Noticed that with the RMD East route in OR the switch indication are reversed from MSTS indications. Switch aligned for divergence shows straight through indication straight through traffic indicate divergent route.

The track monitor has it correct, so it could just be a problem with the rotation on the switchstand.

I had a lot of problems getting add-on switchstand animations to behave. It's one of the reasons I converted over to Scalerail.

I believe these switch stands make use of out-of-bounds frame numbers and when I fixed them to animate at all, and I did question whether I'd got the handling of these out-of-bounds values right. (Comment 11 of bug 1096831.)

If they're backwards, I'll have to work out what the right way to animate these is.

James, if you need one, I can send you one...

While I'm not an expert at signal scripts I decided to take a look at the sigconfig.dat for the RMD East.

About half way down I found this,

SignalType ( "SwitchLamp"
SignalFnType ( DISTANCE )
SignalLightTex ( "ltex" )
SemaphoreInfo ( 0.5 )
SignalFlags ( SEMAPHORE )

SignalDrawStates ( 2
SignalDrawState ( 0
"Reverse"
SemaphorePos ( 1 )
)
SignalDrawState ( 1
"Normal"
SemaphorePos ( 2 )


and changed it to this,

SignalType ( "SwitchLamp"
SignalFnType ( DISTANCE )
SignalLightTex ( "ltex" )
SemaphoreInfo ( 0.5 )
SignalFlags ( SEMAPHORE )

SignalDrawStates ( 2
SignalDrawState ( 0
"Normal"
SemaphorePos ( 1 )
)
SignalDrawState ( 1
"Reverse"
SemaphorePos ( 2 )

I swapped the Normal and Reverse states in the SignalDrawStates.

All is well!
Now I have to figure out a way to speed up the switchstand animation for the Monon.

The SemaphoreInfo value (earlier in the SignalType entry) determines the number of seconds to pass between frames of animation. In the code you posted, it's 0.5 so the game will take half a second to move from frame #0 to frame #1. (Frame numbers are determined by the SemaphorePos values.) So, lower that value to make it faster.

Thanks steved. It worked perfectly!

Sorry to bump an old thread but I had the same exact problem GN Marias pass 4.

If you have an "Openrails" sub-directory in your route folder be sure to change the sigcfg.dat in that folder as well as the cigcfg.dat in your route folder. I keep two copies of cigcfg.dat so that the MSTS route editor doesn't crash.
