The spawn count of the smoke source of a vehicle moves out of
smoke_source::update() into smoke::vehicle_spawn_count() (vehicle/smoke.h),
a free function on the mover state, which joins the core library so the
unit tests can call it the way the source does. The rates are the same as
before, the steady rate of the source still counted in before the share of
the engine.
Tests: tests/unit/test_smoke.cpp. A vehicle taken off the tracks spawns no
smoke and drops the pending particles, with the engine starting, idling or
under load; a road vehicle back from the pool puffs again; the engine adds
to the steady rate; the pending count stays within the room of the source.
Two of the four fail without the fix.
Checked again on td.scn with the SM42 driven into a portal: the smoke
source keeps puffing on the run and drops to 0 particles once the vehicle
is taken off the tracks.
The test whether a vehicle belongs to the player train dereferenced
simulation::Train without a null check (commented out long ago). The
driver mode switches to the free camera in the same frame the player train
goes through a portal, before the sounds are updated, so it isn't known to
crash, but nothing else guards it.
The condition added for holding the speed uphill near a stop pushed the
cognitive complexity of control_tractive_force() to 26, over the 25
SonarCloud allows. It now lives in is_too_fast_uphill(); the behaviour
is unchanged.
adjust_desired_speed_for_braking_test runs after the target speed was
worked out and overwrites AccDesired. In its third phase it holds the
deceleration near fAccThreshold until the speed has dropped by 8 km/h.
On a 20 per mille descent that application barely holds the speed, so
the phase can last minutes, and a stop signal coming up meanwhile is
ignored. In one real-time run an E186 with 19 container wagons started
the test 1290 m before a stop signal, lost 7 km/h by the signal and
overran it by 274 m after the emergency application.
While the test runs the AI now uses whichever of the two asks for the
harder braking: the test may brake harder than the route needs, never
softer.
Measured in real time, four runs of 32 consists each on a 20 per mille
descent, on the flat and on the descent with half the rail adhesion:
the test no longer runs within 600 m of a stop signal (before: down to
414 m on this branch, and 14 m with the overrun above in a build with
other brake changes), no overruns, stops 8-15 m short of the signal 86,
117 and 83 of 128 (before 90, 117 and 78).
Within fMaxProximityDist of a stop, going uphill, the AI holds its speed
with AccDesired = min(0, AccPreferred). control_tractive_force only cut
the power uphill when AccDesired < 0, so an AccDesired of exactly 0 kept
the controller where it was. A consist that came into that range under
power kept full power and crept up to the signal.
Holding the speed uphill on the way to a stop now asks for no speeding
up: power comes off once the train is faster than AccDesired allows.
With the current brake valves this rarely shows: on a 10 per mille climb,
four real-time runs of 32 consists each, the E186 with 25 empty 408W drew
power in 0-14 samples of the last 50 m before and 0-8 after, no overruns
either way. It surfaced once the AI predicted the ESt3 brake closer to
what the valve delivers, where the same train crept to 12 km/h from 40 m
out and overran the signal; with this change it stopped short in all runs.
The side sway from the lateral acceleration now goes off only on a track with a sideways value, and the random jolts on one with a vertical or a sideways value. Dips at the rail joints and cross level alone replace neither. On a switch it goes by the path set and what its joined tracks allow.
An edit in the editor also rebuilds the other switches of a joined group with the tracks they meet, and the tracks of a rail run whose joints moved. Removing a track does the same. While dragging, the tracks further off wait until the drag ends.
The clatter of a bogie's axles was right: the followers stand at the pivots and the offsets are the places of the wheel sets. The misleading name goes.
Also what Sonar had left: a parameter as a span, a const method, a struct and its member apart, commented out code, and a function of the grading tool split, with the same output.
* fix: automatic coupler crashes, horns, compressor start delay, radio and cab lever sounds
fix(cab): the line contactors lamp goes out with the pressure switch (eu07/maszyna#470)
The lamp of the open line contactors, which tells the start can be made, went out at 1 bar in the brake
cylinders, while the pressure switch cuts the start off only at 2 bar (or below 3.6 bar in the main pipe), so
with the brakes partly applied the start could be made with the lamp out. With a pressure switch fitted the lamp
now follows it; without one it goes out at 1 bar as before. The same holds for the lamp of the second unit, which
used to keep its last state between 1 bar and the cut-off. The condition is
TMoverParameters::LineContactorsLampLit().
Tests: tests/unit/test_line_contactors.cpp.
refactor: Sonar findings of PR 217
- horn_supply::pneumatic shadowed the pneumatic enumerator of the sound flags (cpp:S1117), it's horn_supply::air;
the supplies read with using enum (S6177),
- CouplerForce(): the automatic coupling refused or caught without another level of nested ifs (S134), the
same outcome: too fast, the coupling is locked; caught, coupled and locked; otherwise left to try again,
- CompressorCheck(): the power the compressor doesn't draw yet noted without a TODO (S1135),
- tests: the previous crash damage setting in an in-class initializer (S3230), the loops which stop early with
break rather than in their conditions (S886), the stand-ins of test::pair in a std::vector rather than an array
(S5945), units in the comments of the example without /* */ (S1103).
test: the cases the changes of the branch left without a test
- Cntrl.: BDelay1 to BDelay4 reach the brake delays (now through std::format), the default start types of the
ground and converter overload relays of a multiple unit and of other vehicles (out of the nested conditionals),
- the compressor: fed from the low voltage it waits from the low voltage coming on; the pressure switch stops it
above the cut-out pressure, without one the excess air is vented (the vented fraction rewritten),
- the horns: a vehicle without any air sounds as before, the threshold pressure, an electric horn on 110 V,
- the positions of a cab control below zero, and a control without position sounds.
refactor(cab): the kind of the train heating switch as a flag
Read once with the vehicle definition, rather than compared as text in each of the switch commands.
feat(cab): train heating switch springing back (MaSzyna-EU07/maszyna#85)
TrainHeating=[toggle]|impulse in the Switches: section of the vehicle definition makes the train heating switch
an unstable one: it goes up to switch the heating on, down to switch it off, and back to the middle once let go,
instead of staying where it was put. The position of such a switch isn't set from the heating state when the cab
is entered.
Tests: tests/unit/test_switches.cpp.
feat(sound): mirror sounds (MaSzyna-EU07/maszyna#84, eu07/maszyna#322)
The sound definitions of a vehicle (.mmd) take mirroropen: and mirrorclose:, played as a mirror sets off
unfolding or folding, and the locations section mirrors: <offset>... end, the offsets along the vehicle of the
mirror pairs, as for the doors (negative ahead of the centre), each pair at the sides of the vehicle. As the
animation, only the mirrors at the occupied cab sound. The start of a move is mirror_moves::motion in
vehicle/mirrors.h.
Tests: tests/unit/test_mirrors.cpp.
feat(cab): joint oil and fuel pump switch (MaSzyna-EU07/maszyna#81)
A cab control oilfuelpump_sw: switches both the oil and the fuel pump at once, with the new command
oilfuelpumptoggle (no key by default). As a two-state switch it turns both pumps off when both are on and both on
otherwise; as an impulse switch it's held to start them, like the separate pump switches. Its position follows
the pumps when the cab is entered.
refactor(editor): text fields filled without strncpy (MaSzyna-EU07/maszyna#112)
The last three strncpy calls Sonar flags (cpp:S5816), in the road and track editors, copy the text into the
ImGui field buffers with std::string::copy and terminate it right after; the text gets cut to the buffer as
before.
fix: automatic coupler crashes, horns, compressor start delay, radio and cab lever sounds
- automatic couplers don't catch above the safe collision speed (#86): with crash damage on they couple at a
closing speed of 15 km/h at most, a faster hit locks the coupling until the vehicles part and the collision
runs its course. On the way: CollisionVelocity() read a head-on 10 + 10 km/h as 14.1 km/h (quaternions turn
by half the angle), it's now taken from the touching ends; CollisionDetect() took the other vehicle's speed
the wrong way round for vehicles facing each other. Head-on hits now derail sooner, at the intended limit,
- a single horn lever can't sound both tones at once (eu07/maszyna#392),
- a skid ends once the vehicle stops on locked wheels (eu07/maszyna#479),
- electronic destination signs are blanked at the end of the timetable (eu07/maszyna#446),
- horns need the air or the voltage to sound (eu07/maszyna#290, #76): HornType=[Pneumatic]|Electric and
Horn3Type in Cntrl.; a pneumatic horn needs 0.2 MPa in the main reservoir (or the main pipe without one),
an electric one the low voltage; the lever stays where it was put,
- compressor start delay (#67): CompressorStartDelay [s] in Brake., counted from the compressor getting its
power, after the engine starts say; none by default,
- the channel and volume buttons of a radio without power do nothing (eu07/maszyna#429); the power check of
the radio is TMoverParameters::RadioPowered(),
- a lever moved smoothly sounds the positions it passes (#83).
Sonar findings in the functions changed: nesting, nested conditionals, commented-out code, std::format,
references to const. Unit tests: test::pair for two vehicles running into each other, test_couplers,
test_horn, test_wheelslip, test_compressor, test_radio, test_gauge_positions.
* fix: review findings of PR 217
- the pressures of the mover are in bar (MinCP=7.0 in the vehicle definitions), so the 0.2 the pneumatic horns
needed was 0.2 bar; it's 2 bar now, and the tests take their pressures in bar too,
- the lamps of the ground relay and of the motor overload relays follow the pressure switch as the line
contactors one does, TMoverParameters::MainCircuitLampsEnabled(), so the lamps of one cab go out together,
- the joint oil and fuel pump switch leaves out a pump started automatically, which ignores the switching:
with one, it couldn't turn the other off, and showed off with both running (OilFuelPumpsEnabled()),
- the kind of the train heating switch comes from the occupied vehicle on entering the cab too, as in the
switch commands; in a multiple unit these are different vehicles,
- CouplerForce() put the force taken back by the other vehicle on its far coupler when the vehicles faced each
other (Couplers[1 - End] rather than the coupler it's coupled with),
- the velocity difference along the coupler axis computed once, CouplerVelocityDifference(), for CouplerForce()
and CollisionVelocity(),
- the attachcoupler flag added without the SetFlag() call with 0, the index of the mirror moves noted as by side.
Tests: the coupler force of vehicles facing each other, the joint switch with an automatic pump, the lamps of
the main circuit, the horn and compressor pressures in bar.
* fix: coupler force of vehicles facing each other taken back along the other vehicle's axis
CForce runs along the axis of its own vehicle, so the force the other vehicle takes back on its coupler of the pair
is turned around once more when the vehicles face each other (-CF * DirPatch()), as that vehicle computes it itself.
Tests: the coupler forces of the pair facing each other and facing the same way.
The blockers are in the EP brake of a vehicle, older than this work: its
arrays made with new[] are vectors now, which also removes the deletes.
- The caches of the unevenness of a track are no longer mutable: what fills
them isn't const any more.
- TSegment gets back to RaPositionGet in one piece, with what the path has
to do with the others in one struct.
- Less nesting in the group of switches and in the fields of the editor,
nested conditionals written out, and the attribute is read from a
string_view. A test no longer counts in floating point.
No change in behaviour.
The rules stay in TrackUneven.h with no dependence on the engine, as they can
be tested. Their use on the tracks moves out of Track.cpp to TrackUneven.cpp,
split into steps: the group of switches, the values of its paths, the meeting
of two ends. One set of helpers for the paths of a track takes the place of
the same conditions written out in several places, and the value at the ends
of a switch is worked out in one place. The clatter of an axle leaves the long
Update of a vehicle. The fields in the editor say themselves when they show.
No change in behaviour.
- A path of no length gave a joint with a vector across of NaN to the path
joined to it, on any scenery, with unevenness or not. It now has no
vector across, and so makes no joint.
- Axles no longer stray along the track. It moved vehicles against each
other, changing the distance their couplers go by.
- The bend under an axle goes straight on past the ends of a path: the
polynomial ran off on a short curved one, with a kick in the cab shake.
- A track left out of its rail run, where tracks are joined one way only,
no longer walks the whole run again on every call.
- The clatter of an axle goes by the outer axle on its side of the vehicle,
and not always by the same one, as the two can be on different tracks.
- A vertex works out the amounts once, and the foot of the ballast not at all.
On such a track the sway drawn from the lateral acceleration, that is
from the curve radius, and the jolts drawn at random are off. Tracks
with no unevenness shake the cab as before. Hunting stays: it goes by the
vehicle and its speed, not by the track.
The phase of the rails was wrapped to the rail length of the track the
vehicle is on, while an axle can be on a track with longer rails. From
then on every frame looked like a joint crossed.
Usage, optional attributes of a track entry, before endtrack:
uneven <mm> peak deviation of a rail on a 10 m chord, 0-100; normal and switch
unevenup <mm> up and down alone, instead of uneven; normal and switch
unevenside <mm> sideways alone, instead of uneven; normal and switch
unevencross <mm> cross level alone, instead of uneven; normal only
jointdip <mm> depth of the dip at rail joints, every sound distance; normal only,
default 0.4 of the up and down component
Values of uneven follow PLK Id-14 appendix 1: 6 mm is the limit at 160 km/h, 10 at 120,
18 at 80, 35 at 40; half of it for a track in a good state. Example:
uneven 18
unevencross 25
jointdip 6
endtrack
The same fields are in the editor, track panel, section Ride and sound. See
track_uneven_doc.md.
The unevenness is a displacement field over the plan of the scenery, with no random
numbers: one place strays the same every time, and joined tracks, the paths of a switch,
sleepermodel and axles at one place move together. Tracks meet at a joint at the lower of
their values. Joined switches take the lowest of theirs, the tracks joined to them come to
it, and a track with none of a component keeps the switch to its design in it. The clatter
comes from the dipping joints. Curve radius and grade for the physics stay as designed.
Tracks with it get geometry every 2 m on straights: 4x the vertices on Baltyk with all
tracks flagged, 0.2 ms more per frame on td.scn.
* fix(ai): release what the AI was holding when the player takes over
* fix(ai): keep the light selector lookup within its table, Sonar findings of the handover
- the light selector size comes from the vehicle definition (LightsList Size)
and isn't limited, while the table holds 18 positions; a bigger selector
read past the table, and so did a table index other than the front or
rear one. Only the positions the table holds are looked at now, and the
selector stays where it is for a bad table index (cpp:S2259),
- the lambdas of the handover capture what they use explicitly (cpp:S3608),
- the chained assignments resetting the headlight state on the AI taking
over are split (cpp:S1121).

Inside the proximity range only a stop had a final approach of its own;
for a lower speed ahead that branch set nothing, so AccDesired stayed at
the preferred acceleration. With the range at 50 m, which this PR uses so
that trains stop 8-15 m short of a signal, the AI stopped braking within
the last 50 m before a speed restriction and even took power: EMUs reached
a 20 km/h restriction at 25 km/h. On master the range is 15-40 m, which
kept this mostly out of sight.
A lower speed ahead now keeps the braking curve right up to where it
begins. Stops are unchanged.
Measured in real time on current master (with #199), with a 20 km/h
restriction one coach long, two runs of 32 consists each: over 22 km/h in
the restriction on the flat 9 on master, 15 before this change, 1 after
(a 36WEa at 22.1 km/h); on the 20 per mille descent 15, 0 and 0. Stops
8-15 m short of the signal stay as they were (flat 57 and 55 of 64,
descent 44 and 42), no overruns.
- end the charging position when the control reservoir of any vehicle, the
locomotive included, rises 0.05 bar above the nominal pipe pressure
- standing and unable to depart for 10 s: allow the charging position
regardless of the equivalent pipe pressure and the train type
Resolve the conflicts with the merged nested ifs (#194) in
control_tractive_force() and control_braking_force(): the conditions keep
the new flattened form, with this branch's changes carried into them.
The function would flag the consist as not ready (`iEngineActive` set to `false`) when the brake handle was at a cutoff position. Since this is what the brake lever is exactly starting at in the EW58 train, the train when asked to move the brake lever to operating position would not listen since the `control_tractive_and_braking_force()` function which is supposed to do that is gated behind the readiness flag in the `TController::Update()` function.
This makes sure EW58 trains can be driven by AI once again instead of being stuck.
I don't really know why the brake position check was there, since it would fail only if:
- There is a brake handle
- The brake handle is in the cutoff position
- The brake handle is NOT in the operating position
The third check seems redundant but curiously there is one case where this matters and it's... MHZ_EN57. Its operating and cutoff positions are both defined as `0`, which might be a hack, since the actual cutoff position in the MHZ_EN57 handle is meant to be `6`.
When the AI takes power after a brake release, determine_consist_state()
marks the consist not Ready if any vehicle's distributor reports the lap
or application state (b_hld | b_on), whatever the speed, and the sanity
check in control_handles() then puts the master controller back to zero.
A distributor stays in the lap position until the brake pipe has fully
recharged, so a few seconds after a release, with 0.2-0.3 bar left in a
cylinder, one wagon of a train is enough to throw an EU07 or EP09 that
has just reached the 2nd-5th position back to zero; it starts again
moments later.
The check in motion was meant to be lenient (brake force over 10 kN),
but the distributor state was applied at any speed. In motion it now
counts only when the cylinder holds more than 0.4 bar, the UIC figure
already used a few lines below for a released brake. At a stand the
check is unchanged.
Measured in real time against master, two runs of each scenery (a 20 per
mille descent, flat and a 10 per mille climb with 32 consists each, and a
descent with 15 freight trains of other wagon types), with a 20 km/h
restriction one coach long: throttle-downs to zero in motion caused by
readiness drop from 13 to 1, 7 to 2, 0 to 0 and 13 to 6. Each of those
left has a wagon over 0.4 bar that is applying or lapped, or one still
releasing with more than 10 kN at walking pace. No coupler broke; signal
overruns, speeds in the restriction and rolling back on the climb
are the same as on master within run-to-run spread.
The new braking curve below plans the stop at the signal itself unless
the stopping point moves with it (in testing, trains stopped 0-3 m past
the signal), so both go in one change.
1. The braking curve.
The braking curve towards a lower speed or a stop assumed a constant
deceleration from the present speed over the whole distance. A pneumatic
brake does not work like that:
- it acts on the state the train is in once it has applied; while the
train is still speeding up (downhill), plan from the speed it will have
reached by then, over the distance left by then;
- cast iron blocks grip harder as the train slows, so a constant
deceleration plan asks for too much at the start and then releases;
follow the shape of the consist brake table (fBrake_a0/a1) over speed
instead (shaped_braking_demand), over the distance left once the brake
has had its fill time;
- no power while the train is still above the speed it is braking for.
IncBrake() only adds braking when the brake table says the present
position is not enough. When the table overestimates the consist (see
the previous rapid step fix, or a descent), the train keeps slowing too
little with the handle held. After the full fill time with the handle
unchanged, believe the train rather than the table (fBrakeHeldTime).
When the AI asks for no braking and the train is still slowing down more
than that, release. With the gentler plan above the demand eases off
early, and without this a heavy freight train in G came to a stand a few
hundred metres before a W4 with its brake still on (seen in testing).
2. The stopping window.
In train running the final approach to a stop signal began at
fMaxProximityDist (15-40 m, cargo 25-50 m), aimed at half of
fMinProximityDist (10-15 m, cargo 20-25 m), and set VelDesired = 0,
which asks for hard braking whatever the distance left. Where a train
came to a stand depended on how it entered that phase: on the test
sceneries anywhere from 1 to 45 m short of the signal on the flat and
25-42 m uphill for heavy freight.
For train running only (a W4 stop point, shunting and coupling keep the
old margins and the old final approach):
- stop 8-15 m short of the signal whatever the length of the train, aim
at the middle of that window (stopping_margin) both with the braking
curve and in the final approach, and ask there only for what the
distance left takes, following the consist brake table;
- start the final approach 50 m out (cargo 60 m) whether the train is
moving or standing; it used to be 15-40 m while moving and 50 m once
stopped, and with the gentler final approach above a train that came
to a stand between the two released to creep closer and, uphill,
rolled back and tried again;
- uphill, while the gradient alone would bring the train to a stand short
of the window, keep it rolling at no more than the speed the gradient
can take off by then, with power if needed;
- uphill, put the train brake on as the train comes to a stand, keep it
on while it stands, and apply it for real if the train rolls back. This
is done at the very end of pick_optimal_speed(): the adjustments made
before it assume a train moving forward and can raise the demand back
to "no braking" (with the rule placed earlier, EMUs rolled back up to
90 m in testing). The EMU branch of
control_braking_force() gets the "slipping back" condition the wagon
branch has always had.
3. Known limitation.
Heavy trains of wagons with the ESt3AL2 distributor (413S, 601W and
alike) respond more slowly than the AI expects: with the present brake
model the distributor fills the AL2 relay chamber, whose capacity is set
to 2 in TNESt3::SetSize (Przekladniki[i]->CreateCap(i)), through
orifices sized for about 1 l, so these wagons need 34 s to reach 95 %
cylinder pressure in G against 21 s for a plain ESt3. On a 20 per mille
descent an ET22 with 20 loaded 413S wagons overran the stop signal by up
to 6.5 m in 6 of 24 runs at x20 with this change. With the relay chamber
at 1 l and the release orifices at about 80 % of their diameter, as the
author of the brake model suggested, none of them did (0 of 16).
Two changes that only work together: the first on its own lets a heavy
freight train brake less on a descent than it needs (in testing an
ET42 with 30 loaded wagons overran the stop signal by 16-48 m at 20 per
mille), the second makes the hold on a descent what it should be.
The comparison that decides whether the AI may skip its reaction time
between two brake steps stays on the brake-only demand, as before: it
is about how much brake is asked for, and a heavy train in G approaching
a stop on a descent needs its brake built up at once. Compared in the
resultant frame, that train built up its brake one step per reaction
time and overran the signal (16 copies of the ET42 train, x20:
22 of 32 overruns with the comparison moved, 0 of 48 with it kept).
1. Compare the measured deceleration in the same frame.
Going downhill, adjust_desired_speed_for_current_speed() subtracts the
gravity component from AccDesired, so that IncBrake() sizes the handle
position for what the brake alone has to deliver. control_braking_force()
then compares that brake-only value with AbsAccS, which is the resultant
acceleration and already contains the gravity. On a 20 per mille descent
the two differ by about 0.2 m/s2, so the AI asked for more braking than
the target needed and then released, and repeated that.
Keep the subtracted part in fAccDesiredGravity and add it back wherever
AccDesired is compared with AbsAccS. It is zero everywhere else (flat,
uphill, braking test), so the behaviour there does not change.
2. Hold the speed with one continuous law.
On a descent the AI looks ahead to decide whether it will exceed the
target speed. The look-ahead was (1 - a0) * 30 / 3.6 s, a few seconds,
while a pneumatic brake in G takes tens of seconds to apply or to
release; the AI therefore acted on an estimate the train had already
left behind. The demand then jumped between the braking threshold above
the target and a lerp towards full acceleration below it, and with the
brake that slow this turned into long alternating applications and
releases.
- look ahead for half the brake application time while the train is
speeding up and half the release time while it is slowing down
(brake_response_horizon), never less than before;
- use one law on both sides of the target, proportional to the
predicted difference, and hold a band just below the limit that widens
with the gradient (pneumatic up to 3 km/h, EP/electric up to 1.5 km/h);
- once below a lower limit ahead, hold that limit instead of speeding up
towards the line speed and braking again.
* Fix the speed table index remap in TablePurger()
TablePurger() rebuilds the speed table and has to move SemNextIndex and
SemNextStopIndex along with it. Two cases came out wrong.
A trimmed point was never invalidated: the index was first overwritten with
the position the next kept point would take, and the guard that should reset
it to -1 compared the loop counter against that new value, so it only matched
when nothing had been trimmed before it. The index then pointed at an
unrelated record, and if that record happens to sit at zero velocity the
placement can no longer be updated either, because the update requires the
recorded one to be non-zero.
An index pointing at the last entry was left untouched, because the loop stops
one short of it and that entry is appended afterwards. The stale value ended
up past the end of the trimmed table, which is what the provisory check in
TableTraceRoute() catches.
The placements are now recorded separately and assigned once the new table is
complete, with the always-kept last entry handled too. The trim condition is
shared by the counting and the copying pass instead of being spelled out
twice.
TableCheck() drops entries beyond a switch that changed under the scan without
adjusting the placements either, so they are invalidated there as well. The
check in TableTraceRoute() stays as a safety net, without the TODO.
* Sort the whole speed table in TableSort()
TableSort() made a single bubble pass over the table. That only moves an entry
one place towards the front, but TableTraceRoute() adds the scanned events of a
track before the track itself, so a track carrying k scanned events lands k
places too far and needs k passes. With two or more events in one slot - a cab
signal resonator next to a signal, a signal and a W4 - the track entry stays
behind entries that are farther away, and TableUpdate() walks the table out of
distance order until enough later scans have shifted it back.
The range before the last slot is now sorted with std::stable_sort, and the
semaphor placements are moved along by looking their events up again.

When the Autorewident function is enabled, the EP fuse switch will no longer automatically engage or disengage if the player is controlling the train. This would happen for example when approaching a station.
Simplified lamp logic by reducing unnecessary brackets, `if` statements, ternary operators and boolean comparisons.
Added new lamps:
- `i-gear1` - 1st gear in the gearbox is active
- `i-gear2` - 2nd gear in the gearbox is active
- `i-hydrolockup` - The gearbox is locking the engine and wheels together
Additionally, fixed motor overload and differential relay lights not turning off when the battery is turned off.
