Missing pre-signal graphics?

[hermanthegerman]

Howdy folks,

i'm using ttd-patch ver 2.0r1w.



I placed a signal, then i held down STRG/CTRL and switched between the different types of signals. But there never appeared a pre-signal (the signals with a yellow or gray line under the lights)!?

Why is the northeast signal red, but the other green?
When changing signals with or without holding down the STRG key the lights sometimes change from red to green (or vice versa).

I'm very confused about that...

BTW: Sorry, for broken english, i'm not very skilled in writing english texts.

Yes, looks like you've succeeded in making pre-signals. You can use the info-tool to check the signal type even if the graphics don't work.

As for the graphics, make sure you have signalsw.grf in your newgrf folder, and the line "newgrf/signalsw.grf" in your newgrfw.cfg file.

Shame on me, an user error: i had a spelling mistake in my newgrfw.cfg.

That can happen to the best of us.
Have you donwloaded the presig.zip saved game, with some nice examples of presignal set up's ?

Yes, thanks, but it's difficult to understand, (imo).
I have to work through some tutorials first...
