Nevermind :) Just read further and installed a "No Year End" mode and now I can use them! Thanks so much.

Thank you for such a nice mod!
ONE PROBLEM though: I can see these trucks as assets but I can't find to by as actual trucks in the Garage to carry goods. Could you please help?

you were correct, im surprised i had the tpfnet version downloaded
dview  [author] 24 May, 2022 @ 4:52am 
@Papupi, most likely with those symptoms is that you have two versions of the mod loaded and the latest version is not the last loaded. Could it be you have a downloaded version (from transportfever.net)?
If you only use the steam subscribed version I'll need to dig deeper, in that case; Can you provide an stdout file?

hey, it seems i only have a few of the asset variants, things like the flatbeds and custom cargo hold trucks are not available as assets

@dview I had a little go with the AA flatbed (car ambulance) https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786905669
I seem to have managed to do it, by adjusting the trans bits in the current .mdl, so it can be done with minimal adjustment from what you've made, & packaged as a separate mod for use with drive on left mod.
Although that said, it may be just as easy to do bespoke .mdl's from scratch, if you have notes yes please send.

@Jimbo_1977 I assume you're making a script mod, but since you mention including do you make new mdl files? If the 1st then sorry no, not all meshes can be mirrored. If the 2nd you can the needed parts from the RHD version also in others, I can drop you a few notes for that in a DM on transportfever.net if you want.

@dview
Hi, I was intending on including these trucks for the Right hand drive/drive on left side of the road project, but, you have built some (I've not looked at how many) as RHD in the first place, so the drive on left mod, makes the textures reversed, I have been looking through the code of the .mdl (as flatbed) & made it flip in model editor (which means in game will flip the correct way, but doing so changes the colour of your textures, I've found that generally, changing the flip normal and/or the two sided settings fixes this (sometimes) but in this case it just crashes model editor, any suggestions?

@hannebambel002. Nobody reported such to me earlier. At (un-)loading the driver does move, the camera remains where it is, but it should not freeze.
Hope you enjoy the ride still.
