Taxicabs AI pack by Egon

[Egon]

Hi @Kurt , please specify - you're seeing taxis outside of cities even now? Btw. LEVC is allowed even outside of London, in other UK cities, however it's much less common and its spawn outside of London is much lower. But in the opposite, in London only LEVC and Addison Lee taxis are allowed.

[Kurt Bernd]

Please don't misunderstand, I haven't tested the new version yet, as I'm very happy with the current one, and the description of the new version regarding taxi cabs not spawning on highways and country roads put me off. Regarding London, I really like how you've implemented it in the new version. I haven't tested it myself, but from your description, it all sounds great.

Would not mind increasing the density a bit more tbh. Thank you for your work.

There is a slightly better way to define taxis to not spawn in certain areas.
Instead of having a fixed list of UK cities for them to spawn in you can use this block of code to keep them out of London:

Code: Select all

	# spawn not in London
	type: city
	str_param[]: "!"
	str_param[]: "london"

This will also allow them to spawn in other UK cities that are not part of the base game, like Iverness and Exeter from the ProMods map, while staying out of London.
The ! in the first parameter is a NOT logic command, meaning any parameters listed after it will be part of the exclusion set.

Other than this small bit of criticism, I've been enjoying your taxis running around in the game so far.

I didn't know about this! That might be very useful Thanks and glad you're enjoying my mod.

@Egon I have version 1.4 of the mod. Can I install version 1.5 on version 1.57? The mod description says this version is only for version 1.58

[Egon]

Hi! Yes you can use it in version 1.57 too, there should not be any issues with it.

I also wanted to add separately that Grants aren't the only cars driving in Russia either. There are also Kia Rio IV, Hyundai Solaris II, Lada Vesta, VW Polo, Skoda Rapid, and, of course, Chinese cars, given the current situation (Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Haval (Jolion), Geely (Coolray), Changan (Alsvin), Omoda (C5)

I heard you already, but as you probably noticed, taxis in the pack are based only on SCS cars (with exception of LEVC). And as SCS doesn't have any of the cars you mentioned, I don't have a plan for any different Russian taxi right now. Thanks for understanding.

That's true, but as taxis (for example, in my city) the Skoda Octavia and Superb models are very popular and can often be seen on the road. I suggest in the future simply taking a ready-made model SCS and simply changing the skin to the same Yandex Go Taxi variant, say, in yellow or plain white. The Fabia can also be used as a taxi, but that's rare.
