How to add a new bridge to the game?

[nanth_abc]

I've tried to add a new bridge by copy the bridge file and trackst file to objdata folder.
Then I opened locomod that I could see the new bridge in the list, I've check for that bridge.
But when I open the game, the new bridge type is still not shown when I select building bridge button.
How should I do?
Is there other ways to add the bridge.
Thank you for you help.

Read this topic carefully, it can be tricky: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=29348

I recommend keeping the topic open while you make the changes, and taking it one step at a time. It can get overwhelming if you try to remember everything the first time.

[nanth_abc]

I've done as suggest in viewtopic.php?f=37&t=29348
but there was no new selected bridge show when I opened the game.
how can I do?

[Zakos]

Perhaps you made an error. Remember to change the value for "numbridges" near the top, or the new line won't be read.

Also note that you can only have up to 7 bridges per track type. If you add any more, then the .dat file will be recompiled with only 7, leaving off the others.

[nanth_abc]

I've change the "numbridge" to 7 which is the max value.
And my selected bridge is 0 to 7.
So could you suggest me what wrong?
I've go to locomod and edit the savegame but no change

[Zakos]

If it goes from 0 to 7, then there are 8 bridges in total (because the numbers start at 0 instead of 1), and you have gone over the limit for bridges. Unfortunately, this means that you have to choose which 7 bridges you prefer to use.

Post the part of the code you have edited, maybe we see the problem.
Looks like a small error has been made while edditing the file.

[Zakos]

He changed numbridges to 7, and had 8 bridges (0-7). Ergo, #8 was omitted.

Here is my trackst file.
Is there any wrong code?

There are no errors there, but it sounds like you also wanted bridge[7], which isn't there.

That's because numbridges only goes up to 7 (and thus allows 0-6).

[nanth_abc]

I want bridge[6] which wasn't shown when I opened the game.
The bridge construction menu was only shown other bridges, but not BRDGCONC.
How should I do?

[Zakos]

Did you drag the edited .xml back onto LocoTool to recompile the .dat file?

[nanth_abc]

I've edited the file into trackst.dat file and place it objdata folder already.
But it's still not work.

[Lighthouse]

the signals don´t have 8 characters
for example [signs ]= only 5 characters, you have to add a few spaces there
Check also the other ones

edit see example code here in first topic
