Better Flares & Sounds (All Traffic Packs) [ETS2] (11-JULY-2026)

[Trelokk]

Alright then. Here's a copy of my game.log.txt right after the latest crash. It happened even during the savegame loading process, before reaching the driver seat.

Crash doesn't occur when removing BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_ai_traffic_pack_by_Jazzycat.scs from load order.

[Madkine]

Out of memory error, can you share the crashlog as well please?

[LATrucker]

Maybe it's the same issue like the one I have with the Jazzycat AI Traffic pack in ATS?
viewtopic.php?p=2129406#p2129406

A friend of mine and I got "Index outside array boundaries: 6 >= 6" errors too. In my case the issue seems to be related to missing .pmd files, because I didn't have any CTDs since I added them to the pack:

@Trelokk
1. Please share your "crashlog" with @Madkine, might help the devs with something else.

2.

Currently I'm running all BF addons except for AI Traffic and I can drive around for hours without any sort of issue. Otherwise it wouldn't take 5min before a crash.

You are using (BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_Real_ai_spawns_addon_for_Jazzy.scs) with (Real_ai_spawns_addon_for_Jazzy_21.8.12A.scs), this Better Flares Addon is EPERMINTAL unless you followed Egon's section on the First Post on how to make it work.
I will remove the support for this one in the next update.
For now, remove them I don't use them myself and because it also overrides the Traffic Addon made for the SCS vehicles by Avelium.

You have other "Outdated", "unmaintained" mods :
Use these mods from the Steam Workshop in order to get the updates, the mirror mod is abounded since 2021 and causes crashes,, the Air Seat is also abounded since game v1.56 unless you maintain these personal mods yourself.


@LATrucker
I still cannot re-produce the error after playing for 2 hours right after our latest discussion. Worth to mention that none of the addons has the .pmd file included, yet you use a couple of them with no issue. I believe its something happened with the game save.

Here's the game crash log as well:

I know you can't reproduce it and that's fine. My comments aren't supposed to offend you

The Jazzycat AI Traffic pack (only the files in the "vehicle/ai" directory) just maybe behaves differently than the other packs, because as you wrote, the other packs are completly fine.
A friend of mine uses the exact same mods and had the same CTDs, that was the reason I tried it out on my PC.

I don't think it's related to the save game, maybe to the cache, yes, but I don't know 100% yet what the real reason is.

As I worte in the other topic: It works when I add the .pmd files of the AI Traffic pack to your addon, so it has to be related to it in some kind of way.
I'll look further into it when I have some sparetime.

None taken,

Its a game at the end, we are here to have fun.

Since it may have drowned in the previous posts: Crash log

The Announcement:
Happy to announce that the "High-Beam" feature's been implemented, with this release I consider all the "TODO's" are "DONE's" and these addons will receive no more add features. However, the updates will continue to be delivered as promised.

Please take a 5 minutes to read the first post for what has been implemented so far and check the "Overview" section to see the final result. Also, please DO READ the "Load Order" section as it's been updated.

Be aware that "REAL AI COUNTRY SPAWNS ADD-ON for Jazzycat" is going to be removed.
Based on Egon's Note:

ATTENTION: This add-on already includes all settings for SCS AI cars. You don't need my other mod, Real SCS AI Spawns, it's together incompatible and gives errors!

The Updated:
Download the addons from the first post:
#JazzyCat (https://www.modland.net/user/jazzycat)
- AI Traffic Pack (v21.8.13)
- Bus Traffic Pack (v18.1.11)
- Motorcycle Traffic pack (v6.5.16)
- Truck Traffic Pack (v9.1.18)

#TrafficManiac (https://www.modland.net/user/trafficman)
- Sport Cars (v12.7.14)
- Tuned Trucks (v7.1.12)


#Egon
- Emergency Traffic Pack By Egon (v1.2.3)

NOTE1: All the Misc addons has been silently updated to include the "High-Beam" feature --> poor planning

NOTE2: The main Better Flares mod hasn't been updated to v1.59, and causes pink textures on a couple of the base game vehicles. No crashes.

KEEP YOUR HIGH BEAM OFF, or you will go blind. Have fun!

[Trelokk]

Just to clarify, out of pure curiosity: The Real Country Spawns BF addon was discontinued because it's not needed? I just want to make sure I'm not going to get some vehicles with vanilla flares, which may look weird.

Otherwise, I will try how the whole setup behaves with Jazzycat's updated AI Traffic mod. Maybe BF also works again with it, even though I'm somewhat sceptical...
