Class 321 Southeastern Reskins (DTG Version)

********
Notes
********

If you have installed a prior version of this pack you will need to copy over the Geo files again, if you don't this will give you issues spikey things (possibly), and may not work. 

***********

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 321 First Capital Connect, into three Southeastern Liveries, including Southeastern Grey Stripe, Blue Stripe and a Dark Blue livery (based but not 100% on the new 375 livery)

The reskin is listed in the editor as follows.

Class 321 DTCO Southeastern (or DTSO or MSO or TSOL) (Blue)
Class 321 DTCO Southeastern Blue (or DTSO or MSO or TSOL) (Bluestripe)
Class 321 DTCO Southeastern White (or DTSO or MSO or TSOL) (GreyStripe - Yellow Doors)

Includes a non Driver Version of each

Instructions

Install the provided .rwp file using the TS2016 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\RSC\Class321Pack02\  and right click on the Class321Pack02Assets.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 Class321_DTCO.GeoPcDx, Class321_DTSO.GeoPcDx, Class321_MSO.GeoPcDx and Class321_TSOL.GeoPcDx found at...

Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\Default\Engine\

and paste this into the following location:-

Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\Southeastern\Engine\
Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\SoutheasternBlue\Engine\
Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\SoutheasternWhite\Engine\

Then copy the file named MSO_Interior.GeoPcDx found at...

Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\Default\PassengerView\

and paste this into the following locations:-

Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\Southeastern\PassengerView\
Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\RailVehicles\Class321\SoutheasternWhite\PassengerView\

Go back to Assets\RSC\Class321Pack02\

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 321 in the object filter by selecting RSC/Class

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