SHR Cabs have 2 horn handles

[wmuzeke]

I'm running Open Rails 1.4 and it seems like all of the SHR cabs have 2 horn handles and are placed behind the control stand (see attached screenshot). I have tried changing .cvf files and they all seem to have the same issue. This particular example is the MILW GP40 with the EMD STD 2 cab. Alias file is EMD-GP38-2-MILW-AS.cvf

This type of problem is common in many MSTS cvf files. It is a mistake in the animation numbers.

Look for this in the cvf file

TwoState (
			Type ( HORN TWO_STATE )

Third line under this entry you will find this line >>> NumFrames ( 2 1 2 )

It should read NumFrames ( 2 2 1 )

More than likely all the cvf files will have this same mistake, you can most Search ( or Find ) and Replace utility to make all the corrections in one pass.

Thanks so much! That definitely fixed it.

Thanks so much! That definitely fixed it.

Glad to help, that's what the forum is for...if you run into this problem again you can open the correct ace file ( horn.ace in this case ) and count the number of frames within the ace file. In the horn case it was one frame, two different states ( or positions ) within the frame. Then check the cvf file and see if the "NumFrames" aligns to the ace file.

I will definitely keep that in mind and have bookmarked this thread for future reference.
