[JGRPP] Combined American Signal Set 2: Multi-aspect American signals

[bigyihsuan]

Combined American Signal Set 2

This is an unofficial continuation of the Combined American Signal Set by Pikka et al. It is written in NML, for JGRPP only, and supports multi-aspect signals on the following signal variants:

• Block
• Path
• One-way path
• No-entry

With the following signal styles:

• Semaphore
• Searchlight
• Color light
• B&O color position light

v1.1

• Adds the currently-signaled aspect to back-facing sprites.

[bigyihsuan]

v1.3.1

• Add gray number plates to double-headed block signals.
• Add incompatibility error with North American Track Set (4E4D0705) and North American Track Set 2 (4E4D0920).
• HOTFIX: fix no-entry signals being B&O color position light signals.

Out on Bananas!

v1.2

• Add double-headed B&O color-position light signals. The double-heads replace the older lights above/below the signal head.

v1.3.2

Fix double-headed block signals being 1 pixel too far to the right.

Why is this mod incompatible with the North American Track Set? Not to doubt you or anything I'm just curious since this mod looks awesome but I always tend to use that mod,

I did some testing and North American Track Set (both of them) have their own signals, but they do it in such a way that they override any signal sets you have. So they are marked incompatible because I can't figure out how to override the override without actually going in and forking the track sets.

That seems odd, because running the North American Track Set 1 and Combined American Signal Set 1 works fine. It is true that the NATS1 custom signals parameter will overridge the CASS1 electric signals, (although it doesn't effect semaphores) even if CASS1 is loaded later, but if you turn off that parameter the CASS1 signals show fine. But the way CASS2 is written, you can't even try this workaround since it disables itself.

EDIT: I just downloaded v1.1 and did some testing, although NATS1's custom signals option will overwrite CASS2 signals; if you disable NATS1's Custom Signals option, CASS2 signals display normally. And even if you have NATS1's custom signals enabled, CASS2's signals will still be an option in the signal dropdown menu if you disable the "Replace default graphics" option, although I think that's a JGR feature. I'd appreciate it if you could make a version of the latest release without the NATS1 error because of this, since the incompatiblity can be avoided with parameters.

I'd just like to second this. Reworking my server after the most recent release and having the ability to use the signal set under the right configuration would be invaluable.

I've investigated this further and put out a new release.

v1.3.3

• Remove incompatibility with North American Track Set and North American Track Set 2. Note that for both GRFs, the "custom signals" parameter should be set to off.

Though, in CASS2, if you have "replace default graphics" turned off, you can leave NATS and NATS2's "custom signals" parameter turned on.

Thank you for all this, definitely going to start using these.
