Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase

Smashing, thanks mate, will put that in tongiht. Other mods though, before or after the ProMods Def package? Seem to be seeing different opinions on it.

Also guessing you aren't using Russian Open Spaces?

Update: http://ets2downloads.com/maps/eaa-normal-map New version of EAA. Should have Base and Mapa inside.
I was before, but forgot the correct load order.

Sound fixes options (window open/closed)
Weather mods (grimes' ones included)
Sound Fixes Pack
Physics mods
Sounds mods (dr holzzz's sound mod etc, other truck mods)

Note: Dr Holzzz's sound pack is ALL the base trucks, as far as I know, and he is still active on the SCS Forums)

Has anyone dabbled in the modding scene for this game? I'm currently working through some tutorials for Blender. Hopefully I can soon customise things in-game. If this works out I might branch to other games.

I find myself not interested in gaming sometimes, so I just sit here staring at the screen. So I thought, why not try something productive?

Great game to dabble with modding. I've been swapping out companies and trailers and road signs so far, pretty straight forward.

Some of the tutorials are pretty woeful (that I've found anyway), been toying with doing my own at some point but don't have the time or the patience. :/

Since you're modding the game, do you mind if I add you to Steam? If I get stuck on something very easy, maybe you could help

Ryan0r · 16 Mar 2017 at 08:41

Of course buddy; same as as Uplay.

There is an italy map out now. Looks quite nice. http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=220796

SilverTongue · 3 Apr 2017 at 19:27

might need to add that, though a little nervous as finally got load order sorted

Digital X · 3 Apr 2017 at 19:30

When 1.27 dropped, I cleaned out my mod folder of everything and had a fresh start. Using RJL's Scania mainly, so many options on his trucks.

What maps have you got? It won't work with TSM as that modifies Italy. But Rusmap, Russian Open Spaces, Southern Region, Australia, EAA and Republic of China should.. be OK.

Just by seeing this thread I have the urge to fire this back up, there is something very relaxing about this daft game

Finally found out how to have multiple button combinations in ETS2/ATS so I've finally got everything mapped to be a controller-only game. By this, I mean having all the buttons available (ABXY and UDLR on DPad) and then have LB+Button, RB+Button, and LB+RB+Button combinations. This has made the game a lot easier (apart from memorising all the new key combos after using the others for 2+ years

)

You can use the game with Tobii Eye or other Eye Trackers. Works pretty nice. I got the G29 wheel, only tested it for a little bit. Seems to work pretty well. Multiplayer is pretty ****, you get crazy people that will just ram you causing huge damage or they lag and ram you. In Singleplayer I got bored eventually. It is a nice game to play every now and then, especially if you stick the radio on. I spent quite some time over the Xmas period on it. Had the snow mod and made everything perrty nice considering we had no snow in the UK... well apart from up north.

If you do have Tobii Eye you can spoof it to work on ATS too, just point it to the ATS .exe, if that doesn't work you can rename the ATS exe to ETS2

I haven't played this for ages and just opened it in Steam to find my existing game appears to have disappeared. I'd got a huge company, lots of trucks and drivers and had spent about 90 hours on it.

It's just asking me to create a new profile when I start.

To say I'm a tad annoyed would be an understatement. I thought these saved games were all stored online so this shouldn't happen.

Digital X · 19 Aug 2017 at 01:05

Is your profile and mods in the default location? If it's not in My Documents try this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/227300/discussions/0/648817378385203368/ I had the same issue.

90 hours eh?

I love playing ETS and ATS , and even more so that I have a wheel , shifter and pedals too, game is worth every penny

Digital X · 19 Aug 2017 at 01:19

1.28 is out now btw. Doubles and triples galore! Although some mod has gone wonky, and my quick job trucks and trailers have a purple shine to them..

Feek · 19 Aug 2017 at 01:25

That was it, I've got a new iMac and although I'd grabbed the Steamapps folder, I'd not got the ETS one. I've done that now and my business is there along with all the old mods, it just crashes to desktop when I try and drive.

Digital X · 19 Aug 2017 at 01:28

In the mod manager, any red exclamation marks? Those have to go. Promods will not work for one. Red exclamation= not compatible.

Feek · 19 Aug 2017 at 01:45

OK, made it work by disabling the mods.

There weren't any with exclamation marks, just three traffic ones.

It's very pretty at full resolution!

foster grant · 19 Aug 2017 at 11:41

So the italia map is out later this year ?
