A few days ago I installed Travis Ebner's CSX Darth Vader colorlight signals along the CSX trackage of my Detroit-Toledo route. I thought everything was going to be well until I decided to start a timetable train from the Toledo end of the route, when it crashed with:

"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

It appears to be related to the CSX signals, as I go within 10 miles of any CSX signal on the route, this error crashes the game.

Advance thanks.

It looks like the signal shapes are looking for signal types that aren't present in the sigcfg file, either because they're mis-named or were never added in the first place. I'll check my copy when I get home to make sure I didn't botch the names

It's possible, but keep in mind that the version of Detroit-Toledo that is out now doesn't have the CSX tracks that I mentioned.

No, I meant my copy of the signal system, just to make sure I didn't mis-name a bunch of signal types or something. I doubt it, since that would have crashed OR while I was still testing them, but you never know... In any case, the route is turning out to be pretty impressive

It looks like I don't see any misnames on my copy either...

Go ahead and check your copy anyway.

I think I may have found the culprit:

The strange part is that all of these signal types are listed in the sigcfg file.

I took a more complete look at the log file, and it looks like you've got a ton of duplicate signal types and shapes, and that the counts are also way off. I think this problem would be fixed by a thorough cleaning of the sigcfg file. It should be something you could handle, but if you're not comfortable with it, I can do it. I should probably make a minor patch to the scripts, anyway, so timetables will work better.

Here's the attached sigcfg file with duplicate types and shapes removed, for you to try to fix the counts.

I decided to open the sigcfg file in Notepad+ and indeed I miscalculated the number of signal types. After adjusting the signal type number, the route is loading perfectly once again!

Thanks for the help Travis.

I think I got to 250 or so and saw one of the C&O sets again. I'm certainly glad I don't have that many systems in any of my routes...
