[1.60] Krone Swap Body Pack (Mod Dependency) [Krone DLC required]

[Sebastian7870]

Hello, community!
This time, I got an "asset pack" for you . It will be required for modifications, which use models or textures from this mod-file.
I split it from my other modifications to avoid conflicts (models/textures) and to lower the effort for other modders by not needing to add all model files again and simply "make a dependency" on this modification.
The newer versions (v1.4.5+) also include invisible trailers, allowing you to carry cargo without having to tow a visible trailer.
This modification is a dependency for other modifications and will not add any content on its own except for the invisible trailers.
All files were modelled, textured and implemented into EuroTruckSimulator2 by me (Sebastian7870).

Please note that the invisible trailer is an experimental feature and is not officially supported by SCS.
You may hear squeaking noises from the invisible trailer. I cannot change this as it is hardcoded into each trailer. Also, you will have to skip parking your trailer, as you will not be able to position it straight without seeing it
Problems such as the lorry lifting into the air because the invisible trailer glitches into the ground are unfortunately possible.

A big thank you to everyone who helped by sending me pictures from swap bodies: KieskutscherEF, Sven 1055, Glubbschi477DE, President_Kunze, and bekowicz.

[Mike Zadra]

sorry Sebastian7870 but, the "KroneDryBoxWK73ST_CustomSkin.dds" file is damaged in all 3 links that you have posted

[Sebastian7870]

@Mike Zadra the newest version should work ("v1.2 for 1.42") Sorry for that.

[s4nyi82]

why is it that only max 13 tons of cargo truck not carries cargo

[M.K.]

Hi Sebastian,

at first thanks for your great work. The Mods you are made are awesome, really.
A little question, did you may plan also a 20ft container pack for your trucks and trailers? Like the swap body pack? I know for 20ft. container normaly you have small changed chassis, but it works also with the current Chassis normaly.

Thanks for feedback and your hard work

[ThunderSky]

Am I allowed to upload to steam a custom skin made by me using the template you put here? So my friends can download the skin I made for your mod.
And: How can I add more than just one custom skin?
@Sebastian7870

[Sebastian7870]

@ThunderSky Templates may be shared all the time without asking (but thank you for reading the description carefully).
More than one custom skin is not possible currently but this will get changed in the future with a swap body rework.

[ThunderSky]

Thank you!

@s4nyi82, Sebastian had already commented on this in one of the 3 mods in the workshop. The 13t weight for a loaded swap body is quite realistic - after all, we are assuming European/German weight ratios here. The problem with this seemingly low weight is the fact that the ETS2 from SCS has not integrated or supported any articulated trains. All cargo that you transport in the game is transported in/on the trailer. In this case, the towing vehicle (the "tractor") is unloaded. With the 13t load, thanks to the good weight settings of the motor vehicle, you get a total weight of just under 40t and the teams can be driven very well and, above all, realistically.

Edit:
s4nyi82, look here for the pinned topic in Sebastian's workshop because of the weights

M.K. do you think you want to drive 20" sea containers on Sebastian's trailers?

This would probably be feasible, but this suggestion would be out of place in this thread. You would then have to express or suggest this as an expansion request for your followers in the corresponding thread (click me - I'm a link to the other topic).
Sebastian would "only" have to build another body type which you can change in the workshop or unloaded with F7->3.
Actually a nice idea - let's wait and see what Sebastian thinks of this, after all it's no small thing but a lot of work -_-


This might also be an idea to make Sebastian's mod even more interesting, you could use it more individually and drive 20" containers instead of swap bodies

[Kamikaze500]

great mod. how can i get the custom skin on the owned trailer?
