FAQ

What does this mod do?

PLEASE READ AS THE WAY THIS MOD FUNCTIONS HAS CHANGED FROM PRIOR VERSIONS

1. Car Inspector : Handbrake & Air Line Helper
   • Gives two buttons that will scan the current car's connections, including the whole consist, and automatically release hand brakes, set anglecocks and connect glad hands.
2. Car Tag Updates
   • Shows an indication of which cars in the FOV have Air System or Handbrake issues.
   • hold SHIFT to only show the tags in the FOV for cars with an issue!
3. Discord Webhooks
   • Allows the console messages to post to a discord webhook. useful for those wanting to keep an eye on 24/7 hosted saves.
   • Locomotive messages grab the locomotive Ident.RoadNumber and check the CTC Panel Markers if they exist. If found, they will use the red/green color and embed the locomotive as an image in the message. If no marker is found, it defaults to blue.
   • Currently, One person per server should have this per discord webhook, otherwise you will get duplicate messages to the webhook.
   • Multiple hooks: Allows for many different webhooks per client to be setup, and filtered to the Ident.ReportingMark so you can get messages to different hooks based on what save/server you are playing on.
   • Customizable from the in-game Railloader settings, find RMROC451.TweaksAndThings
