[gl00ria]

@Avelium Thank you so much, you are so helpful.

Early New year Updates:
- Support for Sounds add-ons (Sounds to be Found on CIP's Discord Channel, while the load order can be found on the 1st post above)
- Added cover image instead of the blank boring one.
- Universal file name. Meaning, from now on every update will overwrite the one before. This will prevent the hustle from removing older files from older versions from the mod folder.
- Added Support for Brazilian Traffic pack (v5.2.7)
- Added Support for Motorcycle Traffic pack (v6.5.14)
- High beam support, from now on you shall respect drivers on the opposite lane, otherwise you will go blind when they flash the headlight . (Credits: Avelium for revealing the secret)
- Request a support for a traffic pack, please share a download link


Have Fun!!!

Help wanted:

anyone knows the (scania.jp) comes from which traffic pack?

The below is from the game log, but the game doesn't crash. The Truck won't spawn instead.

Code: Select all

00:01:29.960 : <ERROR> [fs] Failed to open file '/def/vehicle/truck/scania.jp/accessory/trlr_cables/stock.sii' in the read_only mode.
00:01:29.960 : <ERROR> [fs] Failed to open file '/def/vehicle/truck/scania.jp/accessory/trlr_cables/stock.sii' in the read_only mode.
00:01:29.960 : <ERROR> load_unit() - Failed to open file (/def/vehicle/truck/scania.jp/accessory/trlr_cables/stock.sii)

The above is an error from my end while editing the files for Better Flares

There is something that confuses me, while using it with CIP sounds, do I download only the BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_SOUNDS_For_ETS2_Painted_Truck_Traffic_by_Jazzycat_v18.7.5 or do I need to download both BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_SOUNDS_For_ETS2_Painted_Truck_Traffic_by_Jazzycat_v18.7.5 and BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_painted_truck_traffic_pack_by_Jazzycat?

@Spontini

this one (BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_SOUNDS_For_ETS2_Painted_Truck_Traffic_by_Jazzycat_v18.7.5) from CIP's discord channel, they add the new sounds only for that specific version.

this one (BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_painted_truck_traffic_pack_by_Jazzycat) from here, doesn't contain CIP's sound it is built against the newest version of that said pack which is (V18.7.11).

you can use only one, or both. The one with sound contains less vehicles and the one here contains the newly added vehicles & fixes.

my suggestion is to use both with the following load order:
---------TOP Load Manager-------------

BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_SOUNDS_For_ETS2_Painted_Truck_Traffic_by_Jazzycat_v18.7.5
BetterFlaresAddon_ETS2_painted_truck_traffic_pack_by_Jazzycat

---------BOTTOM Load Manager-------------

This way you will get the newly added vehicles and fixes with the sound support at the same time.

I removed the version from the file name in order to make it easy to update and replace with each update for the Truckers instead of the need to manually delete the old files from the mod folder.

Update:
- Real AI Spawns For Classic Cars Traffic Pack by Egon to (11.6.10)

This is a great step on your part. I'm tired of this mess with indexes and having to change them myself before installation (not you).
