Canadian/US locomotive bell and horn for Metrostroi

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE REQUIRED ADDONS INSTALLED!


This addon ADDS 3 new train types into the spawner, 81-710 (BiLevel cab car), 81-717 (Bombardier cab car), and 81-717.6 (Bombardier CEM cab car).

This is NOT a naming inconsistency - the 81-710 is based on the Hawker-Siddeley/UTDC BiLevels of the 1980s, while the 717 is base on 1990s-2000s Bombardier BiLevels and EMD F59PH locomotives. The 717.6 is based on the Bombardier/Alstom CEM cab cars and the MPI MPXpress locomotives.

The new train types are fully customizable! There are 15 horns (on Ezh3), 12 horns (on 717), 8 horns (on 717.6), and 9 bell types (all trains) to choose from!

Bell types are as follows (for ALL trains):
- Type 1 is a Graham White E-Bell
- Type 2 is a fast EMD Steel bell
- Type 3 is a GE Steel Bell
- Type 4 is an EMD Bronze Bell
- Type 5 is an EMD Steel Bell
- Type 6 is the Brass Bell used on Hawker-Siddeley Bilevel Cab Cars (GO 200-214) before the 2000s
- Type 7 is a different GE Steel Bell
- Type 8 is the Transtronic E-Bell (yes i know it sounds bad)
- Type 9 is a different Graham-White E-Bell
- Type 10 is an old and squeaky GE Steel Bell
- Type 11 is an EMD Steel Bell from the F59PH locomotive
- Type 12 is another EMD Steel Bell (might be a UKM bell, it's from a gallery cab car)
- Type 13 is an odd EMD Steel Bell from some locomotive
- Type 14 is a fast beating Hawker-Siddeley Brass Bell
- Type 15 is a fast beating EMD Bronze Bell similar to those on FP7 locomotives

The 81-717.6 (Bombardier CEM) has a selection of 15 horns you can choose from:
- 1: K5LA horn from a GO MP40PH locomotive.
- 2: K5CA-LS emergency horn
- 3: K5CA-LS horn in regular mode (only 3 bells active, essentially sounds like a bad K3HL/K3LP)
- 4: K2LA/K2H (?) horn found on Metrolink's Hyundai Rotem cab cars.
- 5: K5HL/K5LL horn used on GEVO freight locomotives
- 6: Generic K5LA horn, the original horn sample from this addon.
- 7: K5LA horn from a GO F59PH locomotive.
- 8: K5LA horn from an old GO Cab car, some MP40PHs had these
- 9: Another K5LA horn from a GO F59PH.
- 10: K3L/K3H horn from a VIA Rail or CP locomotive
- 11: K3L horn from a CN locomotive
- 12: BC Rail K5H horn
- 13: Fouled F59PH K5LA horn (actual sample from GO cab car 202)
- 14: K5LA horn from GO cab car 226, some MP40PHs had these
- 15: CalTrain P2 horn from @Fan Railer on YouTube

On the 81-710, these are the 18 horn options:
- 1: K5LA (early, sample is from an F40PH)
- 2: K5LA (GO Cab Car 215)
- 3: K5LA (GO Cab Car 238)
- 4: K5LA (GO Cab Car 202)
- 5: K5LA (GO Cab Car 219)
- 6: K5LA (GO Cab Car 226)
- 7: K5LA (GO Cab Car 244)
- 8: K5H (BC Rail)
- 9: K5LA (GO Cab Car 201)
- 10: K5LA (similar to GO Cab Car 235 or 249)
- 11: K5LA (fouled, GO Transit F59PH)
- 12: K5HL (CN/CP Rail GEVO)
- 13: K3L/K3H (Canadian Pacific)
- 14: K3L (Canadian National)
- 15: P2 (Metrolink)
- 16: P2 (CalTrain)
- 17: K5CA-LS Emergency horn
- 18: K5CA-LS regular horn (3/5 chimes active)

On the standard 81-717, there are 16 horn options:
- 1: K5LA (Similar to those on Amtrak locomotives and GO 249)
- 2: K5CA-LS Emergency horn
- 3: K5CA-LS regular horn (3/5 chimes active)
- 4: K5LA (GO F59PH 560)
- 5: K5LA (GO Cab Car 202)
- 6: K5LA (GO MP40PH)
- 7: K5LA (GO F59PH 559)
- 8: K5LA (fouled, GO Cab Car 244)
- 9: K5LA (GO Cab Car 215)
- 10: K5LA (GO Cab Car 226)
- 11: K5LA (early, GO Transit F40PH)
- 12: Strange fouled K5LA (similar to GO 216 and 219)
- 13: K5HL (from any GEVO locomotive)
- 14: K3L/K3H (CP Rail/VIA)
- 15: K3L (CN)
- 16: K5H (BC Rail)

There is now a bell model. It should randomly select on Ezh3 intermediate cars when the option is checked. The horn on the 717 changes position based on the .5 options (original or rebuild F59PH horn location) as well as being removed when you select any P2 horn. Horn changes based on whether a 3 chime or 5 chime horn is chosen. Unfortunately, the bell is not animated (I cannot animate it and don't plan to).

Use Shift+2 (or the big red button on the panel) to toggle the bell. The bell can be heard from a distance away from the train is and is used as a low-volume warning device (such as when approaching/departing stations, passing through some crossings, moving in a railway yard/depot, or simply when moving in areas where people could be in the way.)

The bell is still used for the ARS overspeed warning/emergency lighting alarm, so I would recommend disabling the Emergency Lighting circuit breaker on the 81-710 to prevent the bell from going off randomly. (also make sure to follow the speed limit!) The bell is no longer used for the security alarm on the 81-717 and 81-717.6, since the security alarm uses a different buzzer sound and resets automatically. This sound is also used by the "door buzzer" button (located right beside the bell switch), used to signal to the other cab of the train on the 717 variants.

On the 81-717 (Bombardier cab car) and 81-717.6 (Bombardier CEM cab car), the ditch lights can now be activated! Press the "Ditch Light Flashing" toggle switch (next to the headlight switches) on the control panel to make them flash. This works as long as either the headlights or ditch lights are on (group 1 OR group 2).
The switch is located at the right side of the control panel (Block 7) above the headlight switches and next to the air brake lamp (underneath the emergency drive buttons) on the 717. It is located on the bottom half of the control panel next to the blue headlight buttons on the 717.6. The Ezh3 variant does not have flashing ditch lights since it's based on early GO cab cars 200-241, which did not have flashing ditch lights until rebuilt. (Also because modifying the headlight model to separate it would be a pain.)

A priority alarm system has been added to replace the IGLA (Fire alarm unit) - all interfaces and text on the display have been translated to English and recoloured. Enter code 3241 to activate it (consider button 1 to be the leftmost one, 4 is the rightmost one.) It may read "UNIT 0 active" on startup, if so, press between the two middle buttons (Button 2+3 at the same time), enter the code again, then press button 1 if you want to select the correct unit.

The K5LA horn recordings come from GO Transit cab cars, provided by @superbaddy4, @trainboy647, and @rayuser1425 on YouTube. The locomotive K5LA horns are edited from GMod addons "710's sound pack" and "Mozer's north american horn pack". These addons are not required and will not conflict with this addon.
K5CA-LS synthesized by @WeenyBeanyHere on YouTube.
CalTrain P2 from @Fan Railer on Youtube
The K2 horn is synthesized by me.
Metrolink P2 from trainsimcommunity.com.
The bell recordings come from the following sources:
- Steel bell: @paulkowalczyk9468
- Graham White E-Bell: @lordwiggin449
- Ekyrail E-Bell: @missourivalleyrails (thank you so much since this is the only good Ekyrail bell on YT)
- Other bells are versions of the Steel Bell audio sample edited by me or from Mozer's horn pack.

If this addon is not working, use gmad.exe (in GarrysMod/bin) to unpack it into GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons.
If the problem persists, REPORT THE BUG IMMEDIATELY in the comments. I will fix it as soon as possible!

Thanks for using this addon!
