[REL] Daniels Random Events

[danbywinby]

@acrox999 Completely agreed that roadworks makes much more sense for closing a whole road.

@NARS Yes apologies for not including that stuff, realised soon after the release but seen as it was only a minor update i haven't bothered with releasing anew version with all of that included. I will try to remember for the next release though

I am currently trying out the idea of adding cone tapers to the accident events that only close half of one lane. I am particularly thinking that these will make more sense for the accidents that spawn on the country lanes and rural roads even more so if you have ambulance and/or fire department on scene. However i would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Love this mod, but the police officers attending RTCs have some real anger issues now

[danbywinby]

They do at the moment will try to add more variety of them in soon.

@andysuter1972 are you in 1.39 ?

Sorry, just seen this reply (i hadnt ticked subscribe to the post)

Yes 1.39. I have events on max. ONly one i have seen so far is a lone car broken at side of road with steam coming from engine. Not sure if thats a default scs event though.

As mentioned, the mod thumbnail is just the greyed out ETS logo in mod manager for me. Is that right?

EDIT - Solved it. I had detours set at min/off (even though i had events at max). As soon as i increased it, the events started appearing, even if it wasnt a detour.

I have been working on tweaking the 'narrow' accident scenes.

As you can see in the screenshots below i have added lots more varieties of the police officers on scene.

I am also trying out a different approach for generating the actual accident scene itself rather than creating the entire scene itself i have simply created scenes of each vehicle in various positions and the game then randomly chooses two scenes out of the selection. This approach will allow for a lot more variety of accident scenes in the generated events.

Please let me know what you think of this approach and whether you think i should use this approach going forward more or not.

Great work! I like this approach very much. Looking forward to the update

[andysuter1972]

Just a thought, does this work in promods or just vanilla maps?

[djadlib]

Works in promods

[andysuter1972]

Works in promods

Thanks. I still dont get that many events

[danbywinby]

@andysuter1972 Have you set the slider in the gameplay options to the highest setting? If you have and you still aren't seeing many events i would suggest manually setting it in the game console on your game config file (more details on how to do this can be found here viewtopic.php?t=61852). I believe the setting is g_events or g_road_events or something along those lines. I believe the ingame slider sets it between 0 and 3 but it can be set higher, I have mine on 10 so I see plenty for testing purposes.
