Class 465/9 Better PIS

This mod improves the atrocious Class 465 PIS font present in TSW3.

MAJOR UPDATE (23/12/2023)
With a big thanks to Aran , there are now various fixes and improvements to further the authenticity of the PIS.
Take a look at the changes below

• Rewrote the Service information text to match the real life Class 465/9s
• Fixed the rogue Comma before the "and" in the calling at list
• Removed the Static Destination and Safety Message

TSW4 UPDATE (04/10/2023)
Added a temporary version for TSW4.
Mods are still very patchy on TSW4 so you may encounter some issues.
Please do let me know if you do, and keep an eye out for any essential updates as DTG fixes things.

NEW FONT UPDATE (22/07/2023)

With a big thanks to pintDMG, Bendix | TaskPlays, and pookidooki, I have finally managed to get a custom font into the game!
This means I've been able to re-create the 465's font completely and import it into the game.

Coupling this with quite a few hex-edits I've gotten the 465's in-game PIS as close to the real thing as I can.
The only thing that differs from real life is the fact that I have centred the font in-game, where-as in real life all destinations start indented from the left.
I went with this decision just because it reduces the risk of longer destinations on SEHS being cut off,
as it's currently not possible to shorten destinations for a particular train.

As a bonus I've added an additional pak that changes some of the station directory to use the same names that the 465 destinations use irl.
Some examples are 'Sheerness-On-Sea' becoming 'Sheerness' and 'London Bridge becoming London Bdg'.
BE AWARE THAT THIS WILL CHANGE THE STATION BOARDS AND EVERY OTHER TRAIN TOO.

This font is experimental and it's my first time creating one and importing it into the game,
so please do report any problems you have to me in the TSC discord!

Included too is my PIS colour mod that changes the default TSW3 yellow to a much nicer orange to match the station boards.
However, I've also included a default yellow version if you'd rather have default.
This mod is completely compatible with my 'UK Rolling Stock Orange PIS Fix' so make sure to grab too from the requirements!

This is a very experimental fix so please do message me in the TSC discord if you notice any problems etc.
I'm still working on this to try and get it even closer so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.

!Laika-Class465-BetterPIS.pak - Main pack with orange PIS.
!Laika-Class465-BetterPIS-DefaultYellow.pak - Main pack with default yellow PIS.

Enjoy!
