Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Big Stars - Actros/Arocs SLT [1.48.*|V1.7.3|07.08.2023]

Info: This will continue to be updated! But it will not be developed further!

Code: Select all

Over 4 years have past, since WrittenExample and I joined forces to create this project.

Two freaks tried to create a top of the line modification for the game.
One guy with impressive modeling skills in blender and the other one with extensive knowledge of the "game mechanics/mod creation".
At some point WrittenExample didn't have the time to further work on the mod and he arranged contact to D4LYNCHHD.
While I worked on many little things, this guy was another talented 3d modeler and focused specially on the equipment rack.

Slightly more than 1 year later, with ups and downs, breaks, several restarts, lots of solved problems, but also a lot of fun, we finally released Big Stars.
The development continued and i have added some of the most requested features to the modification.
And now, about 3 more years later, the mod is still updated and a favourite of many players.

Whether you have reported a bug or written a nice comment, I would like to thank everyone who contributed in some way!
Special thanks to WrittenExample, D4LYNCHHD, all involved skinners, and my patrons at patreon.

This sounds a lot like an end of the journey, but don't worry it is just the start of something new.
I will keep Big Stars updated and free of errors&warnings, but the further development will focus on EBS.
Feel free to follow me to Even Bigger Stars (so to say "Big Stars 2")!
