[Guide] How to create on-board computer mod.

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Hey @piva ,I followed your guide and edited one of your mods (Scania Griffin 1.2). This is the result. This is the first time I work on an ETS2 mod and I think it's very good. (click on pics for full size).

I think you should change names have format: _nameless
For example: ui::window : _nameless.0116276a0 = ui::window: volvofh16.
_nameless.gear = .gear

I am doing it like this:

Code: Select all

ui::text_template : piva.vnl.clock {
	text: "<align hstyle=right><color value=FF8c8786><font face=/font/mack_light.font xscale=0.8 yscale=0.8>%0</font></align>
		   <ret><align hstyle=right right=-60><offset vshift=-370><color value=FFFFFFFF><font face=/font/lcd_italic.font xscale=2 yscale=2>%0</font></align>"
}
