Setting spawn probability of truck+trailer traffic [SOLVED]

[Boeing73FLY]

So here is my modding situation:

I have made additional .SII files of truck traffic. I made them so that they will drive at maximum 70 km/h with overweight trailers. They DO NOT replace existing truck traffic definitions in the def folder so that way those trucks can still spawn regular trailers normally. At the moment, I am experimenting with only excavator loads connected to 23 vanilla trucks.

Now here's my issue: I see more truck traffic pulling excavators than any other trailer; I mean, the regular trailers still spawn normally, but the excavator-loaded low bed trailers appear more frequently.

So my question is: How can I balance the spawning probability between regular cargo and excavator cargo in traffic?

To show you guys what I have done, here are my files:

I would appreciate any help from those smarter than me ... please

Here's what will fix that issue, you have to make an additional file for traffic frequency in the /def/country/[country]/ folder for your trucks, else they will have a spawn frequency of "1" (100%).

As a small example if you were to create a new file in those directories (ie. /def/country/netherlands/traffic.70kph.sii) you would set it up with. . .

Code: Select all

country_traffic_info : .country.info.70kph.dafxf_c6x4 {
	object: traffic.70kph.dafxf_c6x4
	spawn_frequency: 0.15
}

. . . and that will give it a 15% spawn chance. Then, all you would have to do is repeat for the other 21 trucks, and copy the files for the other 15 countries.

Ah, okay! I completely forgot about that file. Thanks RiXeN!
