Hi, Ged

That light section you posted works fine for me now when switching cabs, thankyou.

The lighting code for London & South East locos I posted, I added to actually make them work because previously they had no function at all in ORTS.

Thanks, Graeme

Hi Graeme,
London & South East lights.
The units you specified don't have any modelled lights, so have no lights section. I tested your sample with a 201 and there are two problems :

1. The first line needs changing from 'Lights ( 1' to 'Lights ( 4' [because there are four lights sub-sections!]
2. The light's position is much too far forward - for the 201, the third value of 'Position' should be 8.80 (instead of 10.0). This should be applied to all 4 'Position' entries. The value will probably need changing for other vehicle types - you can use Paul Gausden's Shape Viewer (UKTS_7930) together with Ian Macmillan's Measuring Tool (UKTS_14872) to determine the position (width (x), height (y) and length (z)) of any point on a model.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, I was not aware of these tools and how they work together so perfectly, so many hidden gems to be found.

Regarding the L&SE, I positioned the lights according to the MT_DB_BlueGrey_BR_EPB thinking that the others would fall into place, thanks for that extra info about the 4 light sub sections.

Your info is much appreciated, Graeme

After using the complete lights section for NWC_45048 I noticed 2 of the North Wales Coast 2 activities show as an error: 1A46 & 1D02 both use the 45048

I have also got the same issue with a diesel I updated in L&SE, any idea why this is occurring, no doubt its an easy fix? [hopefully]

Thanks, Graeme

Hi Graeme,
What, exactly, is the error you're getting?

You reported that the 45048 lights worked correctly in your 02:47PM post of yesterday. Have you made any changes to the .eng file since then?

First thing which comes to mind is that you're either short of a close bracket, or have too many!

Having checked the file I posted, the open- & close-brackets are all balanced so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't there.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, The 45048 does work correctly when I first checked it with the Peak Army Activity and it still does, I haven't tampered with your code because it is working perfectly.

EDIT: I just replaced the NWC_45048 with the original code and all activities are working now.

This is the error now on 2 activities that utilises the 45048:

I have the same problem concerning a Class 33 from L&SE, an error has appeared for its activity.

Here is the code I prepared for the Class 33's, maybe I have done something to upset it?

HI Graeme,
There's nothing wrong with your Lights section - I've just applied it to 33038. However, it seems to be located in a non-standard position within the .eng file, although that shouldn't stop it from working. It may be that you've 'lost' either an open bracket or a close bracket and the only way for us to check it is for you to zip up the .eng file and attach it to a post.

As far as the Open Rails problem with the NWC activities are concerned, the Open Rails log may give more information - please zip that up and attach it to a post. It's unlikely to be caused by 45048 itself as the loco works OK, but there may be a problem with the consist, or other file which makes up the activity.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged,
I re-pasted your code back into the NWC_45048 and all is well with the consists, I did clear the cache folder but I doubt that could have been the culprit.

The L&SE Class 33: These had existing light sections each in different locations within the .eng file, again there function in ORTS was faulty, so I basically re-coded as shown and pasted in place of the old light section, maybe that is an issue? I'll move them to a different spot and see if that helps bring back '15: Redhill-Norwood Departmental'

Thanks, Graeme

Edit: I figured out the problem with the Class 33:

State (
Duration ( 1.0 )
LightColour ( 80ff0000 )
Position ( 1.05 1.50 -7.24 )
Azimuth ( -180.0 -180.0 -180.0 )
Transition ( 1 )
Radius ( 0.25 )
)
)
)
)


) <-- I had removed/pasted over this bracket

Engine ( 33038

Another fix regarding .eng files:

Example instance - North Wales Coast 2:

Activity:
Explore Route

Locomotive:
<load error: NWC_101_DMBS_B
<load error: NWC_101_DMBS_BG
<load error: NWC_101_DMBS_W

These .eng files were lacking 'Description' information, copying the DTCL.eng description text fixes this <load error: message.
