Short Description: This mod fixes the BR425's Sifa HUD bug, and shows the current Sifa state to the player just like other german trains.

So I played around with a few assets again and with a lot of luck and with sheer coincidence, managed to create a mod that might actually have some use for a few people! I couldn't really get it to work without the alerter "circle" being constantly visible in the HUD, but I hope that's forgiveable for a mod like this. Enjoy!

Known issues
  • The circle on the lower right part of the HUD is always active whether you have Sifa turned on or not.
  • When standing up and sitting back down the moment Sifa goes active or when you have a Sifa/PZB emergency brake happening it will keep on being "active" until the next sifa alert needs to be pressed. (might be a base game issue?)
  • Alt-tabbing might get the 425 into a similar state as the HRR 422, where you need to stand up and sit back down again to be able to press your Sifa/Alerter button. (might also be a base game issue?)

If there are any other issues, please let me know!

Wait, how was a user able to do this, I was led to believe the resources needed to accomplish this were so astronomically high that it had to be put on hold for 2 years now.

Weird....

It took me multiple tools and articles to really figure out what I had to do to make this work, and I feel like the way I did it just included a seriously big amount of luck. I think this is something DTG could theoretically do very quickly, but I had to go through the HUD's compiled binaries and find the one byte that made it "work". Though I bet if DTG wanted to fix this, they wouldn't go about doing what I did, they'd probably want to fix any of the "known issues" with sifa on both the 422 and 425. Now that might take a lot longer to do, time that they probably always needed to invest somewhere else.
But us modders don't work for profit, we can and will break the game all we like :P

Seems to be working as is for TSW3. Bumping version compatibility.
