Assets & General Improvements
Older forum topics regarding development in this area:
----------
This development thread is about all developments that don't fit into any project topic. These improvements have a general nature and influence the map across projects, but don't necessarily involve mapping.
One such technology is the ProMods Lighting System, introduced in version 1.91. In this version, the lighting mod was pretty basic and in some parts it didn't gave the most satisfying results (see AI vehicle lighting, of which a hotfix is available now). For streetlights, there was still a lot of potential to expand on this technology.
Well, today you'll see the first results of these experiments. Instead of one streetlight colour map-wide (may it be white or amber), we now have five different streetlight colours, mixed all over the map. Some colours are more present in certain regions than others. The colours included are:
- Orange
- Amber
- Warm white
- Neutral white
- Cool white
Here are some photos showing off the wide range of colours this technology can offer!
Comments are welcome!
Best,
MandelSoft

Gorgeous! Between this and 1.17's improved day/night cycle, maybe I won't have to micromanage job times so that I sleep through every night.

Wow! That yellow-ish lighting gives such a real feeling to the road! I already love it! Great and awesome work MandelSoft!
I'm sorry to say this, but with this quality.....
TSM, please, get your stuff and leave, you'll never ever get this kind of quality and precision.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
No. 3 forum spammer!

Hahaha! And before this mod I was playing TSM.... But you're right - TSM has no good quality...Volleybal4life wrote:TSM, please, get your stuff and leave, you'll never ever get this kind of quality and precision.
ProMods → Quality over quantity
TSM → Quantity over quality..
Mom says to son.
Hey son - can you go to the shop and buy the milk, if they have eggs - buy six.
Sure.
Son goes to the shop and buys six packs of milk and goes back home.
Why did you buy six packs of milk?
Because - they had eggs. And you told me to buy six - if they had eggs.

The only thing about TSM is it has a good size map, but with ProMods slowly catching up and the dramatic quality improvement over SCS's original work there is really no need for TSM anymore. I mean, copy pasting Switzerland into Tunisia? Really guys? How lazy are you?

Impressive stuff. This gives me a chance to see the crazy AI traffic at night.
Yeah, TSM was the first map mod I downloaded when I got the game. It covers much more land, but it's far less detailed. Was very disappointed with the Mediterranean coast, plus that whole extension to Africa bothered me a lot (it's Euro Truck Simulator 2, after all). Got ProMods soon after, and I am happy I made that change. It gets better and better with time, and this new lighting system is just a proof of how amazing this mod is. I might start to drive by night, from now on.AssassinLV wrote:Volleybal4life wrote:TSM, please, get your stuff and leave, you'll never ever get this kind of quality and precision.

I like the idea of this topic
Looking really good so far. The streetlights on one of the roads I built had amber lighting.
