Assist request with AI Horn Blowing

[csantucci]

The same here: horn is blown and train passes signal. By the way it probably couldn't be otherwise, because looking at the sigscr.dat and sigcfg.dat files there is no signal having a STOP state. Neil, maybe you have different sigscr.dat and sigcfg.dat files? Could you attach them?

The just appeared OR NewYear MG rev. 86 adds a new feature for AI train horn blows: the horn blow sequence (long honk - long honk - short honk - very long honk) as usual in the USA.
To get this horn blow sequence there are two different possibilities, like now for the single blow:

- inserting line

		ORTSAIHornAtCrossings ( 2 )

in .act files after line

		NextActivityObjectUID ( 32768 )

will cause the AI trains to generate a sequence of horn blows before railroad crossings;
- inserting a WP with value of 60021 in a path will cause the AI train to generate a sequence of horn blows after that WP.

Hmm wonder if that works on the latest testing version too..

To answer my own question - No, just the same single blow. Must get around to installing MG soon...

Thanks all, just getting back to seeing the replies.
First, yes - there is one difference between my route and the one released to the public - mine is signaled, so there would be different scripts. That said, is it worth me looking at the above attachments, or would you like to see my scripts?
And Carlo - I need to go get that latest version of MG, as the long/long/short/long sounds fantastic!
Hope you all had a pleasant New Year.

Neil,
if your route is signalled, not only sigscr.dat will be different; I assume that also sigcfg.dat, the .tdb and the .rdb files, the .w files will be different, and there would probably be additional signal shapes and textures. Or have you only modified the script?

[qballbandit]

It would all be different - a good buddy signaled the route for me, as that stuff is way beyond my capability.
That said, do you think that adding a wait point would flag a absolute stop even though it's simply for the horn blow value?
I don't want to waste more of your time looking into it, I know you have better things to do, just curious if you have any further thoughts.

Hi Neil,
of course the first thing that comes into mind is that such special WP influences the signal aspect, as standard WPs do. However this should not occur for this specific type of WP, and this is the first time I read of such a case, and in my test activity this does not occur. So I think this will remain an unresolved problem. Sorry for that.

No worries, and I appreciate your help. I'll continue to mess with it on my version, and if I resolve it - I'll post it here.
