Krys Emlyn's Railroad Crossing Enhancements

Description
This mod modifies the assets used around railroad crossings on the map to make them a bit more realistic.

- Added additional crossbuck signs on the overhead gantries that are used at railroad crossings
- The large European-style horizontal red/white striped gates have been replaced with smaller 45° diagonal striped gates
- A retroreflective texture shader has been applied to the stripes on the gates and sign faces so they show up better at night in the player's headlights
- The lamp faces of the railroad crossing signals light up and flash in an alternating pattern while the crossings are active
- Additional lights have been added to the gate arms (steady light at the tips and alternating flashing lights in the middle of the gates)
- Fixed the ladders on the gantries to stop near the top of the catwalk grating instead of at the top of the structures
- Added shadow geometry to the 1 Track railroad crossing gantry model (it originally had none!)
- Placed thicker posts on the rural railroad crossing signs that feature yield/stop signs (No one uses a 2x4 for a post!)

Update 12-11-2023:
Removed my Railroad Crossing Ahead sign model edit because SCS has fixed it to be reflective at night and has added a wooden post variant. Properly uploaded this time.

Usage: put it into your mod folder and make sure it is enabled

Smooth lmao

I'll do some talking with Sobes but I doubt SCS will ever go back and fix them properly :C

It appears there is no report about this specific issue, but it is probably a side effect of SCS trying to fix this other bug from 2021: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=302984

Classic SCS

Suppose a bug report is already posted on the forum?

That's on SCS to fix. They did something to the semaphore profile that is used for railroad crossings in Colorado. They have both the single-lane and 2-lane crossing gates piled on top of each other due to how the semaphore profile is configured for the crossings that don't have gantries.

Hey Krys! Freaking love your mod to the moon & back! Was going through Lamar, CO and it seems a few crossings in the area are having model conflicts:
