Marshalls PLC mod has been updated
Updated Cargo Textures for 1.39
Updated trailer wheels (using wrong/old ones)
Updated Volvo 09 vertex paint.
Updated old textures for brick trailer cargo to 1.39
Swapped some small trailer wheels from mods for SCS version.
The new Gutenberg block editor is hideous and shit. I am legit considering dropping WordPress completely and looking else where. But for now the classic editor will do.
More importantly Brooks Bros is now released. It would have been yesterday but I was distracting with flying planes in the new MS Flight Sim. So ner.
Three updates today.
PSG & Defunct pack is now public having been a Patreon Exclusive for a couple of weeks. Updates include a Royal Mail OT skin for both SCS and my custom OT.
Every company in the defunct pack now also has an OT skin available for both SCS and my custom OT mod.
The Red Dwarf flag pack has also been updated to include Range T, and Scania S/R. I’d forgotten they work per truck and not as global hookups.
After a two year absence Lister’s of Halifax has now returned to the site. Fully updated for 1.38.
Previously I mentioned that a vote would be coming up for Patrons, now that all current mods are updated to work with 1.38 I am going to be giving Patrons a chance to vote on what comes next. It might be an update to an existing mod, a reissue of an old mod that has yet to return to the site, or even a brand new mod. As always, Patreon votes will mean whatever is picked will be a Patreon exclusive for a time.
As for everyone else, the last of the mods to be updated are now done. Nestle and Williams also got cargo icons for the cargo market.
A bunch of mods have been updated for 1.38 changes and a couple of fixes. Nothing much to say.
Big thanks to my Patron on Patreon. You’ll be getting a special poll soon. 😁
List below.
Moving forward I probably won’t be announcing on the blog when I update Workshop mods. Those of you who subscribe will know when they update, so I think posting here about them isn’t really necessary. As it stands all ATS/ETS2 mods on Workshop are 1.38 compatible.
As for the site I’ve pushed through a few updates.
So I have decided to dabble with the idea of Patreon, discord, and reopening private requests. However there will be some major changes in how I deal with requests compared to how I previously did them.
First up let’s discuss Discord.
WARNING: Please read and understand the blog – changes made due to FH Tuning means you will lose accessories in the future if you ignore the information in this blog.
So before we get started highlighting changes, I would just like to point out that moving forward I will be using OneDrive over GoogleDrive/Backup and Sync because of changes they made that made caused it to be less user friendly and require additional unnecessary steps just to share links. I would honestly rather pay Microsoft £3 a month for more storage than get 15gb free from Google with this stupid changes. Any issues with downloading please do let me know.
Also note that the content within rar files will also change, those of you who have file extensions visible will notice the mod file is now ZIP and not SCS. This is an intentional change, please do not extract the ZIP or you’ll make a mess of your mod folder.
General changes: In all cases Volvo skins in the packs were made 4k and have changes to support the new FH Tuning DLC.
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally rebuilt Anhalt mod. Aside from issues with textures from 1.36? I was having issues with how the SCS cargo mixed with the cisterns.
As such I have decided to remove the SCS cargo for this trailer and link it to it’s own. Long term that will help me as I don’t need to play around with Blender for more trailers.
So rejoice, Anhalt is now live. Please note this mod is hosted on OneDrive not Google Drive. Any issues downloading let me know.
With my initial Mack update I made the decision to not replace the SCS truck model to remove the Mack badge. However after careful consideration I have made the choice to reverse that decision.
The only real downside to this action is that it will make the mod incompatible with all other mack mods that do the same thing. It wasn’t a choice I made lightly, I don’t normally touch SCS models as a replacement, but I felt it was for the benefit of the mod overall.
Had SCS made the right call and separated it themselves like they should have, none of this would have been an issue. I remain hopeful that they will reconsider in the future. If they ever make a tuning pack they will need to anyway. For something that would take them literally 5 minutes to fix, I am quite disappointed. But it is what it is.
The mod update is live.
