HST Sound on Rear Power Car

[ghawk2005]

Hi all.

I have downloaded the AP valenta sound pack from their website and love the rear power car modification. The rear engine screaming away is much more realistic.

My question is how do i now transfer the same features to addon HST's specifically the Great Western livery that was released a long time ago for rail simulator. It is my favourite livery and would love to be able to use the new code that is applied to the default stock on this model.

Could anyone advise as to how this would be done? I am fairly ok with editing .bin / xml files so any instructions on what code to copy from which files in the default HST would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Gary

Hi there

To add rear power car functionality it's quite a faf but I'll try and explain.
1) In the class43.bin file of the power car you want to give rear power car functionality, find the line:

Code: Select all

<TransformName d:type="cDeltaString">light_general_fault_lit</TransformName>

and the line:

Code: Select all

<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class 43\Cab\Class 43 Cab Sound.xml

2) Now highlight everything between those lines including the lines themselves and copy and paste the following:

Code: Select all

									<TransformName d:type="cDeltaString">light_general_fault_lit</TransformName>
									<ThresholdType d:type="cDeltaString">Value</ThresholdType>
								</cControlContainerBlueprint-cInteriorVisibilityObject>
							</InterfaceElements>
						</cControlContainerBlueprint-cControlValue>
						<cControlContainerBlueprint-cControlValue d:id="15354344">
							<ControlName d:type="cDeltaString">Driven</ControlName>
							<DefaultValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</DefaultValue>
							<MinimumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</MinimumValue>
							<MaximumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000F03F" d:precision="string">1.0000</MaximumValue>
							<BriefDescription d:type="cDeltaString"></BriefDescription>
							<DetailedDescription d:type="cDeltaString"></DetailedDescription>
							<ApplyToConsist d:type="cDeltaString">eTrue</ApplyToConsist>
							<InterfaceElements/>
						</cControlContainerBlueprint-cControlValue>
						<cControlContainerBlueprint-cControlValue d:id="15032672">
							<ControlName d:type="cDeltaString">RPMDelta</ControlName>
							<DefaultValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</DefaultValue>
							<MinimumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</MinimumValue>
							<MaximumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000408F40" d:precision="string">1000.0000</MaximumValue>
							<BriefDescription d:type="cDeltaString"></BriefDescription>
							<DetailedDescription d:type="cDeltaString"></DetailedDescription>
							<ApplyToConsist d:type="cDeltaString">eTrue</ApplyToConsist>
							<InterfaceElements/>
						</cControlContainerBlueprint-cControlValue>
					</ControlValues>
				</cControlContainerBlueprint>
			</ControlContainerComponent>
			<ContainerComponent>
				<cEntityContainerBlueprint>
					<Children>
						<cEntityContainerBlueprint-sChild d:id="15676536">
							<ChildName d:type="cDeltaString">CabSound</ChildName>
							<BlueprintID>
								<iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
									<BlueprintSetID>
										<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
											<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">Kuju</Provider>
											<Product d:type="cDeltaString">RailSimulator</Product>
										</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
									</BlueprintSetID>
									<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class 43\Cab\Class 43 Cab Sound.xml

3) In the same file, find the text below:

Code: Select all

							<ControlName d:type="cDeltaString">Regulator</ControlName>
							<DefaultValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</DefaultValue>
							<MinimumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0.0000</MinimumValue>
							<MaximumValue d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000F03F" d:precision="string">1.0000</MaximumValue>
							<BriefDescription d:type="cDeltaString">Throttle</BriefDescription>
							<DetailedDescription d:type="cDeltaString">Throttle</DetailedDescription>
							<ApplyToConsist d:type="cDeltaString">eFalse</ApplyToConsist>

4) Change the line:

Code: Select all

<ApplyToConsist d:type="cDeltaString">eFalse</ApplyToConsist>

to

Code: Select all

<ApplyToConsist d:type="cDeltaString">eTrue</ApplyToConsist>

5) Now you have to edit all the .bin files for all the Mk3s you use in your consist. So for every file, highlight the text:

Code: Select all

			</ContainerComponent>
		</cWagonBlueprint>
	</Blueprint>
</cBlueprintLoader>

and copy and paste the following:

Code: Select all

			</ContainerComponent>
			<ScriptComponent>
				<cScriptComponentBlueprint>
					<Name d:type="cDeltaString">Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\Default\Mk3TSO\wag_script_drb</Name>
				</cScriptComponentBlueprint>
			</ScriptComponent>
		</cWagonBlueprint>
	</Blueprint>
</cBlueprintLoader>

After that, hopefully it should all work fine!

Hi Richard

I very much appreciate your reply, and time/effort of putting all that info there for me. I have tried this all twice now, and it still hasn't worked. I have checked that the files are all there that the .bin files are referring to, the class 43 cab sound.xml etc etc. This HST was released quite along time ago for Rail Simulator, would that have anything to do with it? Do you happen to have a copy of it on your system?

Thanks for that, I recommend you edit your post to take out the @ symbol in your e-mail address though or you may become a target for spam bots!

Couldn't agree more. Was just reading through and was floored with what Richard is doing for his customer. Excellent favor he is doing for him.

it won't let me edit my post, changing my email address soon anyway when i leaVe to go to college in 2 weeks. if you have any trouble with that email, you can use my other one which is "garypiano 'at' blueyonder.co.uk" hehe

Could you let me know when you have sent the GW HST files so that i can monitor my inbox properly. I am sure my ISP (virgin media) wouldn't block any file attachments but you never know. Zip files should be ok surely?

Cheers
