SetCartPart

Changes one part of a cart - its body, axle, wheels, load or a horse - on every screen at once.

The game builds all its wagons on one chassis, so any part goes with any other. slot and part on a "wagon":

Slot	Parts
body	a (the default), b (boards lying in its bed), b_plain (the same, empty), c (long, with ladder sides); a_covered, b_covered, c_covered - under a canvas cover
axle	b (the default), b_covered - the front axle with the pole
wheels	b_covered (the default), b, polygonal
load	none (the default), sacks, charcoal, carpets, stones, hay_small, hay_medium, hay_large, goods, junk, cabbage
horse1, horse2	the left and the right horse’s coat: black, bay_dun, chestnut, light_grey, buckskin, palomino, seal_brown, dark_grey, red_roan, brown

On a two-wheeled "cart":

Slot	Parts
body	b - the body with its shafts, the only one
wheels	b - the only one
load	none (the default), goods (barrels, a basket, sacks), market (baskets and a barrel), sacks, cabbage (wicker sides full of cabbages)
horse1	the horse’s coat, the same as a wagon’s

nil or "" gives the slot back its default (a horse its cart’s own coat). The change shows at once, while the cart drives and with players in it too. A route’s carts take the route’s parts again when the route is replaced.
