No Signals on the FBL Line 3 route

[ddcat2004]

Hello guys. I started an activity on the FBL Line 3 route today and all the signals are black(dark). This is the first time this has happened to me since I have been running ORTS. I have on version X3004 now. I am wondering if there is an easy fix for that and to turn on all the signals in the route.

From another forum thread -November2013 "Skip(...) works identically to Comment() in Open Rails AFAIK; the problem with this case is that there is a stray underscore which confuses the identification of the skip block. "

Pertains to the FBL signals...the skip section at the head of the sigcfg.dat file needs to be removed (and placed in separate text file) or changed to remove the underscores. I just cut it out and made a text file named sigcfg skip text, all my signals worked fine after that.

No "garuntees" here, your problem may be due to other issues.

Problem fixed. I have signals now. That Skip _( was the problem. I made it read Skip( and that fixed it.

I believe there's a patch in the file library that addresses this very issue : fbl3_orsigpatch.zip

I use _Skip ( ) in my sigcfg files regularly without trouble. I suspect it comes from having the underscore as shown in this thread, like so: Skip _( ). Mostly I use these comment lines to keep accurate count of signal types and shape entries
