Load Order - ETS2 v1.49 Map Combos (Updated 07 Apr 2024 - Heart of Africa - Horn of Africa - Road into Wilderness)

At first sight that is very strange. Untill I realized that I now use a different background mod, with the old file structure... So basically I have to make a second version of this fix with some minor adjustments. Probably gonna do that tomorrow.

Right, the Viewpoint Fix was originally done for the Universal ATS BG, but it should also work
for the ETS2 Ultimate BGs, NOT for the special Promods one, as that has the normal map_data.sii
in it!

[Arnook]

That explains it then, thanks for the clarification.
I'll wait for the PM version of the viewpoint fix then.

[Vinnie Terranova]

I've uploaded the PM version of the Viewpoint Fix. See note 2) below the load order list in the first post.
I haven't check it yet, but I'm very positive that it works. I will check soon.

[Arnook]

thank you very much!

Please, tell me if you can see either the Viewpoint Fix OR the Crash Fix anywhere in the Various other BGs section of my topic!

I can confirm that the fix for ETS2_LAMB_SAT_BG_MAP_BORDERS_BLACK_PM_v1.1.scs is working. I wasn't able to see the viewpoints with the previous fix. Now they appear on the map

@Arnook You're welcome!

@BenganJ As far as I can tell, the Crash Fix is only needed when using one of your Ultimate backgrounds. So I have to put a note about this in the load order list. Thanks for letting me know!

But the Viewpoint Fix is still needed with your PM based background: I couldn't see any viewpoints without the new Viewpoint Fix. Take a look at the map_items_flags values.

In the map_data.sii file of the PM based background the values start with:
map_items_flags[0]: 0x81....

while in the Viewpoint Fix the values start with:
map_items_flags[0]: 0x285....

and if you take a look at the def.scs that came with ETS2 v1.40 those values also start with:
map_items_flags[0]: 0x285....

Yes, the Viewpoint fix in your version is needed, but the Crash fix is included in the PM BG.
I know about those new flag values and all of my BGs will be updated soon with the new ones.
BUT, if all go as planned the two BGs under Various other BGs section will be removed later.

EDIT: BTW, the new fix for EAA versus Promods problem has been released. Get it here:

I have changed the load order and changed some notes, so now it should be crystal clear which background mods you can choose from, and which fixes you need for the chosen background.

BUT, if all go as planned the two BGs under Various other BGs section will be removed later.

Why are you planning to remove the ProMods based background map mod? I know that there are some problems with alignments, but at least this PM based background mod doesn't have this ugly shift anomaly all over EAA... I mean, even if you remove this PM based background mod, I probably still will using it.

BTW, the new fix for EAA versus Promods problem has been released.

Thanks for letting me know! Load order in the first post has been updated.
