NYC Searchlight Signals

Greetings;

Would there be anyone willing to make the NYC searchlight signals found on the CSX main between Selkirk and Buffalo? I am starting a route in Trainz 12 based on that section.

Thank You
Peter N.

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the forums. It looks like you've been using Trainz for some sometime, but haven't visited here.

I believe there are some already on the DLS. Check the signals by PerRock. He did a bunch of signals including those for the NYC, CSX, B&O and others.

I made these if that is what you are looking for, they use the JointedRail Smart Signal script, you can get them here

Thanks for that link! I've been looking for some good searchlight signals too, for the Western Maryland and P&LE. I never knew this download existed. It should be a huge help.
 
Sorry it was my error...

Check Senior Chief not PerRock....

He made a ton of B&M Searchlight signals which are similar to those used by the NYC including the offset two-light ones.

Now, remember these are old content, and I can't guarantee the performance.

Sorry, Peter. I didn't know that.

Are there errors reported, or is it they just don't work. Most of the time the errors can easily be repaired.

I'm trying to use Grahamsea NYC Signals,which are what I need,but these are the errors that come up;

Warning: Required tag 'name' was missing and has been set to default.
Warning: The texture 'black_hood.tga' is a uniform color.
Warning: The texture 'black_plate.tga' is a uniform color.
Warning: The texture 'dark_gray.tga' is a uniform color.
Warning: The texture 'white_number_plate.tga' is a uniform color.
Error: The tag 'image' in '0' points to a nonexistent file: 'screenshot.jpg'.
Warning: The tag ';' in container 'string-table' is empty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter

The error is saying that the config file is looking for a screenshot .jpg but the .jpg doesn't exist. You can either create your own screenshot.jpg or find one of a suitable size in another asset and copy and paste it into the faulty asset.

The warnings can be safely ignored at the moment but they may become errors in a later version of Trainz.

I think the original poster is probably referring to the NYC's rather unique searchlights that have very small targets around the signal, which as far as I know were only used east of Buffalo. I haven't seen anything like these on the DLS, and could also use them if anyone is willing to make them.
