SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC VDK Train Mods Vol05 and Vol08 Japanese El-Rail and Passanger R SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC VDK Train Mods Vol05 and Vol08 Japanese El-Rail and Passanger Rails

The original/initial SC4D LEX upload contained 2 separate uploads with 4 *.exe installers (2 each for GLR/EL-Rail and Passenger Rail automatas), but during the file restoration efforts to SC4Evermore, these packages have been combined.
The BSC VDK Train Mods Vol05 (A+B) and Vol08 Japanese El-Rail and Passanger Rails V1 contains the following 2 formerly available Passenger Rail and GLR/El-Rail automata mods:

  • VDK Train Mods Vol 05 - Japanase El-Rail, Passanger Rails
    This package includes mods for 22 japanese trains. Most of these were inpired by real Japanese Trains, some are color variations.
    The first 4 mods are updated versions of APTX's train mods. Nightlights have been added.
  • VDK Train Mods Vol 08 - Japanase El-Rail, Passanger Rails v2
    This package includes elevated rail and passenger rail mods for 24 trains from Japan.

From both packages you will find El-Rail Mods (EL) and Passenger Train mods (PR).

Bear in mind, following the original volume numbering system during the overall VDK Train mod sets, this mod contains the Volume 05 Train Mod [Japanese Passenger Rails v1] and the Volume 05 GLR Mod [Japanese El-Rail v1].

Installation

Extract the z___BSC MODs parent folder into your Plugins". 
It's gonna install the following paths with two additional subfolders at the end (both for GLR Tram Mods and Train Mods):

  • Z___BSC MODs/VDK Automata/VDK GLR Tram Mod/
    • From the "Primary Engine Mod (Replacement)" folder, pick only one DAT (VDK GLR Vol## [...] EL Engine Car v2.dat - This is the main tram mod) file. This download will not work with any other EL/GLR train mods installed! Make sure that this mod is loaded after the Network Addon Mod (the provided z___BSC MODs folder actually ensure this), otherwise the new UDI icons won't show up.
    • From the "Secondary Engine Mod (Addon)" folder, pick also only one DAT (VDK GLR Vol##l[...] EL xCar v2.dat) file for adding additional trams to your el-trail/GLR network. For the best result choose one with the same name as your main tram mod. 
  • Z___BSC MODs/VDK Automata/VDK Train Mods
    • From the "Primary Engine Mod (Replacement)" folder, pick only one DAT (VDK Train Vol## [...] PR Engine Car v2.dat - This is the main train mod) file. This download will not work with any other Passenger Train mods installed! Make sure that this mod is loaded after the Network Addon Mod (the provided z___BSC MODs folder will actually ensure this), otherwise the new UDI icons won't show up.
    • From the "Secondary Engine Mod (Addon)" folder, pick also only one DAT (VDK Train Vol##l[...] PR xCar v2.dat) file for adding additional trains to your rail  network. For the best result choose one with the same name as your main train mod. 

You can only have one El-Rail and one Passenger Train mod installed at a time from this package. If more than one mod is installed, only the last mod that is loaded will show. To get the mod to work properly it needs to be loaded after the Network Addon Modd. You can do this by installing  the mod in a subfolder to the Network Addon Modd.

Remember you can only have one GLR/EL-train and Passenger Train mod installed at a time.

Due to first the Project ZIP efforts, then the SC4D LEX Restoration efforts in order to make the folder structure more unified the original install location (VDK Automatas BSC) and the file names have been changed.
To avoid conflicts, please, it is highly recommended to use any of the third party cleanitol tools and remove any previous versions from your plugins. In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP you can find a Cleanitol_BSC VDK Train Mods[...].txt file and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove old and outdated versions of these files.

The letters on the pictures above, helps you to pick the file you want to install.
Remember you can only have one EL-train mod and one PR-train mod installed at a time.

Optional file:

Each mods is made of two files:
- Engine Car
- XCar.

The XCar is an optional file that gives you an extra car with pantograph. It connects the trains with the overhead wires:

Both files will be installed for the mod you selected. You can remove the XCar file from plug-ins.

Uninstallation:

For uninstalling the files, simply delete the files from the plugins folder.
