Blender ATS - Pete 389 Custom Chassis doesn't appear [SOLVED]

#1 Post by SchmidtFG » 28 May 2023 10:48

Hello all,

I've been making my own mods step by step, and stumbled upon a weird problem with my custom Peterbilt 389 chassis 6x4.
I would like to get rid of the rear step toolbox (red highlighted on the pic) and whatever I do, the toolbox appears in game.

Here are the steps:
1. I deleted everthing but the chassis 6x4 on the variant list including all unneccessary elements on the scs parts.
2. the basic elements on the scs parts tab for the default chassis 6x4 are: fsh_all, ch_shrd, ch_bc, ch_6x4_bc.
3. renamed all of them with an sr_ prefix.
4. also renamed the only element on the variants tab to sr389t1, and the sr looks to sr389ch1 (tried with "default", didn't make any difference).
5. the chassis itself got a unique name: sr_389_tr1
6. exported the model without having any issues and/or warning , put the .pmc, .pmd, .pmd files in the appropriate directory
7. made a custom def file, sr_389_tr1.sii:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
accessory_chassis_data : sr389tr1.peterbilt.389.chassis
{
	name: "Custom Long 6x4 300@@gal@@"
	price: 1
	unlock: 1
	info[]: "6x4"
	info[]: "150/150 @@gal@@"
	icon: "peterbilt_389/frame_bc"

	model: "/vehicle/truck/peterbilt_389/sr_389_tr1.pmd"
	collision: "/vehicle/truck/peterbilt_389/sr_389_tr1.pmc"
        variant: sr389t1
	look: sr389ch1
	extended_shadow_texture: "/vehicle/truck/peterbilt_389/shadow_bc.tobj"
	extended_shadow_intensity: 1.0
	extended_shadow_fadeout_start: 10
	extended_shadow_fadeout_length: 0
	ui_shadow: "/vehicle/truck/peterbilt_389/ui_shadow_bc.pmd"

	tank_size: 1136
	air_tank_pressure: 8.5
	nominal_voltage: 12

	residual_travel[]: 0.1
	residual_travel[]: 0.088
	residual_travel[]: 0.088

	powered_axle[]: false
	powered_axle[]: true
	powered_axle[]: true

	kerb_weight[]: 5202	# 11445lb
	kerb_weight[]: 2027	# 4460lb
	kerb_weight[]: 2027	# 4460lb

	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/cabin/standard.sii"
	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/accessory/bumper/shape01.sii"
	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/accessory/sideskirt/shape01bc.sii"
	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/accessory/exhaust/shape01.sii"
	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/accessory/mudflaps/shape01.sii"
	defaults[]: "/def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/accessory/trlr_cables/stock.sii"

	conflict_with[]: "duty.peterbilt.389.cabin"

@include "sound.sui"
}
}
So. I don't know what else I should do because everything seems to be right, no error logs, unique names, the mod itself appears in game but the rear step toolbox also visible (it was deleted in Blender of course).
Any advice would be appreciated.

the steps are part of the sleeper cabs, not the chassis

Does that mean wrong .sii file or what?
I copied the def/vehicle/truck/peterbilt.389/chassis/long2.sii.
It's for the chassis or not?

no, just delete the mesh of the stairs (it might even be a separate one) and just overwrite SCS truck model with your own if you dont need them at all

I don't want to overwrite the original scs chassis but creating a new one, as I posted above with detailed description.
The mesh itself is already deleted.
If I get it right, the accessory_chassis_data contains the physical model and allocates what cabins and accessories fit. Like duty.peterbilt.389.cabin doesn't fit to this chassis.
My question remains, what should I do to get this standalone chassis?

@SchmidtFG Have you checked the cabin's def file to make sure it is 'calling' your chassis and not the SCS one? If it is, then those steps will appear because the cabin isn't loading your pmd. Just a thought.
If you suck at playing the trumpet, that's probably why.

@room217au Hello room,
Thanks for the answer, you are right, the cabin file called the original one at first.

Yes I have and since then have gotten CTD (forgot to add cabin preference at first yesterday when opened this topic). Don't really understand since my new cabin file callling the proper chassis, however the cabin itself is doubled on the list.
I imported the pete truck again, deleted the rear toolbox mesh and exported the whole file with unique name yesterday night, and ever since.... CTD.
1. If I use the whole truck file, do I have to define all cabins and all chassis (i.e. everything that listed on the variant and looks list) since there are conflict parts in both type of files?
or
2. I would rather delete everything in blender truck file except the 6x4 chassis (I don't need the others) and all types of cabins that originally fit to each other?
Do I have to rename the variant and looks file at all?

Thanks in advance.

@SchmidtFG "Don't really understand since my new cabin file callling the proper chassis, however the cabin itself is doubled on the list."
Check your game log. At the end of the file there'll be a critical error. 9/10 the log will give a clue as to what's missing/wrong. Good place to start at least :)

@room217au
That was a mess... an interior .sii file reffered to something that didn't even exist. I made custom interior file prior to this but that was ignored for some reason.
I reversed the whole project, deleted the toolbox mesh from the truck file, overwrite the original and added a new accessory slot with the toolbox. it's okay now.
Thanks anyway.
