Stuck At Red Lights on Sessions

[hurstville1]

G"day guys, this is a post from a newbie.

I've seen some sessions cause you to be stuck at a red signal for extremely long periods of time(havent actually sat thru one), causing you to go off timetable etc. Some scenarios you can't pass red signals under any circumstances:'(

Is there a way I can change signals or go thru em?

Examples include - Scenarios- Banks Heath and Walladrobbla - Karrah bay - 10.04 passenger

Thanks, in advance guys.

From one newbie to another...

I can't help you with Walladrobbla - I haven't tried it yet, but Banks Heath drove me crazy! The signal is Yellow, but the scenario ends when you go through it because somewhere in there it thinks it's Red. Very frustrating.

The only way I could figure out to get by it was to modify the scenario's script in Notepad and comment-out the section that terminates the scenario. I still got the message that I ran a signal, but at least the game let me continue to the rest of the stations. It's not perfect, but it worked.

Of course, the better solution is to fix the signal problem, but I have no clue where to begin to look for that. Maybe someone else here will be able to help us both by providing the answer to that.

Have fun!

Hi,

Which version of Trainz?

It's really important, 'cos lots of sessions were written for TRS 2004.
Most import onto TRS 2006 without problems.

The sessions and routes in TRS 2009 (World Builder Edition) were collected and added to the program, but ....
The scripting of the sessions was written for earlier versions of the game engine. I've notice a couple of problems part-way through sessions in 2009 - which appear to require editing the scenario to make it work completely.

Games are supposed to be FUN

I reckon if the scenario doesn't work, delete the stupid thing and do another one. If you end up with no scenarios left to do, let Auran know and see what they do about it. Remember, you're playing a GAME for fun and relaxation. If the stuff that gets added to the game by the writers/developers/publishers, doesn't work then it means they have lost sight of the FUN aspect.
I personally don't do the scenarions but I have tried that one and had the same problem.

they wont do anything about it. if it mattered they would have fixed them long ago, but instead the blame someone else or just dont care. i for one wish theyd release a trs version with NOTHING included except the obvious required content. most of the stuff you get with TRS is junk or broken anyway. maybe then they could use the extra money toward maintaining the DLS.
