[REL]Dalton and Elliot Hwy Extreme 1:1 Scale ATS Ver 1.49.1.4 Summer Map Update 28 Nov 23

[Bandit188]

@hawkbs So how far can you change stuff in the random events? and how is everything else going to make the map work for 1.29?

[hawkbs]

The map works fine atm so far as I can tell. Doing a trip up the dalton and editing anything I see wrong as I go.
The scenes are a real p.i.t.a to get working right. Some dont want to work as it says it cant find certain vehicles (i.e the Cessna) that I have not changed at all, then some scenes are too far out in the road and I have a cop with his arm through the windscreen as well.

Edit:

Things are looking better

Now I gotta see if I can change the cop so his arm doesnt go through the windscreen

Edit: Ok gonna have to leave him with his arm through the window for now.

Been driving from Fairbanks up towards Pump 7 and yet to see any speeders pulled over, crashes or anything like that. Seen plenty of marks on the road and tyres on the side of the road.
I think it may have to do with the angles of the roads as well not sure yet but it may take some time to work out and get working properly.
Not gonna commit to a release time for this patch update as yet until the Scenes are working correctly.
I wont include anything from New Mexico as yet until I get the chance to continue work on Deadhorse and Fort Knox Gold Mine.
So dont panic about that yet guys.

Thanks for the update hawkbs and a quick way to test all random events is put the slider all across.

[hawkbs]

It already is all the way over

[Bandit188]

Hope you can get it fixed. random events should happen any where.

[hawkbs]

Although they should they have conditions with them such as the width of the shoulders for one. Ive adjusted those so we shall have to see. theres also the fact of the scale of the map too compared to the base game.
So could be a while to see them. There is a minimum distance between them as well so might play with that too. The type of road lane i.e. some are set for certain roads such as specific highways, whether its an urban Area or not etc.
Those are just the ones Im aware of.

[Bandit188]

so it basically could mess up the roads to no longer match the real life like dalton highway map? @hawkbs road events are intended to work only on 2+ lane roads . i also contacted a scs software dev guy who's going pass this topic to the random event maker to see if he can help.

[hawkbs]

That would be the part of the rules that says

Code: Select all

	allowed_lane_types[]: freeway

which I have already changed to

Code: Select all

	allowed_lane_types[]: freeway
	allowed_lane_types[]: elliot
	allowed_lane_types[]: dalton
	allowed_lane_types[]: johansen
	allowed_lane_types[]: motorway
	allowed_lane_types[]: expressway
	allowed_lane_types[]: expressway55

Which includes mine now as well as the ones for the city areas which have also been adjusted for their lane/road types etc

EDIT:

Just Dev Cam running the highway in a saved game and spotted this

followed shortly thereafter by another Fire truck cutting down another tree and then this further along.

Only issue there is that Im on the Elliot Highway so that Police Vehicle is wrong as thats the Police Vehicle for the North Slope Borough which
starts just before the Push Truck area before Chandalar Shelf and goes all the way upto Deadhorse then all the way over to Nuiqsut irl.
So gonna have to adjust that and maybe make seperate scenes for each borough. Otherwise I could end up with Fairbanks Police spawning up
by Deadhorse.
At least now I know it is working somewhat. I need to keep checking the road and see what else is and isnt spawning now.
Also I noticed that my game had a new download today and I couldnt see any patch notes or even an update queued notice on steam so Im going to have to
extract and compare all the files again from the basegame.

Coming out of Fairbanks going up the hill to Farmers Loop on the way to Fox.

Still havent spotted a crash yet so some more investigating needed there and I need to edit the map a little and move some barriers out a little bit.
Saw a bus on the Dalton that had broken down but was alos impailed on a barrier going around a corner and also at Fox there by the weighstation.
There is also a little issue with magical floating cows in some parts so going to have to set them back to certain areas only.

omg hawkb my hype level has gone thourgh the roof with the sneak peaks of the random events.

@hawkbs have you seen this random event before? It's perfect for the dalton highway.
