Custom, Updates & Plans

Mail Company: Poll

Leave a comment

Some time ago I made myself a UK Mail Mod which I called UK Postal Service Group which replaces Trameri in game.

It essentially uses a bunch of stand alone trailers with liveries of mail related groups.

So far the companies I have on it are

APC Overnight
City Link
Delivered.Net
DHL
DHL Frozen
DPD
FedEx
Hermes
Parcel Force
Royal Mail
TNT
UKMail
UPS
White Arrow
Yodel

So the question is, should I make it a public release? This poll is to gauge the interest in such a mod.

Feel free to reply with any additional mail related companies might make good additions to it should it be released publicly.

Second BSM Update

Additional update for BSM SDC Trailer.

The reason for this update is down to how the SDC Trailer was modelled by Smith Engineering.

There’s several files that the game reads for the trailer, one of these is the plain.dds. Some of the content of this file is also on the company dds and sdc.dds files. For what ever reason, sometimes the game will load the content on the new/company dds and other times it will use the plain.dds file. There is no rhyme or reason as to which it will chose to load, so I have done my best to make sure the content that both files share are the same. This is the last update for the BSMin regards to the SDC skin, how it is now will be how it will remain. It’s a minor issue that relates to the same parts as I mentioned yesterday.

For those of you who updated yesterday, I apologise for the inconvenience of doing so again. Had I realised last night what the issue was, I wouldn’t have released the 1.0.2 updated when I did.

Big Stobart Mod & McIntyre Updates

First up the Big Stobart Mod has been updated to fix a skin error on the SDC trailer. It’s a minor update and most people probably didn’t notice in game. If you really want to see what it is, open the trailer in the Trailer Browser and look at the front. The front skirt and TIR badge were missing.

 

The Wilson McIntyre truck and trailer (Transinet replacement) have also been updated. I have finally got the Monotype Script (Script MT) Font that they use so I have now updated the font on both truck and trailer to use this. I have also created a new Celtic Circle logo that is more accurate to the one they use than the previous one I found via Google Images.

To see a full list of all the things that have been updated please read this post: https://ijsmods.wordpress.com/2014/08/14/mass-mod-update/

I’ve done my best to organise it in an easy to follow way.

Standalone trailers were updated to support new features in 1.12x

Vovlo FH 2012 Lightboxes were updated to make sure there would never be a mod clash with other lightbox mods.

Truck skins were updated for compatibility with other people’s skins. Some are more important than others, so please do read the linked post and update as necessary.

Important Note For Anyone With a Private Mod

If we have ever made you private skins, mods with standalone trailers, or a Volvo with a lightbox it is suggested that you return the mod to us via sa1981spam@gmail.com so we can check compatibility and update them as necessary. We do not keep private mods on my PC, so please be sure to send them in the email if you want us to udpate/check them.
