Problem with Railwaves Signals causing detrimental effects in Trainz (800 X 600)

[shaneturner12]

Hello again Trainzers,

I am now having an issue with one of the signals in the Railwaves UK Signalling Pack.

It's easier to show what it is doing, see the images below: (click an image to see the full version - this is due to ImageShack's options not being clear)




The name and KUID of the offending signal is in the first screenshot, but I know it is happening with several.

Strangely enough, this problem only started when I added three of this signal (although only 1 is needed to cause this issue sometimes), and was working fine beforehand.

I like these signals due to their configurability, and their general look.

Does anyone have a solution on why this is happening, as it is causing my framerates to drop significantly at times.

If needed, here are my system specs (from my utility):

Hi Shane

First, thanks for your new PC System Spec shower, it is a very handy tool

Secondly, have you tried contacting RailWaves Directly??

Hi Shane.
Looks like you have stumbled on another funny one. I use these signals too as they do look much more realistic. I have them on my route built in 06 in between junctions and at most of the small stations, I only use the Bloodnok Signals at junctions as they don't take up resources and time to set them up. My route has been transferred to both Trainz10 & 12 without this problem so I'm wondering if it maybe the fact that you have used the "Set up/Configure" part of the signal as apposed to me who just plonks them down as normal signals?
What and how did you set the signals up?

H222:

I will look into contacting Railwaves, but I thought I'd better check here first to see if anyone else has encountered/fixed this issue.

Deano5:

I simply used the Trackside Properties tool (the ? button on the trackside tab) then clicked the tick icon as I did not need to set anything.

I did simply put 2 of them down without doing this though.

Hi Shane.
I just tried them on a test map, put 5 various signals and gave them names and area codes, then drove a LM 321 up and down the line. No problems. There must be something on your route that is causing a conflict, any thoughts and I'll try to replicate it.
What stations are you using and other industries?
What triggers and other scripted trackside objects do you have in use?

 

[shaneturner12]

I'm at a friend's house at the moment, but will have a look when I get back.

I am now back at my own system, and as requested, here is the list of all scripted items, apart from trains produced by portals. If this is required, that may take a bit longer.

Shane,

Take a look at your Jetlog.txt file.

All kinds of useful information about your route's operations are listed in this file including script error references.

John

 

[shaneturner12]

Just had a look, and cannot see any reference.

I have just reinstalled the affected signals though, and am now re-trying them.

If it works this time, I think the problem is with always-controlled.

Shane

 

[shaneturner12]

I think I have a result...

I have just re-tested the route after reinstalling the UK Signalling Pack (the pack that the signals are part of) and the script errors appear to be gone.

I have a feeling that it's something to do with either the build number, or the always-controlled tag.

Shane

EDIT: Spoke too soon - the errors have started to reappear. Only had 3 of the error so far, but it may increase.
