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.

If I may ask what's the difference between this one and the older ekeri trailer mod by kast? Use both or only should use one?

Reworked the whole mod. Use one at the time, there might be some conflicts between old and the new.

HI everyone.

Fantastic models as usual by Kast, wouldn't be without them in the game.
Couple of questions if I may.

Is the download version of the mod on the first page here the same as the workshop version?
Reason for asking is I want to use the running fridge sound mod viewtopic.php?f=201&t=299112 and am not able to edit the files as described in that topic while using the workshop version.
I have the ATS version running and really like the fridge sound, reminds me of days gone by when I was on EU work with the fridges we used, not Ekeri unfortunately, mostly SOR we used.

If it is the same version, will I be able to simply drop the downloaded one into my folders and just un-subscribe the workshop one?
Will my current trailer stay the same or would I need to spec and buy it again in game?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi again.

Frustrating to not understand the folder structure for ETS 2 mods, have never had to try to change something before.

As mentioned above, I'm trying to get the running fridge sound mod going here.
In the first post here viewtopic.php?t=299112 it describes modifying the definition file for your trailer chassis where the mass and brace animations are determined.
My issue is, not being familiar with the SCS system, I don't know what files to modify to do this.

I've been searching for almost an hour this morning with no success, any pointers very much appreciated.

In game I'm using the standard 4.0 meter fridge trailer as my choice.

Thank you.

@TomJC
well if you are using the ownable the files to add those required lines to are located in the
def\vehicle\trailer_owned\ekeri.semi\chassis folder

some of the files do have their sounds

Code: Select all

	trailer_brace_up_sound: "/sound/trailer/default/trailer_brace_clunk_only.soundref"
	trailer_brace_down_sound: "/sound/trailer/default/trailer_brace_clunk_only.soundref"
so adding another one, not sure, but replacing the existing ones should work

using those chassifiles, editing and creating a small addon put above main trailermod in modmanager would work

haven't tested...but if you follow DriveSafely's instructions it would work...hopefully 😉

@m1keY
Works perfect, many thanks for your help.

Turns out I was looking in the correct folder, but I got overwhelmed with so many files that I wasn't sure if they all needed changing or not.

Have my fridge running now so all good again.

I love this mod, and every other mods from ekeri
but I got a question, when will you be able to color the trailer? because you can color the truck and you were able to color the old version trailers. But not the new Trailers. Or if any mods exist which let me paint the new trailers, would be great if you provide them to me.
