White barriers

This is not a bug, this is me!

I was testing out a new Renault mod (Renault Premium v2.2 by Haxwell), which worked perfectly fine, apart from making the Renault Premium traffic trucks the infamous red texture. To try and solve this, I thought I was being quite clever by removing the Renault Premium traffic .sii file. However, ever since, I have experienced some of the motorway barriers (whose name escapes me...) turning white:

Any idea why this has been caused? I can provide additional information if needed.

Could be that the material file is replaced in the mod with a material file that lights these up...

Are there any automat folders in the .scs ?

I think this is pure coincidence :D . I've seen quite a lot of those glowing barriers on ETS2 (mainly in Germany, IIRC). I assume they exist IRL, and are probably experimental LED strip-lights or similar. I would suggest asking on the SCS forum ;) . And if you're looking for a name - Armco is about the commonest name in crash barriers :D

Hmm this shouldn't be normal behaviour. As far as I know Germany should just have basic metal barriers.

Interesting......... I always thought they were part of the SCS map :lol: . Perhaps another mod conflict after all ;) . I've seen them on odd occasions for several months, but they do (or at least they did) occur just in a few places. Something else for me to investigate :lol: .

Nope mate, this has just happened after removing the .sii file! I literally went back to the game and saw these where I was in Denmark. As you say, they're not everywhere, but just some spots in Germany and Denmark is all I've noticed so far. The name I was looking for, btw, is "Central Reservation" ;)

Nico, sorry, forgot to say that just before starting current job, I removed the mod. Can't open the .scs file anyway, but it's obviously not the mod.

In short, I still have no idea! If you know how I can fix this, please help!

Ah, the barrier filename.....gotcha!! Won't the .scs file open even if you change the extension to .zip?

Sorry about the confusion :oops: :lol: . So if I've got it right, you've installed another copy of the Renault mod, but the game is still has that barrier bug?

Sorry to double post, but this is actually beginning to annoy me; now I can see the barriers in the reflection of trucks I pass at night too!

No lol, I removed the mod completely, and there's a Renault Premium Traffic.sii file in the def, but still the problem occurs. How about you?
