition files are what the authors write up and provide? us re decoders.? We then use these definition files and? create our Roster entries from the details provided in the definition file.?

I doubt you? would have played around in the "definition" files them self, let alone delete. This is not something that can be done within JMRI.? You can ADD definition files but not remove definition files from within JMRI. ?
