Krys Emlyn's Railroad Crossing Enhancements

Description
This mod modifies the assets used around railroad crossings on the map to make them a bit more realistic.

- Added additional crossbuck signs on the overhead gantries that are used at railroad crossings
- The large European-style horizontal red/white striped gates have been replaced with smaller 45° diagonal striped gates
- A retroreflective texture shader has been applied to the stripes on the gates and sign faces so they show up better at night in the player's headlights
- The lamp faces of the railroad crossing signals light up and flash in an alternating pattern while the crossings are active
- Additional lights have been added to the gate arms (steady light at the tips and alternating flashing lights in the middle of the gates)
- Fixed the ladders on the gantries to stop near the top of the catwalk grating instead of at the top of the structures
- Added shadow geometry to the 1 Track railroad crossing gantry model (it originally had none!)
- Placed thicker posts on the rural railroad crossing signs that feature yield/stop signs (No one uses a 2x4 for a post!)

Update 6-28-2025:
- Re-exported all models to current file formats

Usage: put it into your mod folder and make sure it is enabled

Thanks for the update! :steamthumbsup:

Sorry for the wait. This package has been updated to current file formats, so it should have less issues going forward. The files were about 2 years old or older, so I'm not surprised that 1.55 had issues converting them on the fly.

I'll take a look at the models in this and see about doing an update, since the last time I updated this was December 2023.

In the 1.55 open beta, this mod causes a crash (I removed it and could not reproduce the crash), I experienced the game crash near the Tulsa Freight depot with an error related to an outdated model version that the game reported was too old to convert

@Gienio59, This is self explanatory. If you are experiencing texture issues such lights(flares) not working or checkerboard like boxes covering lights(flares) the easiest trouble shoot is to start disabling mods 1-by-1 or in groups until you find which mod(s) are conflicting with other mods.

I run over 90+ mods usually switch between JBX and PNG without encountering conflicting issues using this mod. Disable any graphics mods then sit on a busy crossing to determine what works and what doesn't.

So what we need to do? Only uninstal graphic mod? Or we can do something without uninstalling?

@TimmyBigTime After certain digging, I managed to find it was the Realistic Graphics Mod that Krys mentioned that was causing this. I disabled it and it then the lights started flashing.
I even tested with just that mod on its own and still gave the same result with the lights not flashing which is rather bizarre since I see other flashing lights near certain stop sign intersections and they work fine.
Surprised me that I couldn't find anything online about it given that quite a few people use the graphics mod and that nothing else had been mentioned about it or picked up on it

@FlammableSupernova I've been having the same issue for several weeks, now. The only mod I can think of that would be causing this is the Ruda flares mod. However, I removed it and it didn't fix the issue. Like you, I just can't find any helpful information on troubleshooting why the railroad crossing lights no longer illuminate.

Interesting, Thank you. I'll have a look into that

The missing flashing lights will be caused by a flare, lighting, or graphics mod that you are using. I recall seeing one posting on the SCS Forums where a realistic graphics mod was causing the left turn arrows on traffic signals to not work properly.
