Description:

This pack consists of the narrow-gauge trains running in the High Tatra
mountain range in Slovakia, transporting mainly tourists. It should not
be confused with the czech Tatra factory, which was named after the
mountains and except for the geographical location, has nothing in
common with these trains. Well, except the class 420.95 train, which
actually was made by Tatra. :)

The modern days' trains are the swiss-built 405.95 rack train, and the
swiss-based, slovak-built 425.95 class EMU. Just for fun, I'm including
the swiss versions of these trains as well, see below for more info.

Version 1.5 brings the 49.0001 prototype train, built by Ringhoffer
Prague, that was running in the mountains from 1930 till 1970.
Currently being restored in the depot of the TEZ to run as a historical
unit, you can have it already running in Locomotion now. It features
my first try at separate bogies, which also seem to reduce clipping.

For version 2.0 I've modelled the 420.95 class EMU, which is being
phased out nowadays and replaced by the modern 425.95 units. Also new
is the mountain station, a completely scratch built station consisting
of two parts (platform + building). I've tried to make it resemble its
real life counterpart, the Stary Smokovec TEZ station as much as
possible. For installation instructions, see below, for Lego-style
building instructions, see the included station.png image.

2.1 brings an updated trackng.dat with diagonal track and wide curves,
courtesy of barney_5uk.

In version 2.2 the class 420 always has the pantograph up in the
direction of travel, as it does in reality too.

Version 2.5 includes improvements on the visual appearance and more
details on the 420.95 and 49.0001 units. The 49.0001 has been added
also in its original state in the green TEVD livery before
reconstruction. The mountain station has been graphically updated and
a new bonus winter variation added, with snow on the roofs.
Unfortunately there is not enough free slots for both stations in the
trackng.dat, so you'll have to choose between either the summer or
winter station. :(

The 3.0 megaupdate adds the 49.0002 unit together with the its carriage
Balm/u, Blm/U carriage for the 49.0001 unit, a company-coloured 420.95
unit in the retro style of Prague's T3R.PLF tram, 2 swiss GTWs - YSC
and CJ, sound and fixed roof graphics on the 49.0001, the 49.0005
service unit for eye candy, fixed reverse code on the GTWs, optional
trackng.dat with enabled earthbridge and last but not least, my first
scenario.

3.1 brings a new way to build stations that temporarily overcomes the
limit of building seven for each track type. A new track is used as
a concrete base to build stations. In order to enable it, you must also
select the construction worker vehicle in the scenario editor. This
way, it's possible build both the snow and the standard version of the
mountain station in one scenario. Try it out with the included map
or incorporate it into yours. Basic instructions on how to build it
are shown on the station.png image. Additionally, the 405.95 and Bhe4/8
units have corrected stats, rotating bogies and updated pantograph
graphics. The original green 49.0001 unit and the Blm/u carriage have
a new roof in proper colours and are available till 1954, when they are
updated to the new red/cream colour scheme. All the stations buildings
have updated graphics to reflect the lighting of the game and cast
stronger shadows. And last, the 420.95 unit in the prototype colours
of the 421.95 model is included as a bonus vehicle.

The update to 3.2 contains an advertising livery on the ASm Be 2/6,
a white one for 1to1. Also included are two variations of the TEZ
425.95 - one without the silhouette of mountains on the middle part and
one with Aquacity advertising on it. Most notably, all trains now have
custom made sounds and you'll need to reenable them in the scenarios to
have them work. The 49.0005 eye candy unit now becomes obsolete in 1991
as in real and I made the internal naming convention of all units
a bit more coherent. Last but not least, the scenario has been reworked
and split into two different ages - 1966 and 2004. They're both speed
scenarios and you only have a couple of years to build the networks and
reach the respective goals. Refer to the ingame description for more
info.

Moved the GGB Bhe 4/8 to the Matterhorn pack in the 3.3 release. Added
the YSC Be 2/6 EMU with advertising on the power unit in version 3.4
and the CEV Be 2/6 EMU in Goldenpass colours in 3.5.

Added the new 2013 livery of the 425.95 EMU in 3.6 along with some
bonus trains - yellow 425.95 and retro 420.95.

=======================================================================
Installation:

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

For the mountain station, backup your trackng.dat first! Then copy
TRSTATMS.dat, TRSTATMP.dat, TRSTATSS.dat, trackbld.dat and CONSWORK.dat
from this archive into your locomotion\objdata folder. Depending on
whether you want to use Steve's earthbridge in narrow gauge or not,
copy the trackng.dat from the relevant folder (with_earthslopes or
without_earthslopes) into your locomotion\objdata folder. Steve's
earthbridge has to be downloaded separately though and is available on
www.locomods.eu.

Remember to backup your original trackng.dat if you ever want to get
rid of the mountain platform! Unfortunately, every narrow gauge station
needs to be coded in the trackng.dat, so that's why we're replacing it.
Now just select the mountain stations, the mountain platform and the
construction worker vehicle in the scenario editor.

To use the scenario, copy into your locomotion\scenarios folder. The
map requires you to have all TEZ trains installed, the included sounds
and the mountain station and platform. It doesn't require earthslopes,
feel free to add them if you wish.

=======================================================================
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 train
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. ;)
