Letters not lighting...
I have light letters on a marquee sign. The marquee is lit up, fine. But the letters are not playing ball. Any help?

Sounds like you lost the ballast for the backlight tubes, what make and model of sign do.... uh... right, the game.

Can you post a screenshot? I might just be a buggy sign, could try moving some letters around while powered to see if it 'comes alive'.

Can I post a screenshot in the forum or do I just post it like you noramally do?

you can link to a steam screenshot, otherwise... I'm not sure what you mean by 'normally do'. steam screenshots are the normal thing. That's F12 in-game, and the screenshot manager pops up when you close the game.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Will post it in un momento.

Sorted it. Cheers. Just needed another pylon. DOH! Also, do you have any idea how to get rid of a floating light glitch? I will post it on here and in a new post.

You can right click on an individual image and 'copy url' to show the pic in the thread.

No need to do that though, didn't realize you were using fluorescents on a matinee and apparently the matinee doesn't provide any 'ambient power', which you fixed with the pylon. Could also fix that with a side-mount connector on the back of the sign, I bet.

Floating light... one of yours or is that a candle or something that was on top of furniture you scrapped? I can't really make out the issue in that screenshot. if it's a 'leftover' then you can:

1 - enter console mode
2 - click on the light (an ID code should appear mid-screen)
3 - type 'disable'
4 - if the light and *only* the light disappeared, good. If nothing happened or anything else went away, type 'enable'.
5 - if the results in #4 were good, type 'markfordelete'
6 - click elsewhere until there's no code showing before leaving console mode, just to be safe.
