Lights

you need the tag 'light-color' if I remember right. And you need to name the attachment points 'a.light0', 'a.light1', and so on.

This is what you told me in another thread, and everything worked fine then. now I do not have lights again and I don't remember what I did. Do I need attachment point listed in config file or something?
Example:

kuid <Kuid:213782:50901>
light 1
nightmode "lights"
mesh-table {
default {
mesh "Drivers.im"
auto-create 1
effects
{
corona0
{
kind corona
att a.corona0
textrue-kuid <kuid:-3:10111>
object-size 0.25
}
corona1
{
kind corona
att a.corona1
textrue-kuid <kuid:-3:10111>
object-size 0.1
}
corona2
{
kind corona
att a.corona2
textrue-kuid <kuid:-3:10111>
object-size 0.1
}
}
}
}

Well, you have the 'coronas' part correct. I wouldn't try putting that config.txt into TRS06+ though. The light-colour tag and the ditch-colour tag do NOT do anything on bogies. In fact, your not even supposed to have them on bogies. To change the colour of the light, choose a different corona. Simple as that.

I understand is a bogey, I thought this might be problem, but then that is where the mesh of the headlight is, this bogey is a part of the carrage, which is a traincar; so I should put these lines in config and attackment point in the mesh for the carrage? Just too many changes I guess, fix one thing and mess up something else!

 

[American_Connections]

Just don't understand

Well, that didn't work either. I just don't get it that it worked at one time, but now doesn't. And I don't remember changing anything in the config!

After reading you post, I see you talk about the coronas. That is not what I have trouble with! I mean the "lights" function in game: "L"; ya know like the horn and bell function.

 

[S301]

If I remember right, you can only use the 'headlight' function on a locomotive. Other than that, it would require either a script or a corona IIRC.

Exactly, that is what I am talking about! attachment points in mesh of traincar, plus script line in config file. But why it not work with these lines?-
