Extra mod folder for Convoys

xliebig · #1 Post by **xliebig** » 05 Oct 2021 18:00

Since many ETS2 and ATS players have multiple mods (sometimes 200) is an extra mod menu for the convoy easier to deal with the mods . Not all mods need to be scanned by the convoy.
An example in the pictures.

Mods need to be loaded as the profile gets loaded so with two mod folders, as your idea suggests....the game would have no way of knowing which folder to load from.

it isnt needed at all anymore

A new ATS build 1.42.0.48 is available in public_beta on Steam.

Problem description
* We have updated how mods checksum are calculated in session browser

Previous solution
* After opening convoy screen we calculated checksums for ALL mods.
* There was a blocking screen showing calculation progress.

New solution
* After convoy screen is opened, checksums are calculated on background, while player can browse server list.
* Lobbies with mods that are not yet calculated have new animated icon. It should shop animating when processing id done.
* Selected lobbies with mods that are not yet calculated have new description for such mod - "processing". It should change to "installed" or "wrong version" when processing id done.
* Mods for selected lobby should be calculated with higher priority.
* Each frame gives 40ms to calculate mods, will lower UI FPS.
* Only after confirming lobby creation, there will be blocking screen with progress and only active mods will be calculated.
* Changed UI of Mod sync window. All of your active mods should be on the left, not just mods which have to be unmounted (previous) + some icon/visual changes.

Its suppose to be. That's one of the rules. Not everyone can understand non English on here. I'm assuming the choices is yes or no.

Actually, this is not a problem with the second mod folder.
Must be inserted theoretically only in the program / game a text line. For example " convoy =goto modfolder convoy/modkonv".
However that may look.
In the profile convoy modfolder select, and you then have 3-6 mods for the convoy with friends (Steam Workshop), or just the mod folder SP (SingelPlayer) where some have 120 mods and more activated. Thus, you can drive both in the same profile and does not need 2 profiles and the driven routes are identical.
Was just such a thought.

no you cant drive on the same profile, you will corrupt it if you remove mods without selling everything first and a second mod folder will not change this (wich is unnecessary anyway) and SW cant have a second folder
