UK Route Indicator add-on

Description
UK Route Indicator add-on

This mod combines the functionality of the Better Signals script mod (nightfurry34) with the UK Light Signals (Killakanz) to deliver functional route indicators to the game. The Better Signal mod is available from Transport Fever. net www.transportfever.net/filebase/entry/7583-better-signals/ and is required for this mod to function. This model provides new route indicator meshes along with combining the models/code to provide functional route indicator signals. The route indicators are available within the Better Signal Assets group. Both pole and gantry mounted signals are avilable from 1925.

####################################
Please make sure you download the better signals mod from the link above. Otherwise this mod will not work and result in a game crash. Once you have downloaded the mod unzip the mod into the local/mods directory. See details on this here: https://www.transportfever2.com/wiki/doku.php?id=gamemanual:modinstallation
####################################

Here is how to use them:
1 - Place an invisible signal prior to the junction.
2 - Place a suitable signal asset with route indicator within the * zone of the invisible signal (under the better_signal asset grouping in the assets menu).
3 - Place a waypoint (can be invisible or any other) on the diverging route. Ensure that the direction of the waypoint arrow matches the direction of travel.
4 - Determine which route indicator position should illuminate on the signal when a train takes the divergent route.
5 - Name the waypoint to match the chosen route indicator position (e.g. route=1 would then result in position 1 in the route indicator being illuminated once a proceed aspect is shown).

Thank you to Killakanz for providing the colour light signal models and to nightfury34 for the code that enabled this mod.

@Scotchbob, any update on the 4 aspect signal?
mikeypollard Feb 27 @ 12:29pm 
That works, thank you so much.

@mikeypollard you can check your keybindings - the controls are bound to "Buildoption 7" and "Buildoption 8" - maybe that helps

@nightfury34 I tried using the tilting keys but no matter what I try it is only selecting one of the signals and i'm not sure how to fix it.

@mikeypollard make sure the linking marker (white blob) is slecting the right signal when placing the asset. You can change which signal is selected by using the same keys used for tilting assets

@mikeypollard - that’s something likely down to the better signals code behind the scenes. @nightfury34 any ideas or just make sure there is enough space between signals?

Hey, great mod but I found a problem that when you try and place 2 of the signals next to each other the assets snap to the wrong signal and doesn't work properly with both signals clearing for one line and no signals clearing for the other.

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for this mod, it brings so much more realism to the signalling system, the line-side and the gantry options add so much to the game. Keep up developing this.
