@johnny244 Hello, I chose your truck for a quick job and found the right hand side fuel tank on a 6x2 midlift chassis inside the liftable axle tyre. Would the following error have anything to do with your mod or is it a result of a mod conflict with Pendragon's Volvo mods?

Line 2363: 00:07:49.792 : <ERROR> Incorrect f-wheel definition for /vehicle/truck/volvo_fh3_2009/chassis/chs_6x2p.pmd

Please let me know if this is something you can fix or if I have to enable the two Volvo mods in a new profile

[johnny244]

As far as I know, I haven't made the truck available in quick jobs. I didn't make the definitions necessary for it to appear.

Correct, only truck_dealer and truck_desktop are in the defs, no truck_company.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

throw the dealer and desktop fiels into company, it should use them then

That is what I did, but I don't seem to have control over the fuel tank size on the chassis. I am not a hardcore modder. I just learnt how to get modded trucks for use with quick jobs just by throwing the dealer files into a company folder and configuring it based on the stuff available under def/vehicle/truck/volvo.fh3/. The 6x2p_midlift.sii file also does not seem to have an option to change the tank size to match the chassis configuration. I'm guessing that calling the 6x2_midlift.sii in the .company.truck means literally slapping on the 6x2 midlift chassis as a whole which includes the axles, wheels, tires, fuel tanks and the exhaust aftertreatment system as a single part which I believe, is all contained in a single file called chs_6x2p.pmd as seen in the error code. I may be wrong here, so please feel free to correct me. I am here to learn

I know in ATS at least the fuel tanks accessories now have the "accessory_addon_tank_data", which was introduced in game update 1.41.

By default all chassis have the "tank_size" attribute.

If however you decide to use the "fuel_tank_size" attribute on the fuel tanks it will override the chassis "tank_size" attribute making it null.


Regarding the 6x2_midlift.sii in .company.truck, there are seperate data paths for specific parts of the truck.

Let's say in the .company.truck .sii file you have specified this:

Code: Select all

vehicle_accessory : .chassis {
	data_path: "/def/vehicle/truck/volvo.fh3/chassis/4x2.sii"

You change it to this:

Code: Select all

vehicle_accessory : .chassis {
	data_path: "/def/vehicle/truck/volvo.fh3/chassis/6x2.sii"

It'll change the chassis AND the fuel tank size since this truck does not have the fuel tanks as a seperate accessory.

I cannot actually see "tank_size" mentioned in the chassis defs which is strange, unless I'm overlooking something as that's where it should be by default.

@AlwaysLonging @Digital X I have indeed made the fuel tanks a separate accessory to implement the new "fuel_tank_size" attribute, and the fuel tank size now actually changes depending on what chassis and engine you use. Different engines may use different exhaust silencers, which may differ in size.

You don't see "tank_size" in the chassis defs because it's now obsolete and I removed it.

Regarding adding the truck to quick jobs, it's not enough to just change the chassis from 4x2 to midlift in the def file. Please make sure you also manually change the lines defining other accessories to which the chassis is tied, like fuel tanks, wheel configurations, etc.

I couldn't see the fuel tanks in the def/upgrade folders though?

[johnny244]

The models are in "vehicle\truck\volvo_fh3_2009\accessory\exhst_fltr", while the defs are in "def\vehicle\truck\volvo.fh3\accessory\exhst_fltr". I bundled up the fuel tank model with the exhaust
silencer's, so that in the defs I can change fuel tank size attribute depending on the chassis variant and the silencer type.
