Since ETS 2 1.26.x has been released something is messed up with the traffic. Increased spawn rates in combination with additional traffic packs do not work properly anymore, produces annoying micro stuttering related to a lot of "<WARNING> License plate slots were depleted!" warnings written in the gamelog and engine starts spawning vehicles without license plates, even though SCS added more than 800 slots for license plates. If you are using this traffic mods and all traffic packs by Jazzycat, be aware spawning trucks including trailer causes stuttering, the game engine doesn´t bear it well. So you got to decite: a nice traffic experience or good performance. Until the game engine doesn´t use DX11 we have to cope with it.

I also put another bonus addon for Jazzycat´s Russian Traffic Pack into the package: engine sounds for all Kamaz trucks (see my avatar) in traffic. Enjoy

Features:

• day time related spawning: barely traffic in the night, more traffic at rush hour time
• adjusted spawn factors on road lane types
• supports Drive Safely´s Sound Fixes Pack
• intented to work with all traffic packs by Jazzycat including TDU2 traffic pack enabled
• better chances to see trains and trams in France

Changelog 1.2:

• bonus file added for all appreciators of Jazzycat´s Brazilian Traffic pack: it fixes spawning behaviour on all maps / load it after Jazzycat´s base file
• bonus addon Kamaz engine sounds for all russian ai Kamaz trucks
• improved adjustment of spawning behaviour
• more daytimes with differing values defined
• adjusted density on all road types, (huge) cities and towns
• bonus: ai and traffic related mod suggestions + load order added[/color]

Setup:

• copy the mod into your modfolder
• open config.cfg in C:\Users\...\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\ with a text editor and search for

  Code: Select all

  uset g_traffic "1"

• edit "1" into "3" since spawning and density adjustments in 1.2:

  Code: Select all

  uset g_traffic "3"

• save the file
• enable this mod in your mod manager and follow the load order below; ignore all the mods you don´t use

Bottom (after / above all map mods !!!)

Important: be aware there are a lot of these license plate warnings on vanilla map, Promods and TSM. If you need a complete gamelog, you can use this command line parameter below in the code window since the game cuts the log after it reached 1MB size. Enjoy the game and the traffic, maybe also the traffic and sound related mods I highly recommend:

• Drive Safely´s Sound Fixes Pack
• all traffic packs by Jazzycat
• Trailer & Cargo Pack by Jazzycat
• TDU2 traffic pack
• Improved Environment Sound by AlexeyP
• Euro Police v.5.0
• TRUE Lights AI vers 6.5 10/12/16
• abasstreppas flare pack 1.0

Special thanks to Piva for allowing me to edit some of his "traffic density" files to have a working basis.

Are you the author of this mod?

Doesn't it say so in the title already?

(Edit: oh wait for non german speakers: 8=acht)

Sorry, I´ve forgotten to mention: I changed my user name since the pun works in english and german.

Best regards

Dear Fr8ti,

I have seen this mod today, but I can't translate in the right German word. Can you translate your description in German in German-forum? If I use the translator, it is unfortunately still not understandable for me. (I used the translator for my words. I hope you know what I mean.)

Best regards

I have a question : could traffic density be defined differently for some areas ? I mean, after I added this mod, I went to Iceland, and it was full as hell. (It goes worse when I also have these things blocking the road ! I used it because it looks different, but going around ringvegur with them ? Aw sucks )

Just a question, really. I like that it becomes denser in the day and there's less of the depleted license plates, but if traffic density can be kept lower for some countries it'd be a great thing. Also if you could make this mod handle those tractors and truck spawn rates, perhaps only to a very small number or limited to a few countries.

Hi,

thank you Frachti for this mod - I like it really.

I have just one question:
I'm using the ProMods Edition (because I use ProMods Map), but still have many warnings in game.log with "License plate slots were depleted!"

In the first post there are two files - have I use both of them?

In the evening I will attach a game.log (Currently I'm not at home).

Thanks for help
Best regards,

Hi,

I skipped my intention to get rid of these warnings because it´s not completely fixable by modding. By the way there´s another traffic mod I use now (I don´t have time to learn all the stuff about these values)
