Can you remove AWS Magnets from a route?

I think it is safer to modify the script of the AWS, if you don't mend the global effect of that. It is non-destructive and easily reversed. Messing with tracks.bin made many people unhappy, although I don't say that it does not work.

What I mean is this:
Go to folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\railworks\Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailNetwork\signals\UK Colour Light
and open
UK AWS.lua
using some text editor (not MS Word or something fancy, Notepad will do).

Search for string SendConsistMessage.
At the start of each line containing it, insert two dashes.
For example

Code: Select all

				Call( "SendConsistMessage", AWS_MESSAGE, "clear" )

becomes

Code: Select all

--				Call( "SendConsistMessage", AWS_MESSAGE, "clear" )

Do this for all lines containing SendConsistMessage. In my copy, they are three, but their count is not important. What matters is that you get them all. Then, the AWS ramp will not interact with any train. Still, it will play its role in the interaction of signals which may be complex and no one wants to interfere with that.

You should be able to remove them without any problems but do it on a cloned version of the route to avoid upset and steam overwriting. Boy is that a time consuming process though!

Id tweak the AWS script as suggested. You could disable AWS for specific locos as an alternative in the bin file.

Another option is to have the head out position be the left view and the inside is the right view so you don't miss any warnings. That wont cure your tinnitus though

So......... no-ones done it yet then ?

Obviously I have or I wouldn't have been able to write the tutorial?
