The original/initial SC4D LEX upload contained 2 separate uploads with 2 *.exe installers (2 each for GLR/EL-Rail and Passenger Rail automatas), but during the file restoration efforts to SC4Evermore, these packages have been combined.
The SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC VDK High Speed Rail Trains by vester contains the following 2 formerly available High Speed Rail and Passenger Rail automata mods:
- VDK Train Mods Vol 07 - High Speed Rail Trains
This package includes High Speed Rail Rail mods for 10 trains from Japan and Taiwan.
The trains will run on your HSRP rail network, on your Hybrid Rail (HRW) network or monorail networks.
Most of these were inpired by real trains, some are color variations. Some of them are inspired by the Shinkansen trains. - VDK Train Mods Vol 15 - High Speed Rail and Passenger Rail Trains
This package includes automata mods for the passenger rail and high speed rail network.
At the moment it contains mods for 6 colors schemes.
Some of them existed in reality, some did not, but they are included here for completeness, and to allow you, the user, the most flexibility in your game.
InstallationExtract the z___BSC MODs parent folder into your Plugins".
Due to first the Project ZIP efforts, then the SC4D LEX Restoration efforts in order to make the folder structure more unified the original install location (VDK Automatas BSC) and the file names have been changed. Types of mods: The following lists types of mods and types of cars. They are not the same.There are two different kind of mods:
There two different kinds rail network:
A color scheme for one rail network holds the following files:
You will need to copy at least one replacement mods for engine and car (Rep engine Car).
Optional file: Each mods is made of two or three files:- Engine Car: This file replaces the engine and the cars of the trains. Beside that either: - XCar: Gives you an additinal car with pantograph. It connects the trains with the overhead wire. or the following two files: - 1XCarP: Gives you an additinal car with pantograph. It connects the trains with the overhead wire. - 3XCars: Gives you three additinal cars (without pantograph). The XCar files is optional files that gives you extra cars. The files will be installed for the mod you selected. You can remove the XCar files from plug-ins. Please be aware that the problem with "ghost trains" as state below in Known problems will get worse with the numbers of cars installed. These train mods need to load after the Network Addon Modd (NAM). Make sure they are in a folder that will be further down your plugin list, alphabetically, than the NAM. |
Uninstallation: To uninstall these files, simply delete them from your plugins folder. |
Known problems: When using custom automata mods the game will occasionally show "ghost trains" just after loading (trains showing up just outlined, or only partly visible).This is normal, and nothing to worry about. The more train mods you have installed, the more this phenomena will be noticed. Sometimes it will persist even after the initial loading of the map. |
