For the best Metrostroi experience you should set up a dedicated server using Source Dedicated Server (srcds). This page contains instructions on how to set up a server, populate it with Metrostroi content and play on it.

{{Important|The machine on which you intend to run this server should be running Windows or a Windows virtual machine. This is because it is highly recommended to install Turbostroi, a Windows-only binary that allows far greater performance. Servers hosted on other operating systems will perform poorly without Turbostroi.}}

=Setting up a basic server =
Follow [https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server this guide] to install a basic Garry's Mod server. This server will have no extra content other than the base game. There are lots of high-quality server setup and maintenance guides available on Google/Bing/Yandex/etc.
{{Important|You must set the server tickrate to 33 or Metrostroi may be unstable. Add this to the server launch command-line: <pre>-tickrate 33</pre>}}

=Installing Metrostroi=
The easiest way to install addons on a dedicated sever is to connect the server to a Steam Workshop collection.

If you will only be playing Metrostroi on this server, the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660685783 default Metrostroi collection] (ID 1660685783) will be adequate.

Alternatively, you can add more content, even content not related to Metrostroi, by making your own collection. You can can do this [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/editcollection/?appid=4000 here]. (Make sure you are signed in to Steam on your browser before clicking this link or it will redirect you somewhere else) This collection should contain at an absolute minimum:
* [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=261801217 Metrostroi (Subway Simulator)]
* Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Content Packs:
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095094174 Part 1]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095098251 Part 2]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095100683 Part 3]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095105863 Part 4]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095109617 Part 5]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095111608 Part 6]
* [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095130789 Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Scripts]
* Any of the Metrostroi maps from [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/List_of_maps here] or [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&searchtext=Metrostroi&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=items&requiredtags%5B%5D=Map here].

You must then append the server startup command-line with the following:
<pre>+host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID</pre>
{{Important|'''Replace WORKSHOPID with either 1660685783 (the default collection) or your own collection ID.''' A collection's ID is found at the end of the collection's URL.}}

==Configuration==
A list of available convars is available [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Console_Commands#Server-side_Commands here].

As a server administrator you can enable the use of Metrostroi trains on non-Metrostroi maps by unchecking the box "Require third rail" in the spawn menu (hold Q) under Utilities, Metrostroi, Admin. Many trains will still expect an ARS signal and may not work well without it.

The [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838480881 Metrostroi Advanced] addon provides additional facilities for server administrators, as well as quality-of-life enhancements for players such as station teleports and an automatic train re-railer. It requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id ULX], which in turn requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=557962238 ULib].

=Installing Turbostroi=
Turbostroi speeds up the Metrostroi simulations by allowing the simulations to use multiple CPU threads, improving performance. A dedicated server with Turbostroi installed is often over 5x as fast as playing Metrostroi in the built-in Singleplayer mode in Garry's Mod.

{{Important|'''Turbostroi is only compatible with the Windows version of the Garry's Mod server. It is not compatible with Garry's Mod servers on other operating systems or the game itself.'''}}

Download the Turbostroi binary from [https://metrostroi.net/turbostroi here] and place it into the "/garrysmod/lua/bin/" folder in your server. Create the "bin" folder if it isn't already present.

{{Important|Because it is a DLL file, some web browsers may mark the Turbostroi file as harmful. This is a false positive and can be safely ignored. VirusTotal results for Turbostroi can be viewed [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fca58b3700d2753db783bb1d9cdec399ce5e3a8cb92eae6f47555093954982f0/detection here].}}

==Configuration==
'''It is recommended to disable hyper-threading if possible.'''

You can set what threads Turbostroi should use to get even better perfomance:

This command sets the SRCDS main thread to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
<pre>turbostroi_main_cores x</pre>

This command sets the Metrostroi train threads to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
<pre>turbostroi_train_cores x</pre>

For example, on a 4-core system you should set turbostroi_main_cores and turbostroi_train_cores to 8 and 7 respectively, or 128 and 127 respectively with hyperthreading enabled. This setup will run the main SRCDS thread on the last CPU thread, leaving the rest for Metrostroi.

=Connecting to the server=
The method for connecting to the Metrostroi server varies depending on your circumstances.

==Localhost LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on the same computer you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, you can run this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect localhost</pre>

==LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on a different computer to the one you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, if you know the other computer's local IP address (normally starting with 192) you can connect to it by running this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre> (where IPADDRESS is replaced with the other computer's local IP)

You can find a computer's local IP address by running the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ipconfig ipconfig] command in Command Prompt on Windows.

==WAN==
If you are hosting the server on a computer on a different network to the computer on which you will be playing, or you wish to make your server open for multiplayer, you will need to forward ports 27005 and 27015 on the router for both TCP and UDP. The exact process for this varies between routers; [https://portforward.com/ portforward.com] hosts comprehensive guides for thousands of routers.

Once you have forwarded ports 27005 and 27015, you can connect to the server with its public IP address. You can find its public IP by opening [https://www.whatismyip.com/ this link] on the server computer. Run this command in the Garry's Mod developer console to connect:
<pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre>
(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the server's public IP). The server should also automatically appear in the server browser.

You can password protect your server to prevent strangers from joining by adding the following to the /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file in the server: <pre>sv_password "PASSWORD"</pre> where PASSWORD is replaced with a password of your choice.

=About Metrostroi=
Metrostroi is a free modification (add-on) for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry%E2%80%99s_Mod Garry's Mod]. In Metrostroi, you can feel like a conductor in the cab of a real metro train with all of the main electric, pneumatic and physical systems of the train accurately modelled and simulated. Every component of every train has true-to-life physical properties and the trains and maps have realistic sound effects.

The 2018 version includes the following trains:
* 81-702 ("D" type)
* E, Ezh, Ezh1
* 81-717/714 (Moscow and SPB types)
* Ezh3, Em508T
* Ema502, Em501 (From KVL and NVL)
* 81-718/719 (TISU from Kharkiv)
* 81-720/721 "Yauza" (DC from 1997)
* 81-722/723/724 "Yubileyniy"

Metrostroi is a prototype for [https://subtrans.it/ Subtransit].

__TOC__

=Installation=
Metrostroi is an addon for Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is available on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/ Steam] for $10/£7, although it is frequently reduced in Steam sales.

Once you have purchased and installed Garry's Mod through Steam (or if you have already done so previously) you must then subscribe to the Metrostroi addons in the Steam Workshop. They will then be installed, at which point you must open the game and let them be unpacked and mounted. Follow these instructions precisely:

# Subscribe to all addons listed in [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1098503782 this collection] by clicking the "Subscribe to all" button above the list.
# Wait for the "Garry's Mod - Workshop Content" item in your downloads queue to complete.
# Launch Garry's Mod and wait for the addons to unpack and mount. The process is complete when the loading box at the bottom of the screen disappears.

'''Note:''' The first time launching Garry's Mod after downloading large addons such as Metrostroi may take a while. Please be patient, even if the game appears to have crashed!

{{Important|In the "Advanced" section of the Video settings in Garry's Mod, '''"Model detail", "Shadow Detail" and "Texture detail" must be set to "High"''' or the trains and levels may not display correctly. Additionally, '''"Anti-aliasing" must be set to at least 2x MSAA''' to prevent visual bugs with transparency in glass panels, headlights etc. '''Reducing graphics settings has very little effect on Metrostroi performance in Garry's Mod due to the age of the Source engine.'''}}
{{Important|If you are experiencing missing models/materials (pink and black chequered tiles and flashing red "ERROR"s) and/or strange bugs or errors, you can force Steam/Garry's Mod to reinstall Metrostroi. Right click on Garry's Mod in your library, go to Properties, then the Local Files tab and click Browse. Open the "garrysmod" folder and delete all files and folders related to Metrostroi in the "addons" and "data" folders. Please note that some maps may have missing models/materials if they are in development or unfinished, and that reinstalling Metrostroi will not fix these.}}
{{Important|'''These addons are incompatible with the current version of Metrostroi:''' 81-717.6, Ema cargo, Drivable Trams. '''They MUST be deleted & unsubscribed from or disabled in the Addons menu in Garry's Mod, or Metrostroi will encounter unexpected errors and problems!'''}}
{{Important|As of the 2nd of August 2017 you '''NO LONGER NEED''' the downloaded content from the Github. It is '''highly recommended to delete this content if you still have it.''' If you did not know about the Metrostroi Github content then you can safely ignore this warning.}}

=Singleplayer Game=
Due to limitations in the Source engine, playing Metrostroi in the normal singleplayer mode provided in Garry's Mod is not recommended as performance will be extremely poor, with single-digit frames per second. Additionally, no amount of lowering graphics settings will help performance, as these performance problems are CPU related (more specifically, Garry's Mod can only use very few CPU threads, which is bad for intensive simulators). Instead, it is '''highly recommended to create a dedicated server''' in your local network. Instructions on how to set this up can be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

You can still play by yourself, by simply creating a server then joining it alone.

=Multiplayer game=
To play on public servers with other players, you can either host your own server or join an existing one.

To join an existing Metrostroi server, open Garry's Mod, click "Find Multiplayer game" and search by key map names such as those at the bottom of this page. The maps themselves are separate addons to Metrostroi; make sure you install the map on your end first, so that you can check the map's required addons and make sure they are installed, otherwise you may see missing textures (pink and black chequered tiles) and red flashing "ERROR"s. The required addons can often differ from Metrostroi defaults, Garrygrad content and vary from map to map as well as sometimes being completely unrelated to Metrostroi.

There are two types of servers: ranked and unranked. In ranked servers you need to pass exams to drive a train, which are not recommended for new players. Unranked servers are free-to-drive, where you can spawn and drive without any exams. A given server will generally indicate what type of game it hosts, but if it is not indicated it is usually unranked. Servers are hosted by the community so there is unfortunately not much consistency between them, their communities and the content available. Because of this, not much concrete guidance on multiplayer gameplay can be provided.

Instructions on how to set up your own server be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

=Driving Manuals=
PDF manuals for the Metrostroi trains are available [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5oqrYR283jWTFhkUkcwZnhWR1E?usp=sharing here]. Please note that these are currently only in Russian, but will hopefully be translated soon. A basic driving guide is available in English [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics here]. It focuses on the 81-717 although most of the basic principles apply to all of the trains.

=Maps=
You can find a list of officially recognised Metrostroi maps including Workshop links and supported features [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/List_of_maps here].

Other train maps (sometimes referred to as "trainbuild" maps) are available, although Metrostroi does not officially work with/support them, and there will be no simulated power supply, ARS, etc. For the best experience you should always seek dedicated Metrostroi maps.

Train basics

2021-03-26T08:48:26Z

Destersmek: /* Starting from powered-up state */

This page will introduce the basic concepts which you will need to be familiar with to pilot trains in Metrostroi. It will explain the basic mechanics and safety systems at play, as well as start-up procedures from both "Cold and Dark" and "Fully started" states, and how to control the train.

This guide is written primarily for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrovagonmash_81-717/81-714 81-717]. Most controls and systems in the 81-717 are common across the whole 81 series.

If you are unfamiliar with the operation of metro/subway trains in general, particularly those in eastern Europe, it is recommended to read this page in its entirety. However, if you are wanting to get started quickly, you can skip to [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Starting_from_powered-up_state here].

__TOC__

=Control Panel=
The control panel is the main board of switches and levers which sits in the cabins at either end of the train. The control panel contains the controls for the train's systems.

{{Important|The physical appearance of the control panel may be slightly different between the variations of 81-717. They are all functionally identical; they display the same information and have the same controls in the same layout. All 81-717 trains will behave in the same way regardless of their appearance.}}

You can view the name of any component on the control panel by moving your cursor over it while sat in the driver's seat. The purpose of some components is easy to infer from their names.

The basic components of the control panel which are needed to drive the 81-717 are explained below:

==ARS and ALS==
[[file:ARS jpg.jpg|thumb|The ARS information panel in the 81-717 displaying the status ОЧ meaning that there is no ARS signal; here it is because the train is in the depot.]]
ARS and ALS are two very important systems present on the 81-717.

ARS, short for "Automatic Regulation (of) Speed", is a system that can intervene if the train is detected as overspeeding or passing a stop light. The ARS is responsible for preventing derailments and collisions.

ALS, short for "Automatic Locomotive Signalling", allows the train to communicate with the signal network. It can receive data on speed limits and the status of signals ahead. This information is displayed to the driver and is also fed to the ARS.

Together, ARS and ALS form the main safety systems on the 81-717. The relevant information regarding ARS/ALS is shown on the information display, which consists of a series of lights The most important ones are described below:
*If the ОЧ indicator is illuminated, there is no ARS signal and the train cannot provide automatic safety systems. In order to drive, the shunt mode should be activated and the [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Attention_Pedal attention pedal] should be held at all times. The speed limit will be 20kph.
*The horizontal band of numbers, from 0 to 80, shows the current speed limit. Should the train exceed this limit, the train will automatically apply the brakes. If two lights are illuminated simultaneously, then the speed limit will decrease from the larger number to the smaller number soon and braking circuits should be assembled.
*The ЛКВД light will be illuminated if control is taken away from the driver by ARS/ALS, such as when overspeeding or passing a red light.
*The ЛСД lights will not be illuminated if the doors are opened. Driving with the doors open is not allowed; you should make sure the ЛСД lights are lit before assembling any power circuits.
*The РП and ЛСН lights will illuminate red if the power circuits cannot be assembled. This generally means that assembly of the power circuits has been disallowed for safety reasons.
*The train's current speed in kilometres per hour is shown in large digits (although this is sometimes a dial)

==KV==
[[file:KV.jpg|thumb|The KV in the 81-717 consists of a long lever with a white/grey/brown handle on the driver's left-hand side.]]
The KV, referred to in English as the Master Controller, is the main lever which you use to accelerate and decelerate the train. By pushing it forwards and backwards, you assemble different circuits which cause the traction motors to perform various degrees of acceleration and braking.

* Pushing the lever forwards by pressing W will engage the "X" power circuits (X is short for ход meaning movement). Each step forwards will assemble the circuits X1, X2 and X3, where the higher number denotes a more powerful acceleration. The power circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 1 through 3.
* Pulling the lever backwards by pressing S will engage the "T" braking circuits (T is short for тормоз meaning brakes). Each step backwards will assemble the circuits T1, T1A and T2, where the higher number denotes more powerful braking. The braking circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 5 through 7.
* Moving the lever to the central "neutral" position by pressing the number key 4 will disassemble all circuits. If the train is moving, it will continue to roll under its own momentum, but will make no effort to speed up nor slow down.
All together, the KV has 7 positions to assemble 6 different circuits: T2, T1A, T1, neutral, X1, X2 and X3.

When moving the KV and assembling different circuits, there is a small delay between when the KV arrives at a circuit's position and when the circuit finishes assembling. It is important to accommodate for this delay and plan your actions ahead.

==Driver's Valve==
[[file:Drivers valves.jpg|thumb|Driver's valve (red); Driver's valve disconnect (blue); ARS EP valve (green); UAVA (yellow)]]
The Driver's Valve controls the pneumatic brakes on the 81-717. It must be connected by pulling the blue lever beneath the large red handle to the upward position, either by physically clicking on it or by pressing left-shift and L simultaneously. Once it is connected, the lever can be moved forwards and backwards using the R and F keys.

Moving the driver's valve handle will change the amount of pressure stored in the brake line. When the handle is pulled using the F key, pressure will be moved from the brake line to the brakes. Lower pressure in the brake line means the brakes are being applied harder.
* When the driver's valve handle is pushed all the way forwards with the R key, the pneumatic brake is released and the brake line is pressurised to 5.0 atmospheres.
*Each notch the lever is pulled using the F key, the pressure in the brake line will be reduced over 4 steps down to 3 atmospheres, the maximum normal brake effort.
*If the lever is pulled further, all of the pressure in the brake line will be released and the brakes will be fully applied. This is known as the "emergency application" and, as the name suggests, should only be done in an emergency as the braking force is very strong and may cause passenger discomfort.

Braking using the driver's valve is not always necessary.

==Attention Pedal==
[[file:Attention pedal.jpg|thumb|The attention pedal in an 81-717 consists of a small foot pedal to the left.]]
The attention pedal is a foot pedal to the left-hand side of the driver's seat. When moving the train in circumstances where ARS/ALS is not available, such as at the depot or in emergencies, the attention pedal must be pressed at all times. This is so that, if the driver is incapacitated for any reason, the pedal will be released by the unconscious or absent driver and the brakes will be applied. That way, the absence of ARS/ALS does not pose a safety risk.

The attention pedal is pressed by holding the space bar.

==Other switches==
[[file:Controlpanel.jpg|thumb|The control panel in an 81-717 is front and centre before the driver's seat.]]
The central portion of the control panel in the 81-717 contains various buttons and switches for controlling systems such as doors and lighting. You can see the purpose of each control by hovering over it with the cursor. Most important controls here have hotkeys:
*'''G''': Presses "ВОСВРАТ РП" (reset RP) to reset the overload relay and enable the brake valve
*'''A''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ЛЕВЫЕ" (left) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ЛЕВЫЕ" (left doors) button to open the doors on the left-hand side of the train.
*'''D''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ПРАВЫЕ" (right) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ПРАВЫЕ" (right doors) button to open the doors on the right-hand side of the train.
*'''V''': Toggles the "ЗАКРЫТИЕ ДВЕРЕЙ" switch which, when in the downward position, will close any open doors.
*'''L''': Blows the horn

=Starting the train=

=Driving the train=
When driving the train, you must obey all [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Signalling signals and signs] that you see. Most importantly, you should never pass any red or flashing red signals.

You should pay attention to the purposes of the different circuits you use when driving:
*X1, the first notch forwards on the master controller, is used for shunting and depot movements. It is the slowest power circuit.
*X2 and X3, the second and third notches forwards on the master controller, are used for transit between stations (normal driving)
*T1, the first notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force to 30kph where it will continue to decelerate with light braking force.
*T1A, the second notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force at all speeds.
*T2, the third notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with maximum braking force.

[[file:Station marker.jpg|thumb|Aim to stop at the black and white marker. The number denotes the number of carriages which will fit along the platform should the train stop at that marker; some platforms have multiple markers for different lengths of trains]]
When arriving at stations, you should assemble T1 as you approach then use T1A and T2 to stop at the black and white marker. Overshooting the end of the platform will cause delays and considerable inconvenience for the passengers, so you should approach stations carefully. This is especially important at stations with platform screen doors.

Destersmek: /* Driving the train */ mentioning ALS 2/6

This page will introduce the basic concepts which you will need to be familiar with to pilot trains in Metrostroi. It will explain the basic mechanics and safety systems at play, as well as start-up procedures from both "Cold and Dark" and "Fully started" states, and how to control the train.

This guide is written primarily for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrovagonmash_81-717/81-714 81-717]. Most controls and systems in the 81-717 are common across the whole 81 series.

If you are unfamiliar with the operation of metro/subway trains in general, particularly those in eastern Europe, it is recommended to read this page in its entirety. However, if you are wanting to get started quickly, you can skip to [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Starting_from_powered-up_state here].

__TOC__

=Control Panel=
The control panel is the main board of switches and levers which sits in the cabins at either end of the train. The control panel contains the controls for the train's systems.

{{Important|The physical appearance of the control panel may be slightly different between the variations of 81-717. They are all functionally identical; they display the same information and have the same controls in the same layout. All 81-717 trains will behave in the same way regardless of their appearance.}}

You can view the name of any component on the control panel by moving your cursor over it while sat in the driver's seat. The purpose of some components is easy to infer from their names.

The basic components of the control panel which are needed to drive the 81-717 are explained below:

==ARS and ALS==
[[file:ARS jpg.jpg|thumb|The ARS information panel in the 81-717 displaying the status ОЧ meaning that there is no ARS signal; here it is because the train is in the depot.]]
ARS and ALS are two very important systems present on the 81-717.

ARS, short for "Automatic Regulation (of) Speed", is a system that can intervene if the train is detected as overspeeding or passing a stop light. The ARS is responsible for preventing derailments and collisions.

ALS, short for "Automatic Locomotive Signalling", allows the train to communicate with the signal network. It can receive data on speed limits and the status of signals ahead. This information is displayed to the driver and is also fed to the ARS.

Together, ARS and ALS form the main safety systems on the 81-717. The relevant information regarding ARS/ALS is shown on the information display, which consists of a series of lights The most important ones are described below:
*If the ОЧ indicator is illuminated, there is no ARS signal and the train cannot provide automatic safety systems. In order to drive, the shunt mode should be activated and the [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Attention_Pedal attention pedal] should be held at all times. The speed limit will be 20kph.
*The horizontal band of numbers, from 0 to 80, shows the current speed limit. Should the train exceed this limit, the train will automatically apply the brakes. If two lights are illuminated simultaneously, then the speed limit will decrease from the larger number to the smaller number soon and braking circuits should be assembled.
*The ЛКВД light will be illuminated if control is taken away from the driver by ARS/ALS, such as when overspeeding or passing a red light.
*The ЛСД lights will not be illuminated if the doors are opened. Driving with the doors open is not allowed; you should make sure the ЛСД lights are lit before assembling any power circuits.
*The РП and ЛСН lights will illuminate red if the power circuits cannot be assembled. This generally means that assembly of the power circuits has been disallowed for safety reasons.
*The train's current speed in kilometres per hour is shown in large digits (although this is sometimes a dial)

==KV==
[[file:KV.jpg|thumb|The KV in the 81-717 consists of a long lever with a white/grey/brown handle on the driver's left-hand side.]]
The KV, referred to in English as the Master Controller, is the main lever which you use to accelerate and decelerate the train. By pushing it forwards and backwards, you assemble different circuits which cause the traction motors to perform various degrees of acceleration and braking.

* Pushing the lever forwards by pressing W will engage the "X" power circuits (X is short for ход meaning movement). Each step forwards will assemble the circuits X1, X2 and X3, where the higher number denotes a more powerful acceleration. The power circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 1 through 3.
* Pulling the lever backwards by pressing S will engage the "T" braking circuits (T is short for тормоз meaning brakes). Each step backwards will assemble the circuits T1, T1A and T2, where the higher number denotes more powerful braking. The braking circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 5 through 7.
* Moving the lever to the central "neutral" position by pressing the number key 4 will disassemble all circuits. If the train is moving, it will continue to roll under its own momentum, but will make no effort to speed up nor slow down.
All together, the KV has 7 positions to assemble 6 different circuits: T2, T1A, T1, neutral, X1, X2 and X3.

When moving the KV and assembling different circuits, there is a small delay between when the KV arrives at a circuit's position and when the circuit finishes assembling. It is important to accommodate for this delay and plan your actions ahead.

==Driver's Valve==
[[file:Drivers valves.jpg|thumb|Driver's valve (red); Driver's valve disconnect (blue); ARS EP valve (green); UAVA (yellow)]]
The Driver's Valve controls the pneumatic brakes on the 81-717. It must be connected by pulling the blue lever beneath the large red handle to the upward position, either by physically clicking on it or by pressing left-shift and L simultaneously. Once it is connected, the lever can be moved forwards and backwards using the R and F keys.

Moving the driver's valve handle will change the amount of pressure stored in the brake line. When the handle is pulled using the F key, pressure will be moved from the brake line to the brakes. Lower pressure in the brake line means the brakes are being applied harder.
* When the driver's valve handle is pushed all the way forwards with the R key, the pneumatic brake is released and the brake line is pressurised to 5.0 atmospheres.
*Each notch the lever is pulled using the F key, the pressure in the brake line will be reduced over 4 steps down to 3 atmospheres, the maximum normal brake effort.
*If the lever is pulled further, all of the pressure in the brake line will be released and the brakes will be fully applied. This is known as the "emergency application" and, as the name suggests, should only be done in an emergency as the braking force is very strong and may cause passenger discomfort.

Braking using the driver's valve is not always necessary.

==Attention Pedal==
[[file:Attention pedal.jpg|thumb|The attention pedal in an 81-717 consists of a small foot pedal to the left.]]
The attention pedal is a foot pedal to the left-hand side of the driver's seat. When moving the train in circumstances where ARS/ALS is not available, such as at the depot or in emergencies, the attention pedal must be pressed at all times. This is so that, if the driver is incapacitated for any reason, the pedal will be released by the unconscious or absent driver and the brakes will be applied. That way, the absence of ARS/ALS does not pose a safety risk.

The attention pedal is pressed by holding the space bar.

==Other switches==
[[file:Controlpanel.jpg|thumb|The control panel in an 81-717 is front and centre before the driver's seat.]]
The central portion of the control panel in the 81-717 contains various buttons and switches for controlling systems such as doors and lighting. You can see the purpose of each control by hovering over it with the cursor. Most important controls here have hotkeys:
*'''G''': Presses "ВОСВРАТ РП" (reset RP) to reset the overload relay and enable the brake valve
*'''A''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ЛЕВЫЕ" (left) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ЛЕВЫЕ" (left doors) button to open the doors on the left-hand side of the train.
*'''D''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ПРАВЫЕ" (right) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ПРАВЫЕ" (right doors) button to open the doors on the right-hand side of the train.
*'''V''': Toggles the "ЗАКРЫТИЕ ДВЕРЕЙ" switch which, when in the downward position, will close any open doors.
*'''L''': Blows the horn

[[file:20210325164328 1.jpg|thumb|The switchboard in an 81-717 cab is located on the back wall to the right-hand side of the driver's seat, or the left-hand side of the wall when looking at the train from the front.]]
*Go to the switchboard in both cabins and turn on switches A49, A53 and AP-63
*Turn on the battery power in both cabins, the battery controls are below the switchboard
*Walking along the exterior on each side of the train, pull up every "main switch" you find (possibly unnecessary)
*Go in the rear cabin and enable the ALS, Cabin lighting, Passenger Compartment lighting and the headlights, Open the EPK valve.
[[file:20210325164945 1.jpg|thumb|The battery switch in an 81-717 wagon]]
*Turn on the battery power in the intermediate wagons using the switches located under the power gauges above the door at the end of the wagon. Do so by pressing E on the door, looking to the keyhole in the ceiling and clicking on it
*Sit in the front driver's seat and insert the reverser key by pressing SHIFT+0, then set it to the forwards position by pressing 0. Test the doors with A and D, then close them with V. (press CTRL to toggle external view and move the mouse to switch sides)
*Enable ARS and ALS, open the driver's valve disconnect (shift + L) and the EPK, hold the attention pedal with the space bar
*Enable the Low Frequency Amplifier Switch, the sound in cabin switch and the Announcer
*Enable the Lighting, Cabin lighting, Passenger Compartment Lighting and headlights, including the dim/bright ones
*Customize the radio announcer (this depends on the server/map you are in and is not completely necessary)
*Go to the front of the train and set the destination board and line numbers
*If you're at the depot, connect the power cable on the right-hand side of the train to the third rail pickup on either bogey of the second wagon, then turn on the depot power for your line using the lever by the door
*Return to the driver's seat and hold the attention pedal to stop the ARS/ALS warning siren if it is sounding
*Ask the dispatcher to allow your departure. If there is no dispatcher online, you can allow your own departure by looking under the signals and using the !sopen command.
*Proceed to drive. If you are at the depot, assemble X1 until the front of the train is over the third rail. Then stop the train, turn off the power cable and disconnect it from the bogey before continuing to drive.

==Starting from powered-up state==
*Sit in the front driver's seat and insert the reverser key by pressing SHIFT+0, then set it to the forwards position by pressing 0. Test the doors with A and D, then close them with V. (press CTRL to toggle external view and move the mouse to switch sides)
*Connect the drivers valve by pressing shift + L

*Customize the radio announcer (this depends on the server/map you are in and is not completely necessary)
*Go to the front of the train and set the destination board and line numbers
*If you're at the depot, connect the power cable on the right-hand side of the train to the third rail pickup on either bogey of the second wagon, then turn on the depot power for your line using the lever by the door
*Return to the driver's seat and hold the attention pedal to stop the ARS/ALS warning siren if it is sounding
*Reset the AP/BV by pressing G
*Ask the dispatcher to allow your departure. If there is no dispatcher online, you can allow your own departure by looking under the signals and using the !sopen command.
*Proceed to drive

=Driving the train=
When driving the train, you must obey all [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Signalling signals and signs] that you see. Most importantly, you should never pass any red or flashing red signals.

You should pay attention to the purposes of the different circuits you use when driving:
*X1, the first notch forwards on the master controller, is used for shunting and depot movements. It is the slowest power circuit.
*X2 and X3, the second and third notches forwards on the master controller, are used for transit between stations (normal driving)
*T1, the first notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force to 30kph where it will continue to decelerate with light braking force.
*T1A, the second notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force at all speeds.
*T2, the third notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with maximum braking force.

[[file:Station marker.jpg|thumb|Aim to stop at the black and white marker. The number denotes the number of carriages which will fit along the platform should the train stop at that marker; some platforms have multiple markers for different lengths of trains]]
When arriving at stations, you should assemble T1 as you approach then use T1A and T2 to stop at the black and white marker. Overshooting the end of the platform will cause delays and considerable inconvenience for the passengers, so you should approach stations carefully. This is especially important at stations with platform screen doors.

= Playing in Singleplayer =
It is highly recommended that you create a dedicated server on your local network even when just playing by yourself (it will be visible in the LAN tab in the Garrys mod server list). There is a separate guide for installing and configuring a dedicated server [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here]. 
== Legacy Content ==
For a dedicated server you '''DO NOT NEED''' to download the content from the Github repository anymore, it is highly recommended that you delete the Github Content if you still have it. If you did not know about the Metrostroi Github (you installed Metrostroi after the August 2, 2017 Update) then ignore about this paragraph. '''Old addons like the 81-717.6, Ema cargo or Drivable Trams - MUST BE unsubscribed from or deleted.'''
== Performance ==
To get the best possible performance make use that you are using the latest versions of Garry's Mod, Metrostroi and any Metrostroi maps.
In the "Advanced" section of you Garry's Mod video settings please also ensure the following:
* "'''Model detail'''" and "'''Texture detail'''" are set to "'''High'''" (Solves the problem of invisible doors, bodies and bogeys).
* "'''Antialiasing mode'''" is set to anything other than "'''None'''" (Solves the problem with the transparency of some elements including windows).
* "'''Shadow detail'''" is set to "'''High'''" (Solves the problem with lights from backlighting).

''Reducing the video settings in the game will not improve game performance, because of the Source Engine!!''

{{important|If 81-722 and ASNP displays don't work properly try to '''disable''' the Discord game overlay (if installed)}}

=About Metrostroi=
Metrostroi is a free modification (add-on) for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry%E2%80%99s_Mod Garry's Mod]. In Metrostroi, you can feel like a conductor in the cab of a real metro train with all of the main electric, pneumatic and physical systems of the train accurately modelled and simulated. Every component of every train has true-to-life physical properties and the trains and maps have realistic sound effects.

The 2018 version includes the following trains:
* 81-702 ("D" type)
* E, Ezh, Ezh1
* 81-717/714 (Moscow and SPB types)
* Ezh3, Em508T
* Ema502, Em501 (From KVL and NVL)
* 81-718/719 (TISU from Kharkiv)
* 81-720/721 "Yauza" (DC from 1997)
* 81-722/723/724 "Yubileyniy"

Metrostroi is a prototype for [https://subtrans.it/ Subtransit].

__TOC__

=Installation=
Metrostroi is an addon for Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is available on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/ Steam] for $10/£7, although it is frequently reduced in Steam sales.

Once you have purchased and installed Garry's Mod through Steam (or if you have already done so previously) you must then subscribe to the Metrostroi addons in the Steam Workshop. They will then be installed, at which point you must open the game and let them be unpacked and mounted. Follow these instructions precisely:

# Subscribe to all addons listed in [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1098503782 this collection] by clicking the "Subscribe to all" button above the list.
# Wait for the "Garry's Mod - Workshop Content" item in your downloads queue to complete.
# Launch Garry's Mod and wait for the addons to unpack and mount. The process is complete when the loading box at the bottom of the screen disappears.

'''Note:''' The first time launching Garry's Mod after downloading large addons such as Metrostroi may take a while. Please be patient, even if the game appears to have crashed!

{{Important|In the "Advanced" section of the Video settings in Garry's Mod, '''"Model detail", "Shadow Detail" and "Texture detail" must be set to "High"''' or the trains and levels may not display correctly. Additionally, '''"Anti-aliasing" must be set to at least 2x MSAA''' to prevent visual bugs with transparency in glass panels, headlights etc. '''Reducing graphics settings has very little effect on Metrostroi performance in Garry's Mod due to the age of the Source engine.'''}}
{{Important|If you are experiencing missing models/materials (pink and black chequered tiles and flashing red "ERROR"s) and/or strange bugs or errors, you can force Steam/Garry's Mod to reinstall Metrostroi. Right click on Garry's Mod in your library, go to Properties, then the Local Files tab and click Browse. Open the "garrysmod" folder and delete all files and folders related to Metrostroi in the "addons" and "data" folders. Please note that some maps may have missing models/materials if they are in development or unfinished, and that reinstalling Metrostroi will not fix these.}}
{{Important|'''These addons are incompatible with the current version of Metrostroi:''' 81-717.6, Ema cargo, Drivable Trams. '''They MUST be deleted & unsubscribed from or disabled in the Addons menu in Garry's Mod, or Metrostroi will encounter unexpected errors and problems!'''}}
{{Important|As of the 2nd of August 2017 you '''NO LONGER NEED''' the downloaded content from the Github. It is '''highly recommended to delete this content if you still have it.''' If you did not know about the Metrostroi Github content then you can safely ignore this warning.}}

=Singleplayer Game=
Due to limitations in the Source engine, playing Metrostroi in the normal singleplayer mode provided in Garry's Mod is not recommended as performance will be extremely poor, with single-digit frames per second. Additionally, no amount of lowering graphics settings will help performance, as these performance problems are CPU related (more specifically, Garry's Mod can only use very few CPU threads, which is bad for intensive simulators). Instead, it is '''highly recommended to create a dedicated server''' in your local network. Instructions on how to set this up can be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

=Multiplayer game=
To play on public servers with other players, you can either host your own server or join an existing one.

To join an existing Metrostroi server, open Garry's Mod, click "Find Multiplayer game" and search by key map names such as those at the bottom of this page. The maps themselves are separate addons to Metrostroi; make sure you install the map on your end first, so that you can check the map's required addons and make sure they are installed, otherwise you may see missing textures (pink and black chequered tiles) and red flashing "ERROR"s. The required addons can often differ from Metrostroi defaults, Garrygrad content and vary from map to map as well as sometimes being completely unrelated to Metrostroi.

There are two types of servers: ranked and unranked. In ranked servers you need to pass exams to drive a train, which are not recommended for new players. Unranked servers are free-to-drive, where you can spawn and drive without any exams. A given server will generally indicate what type of game it hosts, but if it is not indicated it is usually unranked. Servers are hosted by the community so there is unfortunately not much consistency between them, their communities and the content available. Because of this, not much concrete guidance on multiplayer gameplay can be provided.

Instructions on how to set up your own server be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

==Driving Manuals==
PDF manuals for the Metrostroi trains are available [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5oqrYR283jWTFhkUkcwZnhWR1E?usp=sharing here]. Please note that these are currently only in Russian, but will hopefully be translated soon. A basic driving guide is available in English [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics here]. It focuses on the 81-717 although most of the basic principles apply to all of the trains.

==Maps==
You can find a list of officially recognised Metrostroi maps including Workshop links and supported features [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/List_of_maps here].

Other train maps (sometimes referred to as "trainbuild" maps) are available, although Metrostroi does not officially work with/support them, and there will be no simulated power supply, ARS, etc. For the best experience you should always seek dedicated Metrostroi maps.

Signalling

2021-03-25T21:51:57Z

Destersmek: /* Signals */

{{Langs
| lang = en
| title = Signalling
| en = Signalling
| fr = Signalisation
| kr = Signalling/kr
}}
In the metro, there are many signals and signs that you must recognise and obey for safe and efficient operation of the train. Failure to respect them could result in delays and inconvenience for the passengers and, at worst, a health and safety risk.

The [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#ARS_and_ALS ARS/ALS] systems will aim to prevent the most dire of scenarios such as collisions and derailments. Brakes will be applied if the train exceeds the speed limit, and emergency brake application will be forced on if the train passes a red signal.

{{Important|Disabling the relevant safety mechanisms is strictly forbidden and will result in unconditional termination of the driver's license on ranked servers.}}

=Signals=
Track signals are used to regulate train traffic and ensure safety of all trains, staff and passengers. Take time to memorise the signals and their meanings.
==Standard signals==

You will be shown a dialog box of options which will allow you to customise the type of train you want to spawn, and the individual options for that train (some trains have more options than others)

[[file:Train spawner.png]]

When spawning a custom-type train, such as the 81-717 Custom Head, you are afforded a far greater degree of scrutiny over the train's cosmetics and features.

[[file:Train spawner 2.png]]

Set whatever settings you are presented with in accordance with your preferences, then click the spawn button.

You will now be given a toolgun that projects a preview of how the train will spawn. Point the toolgun at the tracks so that the train snaps into position, making sure to accommodate the other train cars that will spawn behind it.

Once it is in position, left click to spawn the train.

=Manually spawning trains=
To manually spawn in a train, select the train cars from the "Metrostroi (trains)" category in the Entities tab. The trains will be dropped into the world in front of you in a cold-and-dark state.

Destersmek: /* Configuration */ added convars

{{Langs
| lang = en
| title =
| ru = Настройка_сервера
| en = Server configuration
}}
For the best Metrostroi experience you should set up a dedicated server using Source Dedicated Server (srcds). This page contains instructions on how to set up a server, populate it with Metrostroi content and play on it.

{{Important|The machine on which you intend to run this server should be running Windows or a Windows virtual machine. This is because it is highly recommended to install Turbostroi, a Windows-only binary that allows far greater performance. Servers hosted on other operating systems will perform poorly without Turbostroi.}}

=Setting up a basic server =
Follow [https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server this guide] to install a basic Garry's Mod server. This server will have no extra content other than the base game. There are lots of high-quality server setup and maintenance guides available on Google/Bing/Yandex/etc.
{{Important|You must set the server tickrate to 33 or Metrostroi may be unstable. Add this to the server launch command-line: <pre>-tickrate 33</pre>}}

=Installing Metrostroi=
The easiest way to install addons on a dedicated sever is to connect the server to a Steam Workshop collection.

If you will only be playing Metrostroi on this server, the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660685783 default Metrostroi collection] (ID 1660685783) will be adequate.

Alternatively, you can add more content, even content not related to Metrostroi, by making your own collection. You can can do this [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/editcollection/?appid=4000 here]. (Make sure you are signed in to Steam on your browser before clicking this link or it will redirect you somewhere else) This collection should contain at an absolute minimum:
* [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=261801217 Metrostroi (Subway Simulator)]
* Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Content Packs:
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095094174 Part 1]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095098251 Part 2]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095100683 Part 3]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095105863 Part 4]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095109617 Part 5]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095111608 Part 6]
* [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095130789 Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Scripts]
* Any of the Metrostroi maps from [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Installing#Maps here] or [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&searchtext=Metrostroi&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=items&requiredtags%5B%5D=Map here].

You must then append the server startup command-line with the following:
<pre>+host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID</pre>
{{Important|'''Replace WORKSHOPID with either 1660685783 (the default collection) or your own collection ID.''' A collection's ID is found at the end of the collection's URL.}}

==Configuration==
A list of available convars is available [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Console_Commands#Server-side_Commands here].

As a server administrator you can enable the use of Metrostroi trains on non-Metrostroi maps by unchecking the box "Require third rail" in the spawn menu (hold Q) under Utilities, Metrostroi, Admin. Many trains will still expect an ARS signal and may not work well without it.

The [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838480881 Metrostroi Advanced] addon provides additional facilities for server administrators, as well as quality-of-life enhancements for players such as station teleports and an automatic train re-railer. It requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id ULX], which in turn requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=557962238 ULib].

=Installing Turbostroi=
Turbostroi speeds up the Metrostroi simulations by allowing the simulations to use multiple CPU threads, improving performance. A dedicated server with Turbostroi installed is often over 5x as fast as playing Metrostroi in the built-in Singleplayer mode in Garry's Mod.

{{Important|'''Turbostroi is only compatible with the Windows version of the Garry's Mod server. It is not compatible with Garry's Mod servers on other operating systems or the game itself.'''}}

Download the Turbostroi binary from [https://metrostroi.net/turbostroi here] and place it into the "/garrysmod/lua/bin/" folder in your server. Create the "bin" folder if it isn't already present.

{{Important|Because it is a DLL file, some web browsers may mark the Turbostroi file as harmful. This is a false positive and can be safely ignored. VirusTotal results for Turbostroi can be viewed [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fca58b3700d2753db783bb1d9cdec399ce5e3a8cb92eae6f47555093954982f0/detection here].}}

==Configuration==
'''It is recommended to disable hyper-threading if possible.'''

You can set what threads Turbostroi should use to get even better perfomance:

This command sets the SRCDS main thread to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
<pre>turbostroi_main_cores x</pre>

This command sets the Metrostroi train threads to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
<pre>turbostroi_train_cores x</pre>

For example, on a 4-core system you should set turbostroi_main_cores and turbostroi_train_cores to 8 and 7 respectively, or 128 and 127 respectively with hyperthreading enabled. This setup will run the main SRCDS thread on the last CPU thread, leaving the rest for Metrostroi.

=Connecting to the server=
The method for connecting to the Metrostroi server varies depending on your circumstances.

==Localhost LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on the same computer you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, you can run this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect localhost</pre>

==LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on a different computer to the one you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, if you know the other computer's local IP address (normally starting with 192) you can connect to it by running this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre> (where IPADDRESS is replaced with the other computer's local IP)

You can find a computer's local IP address by running the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ipconfig ipconfig] command in Command Prompt on Windows.

==WAN==
If you are hosting the server on a computer on a different network to the computer on which you will be playing, or you wish to make your server open for multiplayer, you will need to forward ports 27005 and 27015 on the router for both TCP and UDP. The exact process for this varies between routers; [https://portforward.com/ portforward.com] hosts comprehensive guides for thousands of routers.

Once you have forwarded ports 27005 and 27015, you can connect to the server with its public IP address. You can find its public IP by opening [https://www.whatismyip.com/ this link] on the server computer. Run this command in the Garry's Mod developer console to connect:
<pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre>
(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the server's public IP). The server should also automatically appear in the server browser.

You can password protect your server to prevent strangers from joining by adding the following to the /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file in the server: <pre>sv_password "PASSWORD"</pre> where PASSWORD is replaced with a password of your choice.

In the metro, there are many signals and signs that you must recognise and obey for safe and efficient operation of the train. Failure to respect them could result in delays and inconvenience for the passengers and, at worst, a health and safety risk.

The [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#ARS_and_ALS ARS/ALS] systems will aim to prevent the most dire of scenarios such as collisions and derailments. Brakes will be applied if the train exceeds the speed limit, and emergency brake application will be forced on if the train passes a red signal.

{{Important|Disabling the relevant safety mechanisms is strictly forbidden and will result in unconditional termination of the driver's license on ranked servers.}}

=Signals=
Track signals are used to regulate train traffic and ensure safety of all trains, staff and passengers. Take time to memorise the signals and their meanings.
==Standard signals==

|-
| '''One flashing red light, "DOP" ("ДОП")''': "ДОП" (добавочный опасность/dobavochnyy opasnost) means "additional danger". This indicates that there is a temporary change to the track configuration which should be treated as a dead end. For example, if a track switch is in the wrong position as you approach a merging junction, as it would derail the train when passing over it.

}}
In the metro, there are many signals and signs that you must recognise and obey for safe and efficient operation of the train. Failure to respect them could result in delays and inconvenience for the passengers and, at worst, a health and safety risk.

The [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#ARS_and_ALS ARS/ALS] systems will aim to prevent the most dire of scenarios such as collisions and derailments. Brakes will be applied if the train exceeds the speed limit, and emergency brake application will be forced on if the train passes a red signal.

{{Important|Disabling the relevant safety mechanisms is strictly forbidden and will result in unconditional termination of the driver's license on ranked servers.}}

=Signals=
Track signals are used to regulate train traffic and ensure safety of all trains, staff and passengers. Take time to memorise the signals and their meanings.

Train basics

2021-03-25T18:02:30Z

Destersmek: fixing links

This page will introduce the basic concepts which you will need to be familiar with to pilot trains in Metrostroi. It will explain the basic mechanics and safety systems at play, as well as start-up procedures from both "Cold and Dark" and "Fully started" states, and how to control the train.

This guide is written primarily for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrovagonmash_81-717/81-714 81-717]. Most controls and systems in the 81-717 are common across the whole 81 series.

If you are unfamiliar with the operation of metro/subway trains in general, particularly those in eastern Europe, it is recommended to read this page in its entirety. However, if you are wanting to get started quickly, you can skip to [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Starting_from_powered-up_state here].

__TOC__

=Control Panel=
The control panel is the main board of switches and levers which sits in the cabins at either end of the train. The control panel contains the controls for the train's systems.

{{Important|The physical appearance of the control panel may be slightly different between the variations of 81-717. They are all functionally identical; they display the same information and have the same controls in the same layout. All 81-717 trains will behave in the same way regardless of their appearance.}}

You can view the name of any component on the control panel by moving your cursor over it while sat in the driver's seat. The purpose of some components is easy to infer from their names.

The basic components of the control panel which are needed to drive the 81-717 are explained below:

==ARS and ALS==
[[file:ARS jpg.jpg|thumb|The ARS information panel in the 81-717 displaying the status ОЧ meaning that there is no ARS signal; here it is because the train is in the depot.]]
ARS and ALS are two very important systems present on the 81-717.

ARS, short for "Automatic Regulation (of) Speed", is a system that can intervene if the train is detected as overspeeding or passing a stop light. The ARS is responsible for preventing derailments and collisions.

ALS, short for "Automatic Locomotive Signalling", allows the train to communicate with the signal network. It can receive data on speed limits and the status of signals ahead. This information is displayed to the driver and is also fed to the ARS.

Together, ARS and ALS form the main safety systems on the 81-717. The relevant information regarding ARS/ALS is shown on the information display, which consists of a series of lights The most important ones are described below:
*If the ОЧ indicator is illuminated, there is no ARS signal and the train cannot provide automatic safety systems. In order to drive, the shunt mode should be activated and the [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_basics#Attention_Pedal attention pedal] should be held at all times. The speed limit will be 20kph.
*The horizontal band of numbers, from 0 to 80, shows the current speed limit. Should the train exceed this limit, the train will automatically apply the brakes. If two lights are illuminated simultaneously, then the speed limit will decrease from the larger number to the smaller number soon and braking circuits should be assembled.
*The ЛКВД light will be illuminated if control is taken away from the driver by ARS/ALS, such as when overspeeding or passing a red light.
*The ЛСД lights will not be illuminated if the doors are opened. Driving with the doors open is not allowed; you should make sure the ЛСД lights are lit before assembling any power circuits.
*The РП and ЛСН lights will illuminate red if the power circuits cannot be assembled. This generally means that assembly of the power circuits has been disallowed for safety reasons.
*The train's current speed in kilometres per hour is shown in large digits (although this is sometimes a dial)

==KV==
[[file:KV.jpg|thumb|The KV in the 81-717 consists of a long lever with a white/grey/brown handle on the driver's left-hand side.]]
The KV, referred to in English as the Master Controller, is the main lever which you use to accelerate and decelerate the train. By pushing it forwards and backwards, you assemble different circuits which cause the traction motors to perform various degrees of acceleration and braking.

* Pushing the lever forwards by pressing W will engage the "X" power circuits (X is short for ход meaning movement). Each step forwards will assemble the circuits X1, X2 and X3, where the higher number denotes a more powerful acceleration. The power circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 1 through 3.
* Pulling the lever backwards by pressing S will engage the "T" braking circuits (T is short for тормоз meaning brakes). Each step backwards will assemble the circuits T1, T1A and T2, where the higher number denotes more powerful braking. The braking circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 5 through 7.
* Moving the lever to the central "neutral" position by pressing the number key 4 will disassemble all circuits. If the train is moving, it will continue to roll under its own momentum, but will make no effort to speed up nor slow down.
All together, the KV has 7 positions to assemble 6 different circuits: T2, T1A, T1, neutral, X1, X2 and X3.

When moving the KV and assembling different circuits, there is a small delay between when the KV arrives at a circuit's position and when the circuit finishes assembling. It is important to accommodate for this delay and plan your actions ahead.

==Driver's Valve==
[[file:Drivers valves.jpg|thumb|Driver's valve (red); Driver's valve disconnect (blue); ARS EP valve (green); UAVA (yellow)]]
The Driver's Valve controls the pneumatic brakes on the 81-717. It must be connected by pulling the blue lever beneath the large red handle to the upward position, either by physically clicking on it or by pressing left-shift and L simultaneously. Once it is connected, the lever can be moved forwards and backwards using the R and F keys.

Moving the driver's valve handle will change the amount of pressure stored in the brake line. When the handle is pulled using the F key, pressure will be moved from the brake line to the brakes. Lower pressure in the brake line means the brakes are being applied harder.
* When the driver's valve handle is pushed all the way forwards with the R key, the pneumatic brake is released and the brake line is pressurised to 5.0 atmospheres.
*Each notch the lever is pulled using the F key, the pressure in the brake line will be reduced over 4 steps down to 3 atmospheres, the maximum normal brake effort.
*If the lever is pulled further, all of the pressure in the brake line will be released and the brakes will be fully applied. This is known as the "emergency application" and, as the name suggests, should only be done in an emergency as the braking force is very strong and may cause passenger discomfort.

Braking using the driver's valve is not always necessary.

==Attention Pedal==
[[file:Attention pedal.jpg|thumb|The attention pedal in an 81-717 consists of a small foot pedal to the left.]]
The attention pedal is a foot pedal to the left-hand side of the driver's seat. When moving the train in circumstances where ARS/ALS is not available, such as at the depot or in emergencies, the attention pedal must be pressed at all times. This is so that, if the driver is incapacitated for any reason, the pedal will be released by the unconscious or absent driver and the brakes will be applied. That way, the absence of ARS/ALS does not pose a safety risk.

The attention pedal is pressed by holding the space bar.

==Other switches==
[[file:Controlpanel.jpg|thumb|The control panel in an 81-717 is front and centre before the driver's seat.]]
The central portion of the control panel in the 81-717 contains various buttons and switches for controlling systems such as doors and lighting. You can see the purpose of each control by hovering over it with the cursor. Most important controls here have hotkeys:
*'''G''': Presses "ВОСВРАТ РП" (reset RP) to reset the overload relay and enable the brake valve
*'''A''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ЛЕВЫЕ" (left) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ЛЕВЫЕ" (left doors) button to open the doors on the left-hand side of the train.
*'''D''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ПРАВЫЕ" (right) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ПРАВЫЕ" (right doors) button to open the doors on the right-hand side of the train.
*'''V''': Toggles the "ЗАКРЫТИЕ ДВЕРЕЙ" switch which, when in the downward position, will close any open doors.
*'''L''': Blows the horn

=Starting the train=
Because of the depth of the accuracy of Metrostroi's simulation of trains, the 81-717 can be started either from cold or from a powered-on standstill, depending on the user's preferences. The user can choose if they would like the train to be started from cold or from a powered state when [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_spawning spawning it in].

{{Important|Take care of where you spawn your train. If you are playing alone you might find it more convenient to spawn it at a station. However, when playing multiplayer, you should always spawn at the depot and co-operate with the dispatcher.}}

==Starting from cold==

When driving the train, you must obey all [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Signalling signals and signs] that you see. Most importantly, you should never pass any red or flashing red signals.

You should pay attention to the purposes of the different circuits you use when driving:
*X1, the first notch forwards on the master controller, is used for shunting and depot movements. It is the slowest power circuit.
*X2 and X3, the second and third notches forwards on the master controller, are used for transit between stations (normal driving)
*T1, the first notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force to 30kph where it will continue to decelerate with light braking force.
*T1A, the second notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with medium braking force at all speeds.
*T2, the third notch backwards on the master controller, will decelerate the train with maximum braking force.

[[file:Station marker.jpg|thumb|Aim to stop at the black and white marker. The number denotes the number of carriages which will fit along the platform should the train stop at that marker; some platforms have multiple markers for different lengths of trains]]
When arriving at stations, you should assemble T1 as you approach then use T1A and T2 to stop at the black and white marker. Overshooting the end of the platform will cause delays and considerable inconvenience for the passengers, so you should approach stations carefully. This is especially important at stations with platform screen doors.

Train basics

Destersmek: overhaul

This page will introduce the basic concepts which you will need to be familiar with to pilot trains in Metrostroi. It will explain the basic mechanics and safety systems at play, as well as start-up procedures from both "Cold and Dark" and "Fully started" states, and how to control the train.

This guide is written primarily for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrovagonmash_81-717/81-714 81-717]. Most controls and systems in the 81-717 are common across the whole 81 series.

If you are unfamiliar with the operation of metro/subway trains in general, particularly those in eastern Europe, it is recommended to read this page in its entirety. However, if you are wanting to get started quickly, you can skip to [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/index.php?title=Train_basics&action=submit#Starting_from_powered-up_state here].

__TOC__

=Control Panel=
The control panel is the main board of switches and levers which sits in the cabins at either end of the train. The control panel contains the controls for the train's systems.

{{Important|The physical appearance of the control panel may be slightly different between the variations of 81-717. They are all functionally identical; they display the same information and have the same controls in the same layout. All 81-717 trains will behave in the same way regardless of their appearance.}}

You can view the name of any component on the control panel by moving your cursor over it while sat in the driver's seat. The purpose of some components is easy to infer from their names.

The basic components of the control panel which are needed to drive the 81-717 are explained below:

==ARS and ALS==
[[file:ARS jpg.jpg|thumb|The ARS information panel in the 81-717 displaying the status ОЧ meaning that there is no ARS signal; here it is because the train is in the depot.]]
ARS and ALS are two very important systems present on the 81-717.

ARS, short for "Automatic Regulation (of) Speed", is a system that can intervene if the train is detected as overspeeding or passing a stop light. The ARS is responsible for preventing derailments and collisions.

ALS, short for "Automatic Locomotive Signalling", allows the train to communicate with the signal network. It can receive data on speed limits and the status of signals ahead. This information is displayed to the driver and is also fed to the ARS.

Together, ARS and ALS form the main safety systems on the 81-717. The relevant information regarding ARS/ALS is shown on the information display, which consists of a series of lights The most important ones are described below:
*If the ОЧ indicator is illuminated, there is no ARS signal and the train cannot provide automatic safety systems. In order to drive, the shunt mode should be activated and the [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/index.php?title=Train_basics&action=submit#Attention_Pedal attention pedal] should be held at all times. The speed limit will be 20kph.
*The horizontal band of numbers, from 0 to 80, shows the current speed limit. Should the train exceed this limit, the train will automatically apply the brakes. If two lights are illuminated simultaneously, then the speed limit will decrease from the larger number to the smaller number soon and braking circuits should be assembled.
*The ЛКВД light will be illuminated if control is taken away from the driver by ARS/ALS, such as when overspeeding or passing a red light.
*The ЛСД lights will not be illuminated if the doors are opened. Driving with the doors open is not allowed; you should make sure the ЛСД lights are lit before assembling any power circuits.
*The РП and ЛСН lights will illuminate red if the power circuits cannot be assembled. This generally means that assembly of the power circuits has been disallowed for safety reasons.
*The train's current speed in kilometres per hour is shown in large digits (although this is sometimes a dial)

==KV==
[[file:KV.jpg|thumb|The KV in the 81-717 consists of a long lever with a white/grey/brown handle on the driver's left-hand side.]]
The KV, referred to in English as the Master Controller, is the main lever which you use to accelerate and decelerate the train. By pushing it forwards and backwards, you assemble different circuits which cause the traction motors to perform various degrees of acceleration and braking.

* Pushing the lever forwards by pressing W will engage the "X" power circuits (X is short for ход meaning movement). Each step forwards will assemble the circuits X1, X2 and X3, where the higher number denotes a more powerful acceleration. The power circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 1 through 3.
* Pulling the lever backwards by pressing S will engage the "T" braking circuits (T is short for тормоз meaning brakes). Each step backwards will assemble the circuits T1, T1A and T2, where the higher number denotes more powerful braking. The braking circuits can also be assembled using the number keys 5 through 7.
* Moving the lever to the central "neutral" position by pressing the number key 4 will disassemble all circuits. If the train is moving, it will continue to roll under its own momentum, but will make no effort to speed up nor slow down.
All together, the KV has 7 positions to assemble 6 different circuits: T2, T1A, T1, neutral, X1, X2 and X3.

When moving the KV and assembling different circuits, there is a small delay between when the KV arrives at a circuit's position and when the circuit finishes assembling. It is important to accommodate for this delay and plan your actions ahead.

==Driver's Valve==
[[file:Drivers valves.jpg|thumb|Driver's valve (red); Driver's valve disconnect (blue); ARS EP valve (green); UAVA (yellow)]]
The Driver's Valve controls the pneumatic brakes on the 81-717. It must be connected by pulling the blue lever beneath the large red handle to the upward position, either by physically clicking on it or by pressing left-shift and L simultaneously. Once it is connected, the lever can be moved forwards and backwards using the R and F keys.

Moving the driver's valve handle will change the amount of pressure stored in the brake line. When the handle is pulled using the F key, pressure will be moved from the brake line to the brakes. Lower pressure in the brake line means the brakes are being applied harder.
* When the driver's valve handle is pushed all the way forwards with the R key, the pneumatic brake is released and the brake line is pressurised to 5.0 atmospheres.
*Each notch the lever is pulled using the F key, the pressure in the brake line will be reduced over 4 steps down to 3 atmospheres, the maximum normal brake effort.
*If the lever is pulled further, all of the pressure in the brake line will be released and the brakes will be fully applied. This is known as the "emergency application" and, as the name suggests, should only be done in an emergency as the braking force is very strong and may cause passenger discomfort.

Braking using the driver's valve is not always necessary.

==Attention Pedal==
[[file:Attention pedal.jpg|thumb|The attention pedal in an 81-717 consists of a small foot pedal to the left.]]
The attention pedal is a foot pedal to the left-hand side of the driver's seat. When moving the train in circumstances where ARS/ALS is not available, such as at the depot or in emergencies, the attention pedal must be pressed at all times. This is so that, if the driver is incapacitated for any reason, the pedal will be released by the unconscious or absent driver and the brakes will be applied. That way, the absence of ARS/ALS does not pose a safety risk.

The attention pedal is pressed by holding the space bar.

==Other switches==
[[file:Controlpanel.jpg|thumb|The control panel in an 81-717 is front and centre before the driver's seat.]]
The central portion of the control panel in the 81-717 contains various buttons and switches for controlling systems such as doors and lighting. You can see the purpose of each control by hovering over it with the cursor. Most important controls here have hotkeys:
*'''G''': Presses "ВОСВРАТ РП" (reset RP) to reset the overload relay and enable the brake valve
*'''A''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ЛЕВЫЕ" (left) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ЛЕВЫЕ" (left doors) button to open the doors on the left-hand side of the train.
*'''D''': Sets the doors side selector switch to "ПРАВЫЕ" (right) and presses the "ДВЕРИ ПРАВЫЕ" (right doors) button to open the doors on the right-hand side of the train.
*'''V''': Toggles the "ЗАКРЫТИЕ ДВЕРЕЙ" switch which, when in the downward position, will close any open doors.
*'''L''': Blows the horn

=Starting the train=
Because of the depth of the accuracy of Metrostroi's simulation of trains, the 81-717 can be started either from cold or from a powered-on standstill, depending on the user's preferences. The user can choose if they would like the train to be started from cold or from a powered state when [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Train_spawning spawning it in].

{{Important|Take care of where you spawn your train. If you are playing alone you might find it more convenient to spawn it at a station. However, when playing multiplayer, you should always spawn at the depot and co-operate with the dispatcher.}}

==Starting from cold==

*Customize the radio announcer (this depends on the server/map you are in and is not completely necessary)
*Go to the front of the train and set the destination board and line numbers
*If you're at the depot, connect the power cable on the right-hand side of the train to the third rail pickup on either bogey of the second wagon, then turn on the depot power for your line using the lever by the door
*Return to the driver's seat and hold the attention pedal to stop the ARS/ALS warning siren if it is sounding
*Ask the dispatcher to allow your departure. If there is no dispatcher online, you can allow your own departure by looking under the signals and using the !sopen command.
*Proceed to drive. If you are at the depot, assemble X1 until the front of the train is over the third rail. Then stop the train, turn off the power cable and disconnect it from the bogey before continuing to drive.

==Starting from powered-up state==
*Sit in the front driver's seat and insert the reverser key by pressing SHIFT+0, then set it to the forwards position by pressing 0. Test the doors with A and D, then close them with V. (press CTRL to toggle external view and move the mouse to switch sides)

Destersmek: overhaul

{{Langs

}}
For the best Metrostroi experience you should set up a dedicated server using Source Dedicated Server (srcds). This page contains instructions on how to set up a server, populate it with Metrostroi content and play on it.

{{Important|The machine on which you intend to run this server should be running Windows or a Windows virtual machine. This is because it is highly recommended to install Turbostroi, a Windows-only binary that allows far greater performance. Servers hosted on other operating systems will perform poorly without Turbostroi.}}

=Setting up a basic server =
Follow [https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server this guide] to install a basic Garry's Mod server. This server will have no extra content other than the base game. There are lots of high-quality server setup and maintenance guides available on Google/Bing/Yandex/etc.
{{Important|You must set the server tickrate to 33 or Metrostroi may be unstable. Add this to the server launch command-line: <pre>-tickrate 33</pre>}}

=Installing Metrostroi=
The easiest way to install addons on a dedicated sever is to connect the server to a Steam Workshop collection.

If you will only be playing Metrostroi on this server, the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660685783 default Metrostroi collection] (ID 1660685783) will be adequate.

Alternatively, you can add more content, even content not related to Metrostroi, by making your own collection. You can can do this [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/editcollection/?appid=4000 here]. (Make sure you are signed in to Steam on your browser before clicking this link or it will redirect you somewhere else) This collection should contain at an absolute minimum:
* [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=261801217 Metrostroi (Subway Simulator)]
* Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Content Packs:
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095094174 Part 1]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095098251 Part 2]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095100683 Part 3]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095105863 Part 4]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095109617 Part 5]
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095111608 Part 6]
* [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095130789 Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Scripts]
* Any of the Metrostroi maps from [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Installing#Maps here] or [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&searchtext=Metrostroi&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=items&requiredtags%5B%5D=Map here].

You must then append the server startup command-line with the following:
<pre>+host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID</pre>
{{Important|'''Replace WORKSHOPID with either 1660685783 (the default collection) or your own collection ID.''' A collection's ID is found at the end of the collection's URL.}}

==Configuration==
As a server administrator you can enable the use of Metrostroi trains on non-Metrostroi maps by unchecking the box "Require third rail" in the spawn menu (hold Q) under Utilities, Metrostroi, Admin. Many trains will still expect an ARS signal and may not work well without it.

The [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838480881 Metrostroi Advanced] addon provides additional facilities for server administrators, as well as quality-of-life enhancements for players such as station teleports and an automatic train re-railer. It requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id ULX], which in turn requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=557962238 ULib].

=Installing Turbostroi=
Turbostroi speeds up the Metrostroi simulations by allowing the simulations to use multiple CPU threads, improving performance. A dedicated server with Turbostroi installed is often over 5x as fast as playing Metrostroi in the built-in Singleplayer mode in Garry's Mod.

{{Important|'''Turbostroi is only compatible with the Windows version of the Garry's Mod server. It is not compatible with Garry's Mod servers on other operating systems or the game itself.'''}}

Download the Turbostroi binary from [https://metrostroi.net/turbostroi here] and place it into the "/garrysmod/lua/bin/" folder in your server. Create the "bin" folder if it isn't already present.

{{Important|Because it is a DLL file, some web browsers may mark the Turbostroi file as harmful. This is a false positive and can be safely ignored. VirusTotal results for Turbostroi can be viewed [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fca58b3700d2753db783bb1d9cdec399ce5e3a8cb92eae6f47555093954982f0/detection here].}}

==Configuration==
'''It is recommended to disable hyper-threading if possible.'''

You can set what threads Turbostroi should use to get even better perfomance:

<pre>turbostroi_main_cores x</pre>
This command sets the SRCDS main thread to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.

<pre>turbostroi_train_cores x</pre>
This command sets the Metrostroi train threads to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.

For example, on a 4-core system you should set turbostroi_main_cores and turbostroi_train_cores to 8 and 7 respectively, or 128 and 127 respectively with hyperthreading enabled. This setup will run the main SRCDS thread on the last CPU thread, leaving the rest for Metrostroi.

=Connecting to the server=
The method for connecting to the Metrostroi server varies depending on your circumstances.

==Localhost LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on the same computer you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, you can run this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect localhost</pre>

==LAN==
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on a different computer to the one you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, if you know the other computer's local IP address (normally starting with 192) you can connect to it by running this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre> (where IPADDRESS is replaced with the other computer's local IP)

You can find a computer's local IP address by running the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ipconfig ipconfig] command in Command Prompt on Windows.

==WAN==
If you are hosting the server on a computer on a different network to the computer on which you will be playing, or you wish to make your server open for multiplayer, you will need to forward ports 27005 and 27015 on the router for both TCP and UDP. The exact process for this varies between routers; [https://portforward.com/ portforward.com] hosts comprehensive guides for thousands of routers.

Once you have forwarded ports 27005 and 27015, you can connect to the server with its public IP address. You can find its public IP by opening [https://www.whatismyip.com/ this link] on the server computer. Run this command in the Garry's Mod developer console to connect:
<pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre>
(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the server's public IP). The server should also automatically appear in the server browser.

You can password protect your server to prevent strangers from joining by adding the following to the /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file in the server: <pre>sv_password "PASSWORD"</pre> where PASSWORD is replaced with a password of your choice.

=About Metrostroi=
Metrostroi is a free modification (add-on) for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry%E2%80%99s_Mod Garry's Mod]. In Metrostroi, you can feel like a conductor in the cab of a real metro train with all of the main electric, pneumatic and physical systems of the train accurately modelled and simulated. Every component of every train has true-to-life physical properties and the trains and maps have realistic sound effects.

The 2018 version includes the following trains:
* 81-702 ("D" type)
* E, Ezh, Ezh1
* 81-717/714 (Moscow and SPB types)
* Ezh3, Em508T
* Ema502, Em501 (From KVL and NVL)
* 81-718/719 (TISU from Kharkiv)
* 81-720/721 "Yauza" (DC from 1997)
* 81-722/723/724 "Yubileyniy"

Metrostroi is a prototype for [https://subtrans.it/ Subtransit].

__TOC__

=Installation=
Metrostroi is an addon for Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is available on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/ Steam] for $10/£7, although it is frequently reduced in Steam sales.

Once you have purchased and installed Garry's Mod through Steam (or if you have already done so previously) you must then subscribe to the Metrostroi addons in the Steam Workshop. They will then be installed, at which point you must open the game and let them be unpacked and mounted. Follow these instructions precisely:

# Subscribe to all addons listed in [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1098503782 this collection] by clicking the "Subscribe to all" button above the list.
# Wait for the "Garry's Mod - Workshop Content" item in your downloads queue to complete.
# Launch Garry's Mod and wait for the addons to unpack and mount. The process is complete when the loading box at the bottom of the screen disappears.

'''Note:''' The first time launching Garry's Mod after downloading large addons such as Metrostroi may take a while. Please be patient, even if the game appears to have crashed!

{{Important|In the "Advanced" section of the Video settings in Garry's Mod, '''"Model detail", "Shadow Detail" and "Texture detail" must be set to "High"''' or the trains and levels may not display correctly. Additionally, '''"Anti-aliasing" must be set to at least 2x MSAA''' to prevent visual bugs with transparency in glass panels, headlights etc. '''Reducing graphics settings has very little effect on Metrostroi performance in Garry's Mod due to the age of the Source engine.'''}}
{{Important|If you are experiencing missing models/materials (pink and black chequered tiles and flashing red "ERROR"s) and/or strange bugs or errors, you can force Steam/Garry's Mod to reinstall Metrostroi. Right click on Garry's Mod in your library, go to Properties, then the Local Files tab and click Browse. Open the "garrysmod" folder and delete all files and folders related to Metrostroi in the "addons" and "data" folders. Please note that some maps may have missing models/materials if they are in development or unfinished, and that reinstalling Metrostroi will not fix these.}}
{{Important|'''These addons are incompatible with the current version of Metrostroi:''' 81-717.6, Ema cargo, Drivable Trams. '''They MUST be deleted & unsubscribed from or disabled in the Addons menu in Garry's Mod, or Metrostroi will encounter unexpected errors and problems!'''}}
{{Important|As of the 2nd of August 2017 you '''NO LONGER NEED''' the downloaded content from the Github. It is '''highly recommended to delete this content if you still have it.''' If you did not know about the Metrostroi Github content then you can safely ignore this warning.}}

=Singleplayer Game=
Due to limitations in the Source engine, playing Metrostroi in the normal singleplayer mode provided in Garry's Mod is not recommended as performance will be extremely poor, with single-digit frames per second. Additionally, no amount of lowering graphics settings will help performance, as these performance problems are CPU related (more specifically, Garry's Mod can only use very few CPU threads, which is bad for intensive simulators). Instead, it is '''highly recommended to create a dedicated server''' in your local network. Instructions on how to set this up can be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

=Multiplayer game=
To play on public servers with other players, you can either host your own server or join an existing one.

To join an existing Metrostroi server, open Garry's Mod, click "Find Multiplayer game" and search by key map names such as those at the bottom of this page. The maps themselves are separate addons to Metrostroi; make sure you install the map on your end first, so that you can check the map's required addons and make sure they are installed, otherwise you may see missing textures (pink and black chequered tiles) and red flashing "ERROR"s. The required addons can often differ from Metrostroi defaults, Garrygrad content and vary from map to map as well as sometimes being completely unrelated to Metrostroi.

There are two types of servers: ranked and unranked. In ranked servers you need to pass exams to drive a train, which are not recommended for new players. Unranked servers are free-to-drive, where you can spawn and drive without any exams. A given server will generally indicate what type of game it hosts, but if it is not indicated it is usually unranked. Servers are hosted by the community so there is unfortunately not much consistency between them, their communities and the content available. Because of this, not much concrete guidance on multiplayer gameplay can be provided.

Instructions on how to set up your own server be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

This list is not exhaustive but it does cover a good range of available experiences. You can find more maps by [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&searchtext=Metrostroi&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=items&requiredtags%5B%5D=Map searching for "Metrostroi" under the Maps category on the Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod]. You can get better results by adjusting the "Sort by" and "Over time period" settings at the top of the search results.

Other train maps (sometimes referred to as "trainbuild" maps) are available, although Metrostroi does not officially work with/support them, and there will be no simulated power supply, ARS, etc. For the best experience you should always seek dedicated Metrostroi maps.

=About Metrostroi=
Metrostroi is a free modification (add-on) for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry%E2%80%99s_Mod Garry's Mod]. In Metrostroi, you can feel like a conductor in the cab of a real metro train with all of the main electric, pneumatic and physical systems of the train accurately modelled and simulated. Every component of every train has true-to-life physical properties and the trains and maps have realistic sound effects.

The 2018 version includes the following trains:
* 81-702 ("D" type)
* E, Ezh, Ezh1
* 81-717/714 (Moscow and SPB types)
* Ezh3, Em508T
* Ema502, Em501 (From KVL and NVL)
* 81-718/719 (TISU from Kharkiv)
* 81-720/721 "Yauza" (DC from 1997)
* 81-722/723/724 "Yubileyniy"

Metrostroi is a prototype for [https://subtrans.it/ Subtransit].

__TOC__

=Installation=
Metrostroi is an addon for Garry's Mod which is available on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/ Steam] for $10/£7, although it is frequently reduced in Steam sales.

Once you have purchased and installed Garry's Mod through Steam (or if you have already done so previously) you must then subscribe to the Metrostroi addons in the Steam Workshop. They will then be installed, at which point you must open the game and let them be unpacked and mounted. Follow these instructions precisely:

# Subscribe to all addons listed in [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1098503782 this collection] by clicking the "Subscribe to all" button above the list.
# Wait for the "Garry's Mod - Workshop Content" item in your downloads queue to complete.
# Launch Garry's Mod and wait for the addons to unpack and mount. The process is complete when the loading box at the bottom of the screen disappears.

'''Note:''' The first time launching Garry's Mod after downloading large addons such as Metrostroi may take a while. Please be patient, even if the game appears to have crashed!

{{Important|In the "Advanced" section of the Video settings in Garry's Mod, '''"Model detail", "Shadow Detail" and "Texture detail" must be set to "High"''' or the trains and levels may not display correctly. Additionally, '''"Anti-aliasing" must be set to at least 2x MSAA''' to prevent visual bugs with transparency in glass panels, headlights etc. '''Reducing graphics settings has very little effect on Metrostroi performance in Garry's Mod due to the age of the Source engine.'''}}
{{Important|If you are experiencing missing models/materials (pink and black chequered tiles and flashing red "ERROR"s) and/or strange bugs or errors, you can force Steam/Garry's Mod to reinstall Metrostroi. Right click on Garry's Mod in your library, go to Properties, then the Local Files tab and click Browse. Open the "garrysmod" folder and delete all files and folders related to Metrostroi in the "addons" and "data" folders. Please note that some maps may have missing models/materials if they are in development or unfinished, and that reinstalling Metrostroi will not fix these.}}
{{Important|'''These addons are incompatible with the current version of Metrostroi:''' 81-717.6, Ema cargo, Drivable Trams. '''They MUST be deleted & unsubscribed from or disabled in the Addons menu in Garry's Mod, or Metrostroi will encounter unexpected errors and problems!'''}}
{{Important|As of the 2nd of August 2017 you '''NO LONGER NEED''' the downloaded content from the Github. It is '''highly recommended to delete this content if you still have it.''' If you did not know about the Metrostroi Github content then you can safely ignore this warning.}}

=Singleplayer Game=
Due to limitations in the Source engine, playing Metrostroi in the normal singleplayer mode provided in Garry's Mod is not recommended as performance will be extremely poor, with single-digit frames per second. Additionally, no amount of lowering graphics settings will help performance, as these performance problems are CPU related (more specifically, Garry's Mod can only use very few CPU threads, which is bad for intensive simulators). Instead, it is '''highly recommended to create a dedicated server''' in your local network. Instructions on how to set this up can be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].

=Multiplayer game=
To play on public servers with other players, you can either host your own server or join an existing one.

To join an existing Metrostroi server, open Garry's Mod, click "Find Multiplayer game" and search by key map names such as those at the bottom of this page. The maps themselves are separate addons to Metrostroi; make sure you install the map on your end first, so that you can check the map's required addons and make sure they are installed, otherwise you may see missing textures (pink and black chequered tiles) and red flashing "ERROR"s. The required addons can often differ from Metrostroi defaults, Garrygrad content and vary from map to map as well as sometimes being completely unrelated to Metrostroi.

There are two types of servers: ranked and unranked. In ranked servers you need to pass exams to drive a train, which are not recommended for new players. Unranked servers are free-to-drive, where you can spawn and drive without any exams. A given server will generally indicate what type of game it hosts, but if it is not indicated it is usually unranked. Servers are hosted by the community so there is unfortunately not much consistency between them, their communities and the content available. Because of this, not much concrete guidance on multiplayer gameplay can be provided.

Instructions on how to set up your own server be found [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Server_configuration here].
