Future of Promods ETS2???
Posted: 04 Aug 2022 09:15
i have big concerns about the future of Promods.
Let me explain why:
a lot of intended playgrounds are on hold due to the situation east of us (fair point and completely accepted)
Promods was for a quite long time the major expansion for ets2, and was used to behave like a leader, TIMES CHANGED!
In the meantime there are a lot of other expansions, giving the full picture TOGETHER, in that times there is asked a collaboration and not confrontation. If you have agreements you have to stick to them OR to change them multilaterally, BUT FOR SURE not to change them one-sided.
PACTA SUNT SERVANDA
If some other important maps refuse to collaborate with you in the future its off course their decision, but off course NOT CAUSED by THEIR behaviour, but probably by Promods behaviour.
I'm a big Bigmap Combo fan, mostly based on Promods as i like your style, but if i have to choose between Promods only or rest of the world without Promods, for sure i would choose world without promods.
Even if you loose playground to to concurring expansion ot SCS in ETS2, there are a lot fields to do what SCS not did, and you allready did a lot, secondary country roads and minor cities.
If Promods continues to prohibit the work of the other mappers due to one-sided decisions, IMHO Promods makes itself OBSOLETE.
I think you have to take into account the big other Partners (NOT COMPETITORS) like Roex, Rusmap, Southern Region, Terramaps (RtA, RtRS,...).
Its always like in every Teamsport, the one not willing to act as a Teamplayer has to go, NOT THE TEAM.
There was a chance to to build a team around Promods for a long time, but you ditched it, now you have to fight to stay in the team as peer to peer, but you are at the moment trying to ditch this also.
Already in the past if there were problems between the mods IT WAS ALWAYS THE OTHERS FAULT, grab your own nose.
Keep compatibel with the other mods, keep on track with the releases (it helps noone it the new version releases 2 day before SCS releases a new version, and it won't work again.)
Be a RELIABLE Partner to the other (map)modders, as above mentioned the OTHERS have the CRITICAL MASS, IMHO Promods does not have the critical mass anymore.
In the Past Promods was the last to go, now Promods is the first to go.
All the Map-Modders should find a common way of collaboration, and there it is completely irrelevant what role some had played in the past (thats adressed especially at Promods)
Someone who uses Promods is in general a friend of big maps, therefore if he can have bigger maps on cost of ditching promods he will do, as the quality (other as in the past) is really good (from the other maps)
Just my thoughts, but i would like to read your thoughts.
