Alpha 7 - Signal Surveyor does not recognise Token Signal

Description of the Bug
Place Token signal next to line.
Right click with Signal Surveyor
Message "Not a valid signal."

Expected behavior
Should start to link the Token Signals.

Environment

  • Version [e.g. Railcraft 12.0.0-alpha-7]
  • Forge version: 1.12.2-14.23.5.2784-

Additional context
I was going to test that we could now "reset" token signal areas when they get stuck "on". E.g. a cart enters but never leaves. Has this been addressed yet, by any chance?

No, and there isn't much chance that it ever can be. It would require building a graph of all the tracks in the area and testing each track area individually. Possibly I guess, but very annoying and costly.

Or do you mean something like hitting them with a crowbar to "unstuck" them?

Sorry, I left out the crucial word: manual ;-)
There should be a way to manually reset a token ring group back to green in the case where it gets set to red permanently by a disappearing cart. Otherwise you have to unlink/relink all the token signals back together (which is a pain).
Doing "something" with a signal surveyor to just one of the signals in the group to reset them to green.

Should I open a separate issue for this?
[I totally understand that an automatic reset is not on the cards, nor would we expect it...]

Yeah, make a separate issue. Should be easy enough to add something.
