Semaphore bug in alpha 58

Markowww · Post by **Markowww** » 03 Sep 2005 09:11

I'm usin alpha 58 version of ttdpatch.
Sometimes the game doesn't redraw semaphores. They stay always green but at the same time work properly.

Are you by any chance talking about the PBS signals? They work as intended. To indicate that they're not "regular" signals, they stay green as long as the train is passing them, after which they switch to red.

In my case some signals NEVER switch to red and no matter if they are PBS signals or not

. However, It doesn't affect train's behavior: if where's no way to go trains stop before "broken" (always green) signal. It seems that the game just doesn't draw some signals properly.

I loaded your game and these signals worked fine.

They are PBS signals, and you should load the nsignals(w).grf file to see them properly. You're missing the appropriate graphics, and so the PBS signals won't look right.

If I load your game with the old (non-PBS) signals.grf, they too go red briefly after the train has passed them. That's the intended behaviour.

I was able to reproduce the bug (in alpha 58) by building an array of two-way pbs combo signals, which should always stay red. As you can see in the screenshot, the error seems to depend on grid location.
I tested it with the newest nsignalsw.grf from Michael's site and the somewhat older version from the TTDPatch graphics page.
In alpha 57 all signals show red as intended.

When I load that save, all signals are red. :/

[edit] Hmm, but when I load it in a58, some are green. Looks like I've accidentally fixed that bug already, though don't ask me how...

I've downloaded nsignals(w).grf as you advised. But it didn't help

Like I said, I seem to have fixed the bug already for a59. If you like, please try a59 pre 3 from http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=351167#351167

I thought I'd noticed something like that, but I wasn't sure if my eyes were fooling me or not. It doesn't cause any problems anyway, and if it's fixed already for the next alpha, I won't worry about it.
