Job Offered Length

[trainguy_modding]

What files should/do I need to edit to make it possible for jobs go cross country more often? I tried looking for a job from Little Rock Arkanasas to Tucumari New Mexico but none came up. Is it even possible to create a mod like this?

Mods, feel free to move this to the appropriate section of the forums. I don't/didn't know where to create this thread.

I don't think it's possible to mod this (short of disabling companies in the middle of the map). Setting your preferred distance as far to the right helps for non WOT jobs, but doesn't guarantee anything.

How would I go about giving this a try? If there's not a way to do this, I can always suggest it in the suggestions.

There is a skill for trip length, maxing that out should get you long haul trips.
you can set your filter for job length, either short to long or long to short trips.

I haven't messed with it, but in the economy_data.sii file there is code for job distance based on skill level. altering these values may get what you're looking for.
##
## Skill job filtering
## Job distance limit (in km of real world)
##
skill_distance[0]: 403.0 # 250 miles
skill_distance[1]: 644.0 # 400 miles
skill_distance[2]: 1047.0 # 650 miles
skill_distance[3]: 1610.0 # 1000 miles
skill_distance[4]: 2575.0 # 1600 miles
skill_distance[5]: 4024.0 # 2500 miles

@BillyBone99 The attributes you listed, wouldn't that just effect xp, or am I misinterpreting it because is has the word "skill" attached to it?

[BillyBone99]

@trainguy_modding as I understand it, there is an xp component attached to it as well as opening up longer trip lengths.

[trainguy_modding]

I'll try it out tomorrow

While your skill affects what you can get, it doesn't really increase the odds of longer jobs appearing.
Also those skill levels you listed are out of date, the longest one is longer than 2500km now.

[BillyBone99]

well, unless they updated it within the last three days that is exactly what is in the economy_data.sii

you probably should learn the difference between Km and Miles, seems how it is 4024 Km (2500 miles)

My bad, misread the units.
