ProMods 2.20 is available

Posted on September 5, 2017 | by Stummer | 2 Comments

The long wait is finally over, the next mega update from us is here! With 65 new cities and 3 new countries this is another huge release and it will bring you hundreds of hours of game time. In this version you will notice a lot of changes during your jobs all across Europe, because not only did we expand the map on its frontiers, we also added and enhanced cities and landscapes in many other places.

We added three new countries for you to visit: Croatia, Serbia and Ireland. Of course with their very own look and atmosphere – including their own police cars. And if you love going north, take a sightseeing trip all the way up to North Cape!

Many changes and additions were also made for the various companies and cargos. We added several missing company skins for the trailers – including the Schwarzmüller DLC. And if you love to haul double trailers, we enabled them in the job markets of Germany, Finland, Spain and the Netherlands.

This is a full map release. So after updating the files in your mod folder, ensure to delete our previous ProMods map files.

ProMods 2.17 – Bugfix Release

Posted on June 21, 2017 | by Stummer | 18 Comments

While we are still working hard on ProMods 2.20 which will once again introduce a wide variety of new landscapes, cities and other infrastructure, some undocumented modifications in the base game resulted in some incompatibilities of our mod and the most current ETS2 version. ProMods 2.17 only fixes reported bugs since the release of the previous version, and no new content.

The flag pole issue in Scandinavia, caused by the Heavy Cargo DLC update, unfortunately was not fixable with a hotfix. And we are still receiving complaints about frequently reported bugs such as the hole on the E4 in Stockholm – which have been fixed in our hotfix release about 8 weeks ago.

It seems to be the best way forward not to issue hotfixes but instead keep on releasing full release packs even for bugfix versions. This means longer downloads on your end, but a lot less support for us. So we can concentrate on fixing bugs existing in the most current mod version and working on upcoming versions.

This is a full map release. So after updating the files in your mod folder, ensure to delete our previous hotfix files.

ProMods 2.16 – Compatibility update for ETS2 1.27 is available now!

Posted on April 16, 2017 | by Stummer | 21 Comments

We are working hard towards ProMods 2.20 which will once again introduce a wide variety of new landscapes and infrastructure into the mod. However, complications due to the situation in Poland mean that its release is some way off yet.

In the meantime, this compatibility update is necessary for the current ProMods map to work with Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.27. It requires all three map DLCs: “Going East!”, “Scandinavia”, and “Vive la France !”. There will be no future versions of the mod that do not require all of these DLCs.

Over 10,000 of our models have been converted to the new format required for ETS2 1.27. Fortunately most of this could be done in batches, but some models required greater attention. At the same time, we are reviewing the models from Poland Rebuilding, some of which are rarely used and poorly optimised so can be removed or replaced. This process will take much longer to complete, but should improve the efficiency of our mod over time.

2.16 also showcases the first of many improvements to the map in Poland. You can enjoy a rebuilt Siedlce and various overhauls of interchanges and delivery points elsewhere.

Furthermore, we highlight some of the smaller bonus changes. We have several rebuilding projects, but as modding techniques progress some improvements can be implemented earlier, before the full rebuild. These “lite” rebuilds generally get rid of pet peeves (like single-lane highway interchanges or old signs and terrain textures) and can be done in a short amount of time. A demonstration of this can be found in Luxembourg and around Prague in the Czech Republic, where 6 single-lane interchanges have been replaced.

You’ll find more tasters of 2.20 in other countries: two roads were extended in Italy, while in France Cherbourg has returned to the mod and Metz has been rebuilt – both with many assets from the “Vive la France !” DLC to fit in with the surrounding mapping style. And as optimisation techniques improve, parts of Manresa and Barcelona have been overhauled to improve performance. Without a complete rebuild these older areas of Spain will never perform as well as those coming in 2.20 and beyond, but we continue to do what we can to reduce lagging.

Finally, thanks to some excellent teamwork we are proud to include AI police cars for all countries introduced by ProMods to complement those added by SCS in ETS2 1.27 for all vanilla countries. This was only possible with Jazzycat’s permission for us to use some of his vehicles, and PirriAND’s permission for us to use his skin for the Andorran police car. Our special thanks go out to them.

We have also released compatibility updates for the ProMods Add-ons “Trailer & Company Pack” and “Cabin Accessories Pack” a few days earlier. Both updates are pure compatibility patches without any new content.
