NB642 - Enhancement for MARC II Cab Car

This mod pack enhances the existing cab cars from the NB642 MARC II reskin by providing new versions which change the cab to a modified RSC Shoreliner cabview (replacing the DTM Comet I default cabview), by aliasing the horn and bell to the MARC 7758 sound mod by NJT6050, and by utilizing Open NEC 2.0 scripting for realistic cab signal behavior.

Also includes updated behavior for car lighting including brake lights, door lights, and headlights and number lights that are automatically modified by time of day and tunnel entry. 6 quick drive consists (3 cab-forward and 3 loco-forward) are provided also using the MP36PH and Multilevel equipment from the DTG Washington to Baltimore route.

NOTE: This DOES NOT overwrite the original cab car files from the reskin pack. Both the enhanced cab and cab with vanilla DTM specs will be available in Quick Drive.

nothing is actually aliased in the download. the only thing you put that actually changes something is the door script. in order to have the horn and cabview properly aliased you should have included the cabcar bin files for the reskin, not for the shoreliner.

Sorry, it might not be clear from the info in the description, but this mod does not modify the cab car engine bin files from the reskin pack (those intentionally have the vanilla DTM cab, scripting, and sounds). The new "enhanced" cab engine bins are in the Shoreliner folder and if properly installed, you will see both the regular cab and the enhanced cab available in quick drive - this does not overwrite the original bin files.
