UK Road Prefab how to

[kjhedges]

Im new in this map editor on version 1.40

Got it all going and creating a 1:1 scale uk map. (personal fun)

But, I cannot find any tutorial to be able to make a prefab road. This is what I need to make.



Any help would be appreciated.


A little preview of some of what I have done

There is a selection of prefab items in the content browser. It is possible to create custom prefabs but they are a *LOT* of work and also require quite a bit of modelling skills. It's not advised to do this as a beginner and instead work with the prefabs that are already available in the game.

While I understand and appreciate what you say as good advice for a beginner. How can people, with the capability, become experienced mappers of ETS2/ATS if your only advice was to just use default prefabs.

I did however find this link from scs https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=52334 which although an old post, was very helpful.

Yes this is old way of making prefabs. Nowadays you can open/edit/export prefabs with SCS Blender Tools (you should be able to look this up).

I am just warning you that this is not an easy and likely frustrating task. There are not many modders in the community that have the skillset to comfortably model new prefabs but if you are up for the challenge then go for it by all means

Thank you for the update. I shall read up on SCS Blender Tools.

Always like a challenge, and have been in computers long enough to know frustration.
