Description:

The first tram in this pack is the czech Skoda 14T tram, designed
by Porsche. Originally destined to replace old stock in Prague, two
other cities ordered the tram from Skoda Transportation as well - Brno
and the polish town of Wroclaw. The archive includes all three
variations, plus a company-colored version in the bonus folder.

In version 1.1, XML fixes by Hodkowicz are added that set up the
back as the power car and the front as the driving carriage, both are
required to build and run the unit. Also, the 16T middle section is now
low-floor and if you noticed any graphical glitches on the Skoda tram
in company colors, they've been fixed. :)

The new tram from Skoda, ForCity, is in the 2.0 release. Comes in two
variations, 15T for Prague and 17T for Riga. Apart from that, there's
one commercial livery on the 13T, one on the 14T and three optional
Czechoslovak tram stops for different time periods. These replace the
game default passenger terminals.

Added the Skoda 14T in the advertising livery of PRE in the 2.1
release. Fixes include the naming of the Forcity trams, both called now
15T, updated graphics on the Riga 15T and a lower price on the 14T
trams.

The 2.2 update adds the bi-directional 19T tram for Wroclaw and four
different-sized ForCity trams in company colours. Then there's updated
code for all 5-part trams to enable coupling, fixed coupling on the
ForCity trams and correct power on the 16T tram.

New Citibank livery on the 14T tram in the 2.3 update.

Installation:

Copy the .dat file(s) into your locomotion\objdata folder and select
the tram(s) in scenario editor.

For the tram stop, copy over the files CSSTOP1.dat, CSSTOP2.dat and
CSSTOP3.dat to your locomotion\objdata folder. Then, backup your
ROADONE.dat, ROADRGH.dat, ROADTMC.dat and ROADTRAM.dat from your
objdata folder if you ever want to go back to the original state.
As I've written above, the new dats will replace the passenger
terminals from the game by the new tram stops. Now, copy over the
ROADONE.dat, ROADRGH.dat, ROADTMC.dat and ROADTRAM.dat from the archive
into your objdata folder to enable the new tram stops. You can also
selectively install the tram stops only for the road types you wish.
Please see the description of them above in the 'includes' section.

How to get improved reliability or no breakdowns:

Download the Locotool Wrapper from the following location:
http://www.locomotion-fanpage.net/index.php?page=DatabaseItem&id=112

Start the program, select what version you want (improved reliability,
no breakdowns, no obsoletion, etc.) and then drag and drop the tram
DAT file into the upper empty rectangle. You should get directories
with the modified DATs, simply copy them into the OBJDATA folder
and overwrite the default ones. ;)
