As well as the bulk updates below, the Nestlé pack has also had a major overhaul. All freight market trailers have been remade, now with slightly different configurations. The skins are now all available for my Custom Owned Trailer mod including two Aero skins that are exclusive to OT and not on freight market trailers.
The tanker, which was previously using TZ Rommi’s Schwarzmuller tanker, are now using SCS’s new OT food tanker, there are two skins for it one on chrome and one on painted body. Both for the 3-axle configuration. The full painted one also appears in freight market and AI traffic.
Note: I had to wait on updating Steam mods other wise it would count as a “leak”. I’ll start pushing those through now. Blog mods are already live.
The following mods have been updated for the 1.37 Open Beta build that released when SCS release Open Beta. In most cases the updates are just for 1.37 changes, but there are a few bug fixes and updates. Some mods may have new skins for OT (mostly my custom trailer).
The blog mods are already in my google drive folder ready to be sync’d.
By now some of you will know that SCS pushed out a public beta update on Friday. This public beta includes a couple of changes to Volvo 2012 and Renault Magnum.
From a modding perspective these are good changes, they have made the front grill accessories. I have already made painted grills for both trucks that will be included in my Truck Accessory Pack.
Over the coming days I will be updating the Stobart Truck Skin Pack, to make the skins work with the painted grills. The Malcolm skins and JR Dixon skins are already updated.
What exactly has changed with the Volvo? Previously the SCS Volvo grills were tied to engine type. This is not longer the case. The silver and black grills are now accessories and can be selected in the shop separately from the engine. Only the FH badge will change based on engine type.
The Steam Workshop has had updates for my Truck Parts mod which adds the updated flares I have previewed on my Facebook page. A few under the hood tweaks that you probably won’t notice as well as full removal of the previously disabled R/Streamline front grills that became redundant.
The Custom Trailer mod has also had an update. It has the same flare update as the truck pack, as well as new sequential flares for indicators.
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.
The PSG (& Defunct) pack, Nestle pack, and Children in Need trailer have all been updated to fix multiple issues on the SDC-like trailers and a shadow issue on the CiN trailer.
Tomorrow I will also be updating the SCS AI vans pack to include compatibility for the RttBS DLC. Some companies from the older packs are present in the new DLC so they will be enabled for the appropriate countries in preparation for the DLC release on Thursday.
Tomorrow I will also be starting a new phase of updates for ATL, Allinson, PSG, and Nestle. The trailers currently using “SDC like” shapes will be getting remade using models from my Custom Trailer mod as part of this process the skins will be getting remade, since they will be sharing the same parts the UVmap will be the same for custom OT skins which means I will also be adding OT skins for my custom trailer into the packs.
No time frame for release. When I am happy with them, I will release them.
But on my tombstone when I go, just put 'Death By Rock'n'Roll'
