BVE: New Northern Line - V3

[merseyrail12richard]

Hello everybody,

Firstly i would like to congratulate Steve Green on a fabulous route - well done!

I am running windows xp and bve 2.5.

I have installed the signals for this route correctly howerver, blue boxes appear around ALL of the signals in the new noprthern line route.

Also they have started appearing in some routes which were otherwise fine (eg - Sandymill to Invermay and Sandymill to Ashfield)

Could anyone please tell me why??

Thank you very much,
Richard!

Hello Richard,
I'm sure if this will help but I found something simular on my version. I had white boxes appearing round the signals and also where some terrain should be. i installed the patch on the site and all works fine now.
Remember to uninstall the signals using the other batch file before you want to use any other routes.
Is it pure blue? I think that is the colour that is meant to be transparent?

RE: New Northern Line - V3

Damon the white objects would be a lack of texture memory on your gfx card. I had the same problem with the Edinburgh route. It went away when I updated my Geforce drivers though, they must utilise the memory better. If you've got rid of them by the patch, it must be because the patch uses less textures that the original. The only problem is that with the patch the deep stations don't look half so nice!

Richard, your problem is that the signal transparencies don't appear to be working for some reason. I'm not sure why, but I just checked the signal bitmaps and they are 24bit colour. I wonder if reducing them to 256 would help. If you can't do this, then drop me an e-mail and I'll have a look for you.

As Damon said, don't forget to run the revert signals bat file to put your default signals back in, when you want to go back to driving a mainline route.

Any problems, drop me an e-mail. The address in on the website.


Cheers
Steve
