Mod Order 1.36

[saaeel]

Good morning!

I noticed that there is a big problem and many questions about mods order.
I focused on graphics, maps and the total minimum amount of add-ons.
I developed the order based on a huge number of attempts during a sleepless week and the desire to eliminate the problems that I encountered...

I got rid of insufficient memory problem, DX11 crash and mods incompatibility problem such as map offset...

Note that the modifications work for me without complaint, but I do not guarantee that it will be the same for you (but as far as I know it should )

I will add that this applies to the version 1.36.2.26s (64-bit) running on DX11!

I'll start with the startup parameters, which quite significantly improved the speed of loading the game with this amount of modifications:
In the case of STEAM, it is simple - just enter the properties in the Euro Truck Simulator 2 item and paste in "SET THE STARTUP OPTIONS ..." and paste the following data.
This is fed by a fairly extensive topic initiated by room217au https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php ... 6e7a5c79d
and a huge amount of work done by MrTwisted https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php ... 0#p1010284

-nointro -unlimitedlog -mm_pool_size 4000 -mm_max_resource_size 32 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000

Also in the config.cfg (open with notepad) in [...]Dokumenty\Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder I have changed default value from '10' to uset r_buffer_page_size "20"

The setting can be individual for everyone (link), but this one above turned out to be the best and most efficient for me


I must begin with the fact that I benefited from the brilliant work done by Davyddin viewtopic.php?t=29618
All modifications I have included are compatible with each other and show no signs of conflict.
I marked the modifications from the STEAM workshop with the STEAM logo - for clarity.
And the most important: REMEMBER! ALWAYS CHECK IF YOUR MODIFICATIONS ARE UPDATED!

Order:


NOTE!
Crash caused by zoom during map browsing eliminates Arayas SuperZoom.
You have to remember to place it right above the maps as the first one - otherwise your map will be offset.

NaturaLux must be at the top, excluding the sounds modifications with which it works (as on the screen). NaturaLux must always be running on DX11.

AI Traffic should be placed under NaturaLux - it works properly (they recommend it above, but then NaturaLux has problems)

SOUTHERN REGION - there are problems that developers are already familiar with and promise improvement - in some places there is a crash.

I put all other modifications between NaturaLux and Araysa Super Zoom.

P.S.
I'm posting direct links to mods (non-steam). I want to thank the creators and I hope you'll do the same - a great job!

p.p.s.
In the case of any mod-related crash, check game.log [...] Documents \ Euro Truck Simulator 2 and right after the crash - the best is to do copy of game.log - and post your problem on the forum - you will always find help and answers!
If you are sure that crash applies to a particular modification - SEND INFO TO THE CREATORS!

p.p.p.s.
When it comes to mods, always consider whether you really need 20 new trucks and 40 trailers.
Any additional modification will burden the game, may cause it crash and be incompatible with others!

Thank you! This is very useful

[Rolf Schreiter]

Thank You. But you have "SR Map (Def and Map)" 2x, i think this is not needed.

Hi,

the second "SR Def and Map" has DLC in his name. I think this is a modified version for Road to Black Sea DLC.
Currently not needed, since the DLC areas are overwritten by ProMods.

Best regards,
bmwGTR

This with DLC in the name is for "Road to Aral" (not Black Sea).
I mean you need only one version of it, and not both to the same time.
I use only the DLC version in this time on my system (its why i have "Aral" installed), and it works good for me.

Yup. It's not necessary, but I wanted to make it like a full list. In case it would be needed

The DefMap DLC was adapted by me and is for the use of Southern Region with the new Black Sea DLC, obviously for people who are NOT using Promods (for now, not adapted to the new DLC).
This is useful if you want to enjoy the full DLC and add SR on top of it (other maps also).
For some reason, Southern Region has a few blank sectors in it, covering some parts of Romania. Dont ask why, IDK, i just offered a solution.
