Need help to edit a Catenary Mod

[Spitzkligger 0]

Hi. I need help to edit an existing mod, or better, a skilled Modder that do the follow possible....

 

I installed the Rail_Catenary_Mod_V3 with the fadet Catenarys. So for my setting i prefer a other style of Catenarys. I´m using the SFBT_Oberleitungen and set they tile by tile. So far it´s okay but one side of my railways is blocked with the Catenary Lot. There is no space for hedges or something else ... :-(

Is there a way to change the Models with the others of the SFBT mod? This is only for my own personel use!

 

Please somebody help me , i would be very happy.

Easiest solution to your problem would be to make a prop override rather than editing each individual T21 file to use another prop. The downside of this approach is that the old props would never appear even on lots, only the new ones will - I suspect in a case like this that won't be an issue, but its worth knowing all the same. The other thing you'll need to watch for is that the new props are in the same orientation as the old ones by default, if they were not this could be modified using the model tweaker or you could resort to editing all those T21s.

 

To make them you'll need to be able to use the Reader. Firstly you need to open the original cantenary props and find out what TGI's correspond to each prop used and make a note of them. Then open the new props you wish to use as replacements, make a copy of the prop exemplars (one for each of the props you will replace) and paste these into a new blank dat. Edit the TGI of each exemplar so that it matches the corresponding prop you wish to replace. Save this file and ensure it loads after the original mod and your new props will now show instead.

 

I think an example might help here:

 

Say I have new bus shelter and bench props I wish to replace others in-game, the old bus shelter prop has the imaginary TGI 0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000 and the bench is 0x11111111,0x11111111,0x11111111. So I take a copy of the prop exemplars of both my new bus shelter and bench and in a new file change the TGIs to 0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000 for the bus shelter and 0x11111111,0x11111111,0x11111111 for the bench. If the file loads after the old props it will override them provided we use the same TGI.
