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

[DerTrucker98]

As I saw in the non-steam you forgot to include the DLC-Compatibility Files in the download.

Its only a hint, so you need both, steam and non steam files ^^

[thunderhawk]

I don't forgot them. If people don't use steam, they can't have the dlcs. So, no compatibilty is needed.

If people use steam and the dlcs, they can also use the steam version of the mod and the compatibilty packs.

Or do i miss something?^^

Edit: @Harald-RS: Sorry, i can't add support for paintjob-dlcs, cause of the different uv-mapping.
Perhaps the illuminated star will be done.

Best regards,
Stefan

@thunderhawk when will you realese low poly variants??

@thunderhawk:

I personaly would like it to have the dlc things in the non-steam version.

I use Steam and own the DLCs, but I don´t like the workshop itself. So I don´t want to use mods out of it. (MOd-Updates are a word in this case ^^)

I hope you can understand my reasons ^^

Clearly, I could extract the compatibility-mods from the steam-download and put them into my "offline" modfolder, but it would be much easier if you could include them in the non-workshop download.

@thunderhawk Worth the wait, thank you! (Sorry for the late reply, I already downloaded the mod via Steam Workshop) So far I didn't experience any bugs/errors/glitches. I already deliver cargoes (the normal ones though, I'm about to download heavy trailer but my internet connection is currently unwilling to cooperate) and I must say I'm very happy with the performance! Credits also go to WrittenExample and D4LYNCHHD as well (the model and the tower, oh man the tower is amazing).

@all: I hope this isn't off-topic, but I would like to ask (especially to the users who created the paintjobs) - I tried to make my own paintjob/skin for the WTD's Actros Gigaspace, and since this is my first time creating a paintjob I viewed YouTube tutorials and any other online tutorials that told me to use ETS2 Studio. (I used Photoshop to create the skin) The problem is, I couldn't find WTD's trucks at the "Base Truck" column at ETS2 Studio. Could I be missing something? Or are there any other way to create a paintjob?

Sorry if my question sounds so basic. But at least I'm eager to learn~
Thanks in advance for any replies/answers!

I don't like the automatic updates either as it is better to be able to manually update mods in order to avoid errors in the game.log.

@TruckerBoban22: Sorry to say that but, when they are done! V1 is published less than 48h and i am trying to make everyone happy.

@DerTrucker98: Now i get it! I will add normal packages of the compatibility packs. Not much work, but still more work. Just because some people don't like the workshop.^^

@DurandSmith: Thanks
About ETS2Studio - saw this theme yesterday on facebook. I will have a look, how to add trucks to ets2studio. I will record a video-tut or share the files.

Best regards,

Thunderhawk have you got my PM yesterday?

[LadenSwallow]

I've successfully added the two Big Stars to ETS2studio

AFAIK all you need is an extension to the truck database and some optional truck images.
I've made a ZIP file that can be extracted into the ETS2studio folder.

Here is the link:

Be careful - your existing truck database will be overwritten! I have extended the latest version of the ETS2studio database, but if you have already made your own extensions, it will take some effort to merge the two database files (with a diff/merge tool like "beyondcompare" or "windiff" ?)
