[cosmic glacier]

he did?

[winter seal]

Sorry about breaking most of the existing combinations. I was being lazy in the definitions and overwriting the originals. In order to have hook and non hook versions of Box/Flatbeds I had to undo that which means all the old chassis will break. Easily reconfigure the trailer to fix it though, you don't have to sell it and rebuy.

[cosmic glacier]

these work in mp right?

[winter seal]

Nope, custom assets. I edited the chassis to give them to hook to attach the dollies to.

[cosmic glacier]

oh

[woven girder]

Could you save edit triple and quad 53' trailers with your mod? I think it could be done... 🤔

[cosmic glacier]

ima try it now

[winter seal]

yes standard save editing works fine with them. You just need to use the correct chassis code. The hook trailers are the same as the standard except at the start they're chh instead of ch
eg: the 53ft 3 axle Box with hook is chh_53_3a

[woven girder]

Sweet, thanks.

[hallow rain]

i have a question about local mods. i never really looked into them. but does that support graphics? i used to use a realistic roads mod all the time. would that be possible to use with local plugins?

[pastel shale]

if i got the viper peterbilt 389 mod and got the extended chassis with nothing else would the chassis remain that long if i went to multiplayer and would everyone see it the same as me?

[chrome peak]

If chassis is default in game one, it will

[pastel shale]

well its longer than the in game ones

will it still work?

[chrome peak]

No

[pastel shale]

dang, what would it look like to everyone else if i did use it?

[chrome peak]

Nothing if u will load save with that chassis in mp it will automatic change it to something else

[pastel shale]

oh ok

thanks

[atomic void]

Should i fill this with lights?

[hallow rain]

Oof

[atomic void]

Yah I've been staring at it for 3 min to find where I should start

[hallow rain]

I don't blame ya. Its nice to have options but thats to many options

[atomic void]

blinkers off

blinkers on

i just wanted to test it im changing the design

shi my game crashed xD

[hallow rain]

Haha

[dire warren]

Lmao

Because you can doesn't mean you should

[atomic void]

yeah

i dont think the game likes the lights

it keeps crashing

Yeah no lights...

[cosmic glacier]

bruh

imagine that in mp lol

[atomic void]

Ikr

[cosmic glacier]

i'd go on the radio and me ligger 'boi shut yo lights off'

[atomic void]

lmao, id be to bright for you to see me

it would be like a star comin down the highway

[dull echo]

https://tenor.com/view/big-bang-stars-gif-14806439

[atomic void]

yep

why is a 50sec video taking forever to upload

[dull echo]

internet

[atomic void]

there we go

[cosmic glacier]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

youtube

[dull echo]

well its definitely something

[atomic void]

yeah

that is on the bridge of not crashing

any more itll crash

[dull echo]

it appears smooth but its hard to tell how responsive it is to ur inputs

[atomic void]

yeah

it is nice tho xD

[atomic void]

here it is at night

[latent iris]

Anyone know if its still possible to do this?

Have tried it and it re gens a new wheel

[solemn hearth]

It would be nice to have with the T680 Day Cab.

[pastel shale]

Yeah i see those alot that would be cool, there is a mod on the workshop for a single axel t680 but it doesnt work in multiplayer cuz like he said it regens the second axel.

[hallow rain]

Yea i need to go threw and get all the cabs and chassis to see what fits nicely.

[pastel shale]

Try a volvo cab on a mack chassis

Or vice versa

[hallow rain]

Hmm ok ill give that a shot.

[pastel shale]

No particular reason or anything but i thought it would be interesting

You could also try the t680 and the mack

They have a similar cab shape

[hallow rain]

Yea i tried quickly one time and the fenders wouldnt line up well but never put some time into it yet

[pastel shale]

I dont even understand how you do it so what im recommending is impossible for me to try and do

So i dont know how hard it will be for you

[hallow rain]

Ah yea. Its more finding a chassis and a separate cab that the tires fit i the fenders well because of the slight difference in size or connection point to the chassis. Then the rest is easy.

[cosmic glacier]

any have noice ats mod list?

[pastel shale]

I would recommend the 389 with the w900 but as you said about the fender thing the peterbilt is much smaller than the kenworth so idk how that would work, the only save editing i do is when i get a mod that does the same thing as save editing.

And is there a way to make an extended chassis?

[abstract spear]

Does anyone have the ownable 55 scs lowboy that works for TMP?

If so, DM me

[latent iris]

I do!

[abstract spear]

[agile hamlet]

does anybody know any mods that can make your truck roll coal? ive been tryin to find on for awhile now

[pastel shale]

#ats-modding message

Something like this?

[low garnet]

its just a node. its constant smoke regardless. even if the truck is shut off

[hallow rain]

Im so tempted to do that just for some pictures

[low garnet]

i have flames for my truck. which i have routed through a separate local mod so i dont need to have them on all the time

[hallow rain]

Nice. I would want to use it for my ets truck with the actros duel stacks onnmy truck

thats just the older version of the truck that i already posted a while back

[hallow rain]

Oh thats awsome

[pastel shale]

Its cool but it looks like something is terribly.wrong with your engine

[low garnet]

again, shockwave. its called aesthetic. shockwave had flamethrowers in the stacks.

[cosmic glacier]

lol

[low garnet]

while the stacks themselves were still functional as per normal

18 wos also had this on the final tier w900 you could unlock.

[reef bronze]

Which 18Wos??

[slender aspen]

Looks like ALH. Not sure never played that one.

[low garnet]

it is american long haul

[reef bronze]

Dang I want that now

I'm gonna have to redownload it

and grind to the final Tier

[low garnet]

@reef bronze strike that, its rig n roll. not 18 wos.

[reef bronze]

oh okay that makes more sense

tbh

[low garnet]

a wild you appears

[reef bronze]

[low garnet]

always adding more but now my mp triaxle has a heavy duty winch

[tepid chasm]

@low garnet I’ve seen shockwave, he’s come to Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels, for an air show when I first moved here four years ago

[solemn hearth]

@low garnet A wild truck and trailer with local mods and missing parts appears.

[low garnet]

nope. everything i design fits as a shell. you will always see a complete truck. not a truck with missing parts.

[pastel shale]

How do you local mod, doesnt tmp cancel all mods?

[open stratus]

@cosmic glacier there is no folder in my profile

also i play roblox tho

C:\Users\LAPTOP\Documents\American Truck Simulator\profiles

there is no folder or file

[cosmic glacier]

OMG

You need to make a profile first

[woven girder]

@open stratus Turn off Steam Cloud saving on the profile first.

When you start the game, select the profile, click edit, and uncheck the button by "Steam Cloud Save."

Cloud saved profiles do not show up, if you want to edit them you need to turn that off, once you finish the edit you can turn it back on if you want.

[open stratus]

Alright

@hallow rain looks gay 🙂 just kidding

[hallow rain]

just putting parts together to see if i can find something that looks decent. I put the bull bar on for giggles

im joking bro 🙂

you can do what you want lol

least it sits up more tho dont have to worry it hitting the ground on dirt roads

[hallow rain]

True really wish the mack had some of its own bull bars though

[tough comet]

its a 2020 model right

maybe in RL if nt that old hasnt got accessories just yet

i got no clue lol

[tawny axle]

Anyone got a good tandem mod

[outer charm]

He isnt joking... @hallow rain

[sleek sandal]

@Blah1945🐺 Try the T680's bullbar might look better

rip ping

[hallow rain]

Ya unfortunately how the bumper sits on this chassis the smaller bull bars actually float below it. Im just mashing parts to see if i can get something decent. Its no were near done. Ats is way harder to mash trucks together than on ets.

[low garnet]

because all the truck nodes for ats trucks are all in separate locations in relation to model origin. its next to impossible to mix parts unless youre doing something similar like bumpers or filters for the 389 and w900

everything else just really doesnt work without horrendous clipping

[dire warren]

Yeah the "objects" all have a relative position from a certain point, which are designed to fit for specific trucks. So it'll have that same relative position depending where the node for that object is on different trucks. So there will be some offsets if the truck shape is really different or if the node is really not at the same place like another truck.

[hallow rain]

Yea its unfortunate we cant adjust the positions of objects

[dire warren]

Yeah it's "hard coded"

[raw lark]

what is the current temp beta , for mp

haven't been on i n awhile

sorry wrong place

[cosmic glacier]

Are the ATS mods, specifically the GPS voice mods supported in MP? I had the Google voice enabled but when i joined MP it disables it and says not supported.

[low garnet]

mp doesnt allow any mods

[hallow rain]

Only mods compatible with tmp on ats is grimes summer mod

[warped wren]

this might be a silly question but are there any car sound mods for ATS? I like to drive the Scout around and I'd like it to sound like a real car lol

[woven girder]

I have a lovely question for the save editors. Is it possible to use a police plate on a truck via save editing?

[upper sinew]

Anyone know how to make a livery, I have made liveries on other games just wondering how to do it here. Is it like a template that you get after UV mapping it or?

[deft plinth]

you need a UVmap

i highly recommend this program to compile the texture into a working game file structure if you're not experienced in that department. https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=274650

@upper sinew

this is the perfect place to get all the truck and trailer UV Maps https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=272386

[woven girder]

@upper sinew In ATS/ETS2 they mainly refer to them as skins and you can make one off of a template.
https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=280078
This is the source I currently use, I will warn you, the creator put it in mod format to help with testing, but the templates are the same.
You will also need an app to create the skins on, (Paint.NET or Photoshop works well, I use Paint.NET), you also need a TOBJ Editor and something to edit .sii, .sui, & .mat files, Notepad works fine.

If you need any more help I'd recommend looking up tutorials on skinning in ATS.

For the TOBJ Editor, Mods Studio 2 (the link that GetForkStabbed put above), works well.

[empty wolf]

Anyone need a pilot car

[woven girder]

@empty wolf Are you meaning a mod or in Multiplayer?

[empty wolf]

Oh u h m yeah wrong channel lol

[grand kernel]

@woven girder as for your question about using Police related objects or contents in or on your on your truck by safe edit or whatever , keep in mind that you will not be able to keep or use them within Truckersmp server ... { Rule 1.5 : Impersonating other users, staff members, political figures, law enforcement, leaders and authorities of any kind or acting like someone who is more superior. This can be through the way you drive, use the voice chat, your avatar, your license/interior plates, username and/or your in-game tag. } other than above you can use Police related object or contents in or on your truck while being into Single Player mod.

[woven girder]

facepalm

I just explained this on #ets2-modding... I'm referring to the literal in-game ai police car license plate. On singleplayer. Thank you for warning me, but I know the rules to TMP well, as a member of this community I make it my goal to stay within those limits.

[sleek sandal]

Yea its unfortunate we cant adjust the positions of objects
@hallow rain Yeah If that was possible I would have been able to easily fit a good old Canadian Moose bumper on my 680. The one on the W9 would work lol

next mod from my NitroModz thats currently being worked on will add PTO functions to all base trailers that scs never bothered adding a 4th line for.

[woven girder]

Nice! I mean most trailers only have the three lines...

[low garnet]

Power take-off is the 4th line

[woven girder]

I know that, but most trailers do not have it.

I've been able to add hooks to a few different stock game ownable trailers. Log trailers got a hook plus long load signs.

There's a link in there to the no restrictions add on which will let you drive them in Oregon/Washington/where ever.

[outer charm]

Anyone knows if there is a tri wheels mod for Peterbuilt trucks version 1.38?

[foggy lava]

When it comes to mods what trailers can i use on Truckersmp

I apologize for this brutally stupid question im fairly new and just my curiosity will kill my cat

ok so if i pick up a trailer mod from a mod page i should be good to use it?

ok I will try to get someones attention maybe just ask in the support section

thanks for the help i appreciate the time you took to deal with my question means a lot

lol

my cat is probably dead but thats neither here nor there

its ok I have a replacement

well got my answer

thats a big fat no to the mods on trailers

that is ok ill live

so will my cat

and the cat before him

[reef bronze]

@foggy lava trailers mods that contain content different than what is already in the game currently won't work.

[foggy lava]

Ah makes sense I appreciate it^

Thought I would be able to get away with a huge trailer but guess not haha

[reef bronze]

You can use mods that modify the double or triple Sets or make B-Triples or B-Quads

@foggy lava

[foggy lava]

Ah ok thank you

B quads sound like a pain to travel with tbh

[reef bronze]

I sometimes pull a B-Penta

[foggy lava]

That’s actually really impressive I’m not that great with my turns to make that happen haha 😂

[reef bronze]

Yeah it takes some learning but I've gotten the feel for it so I drive it no problem

[foggy lava]

When I drive oversized loads I usually knock my trailer into signs on accident due to me miscalculating the spot when I should turn

I need to practice that and also buy more trailers

I have two but I need to pick up some more

[reef bronze]

Yeah its just knowing how the trailers drag behind ya truck

[foggy lava]

Yup and it doesn’t help the first truck I bought was the W900 long wheel base with 300gal tank and max engine upgrade with 18geared tranny

So learning to turn with the extra length added by the truck is a pain

I’ll get there tho

[reef bronze]

I'd recommend playing with the trailer alot in SP so you can learn how they will track behund you and how wide you should make ya turns. So you won't cause people some headache or look like fool

[foggy lava]

Ah yeah I think I’ll do that first I know there is a trailer mod for SP I want to try out that gives you these giant loads like massive and you have two simultaneous moving parts to go around corners it’s super cool

Hi does anybody know a mod that allow you to have the option of buying a used truck rather than a brand new truck?

[modern solar]

so im doing trailer skins and I exported my trailer skin at 500 dpi

which gave me 28500x 14500(ish) png image. is this too much?

[distant hatch]

All trucks are brand new

[woven girder]

@modern solar You do realize that one side of that trailer will have the logo in the front and one will be on the back, right?

Honestly idk about the image size, I always stuck to exacts.

[modern solar]

yeah im new to this

[woven girder]

No worries! I only have a small amount of experience for myself.

A tip for future reference, if you look closely at the trailer template, it has arrows pointing which way is the front. :)

Top is right (as the front) middle and bottom are both left.

[modern solar]

ok so im having a issue where my pc is just recognizing the .dds files as paint.net files how to fix

so i searched up a dds viewer and downloaded it and still get the same errors

[glass heath]

Right mouse click on the file, select “Open with” and then whatever program you want

[crisp quartz]

Hey so I'm new to modding and I wanna install this truck, how do I do that?

[chrome peak]

which truck?

[modern solar]

Right mouse click on the file, select “Open with” and then whatever program you want

but what do I open it with

I made a temporary .exe file and opened the .dds files with it and then deleted it to reset it and I still get the same errors

[glass heath]

I dont know, I dont even think these files are supposed to be opened

[modern solar]

ima go take a look at some other trailer skin mods and see how they work

i think it might be might textures are too high in quality/size

[modern solar]

still getting the same errors

i don't get it at this point

[modern solar]

i have all the .tobj files directories named

everything in the ui/accessory folder is correctly named

[woven girder]

Yes they are supposed to be opened. The .dds files are know as Direct Draw Surface files and they are the images used to make skins. The TOBJ file tells the game which dds file to use for certain things.

@glass heath

[glass heath]

Right okay I thought that only the game.sii files are supposed to be edited

[woven girder]

Nope, every single part of a skin mod can be edited, it just happens that TOBJs require a TOBJ Editor instead of simply using a notepad.
.sui files can also be edited like .sii files too! :)

Honestly, if you know what you're doing, the entire game could be edited if you try hard enough. But even if you don't, there's still a lot to edit in not only the game.sii files but also the other .sii files.

[modern solar]

ok I think I made my thing even worse
the mod just crashes when you select the paintjob

00:02:17.137 : [Vehicle accessory]: 'costco_box.scs.box.paint_job' /def/vehicle/trailer_owned/scs.box/paint_job/costco_box.sii

anyone know what this means?

[woven girder]

Crashed?

[modern solar]

yes

[woven girder]

It's failing to open a file due to invalid path, so it might simply be a mistyped path in one of the files.

[modern solar]

alright ill go search through my files

[modern solar]

i added new files

and replaced old ones

and I still get a crash upon selecting the paintjob

ok I have replaced every single .tobj, .sii, .sui, and .mat file and i still get a crash upon selecting

[modern solar]

replaced the .dds files too and it still crashes

[lyric bronze]

hello

[modern solar]

does anyone know what this error means?

i have the .dds file save config like this

[knotty tundra]

Your dds has the wrong dimensions. It has to be Power of two. Most used is 2048x2048 or 4096x4096.

Or if your dds is in 2:1 you need to have it in 2048x1024 or 4096x2048

[modern solar]

ah ok

[tender halo]

Are we allowed to save edit paintjobs in TruckersMP?

@modern solar What do you use to make trailer skins?

[modern solar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1514680237

[raven abyss]

I watched a couple of youtube vids, got the free software and cant belive how easy it is. Im working through my first combo skin now. Hardest bit is using photoshop type stuff and learning what each part of the templates is.
One tip from me, try creating a skin with no colors etc on. Just the template background. Look at it on your truck in game so can see where each part wraps over

[woven girder]

Or like I did and color separate sections with different colors so it sticks out.

[raven abyss]

I think i grabbed some templates where someone had already done that. Makes it so much easier. If i can make a truck skin, anyone can lol

[woven girder]

Yeah the example skin does that but it is also much simpler, I break it up into much smaller sections.. 😁

[modern solar]

I don't really like this trailer it's a bit weird.

[signal musk]

wow that looks amazing and with the push truck my guy!!!

[dreamy nacelle]

i think it would be sweet if someone made a mod that enabled the freight market to focus on one specific industry no matter what city/town ur picking up from. example, if someone wanted to specialize in agricultural haulage , all their loads would be hay, tractors, plows, etc etc

[reef bronze]

I could see that being something useful in the drivers area

legit?

should i trust the first thing is im new to modding outside the steam workshop so i need help figuring out how to get this to work

[woven girder]

First of all, I believe that is the legit latest version before the disappearance of the mod.

Secondly, installing it is very simple, take the zip or scs file and move/copy it to '/User/Documents/American Truck Simulator/mod/'

Make sure you click the right download button & download the right file.
Happy modding! :)

For using it in game is just the same as the workshop.

[somber magnet]

[charred parrot]

Anyone know of a way or confirm if possible to

1. Lower weight of Freight Market load of KW T680s (just 0 for cargo mass is no go from my experience lol)

2. save edit KW T680s in a way as an ownable trailer that doesn't leave half of the trucks behind upon delivery

3. add long load banner to back of the long gas trialer chassis.

Must be a save edit "fix" compatible with TMP please.

Please dm or ping me in reply.

[low garnet]

@charred parrot 1) You should never have a cargo mass of 0. the game can not process that and creates weird after effects.
2) No. the trucks themselves are classed as cargo. they will always despawn upon delivery.
3) No. there are no accessory nodes on that trailer.

[dire warren]

I can confirm all of that. The trailers will act up and glitch through the ground and fly in odd ways if you set the cargo mass to 0. Although, having it as 1000 seems fine or maybe less.
Also yeah unfortunately the game will treat the truck models on your truck "train" as a cargo, so taking deliveries will make you lose them after completing a load.
The gas tanker doesn't have a place set to put long load banner, so it will not show up as usual for any accessories that you try to add that the vehicle doesn't have a node for it.

[charred parrot]

@low garnet yes, that's what I figured, but hoped it could be save edited in some form. Some of you all are magicians with what's possible beyond my knowledge

@dire warren THAT would be more than fine with me. but just setting it to 1000 didnt seem to change anything. Is that possible with Freight market or owned trailers only? Seems like the "mass" is coded. how would I be able to determine 1,000 and it work? Im just trying to lighten my load so Im not too slow off the line in front of the convoy =p

Again, Pings are greatly appreciated. Thank you

[dire warren]

@charred parrot From my experience with messing around saddle trucks, setting every "trailers" with the saddle truck with a cargo mass of 1000 wouldn't glitch and work fine for me, without glitching when spawning it in the garage. The "tow" bar is only 100 kg, and the saddle mount (on second and third trailer) is 50 kg. Some people prefer using the second due to the way it handles, how it is shorter and have a better feel when turning and reversing.
In the game, each trailer parts have a chassis mass, owned trailers sometimes have a body mass too, which is defined in the sii files (which can only be modded, so not usable on TMP). The cargo mass is defined in your game.sii file for each trailer parts.

[charred parrot]

@dire warren Are you suggesting you can edit the "tow" bar at the front? Also confirm 1k weight IS in fact possible with Freight Market load?

Sorry Im so noob. Trying to learn!

[dire warren]

With modding, yes you can edit the weight of the tow bar, although it won't work on TruckersMP, since it disables the default mod manager. Same thing applies to the cargo mass in the freight market, possible, but won't work on multiplayer.

[charred parrot]

ah, oh. That's all I was concerned with was MP. It's all I play.

I know you can edit ownable trailers but wasnt sure about freight market. So I guess all you can change is the appearance then.

[dire warren]

Yeah, with save editing, you can edit owned trailers, mix owned with company, or even have company trailers in garage (company trailers as in trailers you don't normally buy through the trailer dealer)

This one was a pain to handle lmao

[low garnet]

it does reach a point where things start to become "unnecessary"

[reef bronze]

Just do 4 of the first truck with the tow bar then keep the last one as third and you have a pretty nice setup

[hallow rain]

yea that combo of benji's was more just to see if it worked. it wouldn't be practical to actually drive it around

Topic: longer trailers are not shaking in tilted in the slightest. Question is how would i do that? i have mass ratios on the trailers except i was informed that was rendering incorrectly. this is what i am after is to learn how their trailers were not angled but i do not know what chain type they used, mass ratios or if the source_name was altered http://prntscr.com/ub1w8g

[winter seal]

For whatever reason flatbed trailers tend to be very stable in large combinations on TMP. Box trailers however can be very unstable with a 4xB + 53ft box combination having the 53ft trailer sitting fully in the ground/in the air and jackknifing up to right angles relative to the combination when driving for other players.
The biggest flatbed I run is a 45+28B+28B+53ft ABB Quad and it is more stable in MP than a 45+28B+53ft AB Triple Box trailer I run.
You also can't tell the stability of your own trailer as your game will show it behaving properly.

[reef bronze]

Grain Trailers are just as bad as the Box Trailers

Flatbed and Container Seem to be the most stable for who knows why?? Noone

[tawny ledge]

@winter seal very interesting alushy

[winter seal]

Don't have any good shots of it but this is my biggest TMP combination and it hardly wobbles at all. Yes some ponies just want to watch the world burn.

[tawny ledge]

I run bab quad and a triple but i have flatbeds and goosenecks. Care if we meet maybe friday to check my settings @winter seal

I have ratios on them copied from similar trailers

[winter seal]

I'm on 1.38 sorry and I can't go back. It would break too many mods + I'm on metered internet. I don't have the capacity to downgrade and then upgrade.

[tawny ledge]

Ok but care to send me your trailer definition info so i can see how yours is set

Then i can try to meetup with a freind on ar ade to check

Arcade

@reef bronze and @winter seal what about having the type as refridgerater and runningfront 2 as reefer and rear 2 where it tilts as flatbeds?

Dolly in center

[reef bronze]

that might be more stable idk

never ran that

[tawny ledge]

Ok

[winter seal]

I ran a reefer + flatbed and for whatever reason the dolly lost all traction. Used to slide around. Ended up getting banned for it. At least they got a video of me: https://youtu.be/4HTXhIQju-4

Oh and the bug got fixed. Still don't know why it happened. Was fun though

The flatbed basically pushed the reefer like it was on ice. Could control it using trailer brake. I never ran into anyone with it, but mods watched on silently. The trailer combination had proper weighting. Ah those were the days of TMP.

[tawny ledge]

I used to have 1 axle dolly slide but only when on exit ramps going 10 mph over that was beforebi learned to make more mass ratios

[tawny ledge]

@winter seal i swapped rear 2 reefers for curtain flatbed and had someone screenshare to check it. Thanks for info.

[winter seal]

That's a nice looking combination! Keep it safe on the road. The more people who drive responsibly with long combinations like that the less likely they are to get banned again. Love the paint too.

[tawny ledge]

I know which is why im glad to see very little mods for the public. Mostly its. 3x45s

If I was wanting to change how much a fuel a truck could hold where would I find the file to edit for that

[stable yacht]

how do i install ats mods with pro mods?

please answer me

;-;

[sage pelican]

@stable yacht like trailers

[tawny ledge]

@reef bronze the fuel tank size is somewhere inside the def.scs but then you couldnt go onto MP so instead change the fuel_relative located in the game.sii which is where your game save is such as if it was a quicksave it would be in documents/american truck simulator/ profiles/2675gjgjg][/ save/ quicksave folder. and you will need sii_decrypt which can be found in the speditor application install folder.

i mainly do fuel_relative as 9000 which is enough for maybe 2 years of daily gameplay 4 hrs/day

[reef bronze]

I'm on modded sp but wanted more fuel

[winter seal]

So you can modify the fuel tank by editing the chassis def. For whatever reason all the trucks are separate DLC's for ATS. Just find the one you want and run it through the extractor. Then go def/vehicle/truck/truck model/chassis and select the chassis def you want to edit.
There you will find:
tank_size: 568
air_tank_pressure: 8.5
nominal_voltage: 12
Simply change the rank size to what you want.
Then package it up as a mod and you're good to go!

Almighty Nika, I summon thee, thy solver of problemos. This is the first time I've done a save edit, and I think what I did was correct, but obviously not seeing when I load the save, it's exactly the same, no change. I saved one game with owned b doubles, and the second with a "turnpike" double. I aimed to create what's referred to in Australia as an AB triple, which is a full length trailer, with a dolly, then a b double on that dolly. I made these changes to the second save, removing the second A trailer from the turnpike setup and instead putting the b double setup as slave to the dolly. I can leave my game.sii here if that'd help, but I'm just not too sure what I've missed here

you can always check console, it will say where is mistake on which line and what kind of mistake it is

keep in mind that is 5 trailer in total

[pearl yarrow]

Ahh, I didn't know about that

4

A, dolly, B, A

I'll have a peek at the console now, thanks

[chrome peak]

according to pic you should have trailer - dolly - trailer - dolly - trailer

[outer charm]

With the Triple Trailer does anyone have the code to make it a 4-5 trailer instead?

[pearl yarrow]

So the console did spit at me, it complained about my B trailer, saying something along the lines of my B trailer's nameless referenced in the slave trailer property of dolly's nameless is cactus

<ERROR> [unit] The unit '_nameless.1d3.4ecf.8ef0', referenced in the attribute 'slave_trailer' of unit '_nameless.1d3.be28.1850' (of type 'trailer') is already owned by something else.

Wish the console word wrapped so I didn't have to go to the log

I'll try offsetting the nameless name's by 1

Yep that did it

Ty for your input Nika

Oh yea my bad i thought that B was dolly xD

So the console did spit at me, it complained about my B trailer, saying something along the lines of my B trailer's nameless referenced in the slave trailer property of dolly's nameless is cactus
@pearl yarrow I had a friend with some issue with references (already owned) but it was with AI driver, so I got no clue... Anyways so for your issue, have you checked if the slave trailer isn't already owned by another trailer?

[pearl yarrow]

So I fixed this by changing _nameless_x0x0_x0x0 to _nameless_x0x0_x0x1 where x0 represents an actual name

[reef bronze]

Usually just changing the last digit works also @pearl yarrow

[pearl yarrow]

[visual blaze]

any1 have to code for the triple transformers?

[reef bronze]

just grab a transformer load and if you have watched videos on how to make custom double or triple trailer then just follow the video but using the trailer you want

[outer charm]

@reef bronze It's usually harder with the Heavy Haul Loads because of the way it is

[low garnet]

no it isnt

[reef bronze]

not really you just puck up the job and copy & paste the front two trailers to themselves twice then delete the jeep off the very front

It helps if you use quicksaving to quickly change the namelesses so you don't have to manually do it yourself

I could make a Triple Transformer rather fast

Although I do think the transformer has the stigger at the end so you would need to remove that from the setup before copying and pasting

Which again is explained in most videos on how to make custom trailer setups

[outer charm]

easy for you guys to say

Not everyone save edits a lot

[glossy remnant]

Lol it sounds easy dude

[reef bronze]

We make it sound easy due to the experience but its not a hard thing to learn

[visual blaze]

it wud be nice to have it explained for those trailers cuz there is so many lines to it and i kinda get lost watching that vid since he dont explain

[winter seal]

Start simple and work your way into more complex things. Turning a STAA Double (28ft) into a Turnpike Double is an easy task that can teach you most of the work required and short cuts. It's doable by editing 6 lines. 2 body codes, 3 chassis code and a def name.

[visual blaze]

i got those already but i tired 2 do the double trans and i was able 2 get the trans on my double flatbed trailers but i cant get the lowboy to change over

[pearl yarrow]

By custom trucks and trailers, do you mean 3rd party mods, caus I don't think that'd be supported

It'd try to point to a def that doesn't exist and idk if you can just throw in .mp files into the tmp mod folder and just work

On top of that, even if it did, nobody would see those models

[outer charm]

@pearl yarrow The only custom trucks that would work are truck models already in the game such as this one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662560603&searchtext=TruckersMP (I've used it before)

[pearl yarrow]

@pearl yarrow damn, cause I know a couple poeple who have gotten custom trucks and trailers like tiagos great Dane and the Rollin 389 in but none will go into proper detail about how to do it

[pearl yarrow]

I mean, you can put it in, it's very possible, but nobody else will see it, and it could result in an autokick on join, or even a ban

Caus it'd refence an scs on your local drive that nobody else has

Which is why the launcher downloads things like the scout car to your drive, so that everyone has it

But until x y z vehicle is an official mp mod, nobody else is going to see it

Basically you change the trailers def to be a single trailer so the game allows it anywhere. But note if you change the deff of the trailer to be a single the game will see it as a single at may require you back in to a drop off since it thinks you have a single trailer.

One guy I know has 5 trailers using save edit. They also work in all states. I'd love to learn how to use my triples in all states.
i might know a few guys like that 😉 😉 😂

also does anyone here know how to take a modded truck and either stretch the frame to give me a long frame or take a truck with an existing long frame, but has one of them legacy sleepers on it and rip that sleeper off, leave me the cab and the long frame??

[winter seal]

Blender, that's model editing you want.

Speaking of, I just finished my latest tinker. It's not much, but I'm happy with how it looks.

[upbeat loom]

@winter seal any way you can help me get that? available for MP?

[winter seal]

No that wont work in MP. Both the trailer and dolly are custom models I modified using Blender. It's almost ready to be uploaded to the steam workshop.

[dreamy nacelle]

@winter seal do u mind helping me out with the long frame?? if u have the time of course, ive never used blender, know what it is but dont have a clue how it works lol

[reef bronze]

You know gdog you should add in road train options to your mod

Not just tp doubles

I just thought of that

[winter seal]

Like these? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343406742941597717/752332335097184366/20200906205958_1.jpg

[reef bronze]

Yeah

[winter seal]

I made that for Forvet. 99ton of logs.

[reef bronze]

I know zach would love it

[dreamy nacelle]

OMG i want lmao , i thought u couldnt do that cuz theres no hookup on the log trailer at the back

[winter seal]

I modified the trailer in Blender to have a hook. Currently the rear end of that trailer is my best work. Which is to say it's not much.

[reef bronze]

For being a semi new modder tho its great

[dreamy nacelle]

dude thats awesome, ill literally paypal u some $ if u have the time to help me out 😄 think of it like a paid mod, the long frame and if u throw in the log setup lmao

[reef bronze]

Dang Gdog gonna have to start up a service people already ready to drop money

[dreamy nacelle]

well i mean it takes time to make quality stuff

[reef bronze]

True

[winter seal]

Ai't I'll self advertise my work for the moment. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2008455041
That's my flagship mod that I do still work on (next update will be 3 axle dolly combinations). There's alot of UI bugs but no in game bugs and still missing container, bulkfeed and foodtank trailers (Oh god the purple bug).

[dreamy nacelle]

thats why i dont mind paying ppl like B4RT for his work cuz its amazing quality and i know if i ever need help or got questions etc etc i can just hit him up and hes always there

[reef bronze]

Yeah B4rt is great. Also highly recommend that mod above

Also download no restrictions while you're at it

[winter seal]

Ahaha and that's why I'll never get paid. Amazing Quality isn't my department. Good enough to work is me. Take that chem turnpike for example. I don't have the skills yet to make a half decent hook for the dolly, so I've left left it off for the moment.

[reef bronze]

Everyone has to start somewhere

[dreamy nacelle]

just incase anyone is wondering @winter seal is a GD legend !!!! 😄

[reef bronze]

He a real OG

[winter seal]

I just help when I can. Gives me something to do!

[low garnet]

@winter seal edit the dolly to be a low shank by angling down the tow bar. that way you can just have the pintle hook on the bumper. modern UPS dollies have angled down tow bars.

[reef bronze]

[winter seal]

That works okish for single axle dollies but I've not had any luck with 2+ axles. I'd have to angle down the drawbar and my Blender skills aren't good enough to do that without screwing something up.

[knotty leaf]

dollys in australia have an angle pin that lets it swing up or down, to fold away in the case of tight loading docks. how they manage to park is the next question

[winter seal]

The ATS dollies do have that pin on the 2 axle however the game treats it as a rigid object. Trucks/trailers can't bend or flex only move around each other at the hookup points (5th wheel, hitch etc).

[tender locust]

[glossy remnant]

lol no

[outer charm]

.

[winter seal]

So someone asked me to a do a '53ft B Double'. Turns out this was alot easier than I thought. Except the shadow. Still don't know how to make shadows properly.

[low garnet]

the ui shadow is different from the traditional shadow. the ui shadow is just the bottom shadow. it never changes orientation regardless of where the light source is. a ui shadow is not required but if youre gonna use it all you have to do is stretch the middle.

[winter seal]

It's easy if you know how to do it. I don't know how.

[dire warren]

That's a long boi

[charred parrot]

And so it begins

[reef bronze]

haha yep

The season of broken western stars in near

[wet beacon]

My first Western Star save edit is completed

[charred parrot]

Anyone successfully use a WS Tow package?

My trailers keep going through...not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or not

[winter seal]

Add a little weight to the trailer. The towed truck seems to bug out if it has a cargo mass of 0. Just put 1000 on it and it should be ok.

Note I said cargo mass, not chassis mass.

[charred parrot]

It is 1000 =/

the exact same code works for t680s

but when swapping it over to the WS, it does this

[winter seal]

Hmm, maybe try 0 then?

[charred parrot]

Thats why I was wondering if someone has successfully done it so i could cross reference

think i should only make the jeep 0 or all of it?

[winter seal]

0 on the jeep. That will help stop it pushing down on the towed truck.

[charred parrot]

No such luck

the WS truck at the front is shivering and the jeep is pushed through

so.....0 is still NOT, I repeat... NOT acceptable across the entire load LOL

[winter seal]

Best to start back at the start I suppose.

Maybe try a standard box trailer and move up from there.

[charred parrot]

Doubt it, but think it's possible to change the tires on the towed truck? LOL

well ive got this far and no issues....strange

[solemn hearth]

What about that?

[charred parrot]

idk it was better than this and the truck was shivering

is it still low?

cause it's now sitting higher and truck isnt freaking out

if the first one is still wrong then it's gotta be an issue with how the truck renders it or something?

[winter seal]

Weight from the lowboy pushes down on the jeep due to the 5th wheel being in the middle.

So maybe if you also made the lowboy cargo mass 0 it would still work. To get correct weight for the load I suppose you could split the weight between the towed truck and the stinger. Assuming it doesn't go nuts with a trailer attached to the jeep.

[charred parrot]

Yeah no clue. Doesnt seem to be working for me =/

[charred parrot]

im an idiot

lol i had 49 trailer def at the very top

when i had truck and truck + jeep it was KW trailer def. worked just fine

but once I pulled the code from the full file thats why i kept going wrong

Thanks for the feedback!

[glossy remnant]

look what i found

this is insanely nice

also says its made for TMP

[outer charm]

any ATS trailer mods that work for TMP! please send.

[glossy remnant]

no

[bleak hinge]

just get any moneymod on the Steam worksop

Most of them will work

[fast oriole]

anyone know how I would get a lowboy in TMP?

[dreamy nacelle]

U mean like the heavy haul ones ??

@fast oriole

[fast oriole]

Yes.

[dreamy nacelle]

If thats what u mean then there's a DLC u can buy for it and that works in mp ... also if u have the DLC theres a mod in the workshop for it so u can buy it in single player and it can be an ownable trailer aswell which also works on mp

[fast oriole]

What mod on the workshop?

the mod + dlc?

[dreamy nacelle]

The only big trailer one like that that doesn't work on mp is special cargo (aka the one with the pilot cars and stuff) but the other heavy cargo one works .. give me a min to go to my pc and ill find u the links :)

But yes they also work on MP

[fast oriole]

Okay

[dreamy nacelle]

Own able low boys are coming to base game next update

The workshop mod I used unfortunately looks like the author changed it and now I dont think it will work in MP so I can't send u the link for that sorry but those DLCs should work for now and then you'll be able to buy a set to own in the next update ( 1.39 )

@charred parrot not that many are there

Make your own is better

[low garnet]

the process between ets2 and ats are the same. everything is set up the same way. the only thing thats gonna be different are root directories depending on if youre using game-specific automats or custom mat files.

the problem with local modding is it requires you to semi-permanently modify your game save. and thats the real kick to the can. because if you mess up or dont know what youre doing, you can render your entire save file unusable.

thats also why most local modders dont help unless you are already proficient in either blender or zmod.

[charred parrot]

@low garnet !

Thanks for replying. I understand the risk. Im pretty knowledgeable when it comes to technology and programing etc. Im just new to this category. Just breaking into the scene and wanting guidance on the subject.

[chrome peak]

It will be best if you will learn save edit first

[dreamy fable]

my save edited Western Star with a PeterBilt Engine and Gearbox with retarder and PeterBilt exhaust

[low garnet]

i just wish scs made all the node placements consistent between trucks so swapping parts are more practical. due to a more consistent shape, almost all parts/chassis in ets2 are universal and you can practically put any part on any truck. i wanted to put the WS bumper on the 389 but the fitment node is lower so it isnt possible without using a double bumper but i dont like doing that with parts because it doesnt look clean.

[dreamy fable]

absolutely would make life easier lol

[charred parrot]

It will be best if you will learn save edit first
@chrome peak

if this was in response to me, I've come pretty efficient at save editing. I drive/haul save edited trucks/trailers 6 nights a week on stream for last few months. If you'd like to know the real motivation to the local modding you can DM me if you wish.

[charred parrot]

On the subject of local modding. Is sound integration possible with the new f mod engine?

Like I want a better sounding engine for example.

[low garnet]

nope

[charred parrot]

Darn! Lol

But trucks/trailers is the ideal goal

[chrome peak]

I said save edit because you mentioned you are new in this kind of stuff so, lots of people are like Oh so I can get custom accessories, interiors, etc. in game? cool and when you are telling them that you need save edit for that they are just leaving

With new way of local modding you are limited, for example you can't replace actual thing, you can only add new and wrap on original.

[charred parrot]

Yeah I was hoping you could edit engine noise lol

I'm highly interested in wrapped trucks/trailers for TMP to stream. Potentially willing to pay for private mods as well if they're available.

[fossil sapphire]

Hey, how do I change my experience when editing a save

I've found out how to edit the money

But the only reference I can find to experience in the game.sii file is ai driver experience

Found it

Do I just drag the file back?

[glossy remnant]

if i remember correctly

if you've edited it you just throw it back where you got it

[fossil sapphire]

Okay

Any mods you know of that cause the last page of base game ownable trailers in the trailer purchaser to crash

I found the two that was causing the game to crash as soon as I opened the trailer dealer (A real trailer brand paintjobs mod and unlock everything)

Anyone good at reading ATS logs?

[sage pelican]

it work in 1.38

[keen halo]

Anybody know if there's a version of sweetfx that works for TMP? It's only a graphics mod that makes the game a little colorful/cartoony so I don't see why it wouldn't work

[indigo magnet]

Reshade works too and have more presets and customization options, so you may wanna look into that

[outer charm]

any updated engine sound mods for the beta floating around yet?

where do i find the peterbilt 350?
@glacial wolf Hey, if you're talking the Peterbilt 350 Mod you can find it by going the the pause menu in Single-player then goto 'Truck Dealers' and click 'Access Mod Dealer' then select the Peterbilt Logo on the left side and then click on the Peterbilt Logo 🙂

[glacial wolf]

Ok

[brisk shell]

Does anyone know if their are mods supported for truckers mp?

[median jetty]

Only local mods

[brisk shell]

What you mean only local mods? From steam?

[low garnet]

the only "mods" that are supported by TMP are promods (not for ATS yet), seasonal weather mods (on forums), or game base mods. game base mods arent actually mods. they just remove restrictions on SCS assets that allows you to swap parts between trucks or trailers that the game normally wouldnt allow. it has the same exact effect as save editing, just for the more simple people who dont actually know how to save edit. local mods are real mods that are reconfigured to load through a different file directorate but only you can see them.

[median jetty]

Someone should make a double pulp wood log trailer for ats

by that I mean like these guys trailers

Hard to see

Believe it or not this is the best photo I could find of those

@median jetty heres a better image

Anyone know of some Engines mods that have been updated for public beta 1.39??

[median jetty]

I know Kriechbaum has one for 1.38, that usa usually work on the next version

[fringe kiln]

Normally, sound mods can work with the versions that has Fmod (e.g 1.37 to now) but if it doesn't, you just gotta wait untill the sound modders update their sound mods to work with the version.

What would be the logistics behind adding custome employees to hiring agencies? Does anyone know where in the game data that information might be stored, if it would take a hex editor, etc.? Thanks in advance.

[timid heath]

I'm pretty sure it would just be a lot of definition files

and some /material/ stuff for the UI pictures

no hex editor would be required

[zenith sentinel]

Lets not forget local modding there is maybe 0 mods for ats but for ets there is more then 400 single player mods on MP

[low garnet]

local modding isnt as simple as just downloading an scs file and plugging it into the game though.

[subtle plank]

there isn't a lot of local modding for ats because there's literally no tuning ability

there's literally nothing compared to what ets2 has

the only "tuning" dlc ats has is tyres/rims

[low garnet]

local modding has nothing to do with what tuning dlc's are available. local modding is literally using your own parts. if you know how to create parts, you can create just about anything for a local mod.
