[OBS] Finnmark Mod - Saltfjellet - Beta - Promods 2.63+64 / ETS2 1.46

[digitalxak]

Those low quality models are generally meant for being far away. Models are labelled "far" in the model list, similar to what "billboards" are.

Will get this map addon loaded with my map combo, how did you extend from Promods? Did you need permission?

[psychoszoku]

The sounds on that add on are amazing!

Well, don't know your map combo...I assume it will load as long as you have promods. If you do not have promods, it won't work.

Other users had success with the initial build by placing it above ProMods and below the road connectors to other mods as RUS map / ROextended etc. But generally I would recommend to try out the bug fix experimental build since that should create less isssues (I just haven't had enough feedback yet).


As for the permission - I did ask if distributing such a mod was an issue before distributing it

[digitalxak]

I meant I will get it loaded, it works fine. I wasn't asking how. My apologies, just poor wording on my part.

I get this error in gamelog, I only run this addon and Promods for the maps, do you know if it makes some impact in the game?

Code: Select all

00:00:13.011 : Loading company cargo data ....
00:00:13.023 : <ERROR> [unit] File '<C:/Users/Admin/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod/promods-map-v251.scs | >/def/company/bhv.sui', line 2:
00:00:13.023 : <ERROR> Included at '<C:/Users/Admin/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod/finnmark_v1610744442.scs | >/def/company.varanger.sii', line 10:
00:00:13.023 : <ERROR> [unit] The unit name 'company.permanent.bhv' is already taken by an existing unit (of type 'company_permanent').
00:00:13.023 : <ERROR> load_filtered_unit_array() - Failed to load units from file (/def/company.varanger.sii)

[some-thing]

So in this particular instance this error should not 'cause any bugs (at least I have not encountered any). But it generally could do so.
The company.varanger.sii file contains a list of company profiles to include. That file basically tells the game engine which trailer look to use and the name of the company when creating a job. Now as I am using a subset of the companies that ProMods are using, all the companies that the Finnmark Mod comes with are already defined in the ProMods definitions. So when loading the game, the game correctly realizes, that the companies have already been defined and aborts the loading of all the companies in that file. If you want to get rid of that error, you can either download the "experimental" build on the OP which comes without that file, or you can manually delete that file in the scs archive.

Are there any more plans on this mod? Would be cool to have a google maps map showing finished cities and planned cities/roads. A dirt road from the border of Norway/Russia to Grense Jakobselv and a road from Vardø to Hamnigsberg would be cool IMO

Look, I am working largely without any plan. At the moment I am working on something related to that mod. Let's see where it ends up. Can't really tell since I don't really know that myself...

A dirt road from the border of Norway/Russia to Grense Jakobselv

Dunno in which topic it was Barents Sea/Northern Scandinavia or whatever the Finnmark belongs to these days. Anyway, that road was included as "maybe" in one of those topics... Pretty sure it was the Barents Sea Extension thread....

and a road from Vardø to Hamnigsberg would be cool IMO

We are talking of the same Hamingberg - the one on Varangerhalvøya at the end of that road that is closed in winter. Yeah, I agree, such a road would be really cool. Why don't you drive there

[some-thing]

I have been able to make some progress. Actually, I feel confident enough about the current state of the union - erm - kingdom, that I decided to share some screenshots with you.

Please ignore the non-Norwegian road markings, they're just a reminder for me personally that I still have to check a couple of things at said locations

The new part features some quite desolate areas..


as well as some small coastal towns...


With that being said, some people might have a very good idea of what's coming...

I don't have idea where is this, but it's beautiful!
