So after having a closer look at 1.47 I noticed a few changes that might cause crashes with some of my trailers as SCS have moved dependant files. Mods that were affects are ones with shadow models for trailers with more or less than 3 axles as well as the dolly models.
All affected mods on Workshop have now been updated for this change. On the bright side this also means all Workshop mods are now also updated to include the MP Mod Optional tag in the manifest.
If you spot any workshop mod on game version 1.46+ that does NOT have the mod optional tag please let me know.
First up those of you not following my Patreon posts; the reason I have been generally quiet the last couple of weeks was due to the passing of a friend. As I’m sure you can understand I wasn’t exactly in the mood to work on mods and keep everyone updated. In fact due to this, 1.47 Beta was the first time I did no beta testing at all since becoming a tester. 😱
But let’s divert this before I go off on a tangent, the intention of this post is to bring to light some changes in 1.47 that will affect modders.
Well I wasn’t really planning on two updates today, but as it turns out I spotted an issue with the mod while I was double checking another mod I am working on.
So I’ve fixed the model bug with the shadows, updated the mod for 1.44 (shop icon) and for 1.45 (mp optional mod) and moved it to the Workshop.
A little later than planned because I was too lazy to make the workshop icons. But after several years of absence the mod returns with a much needed rework and contains the following:
One skin for DAF e6 medium cab. 3 trailer skins for both SCS and my custom trailer Curtain. 1 trailer skin for my custom Double Deck. 2 trailer skins for freight market and AI. AI Mercedes both old and new models. 2 Tipper Skins
With the public release of ETS2 1.46 comes the release of my Gray & Adams Reefer trailer. This trailer has been a long time in the making, mostly due to me taking constant breaks from it.
So anyone following my Patreon or FB Group will know that I am slowly working on a new G&A reefer trailer. During this modelling process I have made some changes to how rear bumpers and the lights on them work.
In the past I have gone with the SCS style of lights + bumper on the same model. But with the G&A Reefer I have decided to make them two separate accessories so you can pick the standard/paint variant of bumper than pick the lights you want separately instead of a huge list of same bumpers with different lights.
Today’s sees a new release along with two updates.
First up we have Alan Glendinning, an older mod that was previously only a truck skin now comes with multiple skins for trucks and owned trailers along with AI traffic.
Over on the Patreon side, Glendinning has had an update to include the trailer skin on Krone & Schwarzmuller, to go along with the already present SCS & my custom trailer mod.
So the custom trailer mod update has finally released and comes with several changes and new features.
First up we have the aero sideskirts for the SDC Aeroliner to go with the Aeroliner rear bumper. While I had these made for a while, I was never really happy with them so never previously released them. I’ve figured what the heck, someone may get use out of them right?
They can be accessed by selecting the aero chassis.
