[REL] Daniels ATS Random Events

[Laqueesha]

Alright, glad to hear, thanks.

I assume this is working well in 1.42 without any major problems and does it make a difference where it is located in the the Mods Manager ? Thanks for all the hard work and time put into this . Going to load it up and give it a try . Excellent addition to ATS !

Load order in manager?

@Crusader Should be working fine with no problems in 1.42 and 1.43. I haven't experienced any problems myself and am not aware of any problems from anyone else so far.

@fedeg_1 Should not make a difference where it is in the mod manager.

Is there any way I can edit this mod to work with traffic mods? I don't understand how it breaks in ATS, when I have similar traffic spawn mods in ETS2 and there the random events mod spawns proper vehicles.

Specifically this error:
03:12:58.471 : <ERROR> [traffic] Error finding a suitable traffic_trailer data variant of type 'truck_semi' (custom filter)
03:12:58.471 : <ERROR> [traffic] Error parsing trailer chain - unable to find a suitable trailer data variant for 'box'
03:12:58.471 : <ERROR> [parked_vehicle] "No suitable trailer model found!"

I definitely have truck_semi type trailers being loaded in my profile.

@erbkaiser Can you give me some more information on this issue? Do you get these errors in vanilla + my mod or only with my mod + other mods? If only with my mod + other mods do you know the exact mod + my mod that is causing these errors? Do the errors occur straight away or only at a certain point in the game e.g. when passing one of the events? If so do you know which event or have a screenshot?

Hi dan,

I'm getting the error only if I use your mod together with a traffic mod like cipinho's RTD ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1213282672 ) or Brutal Traffic.

It does not occur without a traffic mod. It also doesn't occur in the ETS2 version with traffic mod. I also don't get missing vehicles if I do not use your random events mod but do use a traffic mod.

What happens with your mod together with a traffic mod is that a random event is spawned but there are no vehicles, so I just see the markers and people, and effects like smoke or water spray.
At the same time I see errors about the missing truck_semi variant 'box' in the log.

I assume it is trying to load a vehicle traffic.box but somehow can't find it. Traffic.box is not referenced anywhere in the files for the RTD mod.

Here's an example with screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/pxA8tN2.jpg

I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a truck there.

Added another example https://i.imgur.com/jzwG196.jpg
The crashed vehicle and (I assume) fire truck aren't there, but the firemen and smoke effects are.

@erbkaiser Thank you very much for providing me with all those details. What version of ATS is this happening with?

[erbkaiser]

I'm using the current release version 1.42.1.11, but this is not new to 1.42.

I am only getting this with traffic mods, of which I tested Cipinho's RTD, the Proper AI Traffic Mod by DW1889, Brutal Traffic by Kass. I normally play with RTD.
Load order doesn't seem to make a difference, I'm getting the missing vehicles in the events if I load your Random Events mod before any traffic mod and AI traffic packs as well as when I have Random Events near the top of my load order.
