Signalling problem

[docmartin]

The attached screenshot shows a scene from a test activity for my forthcoming Chiltern line route. Can anyone explain why the signals on the track adjacent to the player train are showing green when there are no AI trains in the activity?

The screenie is taken in Open Rails, though the same thing happens when the activity is run in MSTS. In MSTS, however and despite using MSBin, some of the signals do not light up at all.

The signals are the London Transport colour light signals developed by Jimi Ibett and his team for their District line route and used with permission. The signal scripts are contained in sigscr-LUL-signals.dat

Here are relevant lines extracted from the OR log file (the full log file is attached), which I am not knowledgeable enough to interpret:

(a very large number of these errors flagged)

Any help that can be given with these issues will be gratefully received.

Errors - Warning: Signal referenced in .w file

Good morning Martin.
I had a similar problem with errors in Open Rails. Corrected type errors - Warning: Signal referenced in .w file -6076 14920 as TrItem 1532 not present in .tdb file using TSRE5. For example, I was looking for the TrItem 1532 signal in the w-6076 14920.w file from the WORLD folder. I determined his position and entered it into the Position & Rotation window, marking the red good signal marker probably placed closest to the faulty signal, which consisted only of shape and did not have a red marker. The signals listed in the log were not added to the TDB and after selecting and deleting the shape with the Del button the error from the log disappeared. In the OR Track Viewer program you can first check the Route - Menu - File - Search by index - Search TrackItem - trackItem index = 1532. You have to do it with maximum zoom and probably the signal with this number will be of a different type and at a different location on the route. I only had a few warnings of this type, but before, I made a copy of the route and took screenshots of places on the route of correct and incorrect signals with the same TrItem numbers (I deleted the correct one temporarily). By the way, I corrected the "incorect crossover" error in TSRE5, which I checked a few years ago on the Polish CMK Route, in which this error caused a malfunction of the signaling and the inability to create correct paths for the Timetable mode.
