Creation Sharing Help Needed Making A Train Sub On Existing Timetable

so i built a powered mk1 slam door emu and cannot figure how to make it sub into the BML timetable to replace some of the class 377-4s any help would be great

 

Download the Czechtrains timetable de-cooker plugin for the editor, de-cook the timetable , create a plugin, find the deccoked timetable in the original route content folder, move to your new plugin, open timetable , find a service you want to change , create a formation (based on the original is a place to start) change the original formation for you new formation, complile, save and simulate , the test in editor, if good then cook and pak......easy! , we definitely need more 1st gen Emus in the game, good luck!

 

i decooked the BML timetable but it doesnt have any of the class 377 formations just 387s which i dont want to replace yet

 

Very interesting project! I know how to solve this issue, it worked for me. What you want to do is copy the 377/4 rvd and frm and swap the RVV, RVM and RVA for your ones in it, and then put in your new rvds into the frm you copied. This always works for me, you can configure it to show the proper data later just make sure to not touch the substitution data. Hope this helps. Also, can you maybe send a picture of your EMU? I am very curious to see what it is like, if you want I would be happy to offer help

 

in the editor it now says that it can sub the 377-4 but ingame it doesnt seem to replace anything. and how do i make it playable on the train select list?

 

is it something to do with the isabstract tag?

 

this is ingame in the spawn a train menu Class 421 SN i can spawn it somewhere but still cannot make it a selectable service before the route loads

 

Are you sure you are making it based on RVDs from london-brighton and not east coastway?

 

yep the rvds i copied require the dlc LBN_SN_Class377-4 which i have

 

Make sure the all DLCs are included in the distribution, otherwise it wont work. Make sure the definition is swappable of the unit

 

The unit car definitions are "selectable" , the whole formation is "legacy selectable", formation is drivable, driving car is selectable as drivable. And is defined as an multiple unit? Using DC?

 

i can select it now as a variant of 377-4 but the game crashed when i loaded a service. just checked and the rva is wrong recooking now

 

its still crashing when i try load it before the route loads but if i spawn it on foot game does not crash

 

recooking again deleted all the important files and redone them with the new knowledge

 

cooking again to try get the full consist subbed

 

tried everything and it still only spawns the leading car. if i upload a uncooked version somewhere can anyone take a look?
