The barriers still open a little late to my taste. Can they be closed even sooner?
Maybe build in a setting to adjust ourselves?

Uh, have any of you noticed how if you zoom in against a railroad crossing, once it begins closing the barriers, and the bell starts sounding, zooming out will result in the audio being the exact same. Same happens if the crossing has already begun closing and you then zoom towards the crossing, then there will be no audio. Is there a mod that fixes this?

I hated how the barriers closed so slowly. Thank You So Much!

AH, another person who noticed the slow crossing gate. Thank you for the mod to fix that annoying gate. I can tolerate a whole train flipping in place to go back where it came from but a slow gate really drives me crazy! I am being serious. Thank you!

is this needed in Aug 2022?

the crossings are going down before the train, but they still drive right through after the train has passed, can you fix that? (also might be because im using modded us grade crossings)

good mod, also is there any way to shut off the sound of the birds? I think is on the trees sound files wave, I can't find in my CPU the TF2 files dome how they are not show like other games

What's the load order of this mod? It's still a bit sluggish and only fully close when the train is halfway through.

V should be fixed in the next game update, fully superseding this mod. unless they somehow mess it up.

Loved the mod but barriers sometimes are to slow to close before train has crossed them, also still to slow in lifting causing some higher vehicles to run through them

Could a train be made to stop before they open?

Not really fixed by the last update, cars are still passing as soon as the barrier lifts and bump it, the mod clearly is better !

this issue is fixed in the latest game update, the mod should be labelled deprecated

thx for this mod. i m angry when cars pas to early. why urban games don t fix that?

Finally! I wait for this fix for a long time! Thankyou dear author!

New game update will fix this.

Not really, the triggers for the vehicles seem hardcoded. Although IRL people start driving as soon as the barriers open so not really unrealistic

Nice work, a lot better, can you modify this mod so that the cars actual wait until the red light is out and the barriers fully open ?

The mods that i use that might confilct (idk if thats a thing in TPF2) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1976946549&searchtext=crossinghttps://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1945239451&searchtext=bahn%C3%BCbergang https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1976947639&searchtext=bahn%C3%BCbergang

Would this conflict with other crossing mods? It seems like this is not working for me quite right. Could u pls investigate that? :)

There is a single sound file, cant remember where exactly, just have a look

Where can i find the sounds to delete them and change them to the german once?

thanks man i was dreading having to go in to the game code and edit it my self

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. It annoyed me too. looking forward to seeing this in action :)

Thank you very much.

Thanks for creating and sharing, I noticed this and thought it odd that my train shot through as the barriers were starting to drop! nice to have them working correctly now
Happy New Year!

The German one also changes the scripts so they will likely conflict. The sound however is just one file so could potentially be swapped

Is there any way, to change the sounds? I've installed another mod, witch changes the sound to the german once. It will be great, when there is a way, that your mod only changes the scripts :)

A friend just bought me the game, and I figured I'd browse the workshop while it downloads. This is the first ever mod I've subscribed to for TF2. :)

@lodewijk Yes, in the USA it is actually a federal law that whistles/horns must be activated when approaching a grade crossing. I believe the practice is the same in Canada and Mexico. There are certain exemptions but it is the general rule.

Is there no US variant?

It depends on a country I guess. In Poland for example train driver HAVE TO sound the horn before each road crossing.

I've heard trains use their horns at crossings here in the UK but it's not overly common, seems to depend on time of day and location.

@richardaandre why blow the horn when they approach a crossing? ive been in nearly every european country, and that does not happen anywhere. this is something unique to the US and Canada.

literally never heard a train in my country use a horn or whistle when just crossing a crossover.

i mean the crossover has lights, and a alarm bell for a reason.

I hated that too barriers not closed b4 the train goes thru

I haven't tried this yet but I agree with everything you said about the crossings. They should work better in the base game and the trains should also blow their horns approaching a crossing.

Thanks for the mod.

Thanks a lot! :-*
Yesterday I saw it the first time (a truck was rushing throogh a opening barrier) and it was really annoying. I´m sad that a mod is needed (instead of the right programming).

I appreciate your work and try it NOW!

Thanks you for making the world a little better.

Right, changed the bell to an English one, which I think sounds generic enough to pass for a bunch of other countries too.

I have thought about changing the bell, but as they all share the same sound file everyone is going to want something different, plus I'll need a good quality recording. I was looking for a generic enough sounding bell.

@femas theres a mod with german bell crossing sounds

Thank you very much!!! I did find it very eye twitchingly annoying lol

Do you plan on making bell sounds for the crossings?

great, thanks mate.

THANKS! :)

Great, thx

THANKS!

you are an absolute legend my friend. One of the Best Mods out there, finally i can look at the crossings again without having to rage. Thank you so much.
