Ferry connections for Promods!!

[SETrucker]

imho.. ferries should be even less than now.

It does not matter if you drive on the roads anyway but sometimes it may be good to have the ferries and your judgment really trafficking ..

I'm wondering, I can not program or anything like that one had to be able to do that? ...

Adding ferries? to current portals can be done.
Adding ferry portals? that would need map editing.

my_ferry_mod.scs

map structure:
def\ferry\connection\

Each connection needs 2 files, 1 for each direction.
filename:
name1_name2.sii

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
ferry_connection : conn.name1.name2 {
	price: 500
	time: 120
	distance: 65
}
}

filename:
name2_name1.sii

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
ferry_connection : conn.name2.name1 {
	price: 500
	time: 120
	distance: 65
}
}

price in euros.
time in minutes
distance in kilometres.

ferry port names can be found in def\ferry\ in promods def, rusmap def etc.

Sounds very complicated to someone who has never done these things before, at all, you would not be able to do a program that works with the ferry lines that I wrote except that the expressway can not be done for every city is not currently available in promod's take those who are there?

Some of those ferries are already in other mods.
1. Stockholm-Tallinn ferry. viewtopic.php?t=18643 But you need to edit the manifest.sii file by opening the scs mod file with any archivator supporting .zip format. The you need to change the game version to 1.31 (of course, if you play with the latest version).
compatible_versions[]: "1.31.*" # Mod is compatible with 1.31.X..

2. Scandinavian ferries.
There is "Scandinavian Ferry Lines" mod on Steam workshop compatible with 1.31 as well.
P.S. To make multiple real ferry operators into the game (Stena line, Colour line, DFDS, Tallink etc.) you have to make a custom company, since many ferries in the game are actuall companies. But it's not so easy to do.

Just thought if you put in new ferry lines but keep the name in the game get the shipping company, it must be done then but I'm not so special shark doing a program that works with 1.31.x thought if somebody would like to do that I'm sure to others who want to use this .. Hurtigruten does not make any cities yet.

Also, making realistic ferries can make another very unrealistic thing.. Let's imagine that you would take a ferry from Kristiansand (Color line)... and then driving out of a ferry from completelly difirent company f.ex. Stena line. The only one solution to fix it would be making ferry connections ONLY between harbours operated by the same ferry line or making multiple ferries for one city, which would too space consuming, and again.. I doubt it will look even more realistic.

Now I mean that you keep promod's ferry names throughout the game and just add new different color lines to your real ferries and then do not care to add new ferry routes.

I can not program do not know which programs are needed or how to go for making a program myself, so I wonder if there was someone who could do one for me and surely to others too? ..
