Empty vehicle fix for modded freight types

There are a number of mods that add custom freight types to the game.
Most fail to address custom cargo models, resulting in vehicles that are carrying one of these modded freight types to appear as empty, even if they are not.
This mod is an attempt at a generic fix.

I say generic because it uses the same methodology for every vehicle and every freight type. You still need to tell the mod what industry mods you are using. Please see the mod's load time menu options.
The major industry mods that make many changes to the game are included in a single drop down list, as it is unlikely (I think) that more than one of these will be in use at a time.
The smaller ones are available with individual toggles.



This situation is one of the few in the game where mod load order does in fact matter.
This mod is making changes to vehicles. Specifically, it is editing the changes made by the industry mods in question. In order for this mod to succeed, those changes must have already been made before this mod's edits are attempted.

This mod should address most, if not all, instances of empty vehicles on your map, although the cargo type displayed may seem off in a few cases, depending on how the industry mod made its changes to various vehicles.
If you see a situation where you have empty vehicles, or other goofiness, please let me know the vehicle mod and the industry mod in question.
Similarly, if you are using an industry mod that I have missed, do let me know.

Please note that this mod will not change the cargo types that any particular vehicle will carry. That is down to the industry mods in question.
