Manual-Enchance
by botamochi129
Manual-Enchance adds the manual driving controls that Minecraft Transit Railway trains need: expanded notches, reverser controls, a custom HUD and pantograph operation.
What it does
The mod expands manual driving from the standard five notch levels to fifteen. A new custom HUD takes the place of the default MTR driving display, and reverser controls for forward, neutral and reverse are added. Driving with a horn is also supported, and the horn sound is set through the custom resources file of the vehicle. Pantograph operation is implemented, with models for the lowered and raised states that can be given separate heights or displayed without them.
Manual destination signs can be set up as vertically stacked images split into a chosen number of signs, with optional sign IDs to synchronize displays and an option to enable a rotation animation. Signs work with OBJ models. The manual destination sign checkbox sits under the Electronic Display Board Resource Pack Editor, and it cannot be used alongside the standard MTR electronic display board. The interface is available in Japanese and English, and the mod is marked as still under development.
Minecraft Transit Railway is required. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code, issue tracker and wiki publicly linked. Files target a range of six game versions, and the environment is client and server.
