Yet another train program by me, after a few days of work there it is!
Have you ever travelled with a train? Probably yes.
So if you want to kinda-recreate this experience - you can do it!
TrainManager has a few programs in it: "ScheduleBoards", "TicketSale Lite", "Train Schedule for Ticket Sellers" and
"TrainRegister for ScheduleBoards". All that in just 1 installer!


Install:

pastebin run 543QccH3

HOW TO USE:

Most important of all: Go to the in-game mod config and set he modem distance to 0! Otherwise you will be limited to station distance!
You will need 4 computers in order to make a full station with 1 ticket seller.
You will need a FLOPPY DISK and a disk drive NOT IN THE STATION! They are used for all the stations!
Now, connect all of the 5 computers to the disk drive using 1 cable (1 cabe to connect all computers, monitors and the drive) so they all have connection between themselves.
On one of the computers type

pastebin run 543QccH3

. Make sure your disk drive is connected!
All right. Now, you will need at least 1 monitor: width:4 height:2.
Now, connect the monitor to a computer and type:

 monitor monitor_ID disk/scheduleBoard 

. This should pop up the text "TRAIN SCHEDULED DEPARTING". Now, on the second computer type

 disk/trainSignal 

. It will ask you for a few things. Leave that as-is for now.
Now, place the printer + third and fourth computers in the place where the tickets will be sold. Make sure to connect them with the other computers and monitors! On the third computer type

 disk/ticketsale 

and

 disk/ticketsaleP 

on the fourth one.
All right, you're all set u- wait! I told you to leave the third computer as-is. Let me explain how it works!
Okay, it should ask for a bunch of things and on the next line you can type. The first time, type the train number. That is a 4-number identification number which is printed on the tickets and is available on the schedule boards so the passengers can identify which train is theirs. As I said, it must be exactly 4 numbers.
Now, it will ask you to type again. This time you will have to type the arrival time (24h format, 00:00-24:00, it should have the :!
For the third time it asks you to type, type the time on which the train will depart.
The last and fourth time it asks you to type the destination. There is almost no limit in the length of the destination name and it can contain a space.
If your wiring is correct, now on the schedule board you will see an entry under the text above and on the third computer (running the ticketsale program) you will see an entry with the number and the destination (so the ticket seller can easily sell tickets without any problems).
Oh, I mentioned selling tickets.. That can be done easily by just opening the

 disk/ticketsaleP 

program on the fourth computer and then enter the train number and customer's name!
