Development on version 2.x (Black Sea Merge)

[dclark12553]

Why is the Black Sea named the Balkan DLC in Compatibility Menu for 2.45 as Only Bulgaria and Turkey are the only Black Sea DLC countries that are Balkan countries.
I know that ProMods added Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, North Macedonia, and Serbia are Balkan countries but are not part of the DLC and what if SCS decides after Iberia is done they call their next map DLC the Balkan DLC. Won't that confuse you guys when you make it compatible for that Balkan DLC?

The DLC is named balkan_2.scs by SCS inside game's folder. Perhaps assuming that there will be someday a balkan_1.scs

Oh ok

We have had internal debate about how to name the abbreviated version. The name must be sub 6 characters and cannot contain spaces.
For the "Beyond the Baltic Sea DLC" we decided to call it "BALTIC". There is no need to mention "SEA".
I initially named the "Road to the Black Sea DLC" simply "BLACK", however a lot of people though that was strange and confusing.
Other options we could use are "BLKE" (Balkan East) or "BL_SEA" ... not sure what the best way is.

I think RTTBS would be a good option.

Hi,

"RTTBS" is not a good idea, RTTBS can also be "Road to the Baltic Sea".

Best regards,

Not when the DLC itself is called "Road to the Black Sea", whereas the Baltic DLC is called "Beyond the Baltic Sea". BTBS and RTTBS are quite standard in ETS2 circles

How about BSM_1.

[krong2013]

I suggest - BL_SEA , this is a better name

[FunTrucker_18]

BLKSEA? Or is it too long?

Just out of interest: Did anybody noticed that this DLC is named "dlc_balkan_e" internally? "E" standing for... East, maybe? I hope yes - that would mean that some day we could get "balkan_w". What the Devs think about it. Would be great to know.
