I want to use custom sound mod for scania 4 RJL, but the custom sound mod also support scania nextgen S and I don't want that

how can I make different sound for my Scania 4 and scania s?

I want stock sound for scania S and custom sound for scania 4

[limber isle]

can somebody help me out rq

do all mods have to be scs

im trying to install some scania skins and stuff

but they're not scs files

they're rar files

i toss them into the mod folder i go in game and they dont load

i can select them in the game, but they dont show in the customization

[bitter marsh]

.rar files are archived files. They basically work like folders. The mod is inside of the .rar so you have to drag the contents of the .rar into the mod folder these can be in folder, .zip and .scs

[limber isle]

yh i do that all, they show in the mod section in the profile

but they dont show in customization

[bitter marsh]

You dragged the contents of the .rar file in?

not the .rar itself?

[limber isle]

the rar file itself

[bitter marsh]

so you didn't do all that

[limber isle]

they still load in the game though?

[bitter marsh]

The mod is inside of the .rar so you have to drag the contents of the .rar into the mod folder

yeah they just show up as the filename

they don't have any function though

you can make a folder in mod with 0 content and it's name will show up

it's just an empty folder though so it won't effect the game

[limber isle]

but the rar has like diff folders and files

[bitter marsh]

open the .rar with winrar/winzip/8zip or similar

[limber isle]

do i extract all that or

it aint just one single scs file

some scii files or smth

[bitter marsh]

I mean there's litterally hundreds of mod installation tutorials for ets2

just show me what's inside the .rar then smh

[bitter marsh]

that is not a .rar that is .zip

you can drag the .zip into the mod folder and it should work as normal

.scs is litterally .zip but renamed

so you always open up .rar's and on rare occasions mods will be packed within a .zip, but blame some modders for that 🙂

[limber isle]

exactly

yet they dont work

i dragged and dropped the zip

i go in game i dont see any of those tuning options

gonna try some workshop skins

[simple furnace]

Anyone know good Fuel Trailer mods?

For Fuel Transport and genuine liquid transport? or should i use the food cistern for it?

[ocean turtle]

Unfortunately no but if you find something let me know because I'm also looking for a good tank trailer 😅
Maybe we'll just have to wait for the Feldbinder DLC

[gaunt lagoon]

there is one for the feldbinder trailers?

[ocean turtle]

Not yet but soon: https://blog.scssoft.com/2021/08/visit-to-feldbinder.html

[gaunt lagoon]

nah

i know what you mean got mine from steam workshop 🙂

[ocean turtle]

Ah yeah that's no tank though

It's a very good mod though so I guess that's as close as it gets even though it's a silo

[gaunt lagoon]

It's close enough to the real thing

[ocean turtle]

I know I don't doubt that but he was asking for a liquid transport trailer no silo :P

[gaunt lagoon]

yeah just clocked that my bad haha

i see that he wants liquid based tankers haha

[ocean turtle]

But still feldbinder KIP is a good high quality mod so you can almost overlook the fact that its bulk not liquid haha

I hope SCS models will keep up with that because I'm so hyped for a good chemical tanker

[gaunt lagoon]

i mean will be good, one thing i would like to add is like tyre blow out and stuff would be awesome

and damaged to vehicles like visual

[ocean turtle]

True but most likely that's not gonna happen for licensing reasons, I guess no manufacturer would like to see their vehicles damaged in a game 😅

[gaunt lagoon]

imagine though would be good all real drivers have had a bang or twoo, mine was bending the rear bumper at a bakery haha

[last pelican]

Has anyone a Volvo f88 truck mod?

[thorny thunder]

Is that compatible with Fuel deliveries and such too?

[thorny thunder]

Yeah iv been using that haha

[ocean turtle]

No this is just for bulk not liquids

[ornate valley]

Try this one, might work. Read the description carefully
https://allmods.net/euro-truck-simulator-2/ets-2-trucks/volvo-f88-v-1-0-1-31-x/

[reef canopy]

Allmods.net is a Trojan.

Am not taking my chances on this one

[ornate valley]

Don't know about this, sorry

[reef canopy]

It's fine I could probably find this on simulatorgamemods.com.

My second mod finding website.

And I trust them more than any other mod website.

Although for anything official I go on the steam workshop or the scs forums.

[simple furnace]

I usually download my mods from ets.lt

and ets2mods.lt

and steam workshop

[reef canopy]

Very Trustable Websites.

[simple furnace]

ye

[swift panther]

probably not, the ads most likely are

wordpress website

as always

However those websites usually have A LOT of stolen mods

use trucky mods, am i right @tacit burrow

probably the best website for mods, but it doesnt have many mods uploaded on it currently

[jovial oar]

Steam workshop or SCS forum can also be some places

[swift panther]

yeah

or just use youtube lol

[void quest]

Does anyone find the realistic graphics mod?

[lofty lintel]

Hey, unfortunately the current version of the Realistic Graphics mod for ETS2 on the Steam Workshop is only compatible for game version 1.39.x. In update 1.40.x, SCS updated the graphics engine of ETS2 rendering the mod incompatible. As far as I know, the mod has not been updated since then. You can find out more about it here: https://frkn64modding.com/the-next-update-of-realistic-graphics-mod/

There are other graphics mods available however because of that 1.40 update, I would be careful to install them unless they specifically say that they are 1.40 or 1.41 compatible.

[gentle lotus]

Hello there, i don't get where the game gets the game_time setting in the game.sii when i setted the time to 0, does it get this Information from the Profit Logs? thanks for an answer

[mossy turret]

if I were you, I wouldn't even bother using that value to change the time

just open console and type g_set_time x where x is the time you want in hours

if you go over 24 (for example 25) then it'll move on to the game's "day 2"

[gentle lotus]

thanks for the suggestion, but what i was trying to do is to reset the game to day 1 - so i changed the values to something 0-10 and it resets every time to the time it was before. so i don't know if the game calculates this from the delivery_log / profit_log entrys

[mossy turret]

if you go to a random hour like 332, then go back to hour 0 you will actually see all jobs and time related things change

i'm 90% sure when you set the time to 0 it's day 1

also

just wondering, but what do you need day 1 for

starting a profile?

[gentle lotus]

Sadly its not, and its a profile in Week 2000, i wanted to check if its possible to get it to week 1 day 1, i want to understand the game.sii and why its reseting the Time to the previous state and if its linked to the Log entrys and if it gets the time from these

[mossy turret]

hmmmm

i would think there would be a central time in the save

@gentle lotus have you tried changing game_time?

[gentle lotus]

Yes i tried but it gets resetet when the game loads

though game_time_initial is at 0 in my file

[mossy turret]

it could be one of those things that the game doesn't allow you to change at all

like I know that you can't edit driven truck distance, it reverts after loading the save

Nope, that won’t happen. You’re not allowed to ‘redistribute’ files, so you’ll have to wait for it to download from chrome

[left mauve]

hey, does anyone know how i password protect the or lock the mods made for ets2 (made by me)
this is of course to prevent people from taking the skins from the files
feel free to @ me 😄

[timid idol]

I would not bother, tools exist to easily extract those type of files anyway

Using certain methods you can make it harder, but not really make it impossible

[left mauve]

ah ok, thank you for answering my question

[ocean linden]

The most effective method, from the ones I know, is using the Remove root entry function in this program: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=248485
Unpacking mods packed in this way, it is impossible to save the mod's structure. The files themselves can still be viewed, changed, and so on after unpacking.

[ocean linden]

As Forerunner correctly noted - any mod can be unpacked, but at least it will be more difficult than a archive with a password.

[timid idol]

I know I have made myself a tool capable of bypassing that "protection", so I would assume one probably exists somewhere.

[ocean turtle]

95% finished 😎

[ocean linden]

But in my opinion, such protection is already better than just an archive with a password. 🤔

[ocean turtle]

in-game vs. real-life

[reef canopy]

anyone know how to save edit green-blue headlights on a scania?

[flint pagoda]

how to convert mod from 1.32 to 1.41

[timid idol]

Depends on the mod, it’s not always simple and can actually be a lot of work in some cases. By the question I assume it is not a mod you made, so best to see if the author has updated it

[flint pagoda]

It's a truck mod (F.S.C. star 200). The author still has not updated this mod.

[timid idol]

Depends on your knowledge if you can update it or not.

There’s no simple guide

[flint pagoda]

I don't know how to update mods and how to make them.

[silk sluice]

Well, in that case that's not gonna be an easy task for you.

There are many changes since 1.32, like audio engine, def file changes, new lighting system, etc.

[flint pagoda]

Do i need any modding tools?

[silk sluice]

For audio: FMOD Studio
For def file editing: Any text editor, like Notepad++ or VS Code
For model update: Blender with the latest SCS Tools.

You need to check the logs for debugging, so you can note which part of the mod are need to be updated

[flint pagoda]

ok

[silk sluice]

For example do not expect working windows, as they're added with 1.37 (when audio engine changed), so you need to make animations as well.

[sweet sphinx]

Any sounds which is for truck and is Fmod

[left mauve]

It has to be Fmod? How do I know if it is Fmod?

[sweet sphinx]

if it's for version ETS/ATS 1.37 and above it will be Fmod

also it should have files which that plugin requires

[sweet sphinx]

in which mod folder did you put it in

[turbid tartan]

C:\Users\User\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod

Don't tell me it's the wrong...

You have to put it in ETS2MP/mod

[steep cedar]

how do you save edit for scania r/s?

[glass sparrow]

It depends what you’re trying to save edit

[steep cedar]

to make it low to the ground/ how everyone else has the michelin thing on the bottom with the green lights

[mossy turret]

you will need to edit truck accessories with save edit, in this case adding the DAF XF Euro 6 splitter and bibendums to make the truck appear lower and duplicate the headlights

i recommend this tutorial: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/44399-save-editing-tutorial-in-depth-video/

if you want to learn a bit more about how accessories work, scroll down on that page and open this drop-down

in that case it's adding cow cargo to a trailer, but the process is similar to a truck

also just keep in mind theres a high chance you wont be able to do the save edits you talked about right away

[thin cloud]

thanks @sweet sphinx

[gleaming urchin]

What do I do with the .01-.08 things in the pro mods download, imma just stick them in my mods folder.

the latest

with promods

i think

[gleaming urchin]

It says incompatible

ill restart and see if its just that

still incompatible

[lilac night]

which promods do you have installed

to use with 1.41 you need 2.56

[primal kernel]

Anyone got like a xenon led bar/ramp?

Preferable for 1.40

[ornate valley]

Do you have all map dlcs, except Iberia?

Also, you don't have to use mod manager on TMP fyi

[lilac night]

i thought u had to launch it with the mods enabled first

[ornate valley]

It's not necessary, TMP loads the mod in order by itself

[grave ibex]

@void questhow did you get your engine sound to work for the 1 series. My engine sound is broken lol

[grave ibex]

where u got those exhaust pipes

[void quest]

Maybe you use other sound truck mods just like compatable on nescau sound mods and the DAF NTT sound won't work for me so i disable nescau mods then the sound works for daf NTT

[grave ibex]

nevermind i was using the old mod of the 1series LOL

[void quest]

This mod updated to 1.41

@grave ibex

[grave ibex]

yeah i realied that

the other older version of the mod didnt have the newer engine sound

Or i mean the newer update

[void quest]

Because the truck mods who don't have FMOD sound that is from 1.36 or older then the sound won't work in 1.37+ i used 1.36 version the truck mods is from 1.31 and the sound works without FMOD.

Hi modders, for a while now I've been wanting to find a way which would allow me to change location of Virtual F2 Mirrors.

I found some forum post from 2016 where they suggested editing base.scs file and changing some numbers there.

I don't mind tinkering with this stuff, but is this the only way to do this kind of modification if I want to have it working in TMP?
Since i am guessing all those mods from workshop, even as small as moving the mirror to a different location, wouldn't work on TMP?

[sharp pewter]

anyone have a mod for truck info that is in tablet form also map lastly a side mirror camera too. Thanks in advance! have a great y'all!

[mossy turret]

changing the location of the virtual mirrors is not possible if you want to play TMP

it requires a mod, TMP only allows specific supported mods (Promods, seasonal graphics changes, etc.)

it can't be done with local modding either, local modding is a technique that can only add modded customization parts to a truck/trailer

[lofty lintel]

Are you referring to having it on a tablet in game as a cab accessory or as an actual irl tablet because SIMDashboard will do the truck info and more on an actual tablet. As far as side mirrors go, I don't think there is any way of modding them to have a stream irl or as a cabin accessory in game.

[sharp pewter]

@mossy turret example of the side mirror camera the one in daf 2021

Hey

I am wondering. If you install local mods on ets2. And your friend installs the same local mods. Will you be able to see the truck modded for both of you?

[sweet sphinx]

Hey and no, you won't be able to see it on someone elses truck.

[ornate valley]

If you're doing it on SCS MP, it should just work iirc but starting from 1.42 you can use mods officially anyway

[green hornet]

hi guys been a while since ive been on but it says im missing a file to play promods i had them all before but did a new one come out or something

[thin cloud]

for 1.41 you need promods 2.56

[lilac night]

yes

Ohey nika long time 🙂

Hope you are doing great

I forgot to mention i was on about convoy not tmp my bad

But someone said ets2 1.42 beta allows mods on convoy so that was easy fix

[sweet sphinx]

Yeah convoy have official mod support since 1.42, so you can use normal mods there, local mods still won't be visible.

[sweet sphinx]

I am doing fine, what about you?

[left mauve]

That will be useful. I have a friend that is getting older but loves trucks but they cant really use pc well

So it will be nice to use mods to have matching trucks which they wanted 🙂

Glad to hear youre fine, i am good thanks 🙂 i finished my truck finally

Glad to hear that

[left mauve]

The only thing i wish is to make the sides of my trailer skin light up. At night time its too dark

[sweet sphinx]

I am not sure if there is mod for that, it can be done in couple of ways depends on what kind of light you mean.

[left mauve]

You know parking light i think it is?

The one that when you turn your engine on that light comes on

[sweet sphinx]

yes

[left mauve]

On my truck the truck skin is registered as parking light. So when its dark the skin glows as it is a light

So i am hoping somehow to make my trailer basically a big lightbox thats seen as parking light. So that at night time the skin is glowing 🙂

I saw a mod for it on an scs trailer but i use krone coolliner

But i cant figure it out :/

[lilac night]

finally figured out editing these custom sisl flags (:

[light obsidian]

quick question. ive noticed that AI causes the game to lag on a very good pc. is there any setting to fix it? ofc i dont want to lower g_traffic because im fine with my current setting since i love to sit in traffic jams. (also i have some traffic mods installed idk if that matters)

[sweet sphinx]

There is no way to fix lag without lowering your graphics or amount of traffic.
When you have traffic on lets say 10, there is lots of AI cars, mostly stuck at same place since they can't move properly so that's causing FPS drops since it adds load to your system. That's same reason why you have low fps when there is lots of people around you in TMP.

[left mauve]

Even great spec pcs will have issues with it.

Also some mods will create issues so it could be the traffic mod adding to the problem which is why youre noticing it as bad lag

It probably already had a little lag then adding a traffic mod probably just made that worse

[deft zenith]

Evening gents, is there any up-to-date enb's available that is compatible with 1.41?

[left mauve]

Enb?

[hollow trellis]

How to make my game look like this men

[sweet sphinx]

you mean picture? if you mean that, it's edited

[hollow trellis]

Aww thought it was a ENB or shader

[mossy turret]

you would be able to create a similar looking effect with Reshade

aside from the blur

would take a bit but it's possible

[olive pulsar]

Can someone help me, I cannot get the nucleon paint on my own trailer correctly https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/810497769323888660/893648958772105266/unknown.png

[vague oak]

You need to remove the Body in the save and replace the chasis with this one: /def/vehicle/trailer/scs_box/reefer/chassis.sii 🙂

[olive pulsar]

somehow it seems closer

lmao

[vague oak]

delete the two "body"

i did it right now

[olive pulsar]

I did on the top one

do I need to do it on the bottom one?

or which

[zinc gazelle]

guys i've installed the autumn mod correctly as it says in the instruction but nothing happend? help :c it says etsmp launcher is supposed to somehow know that the mod is in the folder?

[zinc gazelle]

nvm i tworks

[left mauve]

It looks like the save game is reading the trailer as a reefer and a normal box?

Might be easier to just sell the trailer and buy a new stock one then save edit that

I assume since your save editing you done your money so shouldnt be an issue to just sell and buy new stock one

[neon hill]

Can anyone make a custom skin for me.

[misty kayak]

anyone know any good tandem truck mods for 1.42 open beta?

[lilac night]

doesnt bdf work?

[bitter marsh]

Yes but not for free. DM me

[lilac night]

anyone know if the def goes before or after the mod for jazzycats american truck traffic pack

[uneven hull]

Hey guys, Question about save editting , most of the save edit i can do myself, but this is some how bugged:
Changing the headlights from a scania (S) from led to standard. Someone i know who is on the same level of save editting as me can't do it either.

vehicle_accessory : _nameless.2c5.92f9.fb10 {
wear: 0
data_path: "/def/vehicle/truck/scania.s_2016/head_light/led.sii"

vehicle_accessory : _nameless.2c5.92f9.fb10 {
wear: 0
data_path: "/def/vehicle/truck/scania.s_2016/head_light/standard.sii"

[left mauve]

Does that light even exist?

Wait. If you want it stock why dont you just go to services and customize truck?

[timid idol]

If a save edit doesn't work, you can simply look in either the console or game.log.txt and find what the issue is. In every save edit case I have add, it has at least hinted at the issue

[uneven hull]

Because if i will do that, my other save edit dissapears .

[left mauve]

Ah okay

Gimme a min ill help but forerunner is right by the way

If you open your console and click expand. Read the red writing and it will tell you what it cant read. Gives you an idea whats wrong then

But ill find the code just gimme a min

[uneven hull]

How do i open the console ?

allright

[left mauve]

Press… anyone here on a pc and can type that key please?

[uneven hull]

``

?

[left mauve]

Its the key above tab

[uneven hull]

ye i though so

[left mauve]

Yeah you load game and click drive then press that it loads a small box at bottom then click expand and it makes box bigger and you can read the errors

[uneven hull]

mutiple error but no error on the headlights

[sweet sphinx]

make console a bit bigger and scroll up there should be more

[uneven hull]

there is more but no truck errors only garage error ( promods )

[quaint stone]

I think the problem is that the to paths above are for the head light flares, not the head light itself

You have to change "/def/vehicle/truck/scania.s_2016/accessory/f_light_chs/shape1_p.sii" to "/def/vehicle/truck/scania.s_2016/accessory/f_light_chs/shape2_p.sii"(_p if you want it painted, _blk if you want it to be plastic)

[uneven hull]

well thats it @quaint stone

i feel stupid,

[quaint stone]

When I started save editing I made the same mistake xD

[uneven hull]

but the difference is the look of the headlight and the output of the light, if im right ?

[quaint stone]

The one I posted changes the look, the output changes what you've posted. If you want it like the game intends you need to change both

[uneven hull]

So if i want the visability of the led I should change the standard back to led ?

[sweet sphinx]

yes

[uneven hull]

I didn't know this was a thing. Great

Thanks guys

[quaint stone]

But editing the "head_light" file can have some fun results. How about some red headlights?

Or even better: Pink?

[uneven hull]

Well, i still want it to a bit realistic 😅

[quaint stone]

The first color I did was yellow xD

Ah yes, the good old days where I messed with replacing models and long trailer combinations xD

Giving road train another meaning

[sweet sphinx]

Driving that is better

[quaint stone]

Definitively not broken

[sweet sphinx]

It's easier to say what's not broken on this pic than what is

[quaint stone]

Perfect.

[left mauve]

Im gonna find my ets2 trailer i save edited XD

Turned out well

Was hay at the front then white crane in middle then asphalt something on the back 🙂

Then i local modded myself some fun vehicles to use in tmp

[lilac night]

what does it look like for other player? s

[left mauve]

A standard skoda

[heavy pier]

Put it on workshop

[heavy pier]

How?
Interior?

[sweet sphinx]

It doesn't have original interior, it was using scout interior, did it over a year ago just for fun

[heavy pier]

Can you post it on workshop?

I m interested in having one

[glass sparrow]

Nika

[sweet sphinx]

There is already a mod which has converted AI cars, not sure if it have a train

[left mauve]

Hey nika

[sweet sphinx]

Hey

[left mauve]

How are you? 🙂

[sweet sphinx]

not bad, what about you?

[left mauve]

It doesnt have train but does have buses but wont work on tmp sadly

Glad to hear and im good thanks 🙂

[heavy pier]

Hasn t
That s why I asked you

[sweet sphinx]

Well, that mod is pretty old, not sure where files are saved ngl, not worth to be uploaded on workshop 🙈

[left mauve]

Nika

[sweet sphinx]

yes?

[left mauve]

What is your favourite thing youve modded for ets2 or ats?

Is there anything youve done that youre super proud of?

[sweet sphinx]

I need to think on that

[left mauve]

Okay feel free to dm if you think of one 🙂

I would like to make some but idk

[sweet sphinx]

I have started doing local mods and after some time moved on different things, AI conversions was actually first time when I was trying to modify files from base game and doing some random stuff

[left mauve]

You make local mods now? 👀

[sweet sphinx]

in rare occasions

[left mauve]

Nice 🙂

I done 1 then realised im terrible at it and have no skill for it so gave up :/

I wish i found something i was good at XD

[sweet sphinx]

I did thought same, when I started doing them, there is always a moment when you think that, but that shouldn't stop you from expanding your knowledge and skills

[left mauve]

True but i barely managed to convert a workshop mod to local mod XD

Then i see people that making animated signs and stuff takes them less than 30 mins and yet just converting a mod and moving its location inside the cab took me 9 hours

[reef canopy]

A normal skoda with some parts either missing or corupted

Or something like that I dunno.

[left mauve]

No nothing missing and nothing corrupted

It will look just like any other skoda in tmp it will look like standard skoda 🙂

[sweet sphinx]

Yeah, Scout doesn't have accessories which u can remove, other than front bumper lights which you can remove with save edit

[left mauve]

Nika maybe you will know this

If i find ai code for bus in game. Then i use some of that code to replace skoda body for example

That would work? Or does tmp not read any of the ai cars code?

[sweet sphinx]

it doesn't

[left mauve]

Ah sad 😦

[sweet sphinx]

it will crash your game, since AI cars doesn't have some parameters which are required

[left mauve]

Ahh okay 😦

[plucky harness]

could you send me that?

[left mauve]

The transporter?

[plucky harness]

ya

[left mauve]

I cant send you the mod but i can send the discord server link and the link to the mod message in that server

[plucky harness]

that would be great

[left mauve]

But it requires local modding you know how to?

[plucky harness]

yeah ive recently strted local modding

[left mauve]

Okay 🙂

[plucky harness]

started*

[left mauve]

I gotta dm you them as cant send links here

[plucky harness]

alr

[left mauve]

I might try and do something just to see if it works XD

I saw a local mod of exhaust with coal effects and im going to try and get them on a car XD

[left mauve]

How to get pink lights please?

[shadow willow]

so, i have a question about trailer mods. I found some cool heavy cargo dolly trailer mods, but they're all for older versions. Is it possible to just change some values in the mod so it works on the current game version?

cuz all the mods I could find are either for 1.32 or 1.36

[left mauve]

have you tested them?

some mods say for 1.36 or whatever but work fine on 1.41 or whatever the current version is

[ocean turtle]

it always depends on the kind of mod and how old it is. For example, version 1.37 broke all sound related mods, 1.40 broke older mods with the old lightning system etc. So vehicle mods from 1.32 or 1.36 definitely won't work anymore. On the other hand, mods from a few versions ago that only change definition files may or may not work with the current version. With minor changes such as 1.41 to 1.42 you can most likely just change the manifest.sii file inside the mod for the game to load the mod

[shadow willow]

It's a trailer mod which also adds new trailers models into the game

so it probably won't work in the newer versions then

but is there an easy way to fix it?

or do i have to change the models themselves for lighting stuff?

[ocean turtle]

idk you should try what works and what doesn't and see what the log says

[shadow willow]

well i have no experience in modding whatsoever

so prbably shoulnt try just incase i break something

[silk cloak]

Or make sure that you have a backup stored somewhere.

[left mauve]

If it isnt a local mod. It should be fine

I have a trailer for 1.36 and it works in 1.41

If the mod is broken all that will happen (normally) is it will crash your game. So just delete mod file then continue game

It will say crash detected load anyways? Click okay and because broken mod is no longer installed it should be fine 🙂

[shadow willow]

i mean, it works, but only on the freightmarken (as advertised)

is it possible to make it ownable?

I specifically don't want to save edit it since i'd have to explain to my friends how to save edit if we wanna play convoy

also, i cant find it in the job market

[left mauve]

Could share the profile with them.

What trailer models does it add?

[shadow willow]

i'll have to take the trailer as a job and cant find it as a job

[shadow willow]

gimme a sec

these

(this is a screenshot from ats but it also works on ets2)

[left mauve]

Ah okay yeah that explains why you cant find job

Did it add the trailer meaning you can buy the trailer or the mod is adding the trailer as a job?

[shadow willow]

its adding it as a job

[left mauve]

Ahh yeah you cant make it purchasable then

[shadow willow]

oh

[left mauve]

But

If you were open to save editing then it would be able to

[shadow willow]

i mean i'd be open to it, i have multiple save edited trailers. but it would have been easier as a mod so i can share it with friends

[left mauve]

You know what i would do?

[shadow willow]

what would you do?

[left mauve]

I would make a new profile. Name it for example “convoy” i would then buy truck and trailer. Have mod activated. I would then accept the job with that trailer i would then quick save with the mod trailer attatched then in my save file i would ctrl f assigned_truck then it would give me the nameless.numbers then i would ctrl f nameless.numbers then i would copy all of that trailers code into a blank notepad file. Then i would go back into game. Abandon job then attach my owned normal trailer. Then quicksave. Close the quicksave file and refresh then open it again. Ctrl f my_trailer find the nameless.numbers then ctrl f nameless.numbers and i would delete all of that trailers code apart from that trailers nameless.numbers. That has to be kept. Then once the rest of that trailer code is deleted i would paste the moded trailers code underneath the normal trailers nameless.numbers

That way its taking the code from mod. But its registering that you own that trailer instead of it being a job trailer

Then i would save the file load that quicksave in ets2 or ats whatever youre doing. Then i would save then i would share the save game with my friends and then share link to mod with friends

Yes. It does mean it wont be a job. But it would mean that you could all drive with that trailer

In theory you could even delete the cargo from the trailer bed code and that way it might register it as just the trailer without cargo which might allow you to use it for jobs.

Please keep in mind without me installing this mod myself and looking into the code i cant confirm this but in theory what i have said should work

[shadow willow]

as i've said before, no company it ats/ets2 offers the job

[left mauve]

But it might be due to where youre searching

Also have you tried sleeping ?

[shadow willow]

i havent clicked on any city so it should search all of america/europe

[shadow willow]

i dont do sleep

oh in-game

no

[left mauve]

In game yeah try sleeping

Also make sure you activated the mod in mod manager

And confirmed the change

[shadow willow]

i did

[left mauve]

Okay yeah try sleeping in game then check then sleep then check sometimes that works

[shadow willow]

imma deliver my current job first and then try that

[left mauve]

Yeah thats what i had to do to get a job

[shadow willow]

also i'd need a decripter to decript the save game right?

[left mauve]

Yeah you need sii.decrypt.exe

You can find that anywhere its even on tmp forum and scs forum i believe

[shadow willow]

oof, i've tried that many times and it never worked for me.

all my save edited trailers are made by someone else

[left mauve]

Have you changed your save format?

[shadow willow]

yes

its now "2"

[left mauve]

Okay so then what do you do?

[shadow willow]

right click the save and click open with and then sii decrypt

[left mauve]

Nope

You left click the save.sii just 1 left click then you drag the file onto sii.decrypt.exe wait a couple seconds

Then right click save.sii and click open with then click notepad

Or notepad++

[shadow willow]

oh

okay

thx

also

lets say i find some tripple trailer mod

[left mauve]

Okay

[shadow willow]

wouldnt i be able to just add the trailer files to that mod and thn edit the file names to those of the new files?

so i can effectively change the models used by that mod

to the ones of that one huge trailer

[left mauve]

Possibly but it doesnt always work i can show you an example

Mods i will delete this image in a few mins once elons seen what i mean

So this is my save edited 6 trailer custom edit

You see the trailer with the yellow pavement roller?

Look at the front of that 1 trailer

[shadow willow]

doesnt look different to the others

other than they all miss dollies

[left mauve]

It does

It doesnt register them as connecting

Even with dollys they flowt

Float*

So with 3 of the super long trailers its going to bug out terribly

[shadow willow]

hmm, but that the trailer in that image wasnt originally meant to work like that

the mod i found was meant to work like it does

oh like that

no i meant

the mod consists of 3 seperate models (trailers i think) that all hinge seperately

[left mauve]

Ah okay

[shadow willow]

they're effectively two huge dollies with one bridge connecting them

[left mauve]

Ohh makes more sense

Well. Try save editing see how you get on. If its 2 dollys and a bridge remember that instead of editing 1 trailer code you would need to buy a stock B- triple trailer then edit the 3 trailer codes so first trailer is dolly then second is bridge then third is dolly and on second one you would need to add parent trailer as first dolly and third trailers parent trailer would be the bridge

[shadow willow]

okay i'll try that

thx!

[left mauve]

Youre welcome

If you get really stuck just ping me and ill try to help but i get busier as the week goes on so might take me a while to reply but ill try to help if im not busy

[shadow willow]

okay thx

@left mauve i found the job. also, if we're in convoy they can just select "start same job" lol

[left mauve]

Did you need to sleep to find it?

Jobs are on timers see so as time changes so do job offers 🙂 so if you dont find a job you want best bet is to sleep in game then check again 🙂

[shadow willow]

yup, had to sleep

[timid idol]

Just read the chat, people still local mod? Not seen people doing it for a while. Got the original local mods backed up somewhere, I could show them if people want but they aren’t all that interesting as they were what I made to even work out of local modding was possible

[left mauve]

Why would people stop modding their trucks? 🙂

[trail zinc]

where did you find the taillights?

[left mauve]

They are local mod from someone called willer 🙂

I will find them 1 second

I dm you message link so i dont break their tos

[timid idol]

I don’t know, but it just seemed like less were doing it these days. Back when I first showed how to do it in 2018, it became the new thing everyone was doing for a short time

[left mauve]

ahh yeah a lot still do 🙂

hey forerunner i hate to ask something like this but im having real trouble working out something i cant get working with a mod

its something wrong in a code somewhere would you possibly be able to help me work it out please?

you know the like white dashboard lights? well i really struggle to see the switches. so i have a replacement file which turns them red. but for some reason it isnt reading the red file

oh hey nevermind i just forgot to edit the tobj file

so much easier to see switches now 😄

[bright grotto]

how to i put custom paintjobs in to TMP

[left mauve]

for just yourself to see?

[simple furnace]

how you make the gps bigger tho? what's the mod?

[bright grotto]

no for other people to see aswell

[left mauve]

i dont think thats possible rice

and i will try to find the name of it bruijn

[bright grotto]

ah

[trail zinc]

Did you find the nameplate in the windshield in the same place?

[jovial oar]

Local modding can produce some odd or interesting results, once you get the hang of it

[left mauve]

The nameplate is actually an animated banner so it scrolls through

Its in one of the servers im in yeah 🙂

[trail zinc]

okay thanks

[bright grotto]

i saw people with good year paint jobs on tmp how do i get them?

[left mauve]

Good year paint jobs are part of good year dlc packs

[frigid violet]

Can you send me the link of the mod?

[frigid violet]

If you are still interested I know a good mod.

[thorny thunder]

Yeah i am

[left mauve]

Mod? That photo has 7 local mods displayed its not a drag and drop scs mod

[frigid violet]

Can you give me the link of the local mod?

[frigid violet]

I'll send you the link in DMs once I can get on my PC.

[left mauve]

Youre not listening to what im saying. It is not 1 mod. Its 7 and then edited dds files and edited hex files i can send you a link to the servers where you can search for them but i cant send mod links as its part of the rules of the servers

[frigid violet]

Is it the Van Der Rolling server?

[left mauve]

Thats 1 of them yes

[frigid violet]

Can you send me the servers in DMs?

[left mauve]

Ok

[neon hill]

can someone make a skin for me? its my dads truck that i wanna have in ets2

[left mauve]

hi!

Where can I find attractive customization mod? so I want to use all parts in every truck.

[timid idol]

If you mean my old Additional Customisation mod which allowed parts from all base trucks on all other base trucks, the 1.41 version is only available in beta from my Discord server - for which I can't/won't send a link here.

[left mauve]

theres also a mod on steam workshop

I think its called parts anywhere and lets you use all parts from all trucks on any truck you want 🙂

[timid idol]

Not tried those, since I have my own, though from what others have said they are mostly derived from the old versions of my mod and have some issues

Not much of a mod but I might as well show it, extended SCS box trailer to match the trialled Longer Semi Trailers (LSTs) in the UK, 2.05m longer than standard. For SP/Convoy only of course

And a B-Double similar to that rumoured to be considered for a trial in the UK, with steering on the first trailer to fit within UK requirements. One already exists in the UK but not permitted on the roads. Also SP/Convoy only

[left mauve]

Interesting. Its a good idea but some of our roads are so tiny that they might struggle to turn still

[formal tapir]

^

They arent built for road trains lmao

[timid idol]

2 trailers isn’t really a roadtrain. That b double can go pretty much anywhere a normal trailer can, with the steering making the rear trailer follow the same path as it would if it was just a single trailer. For the long distance motorway journeys especially, it would not present an issue. The longer semi trailer though, can be a pain in small junctions for sure

And we do have “roadtrains” in the uk anyway, although very limited

[left mauve]

So that b double will follow the exact same path? Or it will swing out slightly wider?

Also random question. Anyone here have a template for the scania s 2016 high cab skin? And the scs dry freighter skin template please? I want to make an eddie stobart skin

[mossy turret]

i imagine the first trailer of the b-double will follow the exact same path as the tractor

so the second trailer will only require the same amount of clearance as if it was being directly pulled by a tractor

[left mauve]

Interesting. If that works and proves it can do that it would be a hugeeee benefit on uk roads

[shadow willow]

okay, so i have this mod for ets2 which should add trailers and cargo to the job market. the trailer shows up in the cargo listings but doesnt show up in the job market, anyone any idea on how to fix this?

[timid idol]

It does work. The Denby Eco-Link, which is in the UK but out of use, has that exact set up.

I’ll show a video of it on single player tonight if you want to show how it works in game

[left mauve]

Oh wow nice! And yeah id love to see that please ^_^

[timid idol]

I’ll get that recorded and uploaded then

[left mauve]

Thanks!! I imagine it would be a lot of use as i have seen a lot of these trucks in uk and theres like 3-4 trucks all going to same location

Also you mentioned something about your discord server for your truck mod? You own a modding server or?

[timid idol]

Yeah, old one. It was set up 2017 or something like that

[left mauve]

Would i be able to get an invite please? Its okay if you dont want to though 🙂

[timid idol]

That’s fine but it’ll be dm, not posting links here

[left mauve]

Yup i appreciate it 🙂

Theres 1 mod i would love to find but cant find it anywhere. In real life ive seen some trucks when they park they can lower there cabs so footsteps are closer to ground

But i cant find mod for it anywhere. I tried looking for lowered chasis mod but they dont make enough of a difference to make it noticeable

[timid idol]

Simply using a lift axle at the front might do it

[left mauve]

Well i use a taglift

If i could make all 3 axels lift axels it would be perfect but i dont think thats possible

I found some mods for 10cm lowered but it didnt actually look any different at all

[timid idol]

All axles can be lift axles, not on TMP though.

[left mauve]

Ahh i wouldnt know how to do that sadly but good to know it is possible

[timid idol]

If you look in the chassis sii, it should have an array called “liftable_axle”, set all of those values to true and the entire chassis will lower - but all at once. So you could not drive with just the tag lift raised

Could actually take that trailer for a test on 1.42 beta Convoy to be honest…

[left mauve]

That would be cool 🙂

I tried the 1.42 beta but for some reason when i hosted the convoy it wouldnt appear in the convoy list

I got my friend to try be the host and it didnt show either. Only way i could join was to join their lobby through steam

[uneven hull]

Hey guys, anyone can help me with the problem that my ''G_save_format'' everytime i restart my pc goes back to 0 instead of staying at 2?

[uneven hull]

I am helped for now. hope i don't need you help tomorrow 😛

[left mauve]

So forerunner it takes a lot of work to keep mods updated?

Been looking at some today and its suprising how many are outdated/abandoned projects

[mossy turret]

depends on the mod

some people just get burn out from doing too much in a short period of time as well

[timid idol]

Yeah, depends on the mod. For my Additional Customisation mod, updates are pretty much nothing now as each build is done fully automated by code. There are a lot of projects though that people either start and never finish or finish but move on from and never update. I have plenty of them myself. The old version of Additional Customisation totalled over 20000 files at one point, thats when I said enough was enough - it was mostly done by script even then but still needed a lot of manual debugging. A lot of mine just got left behind when I moved on to other things, I still have all the files and I may revisit them eventually

[left mauve]

Ahh that makes sense if they get that many parts to it then understandable they get abandoned

[timid idol]

btw, I also have these trailers, I have since fixed the shader issue on the decals. Not used anywhere in the UK (obviously) but I thought it would be interesting to try

[left mauve]

I wonder if that B triple could be extended to like say B- quintruple and it would still follow front trailer path.

Nice trailers! I wish we had the option to use stickers for normal tmp trailers so i could put 80 sticker on the back

[timid idol]

If you mean my B-double, no. Having 2 of those steered trailers in a row causes the 2nd to swing out very wide

[left mauve]

Ahh okay

[timid idol]

You can just about get away with 4 if you are on large roads by using 2 of the special trailers, a normal rear trailer, and a standard B-double trailer between the special ones

But really its best as a b double. Very easy to back up as well as it turns out, though take a bit of getting used to. Those small trailer pairs take a long time to get used to but once you get it down, they are okay

Could probably set those little trailers up for full roadtrain use with tracking, might have to try it

[left mauve]

Could be fun

Talking of mods and stuff like that. Is there a mod/way to get stickers on your trailer so it shows in tmp?

Because i assume there are base files of trailers with those stickers on?

[timid idol]

Shows for you? yes. Shows for others? no. If you mean custom ones

[left mauve]

Not custom ones

Im sure ive seen some in base game on trailers

[timid idol]

If they aren't an accessory for a trailer in the right slot, then no

[left mauve]

Sad

I like the fact that trailers irl have their warnings and max speed on them so people know

[timid idol]

Anyway, i'll head off now. Might take a drive in this over the weekend on a server, not sure which yet though. Depends whats going on really.

[left mauve]

If only i could too 😢

Whats the weight of it?

[timid idol]

35t

[left mauve]

Not as heavy as i expected 🤔 looks great though

[timid idol]

Thanks, They are lighter than the ATS versions which went up to 50t. Way more powerful though - but geared top speed is 62mph which they never reach in use

[left mauve]

Yeah i expected it to be around 50t but 35t is not bad weight to drive and thats realistic thats cool 🙂 only you have access to it?

Oh i just realised you said you were off haha okay take care 🙂

[timid idol]

No, there are a few others (won't name them) Each truck is named btw

[left mauve]

It is?

[timid idol]

all unique

[left mauve]

Thats an awesome thing to have like eddie stobart trucks

[timid idol]

From an event recently, names are beside the spare wheel racks. These two trucks have been used as a pair at events a few times now

[left mauve]

Theres a way the names are decided? Or its up to owner?

They would look incredible in a matte army green

[timid idol]

They can't be changed in-game. Neither can the paint actually

[left mauve]

Ahh interesting 🙂 still look great in yellow

[timid idol]

Again, thanks 🙂 They are awkward to drive though, about the length of a standard trailer

[left mauve]

Awkward because weird turning? Or just awkward due to length?

[timid idol]

Length but also the steering on them is not the best - plus without a load the throttle is very sensitive. They have enough torque to move around 600t, you can work out the issue when not loaded

[left mauve]

Yeah must be fun challenge haha are they standard width? They look wider than road lanes

[timid idol]

They are wider yeah

Under UK law they are classified as a "Locomotive", which incidentally would allow them to haul 3 trailers. Very speed limited though

[left mauve]

Then again with those trucks you probably wont be leaving the slow lane so can just use part of hard shoulder to keep other lanes useable i guess 🙂 should do a long journey in one like 3000km haha

I wonder how they handle in snow the tyres look like they could get grip on anything

[timid idol]

The ATS ones have been on the ice road in promods (they were in ETS2 for a while) - they would slide and it was tbh terrifying

[left mauve]

Yeah i bet haha well hopefully one day i can try one 🙂

I drove my volvo in iceland on ice roads and was very sketchy experience

Even used a heavy load thinking more weight would cause more friction and grip but no haha it was like the tyres were ice skates

[timid idol]

Always is like that on that road. Just best to go slow and avoid braking or accelerating too much while steering

Won’t take those yellow heavy trucks there though, not enough ground clearance in my opinion

They could probably do it though

[left mauve]

Yeah was a real struggle to get any type of traction but finally managed to get some then its the same as irl nice and slow but dont stop

Would be interesting seeing the truck tackle kirkenes

[timid idol]

That almost certainly won’t happen

[left mauve]

Oh now i think of it. I dont even think it would make it through the first cave tunnel

What was the other vehicle you had? I think it was you. At race day the like racing cup at silverstone an american big truck?

[heavy pier]

Interior?

@timid idol how I found it?
And where can I buy One?
Also how to find jobs?

[sweet sphinx]

It's not available for public

[left mauve]

XD could you imagine the chaos if everyone was driving round solid 35t vehicles XD

[heavy pier]

But?

[sweet sphinx]

[left mauve]

Is there a way to change in files to allow jobs for doubles anywhere? Or would i need to save edit my trailer to have the same load?

[sweet sphinx]

you can save edit and change source_name on trailer_definition

simply add/change with same type source name from single trailer

[left mauve]

Oh interesting that would make it viewed as a single trailer? 🤔

[sweet sphinx]

yes

[left mauve]

Ahhh incredible. Thanks nika i really appreciate it

[sweet sphinx]

You're welcome

[left mauve]

Took the time to learn these trailers then realised theres no support for jobs anywhere other than finland

[sweet sphinx]

There will be after doing this, but some companies aren't adapted for them so you might face some issues with parking

[left mauve]

Yeah some of the drop off points were a bit bugged but normally what i do is drive to final destination judge the space for parking. If i know its not big enough for double i abandon job due to not needing the money its no real loss as i still done the journey 🙂

Also nika maybe youll know this

Is there a place where i can find the files to see what cargos are in tmp?

I want to make a christmas trailer and i know scs added some christmas style cargos. So was going to see if any were in tmp files still so i could make christmas trailer 🙂

[sweet sphinx]

TMP doesn't have to do anything with that, if it's in base game files you can use it without any issues

So you have to search in base.scs for that

[left mauve]

I think i remember like wrapped christmas gifts inside of a trailer that had the small sides on? I cant remember the trailer names

[sweet sphinx]

any cargo is allowed except Special Transport cargoes

[left mauve]

Oh that reminds me to ask you something

I gotta find this mod because i was super confused

This is a local mod… but i thought the cargos cant affect gameplay so how is it so long? 🤔

[sweet sphinx]

Local mods which people are doing/using nowadays doesn't have collision

so it's not gonna affect to anything

[left mauve]

Ah that would explain it haha

If i can get better at blender i would love to make cargos that are those like big caravans that people live in like the wide house style caravans

[timid idol]

Local mods have always been without collision, well in terms of allowed ones. The more powerful form of local mods which could do a lot more had to be banned due to very excessive abuse that caused a lot of issues

[left mauve]

Yeah that makes sense i just never messed with cargos in the sense of i never tried any that were longer or wider than trailers

[timid idol]

Those large caravans btw are quite easy to make, might be a good project to try if you are wanting to get better at Blender. As long as you don’t try to go into too much detail.

[left mauve]

Yeah i really struggle with blender i struggle with short term memory so remembering where all the tools i need are and menus is really difficult

[left mauve]

Hey forerunner if you take that truck out at weekend please can i meet up somewhere and take a picture with my truck please? 🙂

[timid idol]

If I do take it for a drive, I’ll let you know

[left mauve]

Thanks 🙂

[gentle gyro]

https://youtu.be/6J4dsQaGPp4 how to maker?

[left mauve]

You know how to save edit?

If yes. I believe you would need to use a hct flatbed as donors then replace flatbeds with lowbeds

[sweet sphinx]

Those trailers doesn't have rear hook for second trailer so it wouldn't be same as it's in video

[left mauve]

Ah im not sure then 🤔

[left mauve]

Trying to help someone install a map mod on ets2 on mac XD

Why does mac make finding files so much more complicated than it needs to be

[cobalt nymph]

Isn't that just putting the files in the mod folder?

[left mauve]

Yes but on windows its my documents ets2 mod on mac its ~/Library/Application Support then euro truck sim 2 then mod

[gleaming urchin]

Okay so, I want to buy that one new renault truck, I believe the T Model, I go to buy it (In single player, I have a mod that puts all trucks in mod dealer so I dont have to get every single dealership) and as soon as I open the page, it just crashes.

Im gonna try and find the mod that is doing this.

I disabled a BUNCH of mods, and it still isnt working, I have mods that give things that can go in the accesory slot, they can go anywhere,

Ill try that.

I found what was screwing over my ETS now,
"Advanced Customization"
It creates this modification "hook" where u can get the mods from a different truck, I guess it wasnt meant to run with a Renault T

[left mauve]

Do you know about save edit tool? Theres 2 that i use one of them you load your save file into it and you can set it so every dealership is discovered. That way you can just buy from renault online

I dont see what advantage buying every truck from 1 dealer gives over just quickly switching between dealers and not needing to use mod

[tepid juniper]

that mods is broken coz i can load up mods jnormally and they show where as if i got to use the truck dealer it crashes coz there are trucks that dont work in the dealer where as even if you dont use the mod dealer the modded trucks still show

[mossy turret]

yeah, that mod has an issue where if you try looking at the Renault through the online or mod dealer then it'll crash

if you look at the reno through the normal dealership, it won't crash (but will have a weird fender)

[void quest]

does anyone how to fix the schumi mods for scs trucks that is incompatable

[sharp flint]

@void quest Ask the Creator of the Mod for an Update or wait until he Update it. You can do nothing to fix it only the Creator can do.

[harsh lagoon]

Anyone good with making ETS2 company skins into a skin I can use on an owned trailer?

[trail zinc]

what skin you want made

[cedar dragon]

is anyone here good at save editing? if so please dm me i need help with getting green lights. it saves everything in the sii but i can't see it in game

[sweet sphinx]

Most likely it fails to load save due to some error, check console there should be it

[cedar dragon]

how do i do that

[sweet sphinx]

if u have console enabled just open it, if not then check game.log, it's located in /Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/

[cedar dragon]

it worked now, i think i did something wrong yesterday lol. but thanks anyway

[harsh lagoon]

I want to be able to use the Train foundry Trailers as a Refeer. But as my own trailer.

[trail zinc]

Where can I find that skin

[harsh lagoon]

I’ve attempted and it broke. Give me a few minutes and I can show you.

[harsh lagoon]

here is the monstrosity:

[brave marsh]

nice photos

[harsh lagoon]

Here is the code:

 data_path: "/def/vehicle/trailer/scs_box/reefer/company_paint_job/trainfoundry.sii"
}

[trail zinc]

you have the entire file folder

[harsh lagoon]

You mean the entire trailer code or the entire .scs decoded?

[trail zinc]

scs

[harsh lagoon]

Uh No I borrowed it off of this trailer's code:

The way I obtained this trailer is no longer available.

[trail zinc]

is it a scs trailer?

MP

[harsh lagoon]

This trailer is a trailer I own. However, the company Train Foundry is in SCS's Iberia and Black Sea. https://truck-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/The_Train_Foundry

[ornate valley]

You need to save edit the entire job trailer, if you want to have the skin working correctly afaik. If you apply just the skin to a trailer you get from the dealer, it glitches out like you see here

#ets2-modding message

[sweet sphinx]

You need to remove body and replace chassis from job trailer

[ornate valley]

Or the body removal yea

[trail zinc]

how

[ornate valley]
