General Mod Questions & Requests.

Of course snow should lie in the Northern sector of California. Where it's already snowing in game now. Snow in South California wouldn't make sense, that's clear.

I got a tool now to unpack the game textures. I will see if there's anything possible. If yes I will try it out...

Give it your best shot. It sounds great. We'll be waiting.

Are you talking about the WDB Extracter that Ivan and others made?
If so you should be able to edit the road textures....if you can find them....
All the textures are scrambled lol, was hard for me to find the wheels.wdb

Please quote whom you are talking to, or about. It makes it easier to follow conversations.

Well, bad news. It's not easy to understand but I'll try to explain.

As some of you already know, I wanted to create a Winter-Modification. But of course it's not that easy like in the Euro Truck Simulator when I created the ETS-Winter-Mod (I already knew that but even though I just wanted to try it out.).
The problem is, that not the whole map can be covered with snow, it wouldn't be realistic. But some textures are used in different parts of the map.
Snow covered elements would appear in desert landscapes and normal elements without snow would appear in snowy landscapes.

So the project is stopped, I'm sorry.
Maybe it's better to leave the virtual California warm and sunny.

I think that the game is better whitout snow, it's unrealistic even in northern cali. We will have snow all the time, even in summer. It's better to mod truck logos and grilles, right?

Thanks for the updated news. It was a nice effort on your part though. I was kind of curious how it would turn out. Maybe you'll come up with some more interesting ideas.

UPDATE QUESTION:

I would like to see a Mod for night cabin views where you can light up the interior cabin lights. Such as over-head lights, and the sleeper lights. Just to add a little something extra. It's not really important, but would look cool.

This would really add to the feel of the game.

In a similar vein, it would be nice to park your truck with the running lights on, but not the headlights.

Also, being able to remove Nick from behind the wheel.



Think about the exterior view that would make:

A rig parked at night next to a warehouse, running lights on, no-one at the wheel, the driver presumably in the sleeper.



Ah, maybe I just wanna make movies or artsy photographs rather than play a game. For as much as I think about changing parts of this game, I actually find it pretty darn good as it is. Maybe that's the problem: When something is so good, you think it's just a little further to go to make it perfect.

Nice work, SoftLab and 1C...but still...still...
