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

[Vinnie Terranova]

That's true, but there are several work-arounds to get ProMods Canada working in ATS v1.42.

[paul_aydol]

PMME has already been released. For sure the next thing that will be updated are CAGI and RSM of TerraMaps. RTA has already been updated to work with 1.42.

@Vinnie Terranova, have you see the post in ROEX forums with regards to the hybrid RC? Since PR is not yet updated, the normal RCs can be used.

[Vinnie Terranova]

As far as I know, in ETS2 v1.42 nothing has changed regarding the map itself. This basically means that all v1.41 map mods should work in ETS2 v1.42. The only thing is that some manifest files has an entry

Code: Select all

compatible_versions[]: "1.41.*"

If you change that to 1.42, or if you put an # at the beginning of that line, or if you just remove that line, then the mod should load in ETS2 v1.42. So this means that we don't have to wait for an updated PR, and it also means we still might be able to use the hybrid RC.

In the meantime I've downloaded the updated map mods, so now I'm ready to update and test the new load order. But it can take some time, ofcourse.

Notes:

1) If you don't want the big Global map combo but instead the smaller Eurasia map combo, just delete all non-Europe related files: Project Greenland (2 files), AfroMap (1 file), EAA (7 files), JRR (3 files), PJ Indo (3 files).

2) For the background mod, which can be found on the RoExtended website, choose ONE of the Ultimate background mods OR the Promods based combos mod:

Ultimate background mod:

• Crash fix for huge combo maps
• ETS2 satellite BG for EU, AF, AS, OC (v1.2) OR ETS2 SCS style BG for EU, AF, AS, OC (v1.2) OR ETS2 SCS thin style BG for EU, AF, AS, OC (v1.2)

OR

Promods based combos mod:

• ETS2_LAMB_SAT_BG_MAP_BORDERS_BLACK_PM (v1.2)

OR

• Crash fix for huge combo maps
• ProMods High Quality Afroeurasia Background Map

3) Instead of the universal english localization mod, you can use separate english city names mods for some map mods. Just place each english city names mod just above the corresponding map mod. For instance: place "The Great Steppe English City Names" just above "The Great Steppe - def".

4) Tekirdag is not compatible with TR Extended.

5) Extract "latvia_rebuild-v127-for-pm_v252.scs" using scs_extractor.exe, edit manifest.sii: put a # before "compatible_versions[]: "1.40.*", add to archive using 7-Zip.

6) Download can be found here: look into the pfd file at "42. Project Balkans Map Combo Fix".

7) Don't upgrade the garage on Corfu as it wil lead to a crash.

8) Downloads can be found here: look into the pfd file at number 25 and 64.

9) If a mod shows a compatibility error with ETS2 v1.41, try the following: open the mod, edit manifest.sii, put a # just before "compatible_versions[]: "1.40.*", and save.

Load order updated for ETS2 v1.42. But... before you try to use this map combo load order, read the following:

I have not (yet) included Poland Rebuilding and EAA. I will try to include Poland Rebuilding but it will take some time. If all goes well I will also try to include EAA. If EAA lead to a crash I might consider to exclude EAA from the map combo permanently, as using EAA in a map combo lead to excessive loading times.

To use this new map combo load order for ETS2 v1.42 (which is completely based on the load order for ETS2 1.41) you have to do a few things:
- Update as many map mods as possible. You know where to find them.
- When you have moved the updated map mods in place in the Mod Manager you'll notice that some map mods are incompatible with ETS2 v1.42. Those map mods have not been updated (yet). The map mods that are incompatible with ETS2 v1.42 are:

• Corfu (2 files)
• Macedonia Rework (3 files)
• Red Sea (2 files)
• Jan Mayen (1 file)

To make those map mods compatible, do the following:
- Macedonia Rework + Jan Mayen: open with any compression utility (7-Zip, WinRar, etc) the .scs files, edit manifest.sii by putting a # just at the beginning of the line:

Code: Select all

compatible_versions[]: "1.41.*"

and save the file. If the edited manifest.sii file is not automatically repacked into the .scs file, do it manually.

- Corfu + Red Sea: for this you'll need a utility D.A.R.T (google for it).
Use D.A.R.T to repair the .scs files. You then can open the repaired mod in the same way as described above. After editing the manifest files and saving the changes, you can rename the repaired mod so it matches the name of the original mod files.
N.B. You also can choose not to use D.A.R.T. In that case just remove the Corfu and Red Sea files from the map combo.

Last but not least: known issues: there are some crashes reported in the Lublin area, so for now: avoid that area. And ofcourse: if you find any errors of if you have a crash, just let me know.

[paul_aydol]

Red Sea Map has been updated, so no need to use D.A.R.T. for that one.

PR's manifest files can be edited for it to be forced compatible, it seems. But I need to test it out.

[salessio2]

Thank you very much, I’ll try the new Red Sea map

[Digital X]

Jan Mayen is being updated for 1.42 as I speak. Not sure when It'll be ready though.

Just edit the manifest.sii for now, it's a substantial update as the entire map is being rebuilt. At an estimate, some time mid November.

[LancerFourms]

Hi. When I installed the Corfu and Red Sea map, they are marked as incompatible on ETS2 1.42. I know that editing the manifest.sii on either of these maps would make them playable, but my 7zip wouldn't let me, instead giving me Data Error messages. Also, I couldn't afford other zip-viewing/editing files like WinZip.

@LancerFourms check out this post: viewtopic.php?p=1623774#p1623774

Also red sea map has been updated so you need to worry about corfu. Although it would be released soon.
