Tutorial: From 3DC to RW3 - Making a Wayside Signal

[PapaXpress]

Thanks, and I meant to say earlier, that route looks pretty sweet! Looks like we will have some passenger duties

Have you read through my blog?

The SCL also used a version..

Sorry, but a wink won't work without a picture

Ok, here's the one in Apex.
The "doll arm" had 2 funny orange lights in the SCL days according to my research, don't know the purpose.

Wow, the aspects are touching. I will need to make this a separate head. Right now I have no idea how to make the doll arm function. I think some here at RWA has done it though (I hope they see this thread).

Its on the list...

[SMMDigital]

Just a suggestion - make the doll arm the Third head. To make it function, you could make two orange lenses and name them orange and green. It would stay in Approach (and be treated as such) for "Clear" and "Approach", but go dark for "Restricted" . Or, you could make it just an orange lens, and it would light only when the third head shows an Approach indication. You would need to specify it's function in your signal manual.

Maybe you should talk to someone who actually knows about signalling, like Jovet, to figure out what that one was for.

Just a quick update. The signal scripts from the RS Wiki are fubar. I had to copy the LUAs from the Kuju US assets folder to make it work properly. I informed SMM of this and the tutorial will be updated in the near future.

I started to repost this tutorial:

Does anyone have a saved version of this? I found the HTML on Wayback Machine but the pix were not captured.

[Dakota]

Gone. Does anyone have this captured as a website tree or PDF? I went to the Wayback Machine in 2012 and got the HTML for all 4 pages, but only one of the many images were ever captured by WBM :-(

I did a cursory computer search this morning but did not find the old site archives. It is possible that it is stowed on a backup drive. I'll try to search for it there over the next couple of days. However, if you are searching for that site for information pertaining to scripting, you will find none. That tutorial was made to show building techniques for 3DCanvas, which BTW is a dreadful program to try to master. Use Blender instead.

I don’t believe this was ever finished. That’s why you can’t find it. You might ask Dan (papa express). He is still around every now and then.

[PapaXpress]

I have the parts somewhere. Right now I just don't have the time.

Thanks guys. I am asking because I am just now wrapping up a yuge refactoring and changes to the signal scripts to implement the 2018 Union Pacific rules. I'd like to see more of the old code, which I have studied deeply.

[PapaXpress]

If its the code you need, I think that is all in RCAP.
