Advice Needed For Adding A New Cab To The Jr300 Shinkansen Please.

Hi folks.

I have recently downloaded the Sanyo Shinkansen freeware route that goes from Osaka to Okayama and although its an old route. I have got it working and I have made a patch for it to work as it should without problems although the included scenarios don't work properly as they are from the days TS2012.

The problem I am having is getting to get the cabview to work properly although since I linked it up to the S9BL Class 390 Addon that is legacy in itself. I have to say that I am getting mixed results.

JR300 Sanyo Shinkansen.
This is the problem I am having with getting the cab to work properly. Its all squished and small and its supposed to fill the screen like the others. I have to press 5 to get into passenger view and then press 1 for cabview.
This is the Shinkansen that uses the now obsolete SEC Pack cabview.

I am currently experimenting with using the Class 460 cab (above) but I am getting the same results as the player view is behind the cab and not in it! . I am somewhat new to editing bin files but I would appreciate any advice from someone that is more experienced in editing bin files and if neccessary. I can upload the edited bin file for someone to take a look at and point me to the right bits that need to be edited if possible. At least the good news is that I have got the train working in the game again without being invisible anymore! So that's a good start. Just need to give it a new cabview that works without being squished and will work when pressing "1" .

Thanks in advance.

 

When you look in the 300_323.bin file the cab is pointing at the old SEC set now withdrawn
RSC did not make a cab for it so it uses the old Pendolino cab

In <ControlContainerComponent>
Change these lines to what you want

<InteriorCamera>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
<BlueprintSetID>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">RSC</Provider>
<Product d:type="cDeltaString">SECPack</Product>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
</BlueprintSetID>
<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">RailVehicles\Electric\SEC\CabView\SEC Cab Camera.xml</BlueprintID>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
</InteriorCamera>

The old 390 or a new 390 or the 800 might work

 

Ignore the 800/801 as the window blind is stuck down

I used the S9BL Pendo cab by simply changing the lines above but the controls don't work.
The set is driveable using the keyboard but not sure on the actual working controls
Need to look further

The train is set up to use controls with separate power and brake handles but the 390 having a single controller does not work.

 

BritishRail60062 did you try it?

 

Hi there.

Here is the data I have altered on mine.

<ControlContainerComponent>
<cControlContainerBlueprint>
<InteriorInterface>
<cControlContainerBlueprint-cInteriorInterface>
<InteriorGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">S9BL\Class390Addon\RailVehicles\Electric\Class390\Default\CabView\390cab</InteriorGeometryID>
<NumberOfCabs d:type="cDeltaString">eSingleCab</NumberOfCabs>
<InteriorCamera>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
<BlueprintSetID>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">S9BL</Provider>
<Product d:type="cDeltaString">Class390Addonm</Product>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
</BlueprintSetID>
<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">RailVehicles\Electric\Class390\Default\CabView\390 Cab Camera.bin</BlueprintID>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
</InteriorCamera>
<CabOcclusion>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
<BlueprintSetID>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">S9BL</Provider>
<Product d:type="cDeltaString">Class390Addon</Product>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
</BlueprintSetID>
<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Audio\RailVehicles\Electric\Class390\Cab\Class 390 Cab Occlusion.bin</BlueprintID>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
</CabOcclusion>
</cControlContainerBlueprint-cInteriorInterface>
</InteriorInterface>


Hope this helps and apologies for the slow response.

 

Did it work?

 

It shows the cab but at a distance mate.

 

Mine is slightly different to yours

<ControlContainerComponent>
<cControlContainerBlueprint>
<InteriorInterface>
<cControlContainerBlueprint-cInteriorInterface>
<InteriorGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">S9BL\Class390Addon\RailVehicles\Electric\Class390\Default\CabView\[00]390cab</InteriorGeometryID>
<NumberOfCabs d:type="cDeltaString">eSingleCab</NumberOfCabs>

The [00]390cab makes it use the 390cab.GeoPcDx file so you are sat in the Cab
Only being able to use the Keyboard or HUD is a pain and none of the controls work from the mouse.
