Converting animated coupling systems

[Ben1337]

Hey, I'm planning to convert several trains which were made with animated couplings.

But I was wondering, with the release of ACS. I was wondering how to convert one model with animated couplings (for example, the old obsolete bluestar coupling system or with eldavo's couple star couplings) to ACS (which stands for active coupling standard).

I'm planning to start with converting kuid:92263:13008 first.

Note, to clear any mishap or fights: none of the rolling stock I'm going to modify are not in any way made by me and I'm not going to distribute the modified to any public site without letting the original author before hand.

I will move onto other wagons (and eventually locomotives) with some more advanced stuff after I've converted the wagons without fitted breaks to ACS.

You need their permission, its not just a matter of letting them know. In this case the easiest way would be to replace the script but it uses Chameleon so that won't be easy unless you replace that as well.

What if I was just going to use it for just on a personal basis? Not a public basis.

On topic: How would I go about replacing the script and the Chameleon?

I converted Pikkabird's lovely hoppers to ACS coupling, including the animation of the unloading doors by changing the script files. The tail lights however we not done.

Yeah, good luck with that, but I would really like to find out how to convert it so that I don't like break the content because it would be a great shame if it did break.
