[hidden flare]

I wont switch distros just to play on a multi server ill try everything besides vms and if i cant i give up

[wintry badge]

yhh ubuntu is a distro

proxmox is VE

if distros arent working and youve tried the 5 available them VE/LCX is your only option

like i say tho, do keep me updated :L 😄

"I would like to use the TMP Police Scania truck in Single Player. But how?"

[pale frigate]

Does someone know why the volvo 780 engine feels a lot faster than the 770 from scania, even same truck and same transmission. Doesn't seems like a 10 hp difference and 100 nm

[fading glade]

You can try to find a local mod for that

[west pewter]

Love proxmox

[wintry badge]

S'what i mean!! He really doesn't know what he's missing out on

[wintry badge]

after the inital learning curve its worth it

[fossil owl]

does anyone have a save edit with an ownable krone etrailer?

[rough hamlet]

anyone know how to make a part invisible?

[remote grotto]

yes

[vernal mortar]

.

[fading glade]

If you don't want a specific part you can just use a tool like ALM to remove said part

[rough hamlet]

ye i want it

but invisible

[fading glade]

You can do that in Blender, import the part, and change the materials to 'none', which makes the part there, but it doesn't show ingame

If you don't want to do it via Blender, I'm not entirely sure

[south breach]

Hey. So anyone know how I can get started on modding/making trucks in programs like blender for free?

still nothing

got one for iveco too and nothing

xDDD nice nice

this one works tho but is invisible xDDDD @unique acorn

yup

[unique acorn]

why did it upload 10 times

[arctic siren]

no clue xD

[unique acorn]

1.58.x

So ofc 1.59 wont work

[arctic siren]

+*

it didnt work on 1.58 either

[unique acorn]

mod issue

[arctic siren]

i updated to 1.59 5 mins ago and i tried this mode multiple times

it defo works but just doesnt exist xD

[unique acorn]

its not made for 1.59 and a mod is fighting kast mod

so remove some mods that edit the chassis

[arctic siren]

all i got

[unique acorn]

remove body swap and try using a vanilla scania s or r series first to see if that works IN 1.58

[arctic siren]

@unique acorn

bro thats insane

[chilly panther]

Is there a way to get these light in tmp by save editing or sum

[fading glade]

You can try to ask for someone to create a local mod for it yes

[true meadow]

SCS created a problem again with the new update

shape1 headlights for the scania ng has no locators for the flares and shape2 Headlights has it

[true meadow]

Like this?

[elfin garnet]

whats the intieror mod called with some rgb lights in teh dash board

[coral adder]

https://medal.tv/games/euro-truck-sim-2/clips/mJ02myBDQ5qPDIiIN?invite=cr-MSxkNWIsNDc1MDQyMDQ4 what could be causing this?

[frigid hill]

maybe a mod. If you don't have any, try verifying your game files

[high tiger]

does somebody maybe have a working local mod skin for the scania streamline? i do have a template but um to stupid to create the mod for it. If you do, just hmu. thanks ^^

[coral adder]

Alright, thank you!

I'll see weather 3.6k first

[scarlet nacelle]

What mods work for truckers mp? Just wondering 😋

[wintry harbor]

is there any good SP interior mods? I want my bunk to actually look like a bed but none of the ones I have offer that

[primal juniper]

Is there a good Youtube or forum guide on Trailer Save editing, that anyone could recommend?

[wintry badge]

not really mate

anything in specific you're after?

[wintry badge]

loads on workshop. gumroad sell paid mods from makers like ApeCustoms

[wintry harbor]

I’ve got most on the workshop but none really have any bunk accessories besides a blanket and a shitty cushion pillow

[primal juniper]

im trying to make a double logging trailer for ATS

[wintry badge]

if you're trying to make it you would have to do the steps via blender to make the full import file as the dollys and whatnot wouldnt have a fixed position for what you're after

unless you can find trailers similar and replace the original def file and it spawns the new one in the right position

but obvs connectors and everything will have to match properly

[marsh cape]

Any tips on getting a Vossloh G6 Locomotive to load onto a flatbed? I know I've seen it done but it's a bit beyond my capabilities. Or maybe someone knows a working mod that I can look at? 😄

[fading glade]

It’s a save edit I assume

[marsh cape]

It is. But if there was a mod out there that already had the locomotive on a flatbed I could just work around that. I'm just having trouble attaching the cargo to the flatbed. I permanently attached it to a lowbed, but a flatbed is obviously requiring something different.

[fading glade]

So you want a mod that has the locomotive attached to the flatbed? Or at least know if a mod that does that exists?

[marsh cape]

Yup, so I can at least look into it and see how it's done or just copy/paste what they did. Or even if anyone has tips on how to do it that I can follow.

[fading glade]

I’m pretty sure you can still do it as a save edit

The way I do it is a bit different though

[wintry badge]

Check insanux, pretty sure they have locomotive trailers as save edits

[marsh cape]

I'll look over there

[wintry badge]

They have MANY

[marsh cape]

Thanks boss. This is probably exactly what I need. I'll check it out.

[regal mountain]

what should I do if this happen if I load my game will crash

[fading glade]

Just try loading it

It’s just to let you know like “Hey, you’re missing a mod, the game might crash or not load”

But usually you should be fine

[regal mountain]

what about if the game crash try to rejoin the game and load?

[fading glade]

Check the game.log.txt file

Not game.crash.log

See if the game.log.txt has any errors

[void pond]

if you're using plugins check out the new version

[regal mountain]

ok thx

[regal mountain]

I use the mod directly subscribed from workshop

[primal juniper]

so it wouldnt be possible to just take a HCT flatbed and replace the fladbeds with the Pole trailer(Logging trailer)

[wintry badge]

I dont see why it wouldnt be mate, theyre pretty much identical trailers in terms of size and width. Could always try to import the piece youre looking for onto an scs chassis for one thats already made as im sure the flatbeds/box trailers are the same dimensions

you know how to identify the def file location path in-game?

saves a lot of time looking through files and importing incorrect boxes XD

[primal juniper]

Yes ive done it with Semi editing, i just couldnt get it to work when it came to the trailers. so ill keep trying and report back lol ty bro

[wintry badge]

i mean, if you wanna learn how to use blender and get the basics to import items im happy to show you bro

aware a lot of it is gatekept

[fallow valley]

how can i play truckersmp with graphics mod? and what graphics mod do you recommend me to download?

[wintry badge]

snowymoon

[fallow valley]

is it free?

[wintry badge]

not the latest version no

[fallow valley]

other mods?, and how can i use them

[jolly notch]

ReShade is probably the only other one. Not really a mod though.

But it also has issues with multiplayer

[jolly notch]

And it's only $1/month via Patreon btw.

[fallow valley]

bruuhh

thx btw

[azure light]

if i would use a scania mod would it work in tmp?

[fading glade]

Local mods yes, regular mods no

[azure light]

what are local mods?

[fading glade]

Like hookups to your truck that only you can see and no one else

It’s a model that’s attached to a part that has hookups, like mirrors, glass sets, or markers on trailers

You could for example have a local mod for race cars on your flatbed trailer, only you can see the cars on your trailer though

And then these race cars are like a hookup to a marker slot in your save

[azure light]

oh ok ty

[fading glade]

No problem :)

[regal mountain]

where should I place my street lamp at is not working somehow

[fading glade]

Does the mod say something about compatibility with other mods?

[regal mountain]

nope

[void pond]

Does the fog effect look reversed?

[regal mountain]

wdym that

[void pond]

nvm

[regal mountain]

like there no fog

[regal mountain]

[void pond]

nope this one free

oh alright thx I will try it

[glad skiff]

Hi, so I have a trailer design with the template already on it, but unsure on how to upload it to ETS2 and as a downloadable file to add to ETS2. Is anyone able to help me by either having a 1 on 1 VC chat about it, or if I send you the image if you would be able to do it. As all the YT videos I've watch are honestly a bit useless.

[fading glade]

Explain what you want exactly?

[slim ore]

hey someone got some mod for double light in the back of the trailer please?

[slim ore]

and someone know how to install the mod of MasterTeam ? I don't found it for download it

[tardy raptor]

Hello, so i found some Local interior i wanna use (not everything) but the there are some files i need i found the files but if i export them from the mail file i get errors "txt doesnt exist" where can i find the txt file or do i create one? the file in question is a TOBJ file.

[fading glade]

[jovial oar]

[fossil owl]

does anyone know how I can increase the range/fueltank of of electric trucks?

[fading glade]

With mods

[wintry badge]

save edits also

[fossil owl]

im trying to do that right now

[wintry badge]

have you opened your profiles game.sii?

[fossil owl]

I opened the sii of the chassis of the electric truck im using/want to use

[wintry badge]

ctrl+f

[clever spear]

Anyone knows a good mod for spotting radars and also real gas station logos?

[wintry badge]

search for 'tank_size'

change it too 1200

ctrl+s, then however you decrypted your game.sii, just rename it as 'game.sii' and it will re-encrypt itself

place that into your same profile you took it from, click yes on overwrite, go into game, open console and type 'game' and it will reload.

[wintry badge]

this is if you change it directly from the profiles game.sii 🙂 sometimes its easier to change the single unit instead of all trucks incase you ever wanted to change back to regular capacity

[fossil owl]

I must be doing something wrong cause its still at 525 kwh

[fossil owl]

nvm its probably patched or something

cause I checked the older messages about it here and it just resets any fuel_relative value above 1

[wintry badge]

hmmm have you tried with a diesel vehicle?

as far as im aware, it still works. Editing game.sii files isnt really something patchable unless they change those definitions

TMP just enforce things by the bannable nature of some changes such as save edits, the core .scs files are limitless as all the tools come from scs directly

[supple tendon]

Does anyone in here make skins and is willing to talk to me about it?

[warm flame]

[little moat]

is there a way to turn .scs mods into local mods ?

[chilly tiger]

no i dont think so

but it is Kinda possible

but vhery complicated for those with only 3 Neurons functioning, like me for example

[little moat]

I just want my gps to be purple 😔

[slim ore]

Hey someone got the mod of MasterTeam it's a mod for add part on truck trailer , build trailer please

[wintry badge]

Insane Callum on youtube shows you how to do this with assets. But gui can be very tricky to edit, hence why theres very little available that work within tmp

[fading glade]

What do you mean with that? Like the GPS navigation screen or the navigation accessory itself?

Or do you mean the route advisor?

[little moat]

the GPS, world map, job map, etc... I only want the roads to appear as purple instead of grey/orange

[clever spear]

thanks

[winged nebula]

You can use mods for that on singleplayer

[fading glade]

So the route advisor road

[winged nebula]

But theres an actros on save edit that has a dash with a different view of the map but the navigation line will still appear as orange and red

[quasi surge]

anyone know how i can add the TIR sign frorm the tirsan DLC onto a truck so i can still use it on TMP

[random quest]

You're welcome :)

[winged nebula]

I haven't seen such a mod, but you can look around maybe theres a moded paint job which can be used on singleplayer , but on TMP I doubt.
And the game doesnt have such an addon.

[quasi surge]

it would be fire if that existed ngl

[winged nebula]

Youre right about that , its a very nice decal 💥

[quasi surge]

ngl they should add TIR for every truck, and also ADR signs for trucks and trailers

so you can own stuff with those signs

[winged nebula]

The ones we have ingame are not enough 😫 , im huge on ADR signs

[quasi surge]

fr

[iron pecan]

Does anyone here have great trailer save edits? I cant seem to find anything

[winged nebula]

#videos message

@iron pecan

Also check out steam workshop for trailor mods theres plenty there

[iron pecan]

I did try, but a lot of them cannot be used for truckersmp

[winged nebula]

Search TMP or Online on the workshop , those affiliated with TruckersMP will appear , subscribe and purchase them ingame on singleplayer and save your game file and then launch the game via TruckersMP launcher and load your save
There should be instructions on every mod on how to propely install them so they work on TMP.

[orchid brook]

I have a question re ProMods. Do I need to use the ProMods server if I'm going to a city on ProMods? Why is there a seperate server?

[golden canyon]

If the city was added by the promods team then yes you need to use single player or the PM server, if it is between 2 base game cities you can do on the normal version though you may miss some nice extra details along the way. For the second part, maybe ask in the #promods channel as some of their team pop in from time to time.

[random quest]

We got these bots still?

[tiny igloo]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on an Android Auto/Apple CarPlay mod which I plan on releasing on GitHub soon for ETS2, just wanted to get some opinions and feedback, currently it works by plugging in your phone and using LIVI, which is an open source head unit for both CarPlay and AA, although for carplay it requires an adapter since it doesnt work natively, sound works, you can control it directly in-game, it has remappable keybinds etc, voice assistant works too

[thin flicker]

Keep it up, good job

[tiny igloo]

Thank you!

[thin flicker]

[magic needle]

bro is listening to a great song

thats also a sick mod

its always really nice to actually get to use your screen there instead of it being fixed to navigation like you can have a phone put on the windshield instead

[tiny igloo]

Thank you!

[tiny igloo]

Thats what I always thought about, instead of having the screen ONLY display the maps, actually connecting it to your phone and being able to control it in-game is so cool

Makes a huge difference for gameplay etc

Also, I forgot to upload the showcase video in my previous message, discord compresses the pics so it looks much better on the video

[magic needle]

FH4 main menu theme playing❤️

yeah i would definitely give this mod a try and see it for myself even tho im mostly playing on tmp unless tmp doesnt support the latest version ofcourse

[tiny igloo]

FH4 was peak, yeah for sure! If you want to give it a go, It still needs some polishing and some more fixes here and there but I can let you know

[magic needle]

Yeah sure cant wait to try it but probably better when you're fully done with the mod with slme fixes and all that

[tiny igloo]

Yep, and as for TruckersMP, it is a DLL, and I would probably need to code sign it with a certificate before they even want to consider it, it would need to get a user base big enough that TMP gets pestered about it lol

[magic needle]

Yeah that makes sense

Hey Guys i have started to getting in ETS2 Mapping and i was wondering if a can import a plane with a texture of Google maps from existing roads

I linked an image i found online that kinda shows what i mean

[quasi surge]

how do i install custom interiors as a local mod?

some that either only change color or entire models

[dry grotto]

After im done installing the promods and the middle east.. when im booting up after selecting my server on truckersMP it says "content change detected. updating navigation data" and stops loading before the end

any ideas?

[mossy turret]

you just have to wait

it always does that when switching between Promods and base map

[jolly torrent]

@dry grotto I’ve been waiting like 30 minutes lol and my pc is high end.

[dry grotto]

Thanks @mossy turret

Mine was done in about 20 mins but my pc is kinda low end

mine only took 5 minutes the first time

Hi! How to make a road train from different goods or the same? For example: bulldozer + bulldozer and the like?

[cobalt nymph]

That would be done by save editing.

https://youtu.be/Jpse2QSC4BI

This video walks you through the process. Once you've got the technique, you can apply it to pretty much any trailer combination.

@soft python

[soft python]

@cobalt nymph thx

No problem! 🙂 👍

[jolly torrent]

are there any MP mods?

[past token]

@jolly torrent: We support these mods in multiplayer:

• ProMods Europe (with optional Middle-East Add-On Pack): https://truckersmp.com/kb/614. For ETS2 only. Trailer & Company Pack addon is not supported.
• ProMods Canada: https://truckersmp.com/kb/1122. For ATS only.
• Grimes' Frosty Winter Weather Mod (with optional heavy winter add-on): https://truckersmp.com/kb/84. Both ETS2 and ATS are supported. The physics add-on is supported for ATS only. Darker Night Skies is not supported.

We do not support other mods and/or Steam Workshop items.

they should probably update that message to include some statement about local mods

can i have a download link to a mod that i can change the interior color for truckersmp pls?

[golden ferry]

anyone know if there is a limit for how many textures you can add into your mod? cuz i made 1 mod with new texture to all the trucks in the game, and all the extra stuff, but somehow i cant find the mod in my mods list, and it was exported with no issues

[azure lynx]

Make sure you put the .scs in Mods Folder Directory

[golden ferry]

its in there, along with the rest of my self made mods, and they work fine tho

[meager walrus]

Hey guys, is there a list of good mods to add realism that are compatible with MP?

[vast surge]

You didn't mention if you tried to get the mods working online by any luck? Since the mod manager would be disabled if that's the case, other than that, I wouldn't know, since you've contradicted yourself saying "it works" but that you can't find it in the list

[silk cloak]

Here you can find the supported mods🙂 Local modding is also possible and allowed, use of reshade is also possible🙂
https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/93303-truckersmp-supported-mods/

[meager walrus]

Thanks!

[lyric cairn]

Is this all I need for the Winter Mod?

[sweet sphinx]

Yes

[lyric cairn]

Thanks

Is it just a visual mod I take it

[golden ferry]

yea mods are diabled when you play online, its in SP, the mod dosent show up in the list, its like its not even there

[vast surge]

If you have the mod in your folder and it doesn't show up, then there's something wrong with it, I know they're usually as scs files

[golden ferry]

yea, well i went off some hours ago and i just loaded the game now the mod show so i think time was all it need, thx for the help anyway

[vast surge]

Ah alright 👍

[meager walrus]

@silk cloak how do I know what is just local modding and doesn't influence MP in a bad way?

I am trying to use realistic graphics mod, realistic rain mod, Addon realistic rain with RGM, realistic vehicle lights mod and real european gas stations

ah well, looks like none of them is loading in mp, rip

[vast surge]

Yeah addon hookup local mods are like visual parts that you add onto a vehicle that yourself can only see. You can only use shaders since graphics mods won't work online

[meager walrus]

pretty sad. why are other graphical mods disabled? I don't see a reasoning for this tbh

[vast surge]

Atm there's just Grime's seasons mods that can be used, for whichever season is supported

[left mauve]

does anyone knows why the gamesave crashes when you creating a job in trucksbook? ijust cant get it to work. the client works but the job is not in the game.

[arctic crater]

I want to install mod for truckersmp but when I'm in the game and saved, the quicksalve folder does not appear, does anyone know why?

[hearty plume]

You cant download mods for TruckersMP.
Only mods you can download is.. ProMods & seasons mods 🙂

[arctic crater]

yes i would put an interior for truckersmp, but quicksalve is not giving, because it does not appear where saved

[hearty plume]

Talking about Local modding?

[arctic crater]

yess

[sweet sphinx]

Do you have profile on steam cloud?

[nocturne dust]

Is the "New" Winter mod just optics? no physics anymore?

[jovial oar]

Physics were re-enabled for ATS, otherwise it's only graphical

[meager walrus]

wait, so physics are enabled for ats but not ets?

[cobalt nymph]

yes

[zealous remnant]

activate rain prob with winter mod and the physichs will turn on, but if pretty bad because if you go faster than 70mph will automatically drift

[nocturne dust]

Thank you!

[lucid shard]

I have a basic question about season mods, like frosty and summer. Do they override each other so I have to manually alter which one I use each time I boot the game, or does the game keep track of the date and use the appropriate seasonal mod?

Online, yes.

[cobalt nymph]

there's lots of youtube tutorials and an entire dedicated section on the tmp forum https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/forum/423-save-editing/

There's no formal documentation that I am aware of.

Well Im trying to work out how I can replace the last trailer on here:

with this guy:

[cobalt nymph]

that's fairly simple to do

To me trailer_def looks like a way to define what that trailer actually is, but theres no documentation so I feel Im doing something wrong

[cobalt nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hFcaHYz66A this video explains what you need to do

[finite ibex]

Are there incompatibilities between trailers, though? As shown in my first screenshot, my trailers are using B-type connections but the trailer in the second image is using turnpike/dolly. I've been trying to grab out just the trailer and pasting it onto my B-Type connector.

[ocean turtle]

I'd suggest reading your game log file, it will tell you why it won't load the save

[cobalt nymph]

You can put almost any trailer with another. Even a drawbar onto a blink.

[finite ibex]

Mind if I chuck in a 5 minute video to illustrate what I'm doing? Maybe someone will see what's being done incorrect.

Here's my process:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMEmyp6BcWY

[sharp vessel]

where is the best place to get mods?

[finite ibex]

Probably Steam workshop

[limpid canyon]

Workshop | SCS Forum

[vast surge]

I'm not sure why you're trying to grab the trailer from a turnpike double when you can just get a 45' single trailer instead, less complicated to copy...
Also when you copy a trailer and put it in the back of an articulated trailer, you don't need to copy the trailer definition, it should be null unless it's the first vehicle (lead).
When I swap a trailer, I copy the array of accessories, and put it in a new document so I can easily work on it. It includes accessories: ## (the count) and all the accessories[##]: _nameless.###.####.#### (each declared accessories) which are grouped together in each vehicle. Vehicles are always from lead to tail in order.
The accessories below it are from tail to lead (the other way around), so you have to be careful with that if you have multiple vehicles. I always search for the first and last accessories of the trailer in question, so that I can easily select and copy all of the accessories that I want, which I also put in the new document.
Now what you have to do is that you replace the last number for each accessories, the array, and all the individual ones below (in the new document), doesn't matter what it is, but you can put 1 instead of 0, it can be 1-9, a-f. The reason is because you're making a copy from an existing trailer, and you cannot have duplicate accessories with the same "_nameless"...
Once that is done on the new document, you just need to find the trailer you want to replace, and look at the accessories, beginning and end, and mark it, and whatever is between the markers, you can safely delete it, and place the ones from your new document. Same thing for the array.
I know it's long, and seems complex, but it really isn't when you have the knowledge of the save structure and how to change the accessories and names.

[dawn talon]

I have tried to find it but to no avail. Are you permitted to install mods through the steam workshop suck as a heavy haul 20 speed gearbox the improved scanias ect?

[jovial oar]

They won't work on TruckersMP, if that's what you're asking

[finite ibex]

@vast surge Thanks so much for all the info! I thought trailer_def needed to be copied since, without it, how would the game know which trailer to use? Wouldn’t it default to the shorter trailer that I’ve already got on the end of my train?

[vast surge]

The definition goes on the first trailer, and it can also be modified too

[finite ibex]

I thought trailer_def was a way for me to say “hey game, this end trailer is different to the others. Please use this longer trailer instead”

[vast surge]

Nah, it's just information used for cargo market, and also where the trailer is allowed to be used

[finite ibex]

Ah I see, I’ll play around with that new info you provided then. Cheers 👍😃

[finite ibex]

@vast surge you bloody legend

So is it the accessories that essentially tell the game which trailer this actually is?

That would be interesting because none of the accessories have data_path: referencing this trailer - there's wheels, hub caps, paint jobs data though

[vast surge]

Well essentially you have the chassis (which defines how many wheels and what type), and the tires, which I think is the bare minimum... then you have the other accessories on an owned trailer, like the body, markers, rear bumper, other wheel accessories, etc

You can mess around with various stuff, you can mix paint jobs, you can use "company" trailers that aren't in the trailer dealership, and put "custom" painted wheels on

[finite ibex]

Ah! Light bulb moment. That makes sense. Thanks so much for explaining it all man. Now that I know how it actually works I can have some fun 😁

[vast surge]

Sure, once you know the basics of how it works, it gets easier, it's all about messing around stuff you get to learn

[finite ibex]

trailers that aren't in the trailer dealership
That sounds interesting. The game won't get angry if you've got a cargomarket trailer on a personal trailer?

[vast surge]

Not at all xd you can shove pretty much anything the game has available, for as long as it can be hauled

[finite ibex]

haha nice!

[vast surge]

Thing to keep in mind, those company trailers cannot have the fancy accessories that owned trailers have... except for the wheels

[finite ibex]

Ah, ok. I'll keep it in the back of my head 👍

[vast surge]

If something doesn't load up, always check the game log (but it can also happen that the accessory in question isn't compatible)

[warped moss]

For an ownable trailer you only need 3 accessories to be able to fully edit it in game.
1: Data (tells the game what accessories to pull from)
2: Chassis (how many wheels/where accessories go)
3: Body (what cargo models to load/not look awful)

With only those 3 accessories on an ownable trailer you can use the in game configurator to add everything else back. Nice and lazy.

Guys, should I stop using mods in ETS2? idk I fell like stop using mods cuz I don't use them (except ProMods and winter mod) in ATS so I feel like I should limit myself to ProMods and winter mod on ETS2 as well. What do you think? Should I stop using mods in ETS2?

[cobalt nymph]

I would suggest that you continue using mods that add to your gameplay experience in a meaningful way.

what game version are you trying to use?

the mod clearly states it's for 1.38 only

I will make a video showing it, but it was at 1.38 and didnt work

What am i doing wrong here, its at the beta 1.38 setting in steam @cobalt nymph

[vestal remnant]

why is my lightbox not working?

normally it looks like this

[frigid violet]

Maybe you changed the path of the image or you deleted the image

@vestal remnant

[vestal remnant]

i did nothing with the file just started on promods and then this happens

[frigid violet]

Hm

Try reinstalling the image

Maybe when you joined on promods a package "deleted" the image

Does it work on TMP (Not ProMods) or SP?

[vestal remnant]

thats sp

[frigid violet]

Ok

Did you try without ProMods

?*

[vestal remnant]

that is without promods

[frigid violet]

Ok

Probably a ProMods package deleted the image.

Try reinstalling it when you are in ProMods

[vestal remnant]

ok

[cobalt nymph]

local mods don't like playing well with promods and base map

[vestal remnant]

this is not an lokal mod 🤔

[cobalt nymph]

oh, it might have just been an asset thing then

check the console with ` and check for errors (red)

[vestal remnant]

there are no errors in it

i check it bevore i left the game

[frigid violet]

Probably the path of the image or when you joined in ProMods the image moved or the mod isn't compatible with ProMods

[left mauve]

how do i get that

Paris Rebuild works with Promods from what i know, make sure to double check

If you are interestes in Volves, Check out Eugenes

u need all dlc in able to download promods?

[jovial oar]

All map DLCs for ProMods Europe, Oregon and Washington for ProMods Canada

[lyric cairn]

So what does the ProMods add? Specially for online I mean.

[jovial oar]

More roads and cities, with them being more accurate towards RL cities

[lyric cairn]

If I have all the map DLC, Do I need anything else for it

I think the only DLC I don't own is just skins

[silk cloak]

You only need all MAP DLC to be able to play promods, you need to dowbload it via the promods website🙂

[mossy turret]

and follow the install guide

[lyric cairn]

Yeah the only Map DLC I'm missing is Liberia, I did get it installed but it did crash the first time I loaded it up but after that it worked fine.

[lucid nova]

Can someone help me fixing this the paintjob on my DAF turned to a matte colour i already removed all localmods and normal mods

[limpid canyon]

there is nothing wrong with it?

It's a base game paintjob, idk what shall be wrong with it

@lucid nova

And it does not look really matte to me

[lucid nova]

it is

look at the bottom grille thats how it normally should be

i use this paintjob a few months now

and ist is not only this paintjob it is the same on all paintjobs

[limpid canyon]

did u change some graphic settings maybe? and i stay at it, the paintjob looks completely fine to me

the basic paintjobs in this game are all matte, so yea

[lucid nova]

i didnt change any settings
you can see the diffrence of the colour on the black part of the bottom air intake and the black stripe but the stripe is way darker than it was before, before it looked like the black on the bottom air intake (way more glossy)

[limpid canyon]

i get what u mean, but i see nothing wrong with it

imo that is how it is suppoed to look

[mossy turret]

the game has a massive bug currently @lucid nova , some cabins on most trucks have a matte finish to them, even when they're clearly not supposed to

just need to wait until it's fixed

[lucid nova]

ok thanks

No, but be careful that your trailer doesn't randomly fly into someone

How many others here use the BDF tandem mod? And how many of you have the issue of the truck insanely wobbling left and right above 40km/h? and when i pause my game my transmission breaks and stops letting me accelerate, this only happens btw with the mod turned on

[ebon tundra]

Can you explain to me why the GPS sound, horn and backlight and Skoda engine sound is disappearing.
All this happens when a member of 3 or 4 drivers outnumber the drivers

[ornate valley]

That's a fmod (sound engine) issue, very well known as of today, which you can't personally fix, you can only wait for a fix from the developers.

[quaint stone]

yeah, I hear random engine startups all the time xD

[ornate valley]

It was worse in the past tho, it used to happen even when I was driving alone... Kudos to the devs who try their best to fix stuff

[ebon tundra]

This means that I don't have a problem

[left mauve]

what does this value for wear mean in game.sii

[mossy turret]

the amount of damage the accessory has received

[left mauve]

yeah but how do I read that as a number

[mossy turret]

for anything other than chassis, cabins, or tires, the value will always be 0

[mossy turret]

it's a scale of 0-1

[left mauve]

where does &377a2b28 come on the scale

[mossy turret]

that "number" that is there now is one converted by the game so it can read the value

it's somewhere in between 0 and 1

no way to figure out exactly where it is on that scale afaik

[left mauve]

can you just overwrite it with a 0

[mossy turret]

yeah

then the accessory will have 0 damage

[vast surge]

@left mauve @mossy turret For the values, you can use this website to convert between float and hexadecimal (just don't copy the & when you put it on the hex value field) https://gregstoll.dyndns.org/~gregstoll/floattohex/

Also the value seems to translate to... 0.0000149112, negligible lol

[gleaming monolith]

Hey Benji

[left mauve]

That makes more sense

I was converting hex to decimal

[vast surge]

Wear is a float from 0 to 1

You can legit put 0.15 or something if you wanted to, some fields can accept more than one type of value

Basically anything that starts with a & can also have the float value instead

you should do the modifications manually

How do I make my own mods for ETS2? And how do I make my own truck skins?

[cobalt nymph]

they look really cool and they combine characteristics of multiple trucks

I regularly drive a "Scanault" which is a hybrid between a Scania S and a Renault Premium and it's awesome...

to make a mod, it's technically just a .zip file with some folders and files...

[left mauve]

[mossy turret]

I'd look on the official SCS wiki if you want a better explanation

making your own truck skin via mod is just designing a skin, putting it in a specific folder, and then doing some light "coding" to get it to show up in-game

[neat blade]

Is there any way that a MAN Truck can have 730hp like a scania but with the same sound it has normally etc and that it works in MP?

[cobalt nymph]

I think engine sounds are now tied to the engines, so I don't think so.

[mossy turret]

you used to be able to swap any sounds with any engine you wanted, but now sound is tied to the engine you have

so you can still put the 730 into the MAN but it will sound like it would on the Scania

[neat blade]

Oh okay thanks

[mossy turret]

[vale chasm]

It disable them like if you do it manually

If you are lucky the game remove your accessories or if you are not lucky your game can crash

[left mauve]

I need help how do I get the death road mod

or how do i enter

why i am talking its 11 am everyone has school im sorry]

if someones answers me ping me pls

[mossy turret]

you have to download Promods from the Promods website (you need all ETS2 map DLCs), follow the existing guides on how to install it, and then go into the Promods server on TMP

[left mauve]

oh gawd

[regal copper]

is there anyone that can build a light box for the volvof10

Hey guys i have a question, I started a career for somewhat the first time recently, was playing it modded. I duplicated this save to play in multiplayer, obviously turned my modded truck into another, now i've been progressing this save in multiplayer but i'd like to duplicate it and replace the truck with my modded one, is there anyway to do this? I tried with the profile.sll changing the user data to the original but doesnt seem to work

[rancid holly]

Hey guys where do I find scout car and trailers for use on multiplayer server?

[azure lynx]

Truck Dealers

and Trailer Purchase for Caravan

[mossy turret]

you cannot use modded parts on MP, with the exception of local mods

[static wind]

No I know that bosu, my modded truck turned into a normal Scania, but duplicating the profile so my career is continuous, back into single player, is there a way to change this normal Scania back into my modded one without spending the 100+k again

[cobalt nymph]

load a save

[static wind]

but if i load a save, any progress made in multiplayer is lost if you understand what i mean

I'm trying to use the one save but switch between single player and multiplayer

mulitplayer = normal scania
singleplayer = modded scania

if i load a save in SP with the modded scania, i'm obviously behind any progress i made during multiplayer sessions

[cobalt nymph]

well you could save edit the xp and mileage between the 2 saves, but I don't really understand why you'd want to do that

[static wind]

it's not so much the xp, i duplicate the profile once i'm finished in multiplayer anyway, it's just to use the same save, in singleplayer, with a modded vehicle

but i guess this isnt possible

[ocean turtle]

you can still copy the truck configuration from an older save (if you have one) where the modded parts haven't been removed yet

[mossy turret]

that's probably the easiest way

[static wind]

I do have one, i figured it was in profile as the user data but when i tried to change it, it didn't work, is there a truck config somewhere else?

i thought maybe all of this above and below had something to do with it, but when i change this it just says i've been reparked and it's the same vehicle, if you could point me in the right direction that'd be great!

[mossy turret]

@static wind the truck config is in the profile's game.sii document

I'd suggest looking up a save edit tutorial like the one by LordBenji on the TMP forums on how to save edit

[static wind]

Perfect, thanks!

[mossy turret]

[left mauve]

does anybody know the code for logs cargo for HCT ? seems i can't find it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[cobalt nymph]

Check out this forum post: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/100533-ets2-trailer-data-paths-excel/

[left mauve]

thanks ! 🙏🏻

[cobalt nymph]

No problem! 😄

[left mauve]

does anybody know how should I "code" the front trailer with cargo? everytime i put my cargo as accesories,it gets only on the second trailer,but I want it in the first trailer as well. [HCT TRAILER]

[cobalt nymph]

the first trailer in the game.sii will be the rearmost trailer, try switching it around

[left mauve]

I tried,but I have no idea of how to make it to get the same cargo on both trailers.

[ocean turtle]

well... each trailer has its own cargo so you need to set it for both individually

[left mauve]

does the front trailer needs another code besides "/def/vehicle/trailer_cargo/scs_log/logs_12m.sii" ?

because I can't figure it out what I'm doing wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[cobalt nymph]

make sure you call the accessories different things

[left mauve]

I tried but idunno

I give up

[ocean turtle]

did you read what the log says?

[olive star]

Hey does anyone know where to get a Tripple trailer mod for ets2 single player

[static wind]

yo I made a job on trucksbook earlier and it was for a train, said it was 998 tonne and a 25 hour journey was 5.8 million, is that correct? seems like its way over tonne and reward

[mossy turret]

yea that ain't right

there's no job in the game that would ever give you 5.8 million

nor one with a cargo that weighs 1000 tons

[static wind]

yeah ive no idea, was a yacht

it wasnt the DLC one, maybe that's why

[silk cloak]

You can get it via save edit or via a mod, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695351448 🙂

[olive star]

Ok

[olive star]

Thanks

[river hull]

Is there a way I could open .scs files to modify them for personal use?

[cobalt nymph]

what do you mean modify for personal use?

[river hull]

like making an engine 3000hp for fun

[cobalt nymph]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=919722912

this looks like a much easier way of going about it

but if you wanted to you could make your own mod

[river hull]

oh

Thanks!

[cobalt nymph]

No problem! 😄

[static wind]

is there a way to run VTC custom liveries in multiplayer as even local mods?

[cobalt nymph]

yes, but no-one else will see them

[static wind]

I guess local mod would be the only way to get that working right?

[cobalt nymph]

yes, a local addon hookup model that would wrap around the model

[static wind]

alright, thanks!

[zealous remnant]

your truckersmp name maybe?

[cobalt nymph]

your username isn't tagable

[static wind]

could always do /nick

[static wind]

any skin creators in here?

trying to make a livery but i've got a feeling something is not liking the fact my truck is using the mighty griffin tuning pack

[solid smelt]

Anyone also have this? I went in to my SII, and my DAF_XF has a accessories thing with numbers and stuff. The tutorial I was watching had this for the Scania S. But when I tried it it isnt there. Any fixes?

[cobalt nymph]

Just buy a Scania S, save and then decrypt. It should then be there.

@solid smelt

[solid smelt]

Okay, I sold the Scania earlier, remade it exactly the same with the same problem

@cobalt nymph

[cobalt nymph]

You shouldn't have a problem if you save after you're driving the truck. You can then find the the truck by searching my_truck and searching the name after that.

[solid smelt]

Okay

I will try again

I was saving from menu, should I quicksave?

[cobalt nymph]

I prefer quicksave as it's easier to find.

[solid smelt]

Okay

Oh also

I forgot what its called and I cant really describe it

Oh I remember

Know the 'super' logo on the scanias?

Is there a way to get that on my truck on truckersmp? I dont mind if only I can see it

Oh, also I have never driven the DAF. I drove the scania a little bit @cobalt nymph

[cobalt nymph]

Local addon hookup

There's some servers dedicated to them

[static wind]

anyone, again a skin creator, know why my entire skin UV is just sitting on the chassis cover?

I must be using an ancient template or something

[solid smelt]

Idk what that is ;-;

[mossy turret]

some trucks may use a different skinning system

older trucks (MAN TGX E5, Iveco Stralis) have all the parts in one .dds file, you can paint them from there. Newer trucks on the other hand use a system that has different .dds files for different accessories

for example, the 2016 scania models have 1 dds file for the cab and front chassis, and have separate files for the sideskirts and rear fenders

[static wind]

yeah i guess i went wrong there, need to retry tomorrow

i mean, the skin is on the truck but for some reason the mighty griffin chassis covers has the entire UV map on it

are there obj files for the trucks so they can be done in 3D?

[solid smelt]

Anyone got a tutorial for the monsieur bibendum?

[static wind]

anyone got any good tutorials for wrapping a truck in blender for a local mod?

[mossy turret]

yes, the .PMDS and PMGS

[mossy turret]

none exist

you have to mostly figure it out yourself

of course there are plenty of tutorials on how to get a truck into blender and how to set it up, but since local modding is a fairly niche thing still, there aren't any tutorials for stuff that specific thing in blender

[atomic knoll]

How does one blender 🤔

What is blender

[cobalt nymph]

it's a kitchen appliance that you can use to make smoothies

[atomic knoll]

[dreamy sparrow]

Right who do I speak to about Idea,s?

[silk cloak]

#discord-suggestions for discord suggestions, forum for other suggestions 😉https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/forum/850-new-suggestions/

[dreamy sparrow]

Ok thank you I have set it all up Now for it to be Looked at.

[static wind]

Didn't forerunner have one? Atleast for trailers? I can't even seem to find that anymore

[solid smelt]

Anyone know how to get the monsieur bibendum on the front bumper guard?

Save editing

[cobalt nymph]

add an accessory there of the monsieur bibendum

in one of the slots of the front bumper

[solid smelt]

Someone told me to use my LEDs I have on the front, but I dont know where to find them

Also thanks for yesterday, I finally got it working

[silk cloak]

If I understand you correct, press F4 and enable them 🙂

[solid smelt]

Uhh I know how to turn them on, I want to add a monsieur bibendum to the guard, I know I just have to add the code from the bibendum to the LED's location, but I am not sure of the location. Thanks anyway

I am trying to save edit

[silk cloak]

Ah, sorry :) Good luck!

[solid smelt]

Thanks.

[cobalt nymph]

put an led in the desired location and then replace the path of the led with the path of the bibendum

[solid smelt]

Okay

Idk where they are tho

[cobalt nymph]

in the game.sii

[solid smelt]

How do I know which is the LED I want? @cobalt nymph

[cobalt nymph]

you're not going to use the led, so just put any accessory in the bumper slot you want

[solid smelt]

I know, but dont I need to know the location

@cobalt nymph

Like, of the LED

So I can replace it

[cobalt nymph]

search your numberplate in the decrypted game.sii @solid smelt

[solid smelt]

I know.. But what is the exact location of the LED, I dont want them to be in random places

[cobalt nymph]

so you've found your truck?

now find the bumper and replace the leds with bibendums

[solid smelt]

I have found it

Okay

Is the name for it f_bumper?

[cobalt nymph]

I believe so

[solid smelt]

Okay, thanks

I will take off the LEDS i do not want to edit

[cobalt nymph]

just replace the path for the led with the path for the bibendum

[static wind]

i think the LEDs you want to edit have to be on the truck for it to replace them with the modded ones

if that's what you mean

[static wind]

this

[solid smelt]

I know, I am removing the ones I dont want to edit just so I can tell exactly which one it is

I will add them back after.

Wait, wouldnt it show up in accessories?

Or on the actual front bumper

[mossy turret]

the tutorial is for basic blender local modding, not wrapping trucks

[solid smelt]

Uhh

How do I tell which accessory is the bibendum and which is the LED

[vast surge]

LED is named like smalllight with a number (1-6), unless you have the strobe, and bibendum... It's self explanatory

But where to find the right ones in game.sii is a matter of knowing which truck (are you driving it? Or what's their id/position in the list of trucks?), Then to find the accessory part that has those addon hookup slots, which you can either search if you know the name of part or scroll down until you find it

[solid smelt]

Ok! Thanks

So like this

Ok ty

[vast surge]

That's the front inlay (cab) of the truck btw

[solid smelt]

Ohh

Found the bibendum

[vast surge]

If it's the bumper or grill, it'll be f_bumper or b_grill

[solid smelt]

Okay

So I just add the data path to f_bumper?

[vast surge]

You just change the slot hookup name, not the path of accessory

[solid smelt]

Okay, thanks!

[vast surge]

Whatever that ends with addon_hookup

[solid smelt]

So I find the thing I want to change and change it to bibendum.addon_hookup?

[vast surge]

That's right

[solid smelt]

Okay, thanks alot!

[vast surge]

fun fact, you can have more than one part on a single slot

[solid smelt]

Cool

So y'know the like little metal kinda bumper thing you can put lights on, what would that be called in sii?

[vast surge]

Yeah but then you have to add slot name and hookup, and change the numbers so the game doesn't cry lol

[solid smelt]

Lol

[vast surge]

The b_grill?

[solid smelt]

Yeah, like that

Let me get a reference pic

I think its that

Like the thing at the bottom

The pics loading

[vast surge]

Slow upload, I know the struggle

[solid smelt]

The like metal thing you see at the bottom

[vast surge]

The most bottom one yeah

[solid smelt]

Yeah

Is it like a front grille guard?

Or whatever its called

[vast surge]

The square lights are on f_grill, but small ones is the bumper grill which goes under bumper, so b_grill

[solid smelt]

Okay, thanks!

Yup, the lights are on there

I can tell because I have 2 lights on there, and there is 2 smalllight.addon_hookups

[vast surge]

Yep, anything else before I disappear? xd

[solid smelt]

No, thanks!

[vast surge]

My DM are open btw

[solid smelt]

Oh also do you have a yt channel with around 300 subs? lol

Okay, thanks

[vast surge]

400*

[solid smelt]

You got 400?

Awesome!

[vast surge]

Last time I checked lol, still need to put up updated video for save editing

And intro is sooo old lol

[solid smelt]

lol

Congrats on 400

[vast surge]

Thanks!

[solid smelt]

Np

[icy violet]

make tht 401 ig

[solid smelt]

Tysm for the help! Wouldve been here all night looking for it lol

[vast surge]

Lol just don't be scrolling through 60000 lines

[solid smelt]

Lol

If you search up how to save edit ets2 your video comes up first

[cobalt nymph]

it's also pinned 😉

[vast surge]

By 3ventic I know ^^ I mean I was definitely not the first to learn about it, but it first started when there was not even owned trailers but I managed to make them sort of ownable, long before the update xd also it was my curiosity about colored trailers that picked my curiosity, and I wanted my unique touch

[loud mortar]

Hello, who can suggest a mod for engines from Scania?

[cobalt nymph]

for tmp?

[loud mortar]

For multipleer

[vast surge]

You can save edit the engine of Scania onto any other trucks

[loud mortar]

How?

Maybe you have a video?

[vast surge]

It's not that terribly difficult if you learn the basics of save editing, there is tutorial videos out there

[solid smelt]

@vast surge Hey, I have a question, can you edit sounds on save that work on MP?

Doesnt matter if only I can hear it

[vast surge]

I know engine sounds are bound to engines

[cobalt nymph]

so no

[vast surge]

Only way is engine swap, I use a Scania R 2009 engine on my Mercedes

[solid smelt]

Lol

Whats the best sounding engine in the game your opinion? @vast surge

[vast surge]

Old Scania r

[quaint stone]

Until the fmod Update my personal favourite was the old scania v8, but now idk xD

[left mauve]

anyone here able to skin the truck?

[stable python]

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to somehow add custom windshield stickers on TMP and if it is, how is it done?

[stray linden]

Yeah, I have it on my own truck. You need local mods to do so

[stable python]

Great, can you please explain how to do that? I've been struggling to find any answers elsewhere

[stray linden]

There's a server that has local mods ready, and you just have to install it

Or you use Blender and decryptors

If you want to go for the latter: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=190685

[stable python]

I've got no Blender so I believe this would do

[stray linden]

Can you turn on your DMs please

[burnt pollen]

Might consider local modding as well atm

[stable python]

No problemo

[static wind]

if any wizard figures out how to local mod a skin, dm me

i'll kiss your lips softly

[solid smelt]

lol

Anyone know how to add window stickers?

[cobalt nymph]

the hanging pendants are part of DLC packs

[solid smelt]

I have those

[cobalt nymph]

well then go to a service station and place them on the window

[bitter marsh]

I don't think he means that

https://ets2.lt/en/smg-sticker-v3-templates/

dunno if this still works

but I used to use this

and then just search for window stickers, modders have made alot of stickers over time

[tawdry pumice]

Mod in MP not support?

[cobalt nymph]

Only local addon hookups, save editing, Promods and seasonal mods are supported in MP.

[static wind]

Seasonal mods are, I use a winter mod permanently

unless they are timed seasonal mods for mp? Like they remove them after x period

Autumn and winter are supported as far as I'm aware but what do I know

[cobalt nymph]

yes they remove them. autumn is no longer supported

[static wind]

ohhh okay, figured that might be the case

[solid smelt]

Yeah I ment something like that

meant*

Like a actual sticker, not a pendant

[cobalt nymph]

Well that would be achieved by a local addon hookup which is more advanced than save editing so I'd advise that you learn how to save edit first @solid smelt

[vast surge]

I haven't learned yet how to local mod, but it's something I'm considering

[cobalt nymph]

it's very similar to save editing

except you use mail_ctrl as well

[quaint stone]

you can use the bus_job_log as well. Which allows you to view your Mails even with local mods xD

[vast surge]

I'd use the bus log, since it's an unused array

[hot warren]

is there a possible way to get custom paint jobs on TruckersMP. I tried doing local mods but that didn't work.

[cobalt nymph]

local addon hookups

[hot warren]

Thanks!

[static wind]

Quality is just a bot at this point

If you done a word chart in this channel it'd just be local addon hookups and local mods

[steep wigeon]

Whats these paintjob, PING ME!

[patent torrent]

Nice

@steep wigeon

[static wind]

any known way to get WoT missions working in promods at all? I'd guess not

Addressed everything correctly

Added the add-on on the truck and etc

but the thing is still not showing in the truck

[static wind]

I'd love to help you but I haven't done it myself yet

maybe a path is wrong?

[elfin zenith]

No I guess

It's alright

[crystal helm]

Does anyone have a mint condition tuned with all possible accessories Scania with a 770 engine and a 6 way rotor tuning under the hood, if you got one gimme a peak i might buy the design.

[final lantern]

Hello! I wanted to install the winter mod for multiplayer

And I can't find a "mods" folder

I created one and it still isn't working

What should I do?

[autumn drift]

The folder must be called "mod", not "mods". If you have further issues with getting the winter mod to run in multiplayer specifically I encourage you to send a screenshot of your mod folder in #support 😉

[honest crow]

how do i add promod maps to ETS2?

i have the midel east map

[jovial oar]

You download it the same way, as you downloaded the middle east addon

[gleaming monolith]

I made that mistake

Called it mods instead of mod

[honest crow]

how do i add it to the game?

[past token]

@honest crow: You can check the requirements and installation process for both ProMods maps here:
ProMods Europe: https://truckersmp.com/kb/614
ProMods Canada: https://truckersmp.com/kb/1122

[honest crow]

well the question is how do i add it to the game

do i just add a folder called mods and throw it in there?

[silk cloak]

You need to insert the promods files to the mod folder in Euro Truck simulator 2, if there isn't a folder called mod, then you can create it but make sure to call it "mod" 🙂

[honest crow]

ok

and for truckers mp as well

or just ets

[jovial oar]

Both

[honest crow]

ok
