universetwisters Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This might be a dumb question or whatever, but does anyone know how to open up the car model files from ETS2? I really really wanna put some of them into SFM but I can't open the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sikee Atric Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think you need the modding kit and tools that SCS has released.... Your best bet is to register on the SCS forums and ask there. They are a nice, friendly lot and there are plenty of tutorials as well to help you on your way. http://forum.scssoft.com Sweet Bellic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) So apparently there was an interview about ATS, ETS and whatnot... My Source: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/28996-interview-with-scs-about-ats-ets2-and-more-czech-summary-in-comments-zingcz/ Original source: http://www.zing.cz/special/1588/druha-cast-rozhovoru-s-tvurci-american-truck-simulatoru Now I could just C&P the summary on tuckersmp but I'll see what comes up... Obviously, I'm relying on G Translate here, since the original source is in czech. Summary... - Arizona in progress and apparently they don't have much time to complete it - They, once again, say that the consumer decides how far they go. If money isn't coming in, they won't expand the map. - The translation seems to have gone a bit wonky for this, but they seem to hint that as long as money keeps rolling in, they'll do the rest of the US and expand into Canada and Mexico. - They've got two focuses in terms of short term map expansion. Texas and, to "make Kenworth happy", Washington (Kenworth has a factory in Seattle). This next paragraph has suffered from translator syndrome. It makes little sense, so I wouldn't take this word for word, this is what I'm getting from the paragraph. The paragraph in question: However, we are dealing with, as it nabalíkovat. Again, the more countries will be in the package, the longer we will wait for the package. As we mentioned before, each country's DLC and therefore independent. Over time, we need to sell a package with the countries of the east coast and the other with those in the west. But time is necessary happens that someone buys Florida, for example, and will not have a direct connection with California. And we have to deal with a teleport in terms of getting into the country, where I have no connection, while there was still a player. With that, we can still fight and solve. - Each state is going to be its own independent DLC with bundles becoming available later (E.G. East coast pack). - Teleportation will be used to get you from one state to another if there is no route because of missing DLC. - ATS map scale is 1:38 (we knew that but might as well put it here) - America will "have about 300 cities" - They seem to hint that it will snow in Canada - They want to implement dynamic snow Then the translation sort of screws up again. There's some mention of multiplayer but there's not really anything I can get from it. It says that full featured multiplayer "is still rather future". So... I guess they're hinting at a future multiplayer, but I haven't got a clue. - SCS doesn't want an external studio to handle their engine. - (Translation is a bit iffy) I think they want to do their own port if they do put the game out on console. - Considering the use of smaller vehicles, but it's more of an idea. Sort of progressing with smaller transporting orders, then progressing through the various sizes; 3.5 tonnes, ect... - Coaches are still a thing.

Ai®a©ob®a Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 How do i play online? Do i need to download a 3rd party program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Yeah navigate your way to truckersmp.com there you can download an exe that will add both euro truck 2 mp and American truck simulator mp as well. Bare in mind that with American truck simulator you need to clock up 2 hours of steam game time in order to play.

Uncle Sikee Atric Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Not just that, you now need to run the game in 64 bit mode to use the MP Clients.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 64 bit really shouldn't be something we need to mention, it should be a given, especially when you consider that the client is also used for ATS, which only has official support for 64 bit. However, something that is worth mentioning is that the mod author only supports Windows. There's no OS X version, and there's no official Linux version, but some flavours of linux might be able to run the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Yeah 64 bit is a bit of a mute subject now. The subnautica devs did some research when they were thinking of swapping to 64 bit entirely and it turned out according to steam stats that only 1 percent of users were actually on systems that support 32 bit only.

RogerWho Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 This looks interesting. Some time ago I bought a Humble Bundle with some truck sims but they all looked like from 1995 so I thought they're all the same. Now looking at ETS2 on Youtube this look actually nice. Some time ago I was looking for a realistic driving sim but only found one decent one from Russia, which however runs like sh*t on my PC, only has a small area to drive in and the Russian traffic rules are annoying (those super-long red lights). So I gave up on it and just drive in GT5 when the mood strikes. But I might give this a shot. Is the driving realistic? Does it run well on a lowish spec PC? Are there mods for driving passenger cars? Is there any online DRM or other big brother crap? Lots of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sikee Atric Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Your best source of info for everything is Steam, since you basically need it now to run both ETS2 and ATS. Plus Steam Workshop support is in final Public Beta testing, so all the mods for the game are now being embedded in the Workshop.... For ETS2, the page is http://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/ For ATS, the page is http://store.steampowered.com/app/270880/?snr=1_5_9__300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerWho Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Aha. I was checking out the dev's website and they sell the game outside of Steam, so I thought they either have their own form of DRM or use none. I guess they just sell keys then. Well in that case I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sikee Atric Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Why do some people detest Steam so much? It's only the same as running XBox Live or PSN, it does not make sense.... Actually, with the returns options, it is better than XBox Live and PSN. You can buy Standalone copies of ETS2, but even SCS themselves have admitted everything is going Steam, both in terms of support and future features. The Standalone keys SCS supplies run both Standalone copies and activate a Steam edition too, that is how I got mine, I bought a standalone edition myself. You can find a disc copy, but you'll have to look for it, plus that edition will have a Steam Key in the box as well, but they are rare and support isn't going much further than the next few patches. ATS is Steam only, for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Looks like some news slipped by, nothing amazingly huge. Just them saying that the updates still need some more time in beta and some Arizona screens. The post is from a few days ago anyway, so I can only assume 1.2 and 1.23 are going to be here within a week or so. http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/03/game-updates-need-more-time-in-beta.html I can see those combines being bastards on the road with their huge ass hit boxes.

TheMcSame Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Nah, ATS is also on retail. Retail copies activate through steam. Pretty sure it was mentioned in a blog post, I'll see if I can find it. http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/02/american-truck-simulator-release.html Release platforms/DRM The game is released for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. It will require Valve's Steam platform to install and activate. Whether you buy it directly there, or purchase an activation key from the official game website, find it in a box from a bricks-and-mortar store, or get it from any other digital channel, you will always be getting a Steam key.

Actually, with the returns options, it is better than XBox Live and PSN. I don't want to go more off topic but to answer for myself - it's more bloatware infestation, it's a control freak and it's DRM. It's not just Steam, I won't buy any PC game that requires any online activation, account, ties itself to a particular computer or such. I just checked and I have 421 games on Steam but I haven't installed it since I reinstalled my OS over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 More filler stuff from SCS... http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/04/paccar-technology-center.html In short, PACCAR let them play around with a bunch of trucks. Other than that it's just what you can pick from the article tbh. Nothing that mentions anything specific, but here's the sort of vibes I'm getting from it. "recorded a ton of truck engine sounds, photographed and scanned whatever we could get our hands on..." Explains itself really, they're starting to model more trucks from PACCAR. It also sounds like they plan to replicate the PACCAR Tech Center when they eventually get up to Washington. I believe that was hinted before as well. "We got unlimited access to many trucks with friendly company test drivers revving them and torturing them on the test track" Again, more modeling. Maybe a physics update later down the line? Looking at the pics... Nothing much really... Mostly T680s. There's a T680 Advantage. Maybe just some planned model tweaks or something... But one picture caught my eye... I don't know my American trucks very well... But I'm pretty sure this is a T880. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sikee Atric Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Even though it's filler, at least they keep us informed of their activities and work.... I do like the fact PACCAR let them record all the engines, all the way to red line and back! The two groups must have a good working relationship.

TheMcSame Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Proper news today. http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/04/parallel-game-update.html -Both games should now support Steam workshop. -The ultimate wheel customization should now be available. Some other important tweaks. UI: Traffic offenses can be disabled in game on ETS2 Route advisor popups can be disabled when the RA is hidden Speeding will be highlighted on the RA Vehicles Truck stability improvements during retarder usage Smart cruise control can use the engine brake when no retarder is present (suggests it's for both games, but I'm pretty sure it's already a thing in ATS) ATS: Fixed cruise control locked on by retarder ATS: Multiple positions of engine brake ATS: Keyboard steering improvements ETS2: "Advanced shifting simulation" ETS2: Real shifter layouts for "scania, Volvo, ZF) Map (ATS only) Speed limits polished Speed limit signs enlarged Stop signs removed from traffic light controlled crossroads. Left turn filter lights added to some crossroads Certified scales are now working... I presume it means the scales at service stations. Traffic lights on interstates removed "where possible". Other: AI tweaks ATS: Achievements for Nevada have been added. Sweet Bellic and Ai®a©ob®a 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachbau Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I like the game but the current states are not very interesting to me.

This time it's for ETS 2. http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/04/expanding-road-infrastructure.html The France DLC is making use of a new set of various road types (seems like there's a bit of a translation error there in the post or something. They want to provide a more "lifelike look" and offer "more recognizable locations inspired by real world geography". They've improved the system for horizontal road markings which "is now more flexible so that the road lines can be built in better agreement with the actual country-specific rules." "There is still several solid months of work to put into the new map DLC before we can finally release it".

Not 100% sure if you need to have the cabin DLC though. - Rocket league players will be able to use an ETS2 antenna. http://blog.scssoft.com/2016/04/the-grand-canyon-state.html This one is a bit more fresh, only being posted a few hours ago. - Arizona internal beta testing to start in a few weeks. - Towards the end of the internal testing period, they plan to put it out into the public beta before releasing it.
