Mar-08-02, 10:17 PM (EST) "Missing .s & .sd files"
Hi Guys,I'm having a bit of a problem maybe someone could help me with...Im trying to add Passive Block Signals to a route, there are a few types but I'll just give you one example here, lets say "Search Light Permissive Double Head" . Now it shows in the Track Objects file in the editor ok, but..... When I try to install it I get an error message " no extended shape data for SLsigdbper.s "... It's not lieing.. When I search the Train Sim shapes folders
( all routes ) the .s and .sd files in question aren't there. I even went so far as to search the Train Sim installation disk(s) (cab files etc) but I cant find them there either I tried searching Train-sim.com libraries but cant find them there either (unless I just missed them). Maybe they were part of a file I once downloaded, I dunno. But if they were I dont know which one

Any help as to where I could find theses .s and .sd files or any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Jim Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Missing .s & .sd files" LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-02 AT 12:58 PM (EST)Problem with picking objects out of other routes is that the author may not have included all the files. If you look at PO&N5, for example, I used stock BNSF signals with Hank's switchstands & distant signals, but since I didn't use any searchlight signals other than the distant searchlight, I didn't include the files for those. I also hacked the bejeezus out of the scripts, which would possibly cause problems if you used the signal dat files out of PO&N5. Bob may have made alterations in Marias 3 as well, so it's always better to find and use the original whenever possible, and the one you're looking for is slsig22a.zip in the file library.
