Pre-signals

Post by ttdjunkie »

Hi,

I cannot see the difference between the signals and pre-signals in my game, all signals look like the old/original TTD signals. Where's the problem in the game?
Should I get some extra grf somewhere? I have added the signalsw.grf

I'm new at this
HEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!! :-)


I'm using TTD Patch v1.9.1 alpha 49 (jul3, 2003)

In order to use pre-signals you click ctrl-click them. Read the manual for more details http://www.ttdpatch.net/doc.html#manual

How to install new GRF's? I cannot find any manual about this. I have downl. the TTDpatch Starter, and presignals are on. But in the game I cannot see them with the horizontal/vertical grey/yellow bar. I also have downl. the graphic manager, but I cannot manage to get it right. Graphic manager says I installed
With CTRL I can get 2 kinds of signals, they both look the same, only the 2nd one always stays on red.
Below is my TTD-cfg, i removed the lines starting with //

Maybe this is a simple problem, but as I said, I'm new at this.

You need to make a folder in your TTD folder (the one with ttdpatch.exe and gamegfx.exe or ttdx.exe) with the name 'newgrf' (without the quotes). Then put all the grf files into that folder.
Now, in your TTD folder (not the newgrf folder), create a text file called newgrfw.txt. In that folder put lines relating to all the grf files you have put in the 'newgrf' folder like this:

Code: Select all

newgrf/signalsw.grf
newgrf/elrailsw.grf
and so on (you will only need the signalsw.grf file for the presignals).
Now try running TTDPatch.

(By the way, you're missing out on some of the great new features like electrified railways and other new graphics. Post here if you want more information.)

Using the Query tool (upper-right corner), you can verify that you are indeed placing pre-signals. Ctrl-clicking should cycle through Regular, Pre-Signal, Combo, and Exit signals. (the last three are all technically "pre-signals")

Here, just download this and unzip it into your ttd directory... (the one with ttdpatchw.exe in it), I may have some older version of the cargo set and the temperate enhancements are in there aswell :roll:

Indeed, the presignals.
I can CTRL+*place signal*, but I dont see any difference between the signals (the yellow/grey hor/vert. signs on the signals). I currently have the latest tps version. updated 3-jul.

do you have signals[w].grf ??
do you have presig[w].grf ??
do you have 'presignals on' ??
do you have 'extpresignals on' ??
do you have latest patch (1.9.1 alpha 51, or tommorow beta) ??
do you have 'newgrf/signals[w].grf' in newgrf[w].txt ?? (or newgrf[w].cfg since beta)

[w] - put there 'w' if you have Win Version of TTD

the presig(w).grf is obsolete, you only must use signals(w).grf !
