The bluepring lined below describes the proposal for the introduction of user-defined 'glow' settings :
Variable glow settings

The variable or_daylight is specifically intended for semaphore signals which often did not show any lights during daytime.

All of these options in sigcfg.dat should be named ORTSItem, e.g. ORTSDaylight.

Hi!

I'd like to try this feature, could you provide some example, how to use it? What are the arguments in the parenthesis after or_dayglow and or_nightglow? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Szilárd

Example with different day / night glow :

	SignalType ( "NF_PPL_DISTANT"
		SignalFnType ( DISTANCE )
		SignalLightTex ( "ltex" )
		ORTSDayglow( 4.0 )
		ORTSNightglow( 3.0 )

The value is a relative number, 1.0 is 'standard' glow, > 1 is brighter and < 1 is less bright. You just need to try some values to see what suits you best.

For semaphore signals, it is possible to switch off the lights by day, so the signals only show lights by night which was normal for semaphores in many countries.
Example :

	SignalType ( "NF_UQ3_1H_SA"
		SignalFnType ( NORMAL )
		SignalLightTex ( "ltex" )
		SemaphoreInfo ( 0.5 )
		ORTSDayLight (false)
		ORTSNightGlow (3.0)
		SignalFlags ( SEMAPHORE )
