Mercedes Benz New Actros 2019 [Update 1.49/ 16.01.2024]

[NemesysTrans]

Anybody knows why the name of the truck appears as series_mercedes_actros_2019 in the trucks list?

@NemesysTrans

Because apparently it's super difficult to fix the display name in the truck browser because it requires adding a /locale folder (which has 42 subfolders, one for each language in the game), and then planting a .sii file with the translation from the @@ term given in the data.sii for the truck. The problem is getting the file names right I think. Eugene somehow managed to do it, but I have no idea if you can extrapolate a method of adding the name for the Actros 2019 using the /locale folder of his Scania as a base. I've been looking around in the def and locale folder and some of the definitions in the locale folder don't match anything in any of the def files.

there is no problem at all since at least 4 game versions we are able to make custom translations for our mods

i added the proper names for every GTM truck when SiSL updated the mods for 1.39

No, it is not really that difficult @Winchester1979. It is really easy to fix this bug, its just the game does not recognize the number "2019" in in data.sii file I think (when it is combined with mercedes_benz_series wording I mean)

You need to go to def/vehicle/truck/mercedes.actros 2019/data.sii and change the content of it to something like this, then the issue of not proper display will be corrected:

PS: This "fix" is just for the truck dealer, sorry I misread the truck browser

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
accessory_truck_data : vehicle.mercedes.actros2019
{
	info[]: "@@brand_mercedes@@"
	info[]: "@@Actros 2019@@"
	info[]: "@@brand_mercedes_short@@"	# optional shorter brand name

[xXCARL1992Xx]

this wont work either, the game doesnt know what @@Actros 2019@@ is

[LAFAYET47]

Are you sure? @xXCARL1992Xx

hm, then the game ignores the @@ and prints the names that are written, of well, for a name this would work because they are not translated but it wont work for truck browser, there you need to create a locale file to display the right name

[NemesysTrans]

@LAFAYET47 : there must be something else to change.

Here is the content of the data.sii from the DEF mod, in def/vehicle/truck/mercedes.actros2019:

Code: Select all

accessory_truck_data : vehicle.mercedes.actros2019
{
	info[]: "@@brand_mercedes@@"
	info[]: "@@Actros 2019@@"
	info[]: "@@brand_mercedes_short@@"	# optional shorter brand name

And here is what I see in the mod dealer:

In the base mod, there is a locale folder. Is it possible it causes this problem?

[LAFAYET47]

Umm, it works for me @NemesysTrans . I didn´t touch the locale folder, it´s unlikely that's the cause. Do you have any other mod (accessories, engines, whatsoever) that makes changes into this mod? Try giving a high priority to Mercedes 2019

[better0ff]

The locale folder only contains the german translations for the mod. That's why the names are not being translated if the language of the profile is not set to german. You can add subfolders with custom translations for your language to the locale folder (or simply copy the german ones and edit them) and it should pull the correct names from those translations.
