BR 628 Livery Swap for TT services (Mint Green to Traffic Red and vice versa)

This mod swaps the Mint Green with the Traffic Red livery in the formation files of the BR 628 for timetable services on Niddertalbahn and layered routes.

Niddertalbahn -> services with Traffic Red instead of Mint Green livery
Linke Rheinstrecke -> services with Traffic Red instead of Mint Green livery
Salzburg-Rosenheim -> services with Mint Green instead of Traffic Red livery
Maintalbahn -> no change (see explanation below)
Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn -> can't test effect (see below)

For any other or future DLC which uses the formation files of the BR 628 plugin of Niddertalbahn for the timetable, this mod will likely also work.

Special mention Linke Rheinstrecke:
Linke Rheinstrecke does not use the formations in the BR 628 plugin directly. Because of this I needed to do a second pak file which just replaces the 628 formation file for LFR. This is what ""!!!628LiverySwap_LFR_2.pak" is about.

Special mention Maintalbahn:
For some reason, the Maintalbahn services for the BR 628 will not change their livery and there is even another problem to it. With the pak file "!!!628LiverySwap_1.pak" alone, the 628 layers to Maintalbahn
completely disappear, however when you install "!!!628LiverySwap_LFR_2.pak", it will appear again but not with swapped livery and default Traffic Red livery. This is a weird occurance, I need to investigate further. My guess is that this happens because Maintalbahn is the only case where the 628 is actually substituted (with the BR 642) and not just use as a formation in the timetable. But still weird.

Special mention Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn:
I do not own this DLC, so I cannot see how this mod has an effect on it. IF the timetable of Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn uses the formation files from the original BR 628 plugin, then it will change the Traffic Red livery to Green Mint. IF its using a dedicated formation file, same thing as LFR. IF it uses substitution, might be the same effect as Maintalbahn.

Note that it is technically neither a substitution nor a pak file reskin as rather a formation file replacement, but I thought this category would suit the best for it.

Installation Instructions

After downloading, copy or move the pak file "!!!628LiverySwap_1.pak" and "!!!628LiverySwap_LFR_2" into the DLC folder under
(Train Sim World)\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC

For Steam, this is (path to your steam library)\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 5\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC.

Additional Comments

This mod should also work for older TSW versions as formation files usually shouldn't be changed that much.
