(mod) Fixing The Station Lighting

Come on DTG get your fingers out, look at what londonmidland is doing.

 

The power of the LED signal…

For the first time, I’ve made LED signals in TSW extremely bright, as they are per reality. This makes them viewable from long distances, as well as giving them a nice glow.

Don’t quote me on this but I believe the reason DTG has never done this is because they don’t want to risk blinding players with how bright they are. However, I am all for realism so have made them how they look and react as per real life.

Screenshots below show the new LED signal visuals and colours for ECW:

 

Geez that looks fantastic. So wish we could get mods on Series X.

 

If someone like londonmidland can do this with a few tools could you imagine what the modding community could do with a creation tool kit for example?

We know DTG would never do that but we never got a plausible reason why? I bet 'embarrassment' would play a part.

 

It's a pity that this MOD is now broken in TSW3, causing the game to crash to desktop/debug. Without it, the GCC route is unplayable unless in daylight hours - there is no ambient light on the routes and station platforms are almost pitch black. Would be great to see this MOD become TSW3 compatible but, I appreciate that these things take time and a lot of effort for an individual modder..

 

Hi. If this route gets upgraded to TSW 3 lighting standards, then I’ll possibly consider re-making this mod again. Thanks.
