Sounds like an addon conflict.
Please read the Troubleshooting Guide.

Also more details would be great.
Like which SW addon exactly? And please post a video or some screenshots of you issue. Please be so kind and give us any new info about that problem here for best fixing efforts.

We talked with the developer of the tool. It seems that he made a mistake in his code.

In the tool you can add rail pieces via LUA with vectors and angles or with model attachments. We use for all our addons model attachments. It's easier and the Track Assembly Tool offer this method.

But like I said, it seems the developer of the tool made a mistake and broke this function. So we have to wait patiently until he fix it. There is at the moment nothing what I can do.

We are aware of the problem and are working on it!

We have investigated the cause of it in a debugging session with FruitBerryCrunch, Grocel and me. It seems to be a particular side effect in the source engine caused by tracing. We have found such code in this addon:

I will take care of this issue in our addons to account for this sideeffect.
Please make sure you don't have any addon conflicts while we work on a fix.
Thanks @FruitBerryCrunch for helping to find this issue.

Every time I try to build a track with the train props, often I can't snap them together, and when I do, It doesn't even connect. Instead it places the track next to the previous. The switch tracks are basically useless with this tool as they can't connect to anything. I could use Smart Welder, but it doesn't even recognise the rails, so that is unusable.

And I'm using the 64-bit branch btw.

Yeah a fix would be nice, but considering the awful state this is in, if it is in a state at all, there might not be any hope in fixing this bug.

Still, a life hack would be nice.

Why do you report a Track Assembly Tool issue to me?
I'm not the developer of the tool.

If you have trouble using the tool, then there is nothing I can do.

EDIT 1:
I still looked into the issue.
Next time be more specific that you only have one attachment point per rail and it have something to do with my stuff. You should always mention that when I need to understand the issue correctly, I can't read minds dude. In the first moment your report just sounded for me like a bug report for the TA Tool in general.

Anyways, we take care of this problem.

EDIT 2:
Changed your title from:

Closed because no further details were given.
The error was not able to reproduce on developer side unfortunately.

Please check the game version like in the video. You can see it in the main menu in the top right corner. (2024.12.09)
It should be the same. If the game version don't match, update of your GMod.
Otherwise it is not guaranteed to fully function.

Aswell should be the SW Addon versions the same.
You can see the addon versions in the console after you spawn on the map.
Please check them all:

• SW Base (v1.1.1)
  
• SW Automatic Train (v1.1.0)
  
• SW Tram (v1.0.1)
  
• SW Western Loco (v1.1.2)

If the versions don't match, update your SW Addons.
Otherwise it is not guaranteed to fully function.

If that still not work rule out a addon conflict via the troubleshooting guide:

Please respond to this report if the issue is fixed or still exist so we can figure out what's wrong. If you find more details, post them with you next answer!

Done! (Update: 16. Dez. 2024)

I wanted to add a speedo to indicate the load / unload speed. But it didn't get done before the update. Besides that it will be a HUD speedo, nothing on the model.

So this is basically a feature that I wanted to add anyway. ^^

Fixed and closed as solved. Thank you for the report!

I have to deny that.

The minitrains have a build in delevery system which I feeled the need to create those maps but for anything else the community should build that. It musn't even be a map. A good created savegame in specific maps can bring the better joy I think.

Sure, another argument would be that the BlueX14 and the Bodygroup-Car have also maps, but they come with a specific purpose too that made these maps necessary.

The Suspension trains does not fulfill this requirement. That's the reason why we worked on support for the Track-Assembly-Tool.
