Modding Q&A

[brainiac]

I want to add new ferry from Genova and Barcelona to one map which hasn't road connection with Europe. I added in ferry.Promods @ferry.genova (and barcelona), created file genova.sii in ferry folder and created connection in connecton folder in both direction. I can use new ferry with truck, but problem is, when I want to calculate route with GPS from other side of ferry to, e.g. Milano, GPS can't calculate. What is problem?
new files in ferry and connection folders are equal existing files.

You need to set "Ferry entrance" in map editor on prefab connected to ferry, save the map and create your map addon out of that sectors you modified. Maybe it's already done but check it.

Hello, I'm making my own little add-on for Promods and I would like to use the new France DLC models, can I just update the game and open the map editor with Promods and my add-on or do I have to wait untill Promods releases an update for 1.26?

[Vøytek]

I suggest to wait few days for DLC. You'll get much more new assets

Thank you. Now it is ok.

What would be the easiest way to add lot more traffic?

Hi there,

regarding higher traffic density mostly the pool of license plates is running out, so I would like to know how to expand it. Here an example of "stockholm.dlc_north.sii"

Code: Select all

        
        truck_lp_def0[]:"A"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"B"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"C"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"D"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"E"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"F"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"G"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"H"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"J"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"K"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"L"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"M"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"N"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"O"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"P"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"R"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"S"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"T"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"U"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"W"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"X"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"Y"
	truck_lp_def0[]:"Z"

	truck_lp_def1[]:"0"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"1"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"2"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"3"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"4"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"5"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"6"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"7"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"8"
	truck_lp_def1[]:"9"

	truck_lp_def2[]:"5"
	truck_lp_def2[]:"6"
	truck_lp_def2[]:"7"
	truck_lp_def2[]:"8"
	truck_lp_def2[]:"9"

Is it correct we have two places for a number and one for a letter? Can I expand the range of numbers with "10, 11,..." or with letters?

Best regards

That's won't help; You can make millions of combinations with these character sets, but the game only can assign a limited number of licence plates in total (I don't know the exact number, but I wouldn't be surprised it's a power of 2), no matter how many combinations you can make.

Thanks for reply, I just realized it as well by testing. So is it correct it´s a matter of the game engine with its limited capacity of license plate slots and not fixable by modding? Quite an issue since lot of people play with traffic mods and good rigs, also any spawning rule doesn´t seem to work after slots running out.

Best regards

Yes, the amount of license plate slots cannot be changed by modding sadly
