Re: [REL] Proper Traffic Variety (1.39, 2/4/21)
Updated for 1.40, added support for Island Map, here's the full changelog:
-Tweaked some vehicle spawn rates for accuracy (Ford Crown Victoria, Chevrolet City Express, Ram 2500, and perhaps some others)
-Tweaked overall spawn rates
-Tweaked truck spawn rates for increased comparability with modded trucks (Thanks to Cip)
-More or less fixed Utah. It's still not the most compatible with traffic packs, but the lack of variety is certainly less noticeable

-Tweaked Ford Transit spawn rates in accordance with the new liveries
-Removed PostEd van from traffic in accordance with the new liveries
-Added support for Island Map

Is there any way to completely make the Isuzu NPR not spawn at all or, exchange its spawn for another modeL, preferrably a pickup or a suv. I really hate seeing it everywhere in ATS.

Also, question about this mod, since I installed it, I have not seen a single semi spawn. I only ever see cars. Is that a bug or a feature?

See the Bug section in the first post:
Regarding the semis: I've noticed that too. They spawn, but the rate is maybe a bit too low - Even on longer Interstate drives you sometimes see only 1-2 semis the whole timeBugs:
[...]
-Some states suffer from a preponderance of certain vehicles, such as the Isuzu NPR. I still haven't found a way to combat this without compromising the integrity of the current method.
Re: [REL] Proper Traffic Variety (1.40, 2/15/21, Island Map Support)
In a way, both. While the spawn rate is intended, I'm not fond of it. To ensure consistency, I've set the spawn ratio of semis the same way I set the spawn ratios of cars and other vehicles (same data gathering methods), which has put the semis at a rather low spawnrate. I have some ideas as to how this can be improved, and I hope to release an update in the near future. I'm not sure when this will be, so in the meantime, I would be happy to post some edited versions for you. I just need to know if you're running 1.39 or 1.40.
Yes, they are, they occur with several vehicles. Essentially, I couldn't find any of whichever vehicle in a state given my methods, so I set them to not spawn. The game doesn't like this very much, but it doesn't have any effect on gameplay.

Hey thanks @DW1899, I am on 1.40. I'd love a version that has semi spawn ratio generally somewhere between SCS default and your current mod has. SCS default is overkill, where as yours I barely see a single one, both feel somewhat unrealistic. If I am driving on the interstate a normal day I'd probably see at least 15-20 of them during only half an hour drive.DW1899 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2021 20:49In a way, both.

Finally no more semi spam and endless caravans of big rigs and buses. Also, yeah, while a much welcome change their spawn ratio is way too low and the general non-truck traffic could be more beefy.
On the flipside, not seeing rows of cars at 4 AM on some lonely road in Nevada was very immersive.

So, I was compiling a version for you, but in the process, I noticed I'd made a grave error with some semi spawn values. I had a small misunderstanding with how the game classifies semis, something that slipped through, and, even in my eyes, seemed intentional. That had a rather large effect.koolizz wrote: ↑21 Feb 2021 22:51 Hey thanks @DW1899, I am on 1.40.

I'll be expediting the update, I'll be releasing a hotfix in a few hours. Give that a shot when it comes out, if you still would like more semis, I would be more than happy to edit a version for you.
