Signal lights on DT&I too large

[OmenRotcod]

I just installed the DT&I route from the library to run it on Open Rails. It looks good, but all the signals have lights that are way, way too large.

I installed all the updates and fixes and the route looks ok except for the signal lights.

Any help to correct this would be appreciated.

It appears that you have the original SigLight.ace where the modified one for viewing at distance is needed. There is a replacement in the file library siglight.zip for this.

Also Maple Left Tracks has their original version of this siglight.ace as a free download from their Site.

Thank you — that did the trick!

Replacing the siglight ace is a good starting point --- Couple of other adjustments may be helpful...or not, depends on what you are looking for ----

1. OR Options/Video tab: check or uncheck Signal Light Glow option to see difference.

2. Add an "OpenRails" folder to the route and put the sigcfg.dat and sigscr.dat files in it...OR will read this folder and treat them differently

Hardest of the three for last

3. Adjust radius entry in sigcfg.dat file --- smaller number equals smaller diameter of light glow

SignalType ( "CLV3color"

SignalFnType ( NORMAL )
SignalLightTex ( "ltex" )
SigFlashDuration ( 0.5 0.5 )

SignalLights ( 3
SignalLight ( 0 "Red Light"
Position ( 0.0 0.10 0.0 )
Radius ( 0.12 )
)
SignalLight ( 1 "Amber Light"
Position ( 0.0 0.37 0.0 )
Radius ( 0.12 )
)
SignalLight ( 2 "Green Light"
Position ( 0 0.62 0 )
Radius ( 0.12 )
)
)​

All the the radius entries may have to be adjusted, especially in older MSTS routes ...depending upon the type of signals used for the route, the radius may be different sizes to begin with... you must examine the whole file to see what you are dealing with.

Hopefully using a different ace file and checking/unchecking the option will work.

Thanks. I'll be giving those adjustments a try. Always something new here!
