[TUTORIAL] A tutorial creating map (1.8.2)

[marknemensis]

I think the problem may be caused by "...\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\editor" location. It should also be a file called "test.mbd" there. This file is needed to open up Your map in editor. If You rename Your map files in Your base\map location, there's no reference for the editor to open up map files. I don't exacly know what's inside this file, but look inside that folder, and see if there is a file called like your map file. Than try following:

1. Make a backup of Your map files and .scs file too.

2. Remove your old "europe"-called files from "\base\map\".

3. Rename your map file names to "europe". In the resault You should have in Your "\base\map\" file called "europe.mbd" (instead of test.mbd) and a folder with map sectores called "europe" (instead of "test").

4. Repack .scs with new map files.

5. Open Ets, type in console "edit europe"

6. If map loads properly click on "SAVE MAP" button and then save with your custom map name (for exapmle "test")

Let me know if it helped.

i indeed have mdb. file inside editor folder and i tried your method and result was that it opened the original map

I have tried with several names and several ways, but still i can't get it work. If someone still have ideas, i can try 'em.

Also, it looks like you run a pirated version of ETS2.

Be aware that pirated versions are frowned upon here and that we don't support pirated versions of ProMods or Euro Truck Simulator 2. Not only is it not decent, but pirated versions can also can show unpredictable behaviour. Please buy the game, like the rest of us does (every now and then you can get the game quite cheap in Steam sales).

This is a warning. We could've banned you for this, but I'll leave it to a warning today...

Whether one pirates a game or buys it should stay his own opinion.
Banning one over an issue like that is quite indecent in my opinion.

Check Your archive than, be sure You are packing as a zip with no compression

On Steam it would give you an immediate and permanent ban from forums as well as games you might have bought through the platform, no excuses

And if you cheat in VAC protected games you get VAC banned in all games as well

Does anybody know where are the country flag materials & models located?

Bump. Anyone? Also, what about the vehicle registration numbers? How do I customize them?

[plykkegaard]

Extract game files and Install Freecommander EX (freeware)
A search through the def folder for sii file content will reveal what you need (both questions)

That must be helpful, thanks!

Well i bought legal copy of the game at last. So if the problem solves with that, i'm glad.
And thanks for all the tips along the way.. And for not banning me.
