This mod is intended to introduce a remote control compatibility to the S060. This can be used as an example for adding remote control capability to other steam engines using CCL. In fact, the remote control component being added in this mod may be distributed at a later date as a CCL plugin as well for simple implementation.
Options:
- Apply to S282 - Defaults to false - if true, then the 282 will also recieve the remote module
- Add Wireless MU - Defaults to true - if true, then both the 060 and 282 will receive the ability to use the wireless MU (Wireless MU also synchs CylinderCocks if the sender and receiver are both steam locomotives.
Building the project requires some initial setup, after which running dotnet build will do a Debug build or running dotnet build -c Release will do a Release build.
After cloning the repository, some setup is required in order to successfully build the mod DLLs. You will need to create a new Directory.Build.targets file to specify your local reference paths. This file will be located in the main directory, next to MOD_NAME.sln.
Below is an example of the necessary structure. When creating your targets file, you will need to replace the reference paths with the corresponding folders on your system. Make sure to include semicolons between each of the paths and no semicolon after the last path. Also note that any shortcuts you might use in file explorer—such as %ProgramFiles%—won't be expanded in these paths. You have to use full, absolute paths.

To package a build for distribution, you can run the package.ps1 PowerShell script in the root of the project. If no parameters are supplied, it will create a .zip file ready for distribution in the dist directory. A post build event is configured to run this automatically after each successful Release build.
Linux: pwsh ./package.ps1
Windows: powershell -executionpolicy bypass .\package.ps1
Some parameters are available for the packaging script.
Leave the package contents uncompressed in the output directory.
Specify a different output directory.
For instance, this can be used in conjunction with -NoArchive to copy the mod files into your Derail Valley installation directory.
