can you make this mod also for transport fever 2? it was a nice mod to make the trainstations more real. thnx anyway

Use this mod immediately after you build the station and before you connect tracks. Otherwise it will take the name of the nearest street rather than the name of the staions. Anyone else had this situation?

umm, i know how to change a station name sign, but not platform number sign, help?

Ah - I'll try that!

@Pdguru You must do it before finished it.

I cannot select a sign once finished.

@Pdguru Click and rename like renaming a station

Norfolk_Chris - How do you "manually rename the sign text"?

@Pduru You can override the automatic nearest location selection. Manually rename the sign text to anything you want starting the string with the # symbol.

Takes a bit of working out but I got it working - great tool! It will Place a sign anywhere (not just platforms, which is good!) PS: Still can't work out how to rename a sign though.

If it helps others, this is what I do:
1. Open the sign menu from the train depot menu button.
2. Select the sign button (named Utopia in the pic). Place the sign. Use the options to get what you want - I suggest setting track snapping to NO so you can place sign wherever you want.
3. Once you place the sign, the window closes. Immediately click on the train depot button again, and then click on the sign image with the check mark.
4. Sign will now show nearest named location. SO: Check the location is called exactly what you want on the sign. You can't change it later and deleting it is a pain.

@OiseauBlizzard You can have a main line and a second line in the CJK version of the sign

Is there a way to display a station name as two rows on a single sign? Would be useful with compound names. Great mod though, one of the big things I needed in this game

Would it be possible to add some additional background colours? Maroon, green and brown would be perfect alternatives for UK station signs.

The game is showing as build 18381, and my update settings are set to automatic.

@SP2795 Have you the final patch installed (latest version of the game)

It's not working for me. The finalizer says no parameters, and i'm just left with a question mark on the sign. Even renaming with # in front doesnt work.

@Schweizerleague when you use the finalizer it's normal to slowdown since there's a search on the map, otherwise it should not

does it work ok to you guys? when i use it, everything is so slow after it. when i want to make new train station the game is loading for maybe 2 minutes

@Norfolk_Chris Delete by the tool from the game

Could you please describe how you delete 'part by part'?

@Norfolk_Chris The delete function is designed to delete all since it takes lot's of efforts.., for one sign you need to delete part by part....

I'm having a problem with the 'delete' function; it's too powerful! It not only deletes the sign that you want to remove, it deletes all the signs in the surrounding area. This happens typically when you make a mistake in one the signs in a station, the delete function not only removes the offending signs but also removes all the signs on the station.
Could the effective radius be reduced?

Sorry, it's working fine now.

@Norfolk_Chris Works here.

Since the latest 'thankyou' patch the '#' fix option seems not to work anymore.

Please make Russian Railway Signs on this engine

Can you make a poles black? Or give us a chance to choose its colour? Thank you in advance :)

Love it! So good to be able to add signs to stations or, I guess, anywhere else I fancy. :)

It may be that I don't quite understand all the options but I am having a little difficulty with knowing which is left or right on the combined signs. If I want two signs on a platform, one at either end I have been using track snapping to make sure all the signs on a pole line up. So, I place the sign at one end of the platform then, I go to the other end of the platform, swing the little bit of track round so the pole sits on the platform but when the text is inserted I'm never quite sure which side is left or right so when I use the finisher at least one of the signs has the numbers on the wrong side. :(

Would it be possible to indicate by using 'L' and 'R' or '1' and '2' instead of the '?' so it would be easier to know which side is which?

If that makes sense? :)

Just tried it and now I can add custom text! Thanks so much for working on a fix! This is gonna make my game even better now.

@trainzer24 If you are using combined sign, #|Teststation will give you a sign marked "Teststation " and a pole one row, higher that it. #Teststation maybe what you expected, but if you just want to import a station name on the sign, you don't need to do anything just put it there then use the finalizer. btw, the | sign means nothing to a station name sign, it means a new row only for combined signs.

It works now, thanks for the great work

" #|Teststation " Is it correct that way ?

@trainzer24 have you clicked the finalizer?

@davidrussell52, the position of the pipe sign "|" depends on your keyboard layout. but it's not an obligation to use it I put it there just to make the first row blank

I also tested that, I set the #, then the station name, but unfortunately only the "?" on the sign.
Livetext is subscribed, where is the error.

I have tried every combination to make numbered signs and none of them work,on your original instructions you place a straight line after the # key but i cannot find which keystroke that is.

@davidrussell52 There's no limit of signs, each signs works indenpendently. For combined signs, place combined signs first then type for example #1,2 to have two signs side by side and finalize it.

Is it only to be used as one sign per station, or did you mean to let us put a station name sign on every platform, if the answer is on every platform, then it does not do it, plus up to now I cannot get the double sign to diplay two numbers, but think that I am not using the right starter combination, as I do not think I am using the right combination after the #, which key makes the line after it please, I have tried a few but to no avail.

Thanks, now working as expected ;-) correct station name get injected

@Norfolk_Chris I think I will add an option to select this, since it's evident that you can use this sign everywhere.

In that case the names must have come from adjacent tram/bus stops. (The game treats them as stations.) This is still a problem as the sign is supposed to be a railway station sign. Perhaps we need a method of specifying the specific station that the sign is to be taken from?

@Norfolk_Chris Since the road is built as a station? Normally there's no name to a road

Tried on my other savegame.
On the first two stations the station name was inserted correctly. On third station the name of an adjacent road was inserted.

There's still a problem. I've tried using it again one of my savegames, problem this time was that instead of inserting the station name it inserted the name of the road adjoining the station.

Thanks! It now works on my mini map.

@Enzojz Problem solved, thank you. Now all I can suggest is choosing which station type it picks. Example, only railway stations...

@davidrussell52 Sorry fixed

@Norfolk_Chris Ok, tried it, crashed, and found my ignorance, sorry. Fixed.

sorry just tried it with 4k x 4k flat map , put one station in the top corner placed sign and when the finalizer pressed the program crashed out

@Norfolk_Chris It's quiet strange
