[DISCUSSION] Russian Open Spaces

[Josh0]

I've been having a problem with ETS2 v1.23 / ProMods v2.02 / RusMap v1.63 / ROS v3.0 concerning job prices when there's a ferry involved .... Random jobs using ProMods. Note not-sensible prices for jobs to Akureyri as well as Alakurtti in ROS territory.

The low job price and high price-per-km (for a long-distance job) are usually an indication that the game cannot find a route between the source and destination locations. SCS made some changes to the GPS routing system in ETS2 1.23.x; as a result there were some locations which started failing to produce a GPS planned route. The ProMods team fixed many of the broken routes before releasing ProMods v2.02, but a few were not able to be fixed in time. The known locations in the ProMods 2.02 map (and a description of the problem) are listed here: [2.02] Known jobs that fail GPS route in map. Most of the remaining broken routes in the ProMods 2.02 map are due to a problem with the company prefab. I suspect ROS 3.0 will have some locations with similar issues since ROS 3.0 was released prior to ETS2 1.23.x. I suspect there will be no GPS planned route drawn on the map when you select one of these jobs in the job market.

With only ProMods 2.02 loaded, I have confirmed there are no failing company locations in Akureyri, Iceland. However, when I load ProMods 2.02, RusMap 1.6.3, and ROS 3.0, the TREE-ET company in Akureyri becomes a failing location (I believe this is the John Deere company in your set-up). If I remember correctly, Russian Open Spaces overrides the TREE-ET company prefab from the SCS base, and apparently it is overriding it with a version that is no longer compatible with ETS2 1.23.x. Bottom line, I believe we will have to wait for ROS to be updated to be compatible with ETS2 1.23.x to eliminate the broken routes being caused by the mod. For now the only advice I can offer is to stay away from these jobs which do not produce a GPS planned route.

Thanks for the explanation, Josh0. I'll go explore somewhere else for the time being...

Edit: Weird stuffs - I've got another profile also using ProMods / RusMap / ROS 3.0 and in that one almost all the ROS & Akureyri jobs are priced properly, so I need to investigate further. Colour me baffled

ROS 3.1 for 1.23 & 1.24 has been released:

I have the latest version of ETS, ProMods, and RusMap all happily installed together. I'd used, and enjoyed, ROS before, and want to add it back in.
- is it compatible with the others now?
- what order do I load it in the mods - is it above all the other map mods?

Frachti's very detailed pdfs have made it perfectly clear that the mod is compatible with the same fixes you used before. You will need the snow texture fix that prevents Promods snow texture from deleting ROS' unique snow texture. You may also need a zoom fix in order to see the rest of ROS in map view. As for where it goes, make sure that it goes at the very bottom of your load order if you use it with Project Balkans, Promods, Rusmap, etc. Pretty much every map I use ROS with places it in the bottom of the load order and it works fine. Currently I have the following maps working with little/no errors:

1) Promods 2.03
2) Leo2612's Promods extension version 0.17
3) HixoPL's Promods add-on
4) Project Balkans 2.03
5) PJ Indo Map 1.8
6) R.O.C. map 0.16a
7) P.R.C. map 0.10
8) Rusmap 1.6.3
9) EAA 4.0
10) Russian Open Spaces 3.1
11) Egypt Addon for Promods and MHA 1.0 (fix)
12) South Korea Offroad Map (Version 2.5 I think?)

Many thanks for this, problem solved. Very useful. Cheers

The conflict with weather mods like Piva's or IWR is still present when reaching the arctic climate zones of the map (where there's snow to cut short )
Game crashes unless weather mods are disabled.
I also noticed the Severovinsk bug in the company yard (no auto park and so slippery the truck jackknifes when reversing) is still there.

[Mr Larrington]

I've given up on weather mods...

Could you please send a picture of what is the priority of all your maps to know how to put them on time to start the game?
