Installation

This package is provided in .rar compression format. To unpack, use Winrar, 7-Zip or similar and extract the .rwp package, putting it in an easily accessible place such as your desktop. This file can then be installed using the TS2016 Package Manager. 


Description

This is reskin of the Class 172, into a Fictional London Underground, Crossrail, Crossrail (Elizabeth Line version) and TFL.

The reskin is listed in the editor as follows.

Class 172 DMSO / DMSO 2 Crossrail / CrossrailEB / TFL / Underground

Includes a non Driver Version as well of the DMSO, with destinations to choose from.

Instructions

Install the provided .rwp file using the TS2019 Package Manager which can be found by using the Utilities.exe at Steam\steamapps\common\railworks, then....

1, Extracting the AP File (Skip to step 2 if you have already done this)

Newer content from Steam is provided in an .ap file format which contains all of the relevant files. When installing modifications to this content, the required contents of this .ap file have to be unpacked first. This can be done in a number of ways, but I will give instructions using 7-Zip which can be obtained here, for free:  http://www.7-zip.org/  Other archivers such as WinRar should also perform the same task.

Navigate to Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\  and right click on the GoblinLineAssets.ap file, navigate to 7-Zip and click Extract Here. This will then place all of the folders in their correct location and look exactly how the content used to. If you only want to extract the RailVehicles folder for the purposes of installing this reskin, right click, navigate to 7-Zip and Open Archive. You can then select the RailVehicles folder and drag it into the open folder.

2, Copying over the GeoPcDx files

Copy the files named Class172_DMSO.GeoPcDx and Class172_DMSO2.GeoPcDx found at...

Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonOverground\Engine

and paste this into the following locations:-

Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonCrossRail\Engine
Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonCrossRailEB\Engine
Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonTFLRail\Engine
Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonUnderground\Engine

2a - Copying over the Passenger View GeoPcDx file - Class172_passengerview.GeoPcDx

Go back to Assets\DTG\GoblinLine

Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonOverground\PassengerView

and paste this into the following locations:-

Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonCrossRail\PassengerView
Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonTFLRail\PassengerView
Assets\DTG\GoblinLine\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class172\LondonUnderground\PassengerView

If this location contains a blueprints.pak file, delete this. Don't worry, a new one is created when the program is loaded.

Once in game, in order to place this new consist in a route, you need to activate the Class 378 in the object filter by selecting DTG/Class378Pack01

The reskin should now be listed in the editor as described above.
