MTA MODULE MM NEWBIE HERE!

[jeaniouso]

@Mykle1 Hi Mykle, I appreciate your reply… I see that you’re in the big apple like me , I hope that you’re well and staying healthy.

So, I tried adding ; to the last curly and I restarted MM however, a splash screen popped up upon restart.

[jeaniouso]

@Mykle1 I followed your posting I believe as much as possible.

@jeaniouso he said “a closing comma”, not semicolon,

the config is a list (array ) of module entries
each starts with { and ends with }
if there is another one coming, add a ‘,’ to the end of the 1st, to say ‘more coming’

it won’t hurt to have a ‘,’ after the module block }

modules: [                                  // start of list (array)
{                                           // start of a module 
...
}                                           // end of a module entry
,                                           // another entry to follow
{
...
}, 
etc
etc
]                                           // end of the modules list (array)

@jeaniouso but that is the default config.js, not the one w the module u are having trouble with…

Also, u can edit your forum posts to correct posting errors.
.I worked w u tonight, and u had the modules installed correctly, but the API key was not correct for some reason

[jeaniouso]

@sdetweil @Mykle1

Thank you so much for your tireless efforts! I finally have it working… I played around with the script after getting rid of errors pointed out by @Mykle1 plus his tutorial was excellent as I read it again and I opted for another API key that I found on here as suggested by @sdetweil … I finally got it working thanks to you two!! Now I can rest lol… Man what a workout!!!

[sdetweil]

@jeaniouso said in MTA MODULE MM NEWBIE HERE!:

I opted for another API key that I found on here

u are supposed to create a new apikey on the train providers web site

[jeaniouso]

@sdetweil I did but, for some reason it’s not working hence why I used the other one

[jeaniouso]

@sdetweil I stand corrected. The APIKEY in the code is mine… I just confirmed

[Mykle1]

@jeaniouso

Good to see you got it sorted and perhaps a better understanding of how things work. Well done.
