Thanks for replying, yes I did encounter a few issues with jazzycat A.I. mods maybe, not really sure. I was using his classic truck mod and his classic car mod, TrafficManiac and jazzycat are the same person and his bus mod to add more busses, which I didn't like and uninstalled it. Used his Truck Traffic mod too, but didn't like it because it does have modern trucks in it.
I see where you added some modded trailers and they were spawning in traffic a lot, some SCS trailers were spawning like lowboys, flatbeds, etc. , but there seems to be a lot of spawned Greyhound buses and the Chevy cargo vans which were parked everywhere.
Crap I forgot to remove the trailer edits from the 1.0 version, they weren't supposed to be there in the first release, Imma fix it asap. About the ai trailer issues, I think I removed some vanilla trailers too when I was figuring out how to work with the sii files and then forgot to tweak it, I need to check that out. I am considering to remove the traffic mod from download until I got it working properly.
Cip's traffic density mod didn't seem like it was effecting the spawn rates, I'm guessing because of your mod and that's no big deal, so I removed it as well.
I think you've got a really good Idea and I don't know what you would recommend for mods to be used with your mods to get the full experience. I'd like to see a police, emergency vehicle add-on, which I know you've mentioned, there are a lot of errors in the console about the F350 and F150, which didn't crash the game by way, other than that I think you've got a winner here, thanks for sharing.
Were those errors related to the random events? I think I left also the road maintenance Ford truck too but I guess it may interfere when random events happen, either the default game ones or modded events.
I'd recommed using it with Jazzycat's Classic Cars AI Traffic Pack, which I think does a great job in that sense. I use an older version of that mod since the latest updates have only added sport cars and I rather the everyday car aspect of the mod. Then I also recommend to use Classic Truck Traffic Pack. I also use the Peterbilt 362 but I do think it spawns too much in traffic.
Idealy this mod should come with an alternative for cop cars and any ai vehicle that the game uses for gameplay purposes like random events. My biggest handicap in modding is that I never got to learn how to work with modeling programs but I really should try to make it myself. A sort of municipal police car mod like mod but with 1980's emergency vehicles. Throw in an Impala, a Ford LTD and a Diplomat (which there are good models of), also convert an utility chevy silverado or F150 truck and then use the cab for creating a
type I ambulance and
a road maintenance truck. I kinda hesitated about releasing the no traffic mod since I feel it is sort of half assed, a quick fix from someone how just manages to do a basic solution for those who don't mind to experience some bugs.
By the way, I didn't see any modern SCS trucks spawning in traffic.
Also I didn't use TrafficManiac's trailer traffic mod because it has modern company logo's that weren't around in 1980 to '89.
It's good to know that it does work for you in that aspect.
