Modding Q&A

Hey,

No, if you read above, or maybe I hadn't stated clearly enough, my game stops responding and closes when I attempt to add a city in.

[MandelSoft]

That why I suggested to try if you can copy and paste an existing city item. To see if making a brand new one is the trigger or something else.

Another thing you could try: could you change the assigned city to an existing city object? If it crashes, it might give us a clue in the game.log...

Making a new one appears to be it yes, I went into console to do edit usa, and was able to copy and paste one over... any idea on why?

Thanks

[Calhon]

I can also make my own in usa.mbd ..? so.. does that mean, in order for me to make one, I have to be editing an already existant map? or?

EDIT1: And, that didn't work either.. hmmmm

EDIT2: Ayyeeee,

Alright, problem solved! I worked it out. I copied one of the cities from usa.mbd, over to another map, then saved it and put it into the scs file. Then I put it into my mod folder, ran the editor again, and now I can put it in! Thanks.. can finally continue what I was working on

Thankss

I have created a test map so I can then add on to my own map. When I go into the the map folder, it has the USA map and my test map. The problem is, I don't want to archive the USA map because I want my test map to be standalone. I've seen a video tutorial that the guy deletes the in game map rather it would be deleting the Europe files for ETS2 or the USA files for ATS. Can someone help me?

[MandelSoft]

The game will not give a damn if the USA map is in your base folder or not. As long as you keep it out of your SCS-pack, your map is perfectly fine stand-alone.

I have another question with the map editor. When I save my map and load it back up again, it doesn't show the progress I've done to the map. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[Shiva]

It loads the game map and the maps you have in your mod folder. "if you use the 'edit usa' command on ATS, or 'edit europe' for ETS2"
It does not load the files from the base folder.
So you have to save the map you do, transfer/copy those to the mod folder in the right file structure.

As far as I know.

Good day!
1) Tell me whether it is possible to change the overall area of the card with respect to sea level? The fact that Kazakhstan is on the average height of ~ + 500 meters above sea level, and I have a lot less, and sometimes with a decrease in the height of textures, patterns are beginning to disappear, as I understand it is the boundary of the sea level?
2) Is there any way to fix the error navigator on a hidden road? (Navigator can not find the route)

In Blender I made a sign. Then I loaded up a sign from DLC Scandinavia to see what type of dummy node I had to add. It was something like "ML3[sign.246x88]" which I moved into my own sign model. I loaded up ETS2 and it worked fine EXCEPT the signs editable area was too small. So I tried renaming the dummy node to "ML3[sign.350x130]" (I assume the 2 numbers are the height and width of the editable areas, so I increased them) But now when I try to place this new model my game crashes.

This is the log. You can see it says "sign has no editable sign area" but it does have the dummy node (and when I set the dimensions of the name of the dummy to something very small this problem doesn't occur)

Code: Select all

00:00:47.639 : <ERROR> setup(): sign item has no editable sign areas!

And another question: Some signs have the dummy node named "ML1" while some have it named"ML3" what's the difference?
