Zizo Railroad Signals Enhanced

Description
This is a custom railroad signal made for better readability, even from a distance.

This signal is controlled on the usual frequency 440 by a boolean (on/off) signal on composite channel 1, but it is also able to be controlled directionally with a custom railroad switcher. With that system you'll be able to only switch signals facing towards you, whilst leaving the other ones untouched as well as forcing them to switch either to the left or to the right.

It is not necessarily a realistic sign but it merges different signal styles from real life ones.

Note that the required item linked is not actually necessary, this works with normal radio controls too.


Installation:
Disable the default rail signal addon and enable this one.

Features:
  • RGB Lights, red and white, with yellow blinking warning lights while transitioning.
  • Better lights readability from a distance, since not using the poorly rendered indicator lights.
  • Physical robotic arm that moves to indicate left or right (L/R)
  • Works well even in multiplayer as if the lights desync, the physical robotic arm will always signal the right direction.
  • Works with default radio controls (440).
  • Works manually with a button.
  • Works directionally with a special remote controller: only the signals facing the opposite direction you are facing will switch.
  • Their state can be switched either to the left or to the right intentionally, so if for instance you want to go to the left all switches already to the left will stay, while the others will change their position.

Hello @Masterssine, thank you for your comment. I've checked that signal and it is in the correct position for me. You mean the last signal on Sawyer, heading to Camodo?
Maybe some glitch occurred while creating your game, and it was positioned wrongly.

Anyways the default signal positions weren't touched with the creation of this addon, only the signal itself, that is why I think something might have occurred with your game while creating the map at first launch.

Greetings, i am having a very unfortunate bug. One of your Railroad Signals is too close to the rails so that my train collides with it. It's when i am coming from Sawyer Island to the Main Island. So right after that very long bridge connecting sawyer island and the main island right before you are on the main island again. The railroad signal is also floating in the air so i'm not sure if it is bugged for me or if it's supposed to be there. Also my train is not very big or anything it just seems like the signal is not supposed to be there.

I know you probably dont have time to react and check every single comment but i am using some of your mods and they are very cool and i am glad people like you make them to make the game more enjoyable so tanks for that!!!

I can fix the problem myself by switching to the left lane i just have to go all the way back before the bridge.

when you get back into stormworks, could you make a variant that works with NSO worlds?

thank you. i guess i'm a bit upset with things as well. mostly because of my difficulty understanding how to build a MC and the logic involved. this old brain just doesn't pick up things as easily as it used to. i studied logic and logical fallacies when i was younger so i thought dealing with logical systems would come easily to me. sadly, the two are quite different.

Hello @Nerd^3(USA), I wasn't quitting but I was showing my discontent with the current game state in general. It's all back now, there is no point on punishing the community.

how i missed your reply, i don't know. old age, probably. lol
reason i asked is i thought i read somewhere that you were quitting SW and disabling all your content. nonetheless, thanks for the reply. much appreciated.

It all works
Nerd^3(USA) 31 Mar, 2024 @ 4:54am 
is it true that none of your SW content still works?

Hello @Milkman, it does.

I feel like stormworks been a little bit dead recently, so I gotta ask, does this mod still work?
