Hi.
I'm sorry about maybe stupid question. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about c# and programming.
Can a TCS script be written for one or little more controls only? For example, if I want to write a script only for cabSignal, based on non-NORMAL Signal Heads, does including of TCS files means that a speed limits of NORMAL Signal Heads doesn't appears for the player train in this case and they must be written into the script?

Regards
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

No, any TCS script is responsible for the behavior of several subsystems ordinarily controlled by Open Rails. So, your code must include instructions to control all of them. Off the top of my head, that includes the cab signal aspect, the signal speed limit, the overspeed alarm (if wanted), the vigilance alarm (if wanted), and the emergency brake.

Hi,

I have specified two additions of the SignalFeatures class:
- The current signal head type name (we currently only have the name of the main signal head)
- The current draw state name

They will be useful to determine which aspect is shown on the signal for signals not fitted with C# scripts.

If you have any other ideas to include, don't hesitate to propose them to me.

I propose the addition of two new functions to get door state: AreLeftDoorsOpen() and AreRightDoorsOpen().
These are useful for safety systems that cut the traction if doors are open.

Hi Cesar, I think that this is a useful addition. I would also suggest separate door open and door close commands that pass through the TCS, as well as of course the possibility for the TCS to open and close doors.

[Serana]

To be more complete, we need :
- functions to forbid door opening on one side or both sides
- functions to command door opening and closing


For example, this can be used to:
- force door closing if the speed is above a defined speed.
- lock the doors on the track side

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. I did a bit of refactoring on the door handling, and included TCS hooks to open and close doors, as well as for locking them.

The behavior of the TCS script in multiplayer should be improved, especially the Italian SCMT.
The signals are seen incorrectly by the system, red overlay non-existent (the railway stub is displayed on the Track Monitor), and if you leave the preset path (even in single player), only code 120 (yellow) is transmitted, even with green signals.

Nothing about this?

That's not easy. Multiplayer has an own way to set signals, and this may mislead the TCS scripts.
