    Crossing Signals show in TSRE but not in MG?

    Again with me and crossing signal issues. For years with the old RE, no issues. But each time I try and add Crossing Signals with TSRE, I get varied unsuccessful results.
    So, I can see these added fine in TSRE, but when running in MG, nothing.
    What can I look at here? I add them the same way I have always added crossing gate/signals.

    Thanks!

    Does anything appear in the OR log? Also, you don't have WriteTDB set to false in TSRE, do you?

      Ahhhh, the TDB false may be it. I do remember, for safety, setting that so I didn't clobber anything during mods. Let me go look!

        Update: I put that setting back to true, went in to TSRE, deleted the gates, re-added them, and I still don't see them in game.

          Update: Still having issues where I see the gates in TSRE, but not in MG.

          I do see this in the log, but not sure why this is flagged; or what to do about it:

            Try using Errors and Messages under the Tools tab.
            There as also an option in the settings.txt to automatically fix stuff like this.
            autoFix = true

            Randy

            One small trick if you aren't comfortable with this.
            I keep two different versions of TSRE available on my desktop, one with this line in the settings and one without.
            Before jumping in with both feet, sometimes, I'll open the route in the other TSRE before making any changes and minimize it in the backgroung so I have a valid restore if things go sideways.

              Hi Randy, I appreciate your assistance very much.
              I opened TSRE, navigated to where I freshly placed my crossing gates, and selected "Errors and Messages", and I see this, though don't know what it means or know how to correct - if indeed this is the problem?
              Also, my cfg file does not have the line "autoFix = true" - is this something one adds manually?:

                Randy, I added the line into my cfg, and it removed/fixed that error, but I still can't see the gates. I apologize, my knowledge gap is shining bright with this mystery.

                  Neil,
                  where can the crossing signal be downloaded?

                    Hello Carlo,
                    I have tried using one from SLI, which I like, and older one from what I believe came with the ConIndy route, and even one of Jovet's.

                      It's the description of the error that I don't know how to debug/correct. This is an issue, apparently, and something is out of whack for some reason.

                        I had something like this a month or so ago.
                        I had a bad rail joint that caused the train car trucks to wig out.
                        The fix for this is to click on the track piece and remove it from the TDB by pressing Z then reselect and press Z again to reenter it and hopefully fixing the problem.
                        I had a crossing I had forgotten about and blam there goes the TDB/World missmatch.
                        When you remove the TDB entry it also removes the entry for the crossing in the TDB but not in the World.
                        TSRE fixed it, no problem.

                          I tried it, Randy...no success
                          I am at the end of my rope, but won't hang myself....I'll just work on something else unless another suggestion pops up.
                          Though, this will bug me to no end.

                            Can you attach the settings.txt, and probably the TSRE log wose name escapes me (log.txt, maybe)? They should both be in whatever folder you installed TSRE in

                              Is it only the animated portion? Maybe there's something going on where it wants DDS for the animated pieces but is fine having ACE for the static portion of the object?
                              If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!
