Better Flares v4.7.1 Beta [ETS2 v1.60] (UPDATED 04.07.2026)

I also swap them depending on the mood

Hi. It's really sad that the game is so lacking in atmospheric and weather effects... it's just a dead world.

I see this error pop up a bunch

Code: Select all

<ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'blue' on model '/model2/lamp/lamp_01_poc.pmd'

If I remember correctly I was just north of Mo i Rana at the time.
Could it be coming from better_flares_v4.6.2_cl?

Yes, these are from City Lights addon v4.6.2. I've basically exported original street lamps models from 1.50 game version. Some of them have since been updated by SCS, so the corresponding models from the addon may be missing a look variant and causing errors.

Hi, first of all, this is a fantastic mod.

I have a question regarding compatibility with convoy mode.

Is the mod itself compatible with convoys?

A friend and I have a small mod list running, and so far we've identified this mod (plus the add-ons by Gl00ria) as incompatible. Now I don't know if this is due to conflicts with other mods like Cip's RTD mod, or if this one simply isn't convoy-ready.

Thanks in advance for your answer. For my solo rides, this mod will remain an integral part of my mod list.

I'm not sure about Avelium's main mod, but I believe it does. Wait for his response to make sure. Apologies, I'm a solo Trucker

As for my addons, they inherit the same settings as the original traffic pack. For example, if JazzyCat's mods are Convoy compatible, then the JazzyCat's Better Flares addons are compatible too.

[Avelium]

I've barely played any Convoys, but from my experience most of graphics and sound mods are optional and can be used by client only. However any mods that affect world map, AI spawn rules and mods adding something to the game (like new trucks) are prone to desynchronization and must be used by all parties in order to work correctly.

So yeah, both server host and players must have Traffic addons. But I've never used them specifically in Convoy mode, so no idea if it actually works

That's how I am most of the time, and everything works perfectly there.

The Jazzycat traffic packs work in convoy. I'll keep experimenting with them with my buddy. Maybe we get it to work.

@Avelium sorry for the tag I think the traffic addon needs updating again now that 1.60 is out got the usual pink traffic but weirdly enough it's not happening in ATS

[Avelium]

@BeastyBill88, yeah I know, no worries! I'll update it in a couple of days

[BeastyBill88]

@Avelium ah no worries, there's no rush for the update I just wasn't sure if you knew or not lol
