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`.
CabActivisation() passed DirAbsolute (DirActive * CabActive) as the value of the
"Direction" command, which every receiving vehicle stores as its own DirActive.
Every other sender passes DirActive. With the cab at the rear end (CabActive = -1)
the two have opposite signs, so the other units got their reverser flipped
against the controlling one.
It shows whenever a rear cab is activated after the reverser has been set:
- the AI takes over an occupied cab (TakeControl() calls CabActivisation(true)),
e.g. an EN57 inserted with reardriver and a starting velocity: the motor car
drives the train backwards;
- a vehicle without automatic cab activation (SA134) driven by the AI from the
start: the cab is activated by a driver hint after the reverser is set, and
the two units pull against each other.
Fixes#169.
The binding tracker kept the name of a deleted buffer. When gl handed that
name to a new buffer, the tracker took it for already bound and skipped the
bind, so a new vao was left without its index buffer and the nvidia driver
read indices from a null pointer.
* 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.

make_event() lowercased the event name twice: cParser::getToken() already
folds ASCII via toLowerChar() (which intentionally leaves bytes >= 0x80
alone), then ToLower() ran std::tolower() over every byte on top of that.
With a non-"C" global locale, that second pass remaps cp1250 uppercase
accented letters (e.g. 0xAF -> 0xBF). Every lookup path - TTrack::AssignEvents(),
child-event resolution in multi_event, event-launcher name resolution -
normalizes only through the parser, so a registered name containing such a
letter can no longer be found: the track logs "can't find assigned event"
and the binding is silently dropped.
Removing the extra ToLower() makes the registration key match every lookup
site (ASCII-only folding, non-ASCII bytes compared verbatim), and matches
the direction toLowerChar()'s own comment already points at for UTF-8.
A whois with no triggering vehicle previously just wrote nothing to
the target cell with no trace in the log, which is a real pain to
diagnose from the scenery side (this is exactly the kind of thing that
cost real debugging time on a station script recently).
