Better Flares v4.7.3 [ETS2 v1.60] (UPDATED 25.07.2026)

[welshman1882]

Hi I have heard good things about this mod, but I have a quick question? I've just downloaded both files but the one has like 12 mod files, is this right or do I only have to activate a couple and if so which ones? Thanks

You can find the load order here on the 1st post:

I think what you're talking about is the **Headlights**, in that case activate only one. The differences also mentioned on the 1st post as a screenshot. Hover the mouse on top of the image to display it.

Better Flares v4.6.4 - Base is mandatory for other addons, the rest are optional. Traffic Addon adds different flare colors to AI vehicles. City Lights Addon changes street lamps colors. Headlights Addon changes headlights pattern and colors, activate one at a time. You can find more information in fist post, there are also pictures under spoilers

P.S. If you are using traffic packs from JazzyCat, TrafficManiac etc then check compatibility addons made by @gl00ria:

Hello,

Can you help a fella here by adding (headlights_truck_b.sui) to your base mod for ATS and ETS2?
File content:

Code: Select all

	headlights_diffuse: (2.59, 2.91, 3.97) # this value's taken from 'headlights_car_b.sui'
	headlights_offset: -0.8
	headlights_pitch: -1.0
	headlights_range: 40.0
	headlights_angle: 80.0
	headlights_aspect: 2
	headlights_mask: "/material/custom/bf_trucklight_mask_traffic.tobj"

What happened is that I thought you have (headlights_truck_b.sui) same as the cars and I built the addons based on that , but turns you don't have that file which resulted into throwing this error

Code: Select all

([fs] Failed to open file '/def/vehicle/ai/headlights_truck_b.sui' in the read_only mode.)

Let me know if you can, otherwise I'll have to rebuild the addons again.

Thank you,

@gl00ria, no problem! I'll add it with the upcoming update

Mod is updated for game version 1.58. Changes:

- Increased size for red and orange blinking lights (on some stop and roadwork signs)
- Updated AI vehicles in Traffic Addon and Improved compatibility with Sound Fixes Pack
- Added "optional" flag to Base mod and Traffic Addon (please use in convoys with caution, I didn't test it)
- Added blue truck headlights for compatibility with @gl00ria Traffic Packs patches

Enjoy! And please let me know if you'll find any issues!

[welshman1882]

You might already beware of this but is there any chance you could update this mod again for 1.58? It's causing a lot of missing pink textures on AI trucks and the odd car.

[gl00ria]

Thank you so much for adding the headlight file and for correcting the value within the file

Mediafire just keeps spamming Opera Browser downloads and will not allow the mod to be downloaded. Can someone post this for ATS and ETS2 in another flocation? sharemods?
