Multiple Trailers in Traffic - ATS - v1.56.3

Mr Larrington · #1 Post by **Mr Larrington** » 16 Dec 2018 17:30

Executive summary: All the trailers SCS didn't think you needed. Plus some other Stuffs.

Where it came from:
Someone anonymous did one for earlier versions of both games but it didn't get updated after an SCS update. It was credited to Jazzycat but although it used his truck models it never appeared on his web site, so I assume his participation was without his knowledge. This one is based on what the original did, but only uses SCS models, has been kept more or less up to date and has had extra bits added to it.

What it does

Adds double/triple trailers in traffic.
Adds cargo in traffic from the Farm Machinery, Forest Harvesting, Heavy Cargo and Volvo Construction DLCs.
Adds trailers in traffic from the Forest Harvesting & Lodeking DLCs.
Adds trailers and cargo in traffic from the Oversize DLC.
Makes all trailers with visible cargo appear in traffic with the full range of available loads.
Versions of the trucks in the Truck Traffic Pack by Jazzycat mod for double/triple trailers.
Single and triple versions of the 28' double rigs from the Painted Truck Traffic Pack by Jazzycat mod.
Single and triple versions of the 28' double rigs from the trucks and trailers traffic project by d goldhaber mod.
Double/triple trailer availability in areas outwith the SCS map e.g. Canada & Mexico.
More double & triple trailers for cargo-hauling.
More trucks to haul the double/triple trailers in traffic.

ATS Extra Boxes

Install this above the Base and Single Trailer mods if you think dryvan/insulated/box trailers are being unfairly outnumbered by the other trailers in this package.
Adds extra dryvan/insulated/reefer trailers.
Less likely to be needed if you're using other traffic mods from the likes of SiSL, Jazzycat or TrafficManiac.

ATS DLC Traffic

Adds trailers & cargo for assorted DLCs:
- Farm Machinery
- Forest Harvesting
- Heavy Cargo
- JCB
- Krone Agriculture
- Lodeking
- Volvo Construction Equipment
Trailers and cargo for each component will only appear if you have the relevant DLC installed.
Only includes default SCS trailers for Farm Machinery/JCB/Volvo cargo.
Only includes default SCS cargo on Lodeking flatbeds & dropdecks.
Oversize trailers have been split out to a separate mod.

The big stuff.
Now a separate mod because the trailers tend to block roads, cause crashes and generally interrupt the smooth running of your company.
Has separate trucks with low spawn ratios and a maximum speed of 88 km/h - increased in line with the speed limit for Freight Market Special Transport jobs.
Requires that the Oversize (Special Transport) DLC is installed.

ATS ATS Arnook Doubles

Adds Arnook's different cargo types to double gooseneck trailers.
Requires Arnook's Container Pack V12 - from Steam Workshop or viewtopic.php?t=303954

ATS Multiple Trailers For Cargo

Allows B-double/Rocky Mountain/Turnpike double and pup triple trailers for cargo in states, provinces and countries from other map mods
Corrects some of the patent absurdities in the SCS cargo definitions, like refrigerated curtains.
Adds a bunch of double & triple trailers in the markets without having to go to the trouble and expense of buying them. Most of these DON'T have the company-specific paint jobs available on the standard trailers because they're based on owned trailers.

ATS Double Trucks for CIP Sound Mod

Versions of all the trucks in the other mods tweaked to sound better with CIP's Sound Mods.

ATS Truck Templates - separate download; not a mod

Templates for skinning Jazzycat's Freightliner Cascadia & Volvo VNL (from Jazzycat's Painted Truck traffic mod), Hawkbs' Kenworth W900 (from the Dalton Highway mod), Insane J's (aka Mohegan13) Kenworth T800 (from the Carlile Transportation Systems mod in the Steam Workshop) and D Goldhaber's Freightliner Cascadia day cab, Volvo VNL day cab and International LT day cab & sleeper.

See the readme_ats.txt included in the package for suggested load order.

Trailer paint jobs are the standard-issue SCS ones. Real companies mods should replace the SCS skins with their own, though note that this can cause logos to fall off the end of trailers or display other unseemly behaviour.

Thanks to:

CIP for the truck colours and figuring out lots of Stuffs which had me going round in circles.
mr.peterbilt for advising me that Oversize DLC trailers now work in traffic

Known issues

Some trailers might arrive before their wheels do. To fix this, edit your config.cfg file and change the line:
Code: Select all
```
uset g_lod_factor_traffic "0"
```
to
Code: Select all
```
uset g_lod_factor_traffic "5"
```
The game sometimes sets the graphics mode back to "ZX-81" after a crash, so keep a backup copy of your config.cfg file handy.
The double & triple trailers still sometimes sink into the road surface, fall apart, materialise in the middle of your traffic lane or tie themselves in knots from time to time.
Warning flags don't appear the back of the traffic trailers which are supposed to have them. I have no idea why.
Some of the trailers adapted from owned ones have disembodied licence plates floating behind them. I think this is confined to the rear trailers of the b-double dryvan/insulated/reefer rigs and you have to concentrate to spot them.
One of the mixed triple trailers generates an error message in the log but it does still appear.
ADR labels have stopped working on dryvans and some tankers.
It appears that all containers are blue chiz.
The railway loads from the Oversize DLC use a weird trailer that doesn't work in traffic, though IIRC they didn't work in v1.53 either.

See the description text files in each mod for the countries/regions in which the trailers appear, and how to make the multis appear everywhere if that's what you want.

You are actively encouraged to take these mods apart to see how they work and put your own trucks and trailers in them. To this end, the package will always be free and able to be unpacked without resorting to any funny business.

In case of problems please post your game.log.txt file, or at least all of it from the line containing

Code: Select all

I can't speak for anyone else, of course, but I downloaded this file because when I read the readme.txt file in the newer one, which I always do before I add a mod to the game, it said "updated for v1.33", and I have 1.32. But after I downloaded this file I saw it says the same thing. So do you have a 1.32 version? Or will these work in 1.32 and I am clueless as usual about updates I don't have? [ external image ]

Mr Larrington · #3 Post by **Mr Larrington** » 17 Dec 2018 15:03

There was a 1.32 version at one point. Let me consult the backups...

Edit: v2.0 for game v1.32 re-uploaded - see first post.

Nice!

Cool stuff!

Mr Larrington · #6 Post by **Mr Larrington** » 17 Dec 2018 22:50

SCS have updated ETS2 to v1.33.2.19 while I was eating my dinner and thus broken the mod. ATS also got updated, but the mod is unaffected.

See first post for updated version.

cip · #7 Post by **cip** » 03 Jan 2019 12:17

Happy New Year Mr Larrington! nice initiative with new topic for multiple trailers in traffic. what you did not mention and you should is that inevitably there are traffic files in your mod, these were broken on 17 December in ETS2 not the multiple trailers.
For info, you mod as it is now, is not compatible with traffic density mods, it must be placed above to see doubles in traffic, but the traffic mod may be affected (depending what's the complexity level of the density mod used).
For info I added the rules for multiple trailers in traffic in my traffic density mod and I mentioned this in my thread for ATS and ETS2.
now for traffic there are overrides rules that can make your doubles compatible with any traffic mods, please remind me to do this one day! currently I am busy with Chris45 doubles, for some reasons I have crashes in ATS with no errors but I suspect the Chris45 pack... need more investigation, I may be wrong (I hope)

Walker Bill · #8 Post by **Walker Bill** » 12 Feb 2019 04:30

Work great in ATS 1.34 too. Anyway, can you make default turnpike double by scs (not 53' wabash trailer) to the traffic? it consists two 45ft trailers (first one with hook with def name dry_45_hook and the second one being dry_45_r). Thanks you so much

Mr Larrington · #9 Post by **Mr Larrington** » 05 Mar 2019 00:52

Announcing v3.2, as sort-of requested by Walker Bill - see first post for links etc. Only real change is the inclusion of 45' turnpike doubles alongside the existing 53' ones. See also the first post if you want just one or the other type.

Sorry for the delay but I've actually been doing some driving!
