The glow itself is sized according to the formula: log_e(1 + max(0, distance - 100) / 40) * GlowFactor. The values you are inputting is the GlowFactor; this equates to the size at around 170m: (e - 1) * 40 + 100 = 168.73127313836180941441149885411.

In practice, just adjust to suit. :)


I will post a tutorial on it on TS.http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sign_thank_you.gif
Most of India friends are not on ET hence they do not have much idea about it.

So which file will you edit for this signal glow. My son enabled this option on an old route and the signal glow was way too bright. If you were not head on to the signal, you couldn't even see the signal post it was glowing from.

If you don't have one of those light textures that expands as you move away from it, all you have to do is check the box in the 'experimental' options menu of OR. If you do have an expanding texture, you'll have to replace it with one that doesn't expand, and the change the radius of lights in the sigcfg file. If you use the replace tool, it's pretty quick. The line looks like this:

Radius ( x )

Where x is a decimal number, usually around 0.1 for non-expanding textures, and around 1.0 for expanding ones

The file in question is the sigcfg.dat file found in the route's folder.

Hi everyone, sorry if after 3 years that these two commands ORTSDayglow() and ORTSNightglow() have been created I ask you for a clarification on these:
my doubt is, do they only work when I put the check mark under Signal light glow in the options or do they work even if I don't put the check mark under Signal light glow?

Thank you and good day to all,

Sergio.
