Multiple Trailers in Traffic - ATS - v1.49.1

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.

Multiple Trailers in Traffic - ATS - v1.49.1

#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
Forestry DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Forest Machinery DLC
Heavy Cargo DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Heavy Cargo DLC
LodeKing DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the LodeKing Trailers DLC
Oversize DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Special Transport DLC
Volvo Construction Equipment DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Volvo Construction Equipment DLC
More single trailers with more cargo.
Single and triple versions of the double trailers from Jazzycat's Painted Truck mod
Double versions of the containers and tanks from Arnook's Container Pack
Various other bits'n'bobs as detailed below

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. The mod has fancy truck colours courtesy of the inestimable CIP formerly of this parish, who also did most of the heavy lifting ha ha on the heavy cargo trailer adaptations. Kudos also due to mr.peterbilt for advising me that Special Transport trailers now work in traffic. I'm sure they used not to...

What's new?

Version 1.49.2 for ATS v1.49: Mr_Larrington__x27_s_ATS_Traffic_Mods_v1.49.2.7z - 33.5 MB <== Created 2023-12-17 13:19 GMT

AI Truck Templates: ATS_AI_Truck_templates.zip - 28.2 MB <== Created 2023-08-05 16:34 BST
  • Realised that the International 9900 A single and the C double are both day cabs so there's no need for a C single.
  • Added Volvo VNL 2018 B cab double; A & B cabs for oversize trailers.
  • Arnook double addon. I thought I'd already released this but apparently not. Sorry.
    [*}Farm Machinery DLC addon.
  • Greatly reduced spawning for Oversize loads.
  • Wind turbine blade added to Oversize addon.
  • Even yet more cargo for various trailers.
  • Lowboys with cotton harvester cargo moved from DLC Heavy Addon to Base.
  • Removed unused directories from /vehicle.
  • Fixed the odd error with RM doubles getting where they shouldn't.
  • New in v1.49.1...
  • New set of double trucks in the base mod. These are identical to the originals except that they ONLY haul double gooseneck and double flatbed trailers with container, tank, site office, generator and mixed construction cargo and their spawn ratio is 1/3 that of the regular ones. This means much more balanced numbers of double trailers.
  • ATS_High_Spawn_Frequency_Trailers discontinued. Gave me a headache and didn't work properly.
  • ATS_Low_Spawn_Frequency_Trailers also discontinued. Gave me another headache and also didn't work properly.
  • Increased spawn ratios for lowboy trailers.
  • New in v1.49.2...
  • Add Nuevo Leon.
  • Cotton harvesters now only appear in areas where there's cotton to be harvested.
  • Fix stupid error with bottom dumper trailer still being in traffic files.
If you are using cip's Traffic Density mod (or anyone else's come to that) then it MUST GO ABOVE ALL OF THESE MODS in the Mod Manager.

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 trailers still 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 on some, or more, of the lowboys. I have no idea why.
  • Some of the trailers adapted from owned ones have disembodied licence plates floating behind them. Like this:

    LP by Mr Larrington, on Flickr

    I think this is confined to the rear trailers of the b-double dryvan/insulated/reefer rigs and it's only visible from behind, so I've left these trailers in the main mod.
  • Most of the trailers in the Oversize addon are wide and therefore cause accidents on single-carriageway roads. For this reason their spawn frequencies are low.
  • The lights on the trailers adapted from owned ones are a Rubbish.
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.

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 ]

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.

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.

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) :lol:

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

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!
