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.
So yesterday I decided to see if Win11 insider build would install on my old laptop. Considering it’s an old HP with a 5th gen i3, 6gb of mismatched RAM and TPM 1.2 at best I wasn’t expecting much.
Surprisingly it installed just fine. No issues what so ever. So much for MS’s bullshit requirements eh? 🤣
Over the past few days I have been pushing out all my ATS/ETS2 updates on the workshop for 1.40.
Hopefully I haven’t missed anything, if I have do let me know. I won’t list the changes here as they are always listed on the workshop, some packs got new stuff, others just got 1.40 related changes and fixes.
As far as the mods available here go, I don’t plan to start releasing those updates until OB officially ends. That said I already have 25 ready to go and 10 is a WIP state.
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.
So I have decided to dabble with the idea of Patreon and reopening private requests. However there will be some major changes in how I deal with requests compared to how I previously did them.
With Road to the Black Sea releasing today I have some mods to release along side it.
First up PSG, PSG defunct, Allinson, BSM, and ATL have all had updates for bug fixing, trailer tweaking, and paint jobs tweaking.
Also coming later today is the RttBS SCS painted company vans. The mod is already on workshop as private and will go public as soon as the DLC launches.
Added the rear fenders (paint) and painted mirrors. Changed version number to 13.
As an FYI I will be updating all my mods on Workshop once 1.36 for ETS2 goes full public to remove support for 1.34 game versions and older. Truck Parts Pack has already removed 1.34 support.
But on my tombstone when I go, just put 'Death By Rock'n'Roll'
