EDIT (5/4/2017): Version 0.2.1 is now live! This hotfix was thrown together after I went through the map editor and saw a couple issues with the new signage in Arizona. I've fixed it for your convenience. Enjoy!
Hello, everyone!
SCS' lack of polish with Interstate and other signage in this game has always kinda bugged me, so I've taken it upon myself to correct/update it. The end result is... the ATS Signage Project!
So, you're probably wondering: what exactly does this mod do?
1. Redesigns Interstate and other highway signage on ATS roads to more closely match their IRL counterparts
2. Adds mileage signs on alongside Interstate highways in CA/NV, and above them in AZ
3. Adds guide signs on side roads that previously did not have them
4. Corrects directional errors by SCS (e.g. I-10 South, I-5 West, US-60 North - these are impossible!)
5. Removes "Freeway Entrance" signs on on-ramps outside of California and Nevada (as they are the only states that have them)
6. Adds "Freeway Entrance" signs on non-Interstate highways in California and Nevada
7. "Extends" I-10 to its real-life terminus at CA-1 in Santa Monica
8. Adds signs for various landmarks in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, and beyond
NEW! Version 0.2.* released, check out what changes I've made here:
I've based the placement of some of the signs, especially in southern California, around stoked_dude's fantastic Project West map mod. As such, it's required for ATS-SP to work.
What's planned for the next version, you might ask? Well, I'm leaving that up to you. Let me know in the comments what you'd want to see me tackle next. Out of deference to stoked_dude, the Las Vegas area and US-395 are out (since those roads are getting polished for PW).
COMPATIBILITY:
ATS-SP v0.2.1 works with ATS v1.6.* and Project West v1.3.*. I haven't tested this with any other map mods, such as C2C, Canadream, etc, and ATS-SP is not specifically designed to work with them. I've heard some people here and on Reddit say that the mod works fine with them, but again, I can't confirm that they will work 100%. Use at your own risk!
OFFICIAL DOWNLOAD LINKS:
The DEF file for the current version (0.2.1) can be downloaded here: http://promods.net/sm_forward.html?lnk=/urrb04gw9ihw/spdef_v0.2.1.scs.html
The MAP file for the current version (0.2.1) can be downloaded here: http://promods.net/sm_forward.html?lnk=/520nnwvycftq/spmap_v0.2.1.scs.html
LOAD ORDER: You'll want to load the DEF file first, then the MAP file, then Project West 1.3.*.
Thanks, and enjoy! If you spot any bugs or errors, let me know in the comments. If you notice some map errors up by Kayenta, I am aware of them. I think it might have something to do with PW; I've let stoked_dude know and it'll be fixed for the next version of Project West/ATS-SP v0.2.2.
