- The stations, the signals passed, the horn points, the couplings, the consists and the timetable progress of the user's train are kept until a read adds something; the views asked for them every frame, which on a long session with many trains took the window down. A read that adds nothing no longer counts as a change. - The lights are checked against the lamps the vehicles at the ends have (written by the simulator from now on), as its driver checks them: Pc 1 without the upper headlight, with the auxiliary lamps, Pc 5 with the rear-end signals. Only while the user drives: the autopilot's lights are its own. - A train off the platform counts at both ends: its head past the stop point as well as its tail before the platform's end. - A recording without the couplings keeps the timetable for any vehicle of the user. - A signal passed at danger is ringed on the map only once it was. - In the tapes window a black box opens on a click or Enter, not when the arrow keys go over it. - The viewer's screenshot of a window not laid out saves nothing and still closes.
StarterNG
Launcher for the MaSzyna train simulator, written in C# with Avalonia.
Building a native (NativeAOT) build
The project publishes as a self-contained NativeAOT binary — no .NET runtime is
needed on the target machine. The commands below are the same ones CI runs, see
.github/workflows/dotnet.yml.
Requirements:
- .NET SDK 9
- Linux: a native toolchain and zlib headers —
sudo apt install clang zlib1g-dev(Debian/Ubuntu) orsudo dnf install clang zlib-devel(Fedora) - Windows: the Visual Studio C++ build tools (Desktop development with C++)
Restore for the target runtime first, then publish:
dotnet restore StarterNG/StarterNG.csproj -r linux-x64
dotnet publish StarterNG/StarterNG.csproj \
-c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true --no-restore \
-p:PublishAot=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true \
-o publish/linux-x64
For a Windows build swap both linux-x64 occurrences for win-x64 (and the
line continuations for PowerShell backticks). NativeAOT does not cross-compile,
so the Windows package has to be built on Windows and the Linux one on Linux —
that is why CI uses a windows-2022 and an ubuntu-22.04 runner.
The output directory is the whole distributable: the Starter executable, the
Skia/HarfBuzz native libraries and startercfg/ with the translations and the
default key bindings. The .dbg (or .pdb) file next to it is debug symbols and
can be dropped from a release. Trim/AOT analysis warnings during the publish are
expected and do not fail the build.
CI builds both runtimes on every push and pull request to main and staging,
and on manual dispatch. Pushes additionally replace a rolling pre-release with
the packaged artifacts — tagged latest for main and staging for staging.
Development build
dotnet build StarterNG/StarterNG.csproj
