ProMods 2.31, Trailer & Company Pack 1.20 and Cabin Accessories Pack 1.06 are available!

Posted on October 29, 2018 | by Stummer | 4 Comments

After a lot of time and effort, our map mod and addons are finally ready to be played with Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.32. Those of you who preferred to play with ownable trailers and SCS’s new northern Germany as soon as they were released can now enjoy the 5th anniversary edition of our map.

Each new game version brings different challenges to make our mods compatible. Sometimes it takes just a few days; sometimes, such as in this case, it takes several weeks.

The latest version of ETS2 introduced trailer ownership and accompanying changes to the economy system, so we had to spend a lot of time overhauling all of our companies.

SCS also reworked parts of Germany with their latest update. However, ProMods 2.31 will still include our own version of Germany for compatibility reasons with previous saved games. But work has already started to merge both versions of Germany to get the best of both worlds.

The biggest challenge this time though was the Trailer & Company Pack. On the surface it may seem like not much has changed, but don’t be fooled: trailer ownership and changed economy system meant the addon had to be completely restructured, hence the version number jumping up to 1.20.

With most of the original developers of the TCP being inactive, we reached out to the community for new skin artists. We are hugely grateful to those who came forward and helped complete the work necessary for release. But still, we’re looking for more people who can help with the making of the TCP! If you know how to create high quality textures with Photoshop or some similar software, or if you are familiar with 3D modelling using the SCS Blender Tools, then send LoaderSaints a PM on the forum showing what you are capable of doing. We wish to make some major progress on the TCP again after a while on the backburner – the France and Italy DLC companies still need real-life replacements.

The Cabin Accessories Pack also has been updated to version 1.06. This only is a minor update that fixes a few issues and adds 1.32 compatibility..

Compatibility updates for ETS2 1.30 are available

Posted on December 4, 2017 | by Stummer | Leave a Comment

Shortly after the official release of Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.30 we can provide you with the compatibility updates of our mods: Cabin Accessory Pack, Trailer & Company Pack and of course the ProMods Map itself.

We also prepared the map to be compatible with the upcoming Italy DLC by SCS. By removing the colliding parts of our version of Italy, you can use this ProMods version with and without the Italy DLC. If you own garages in Genova, Parma, Vicenza, Modena, Bologna, Firenze and Livorno, please sell them before updating ProMods to avoid crashing your profile. Trieste will still be included in this version.

For this release we had to manually replace over 4000 traffic signs as some new traffic rules were implemented. Each country should now have the highway traffic rule signs for the highways (if any), and the standard traffic rule version for other roads of each country.

But we also improved some parts of the map in Czech Republic, Slovakia, and also rebuilt Scottish motorways like the A90. In exchange for the removed parts in Italy, we added new cities Drammen (NO), Lacq (FR), Orléans (FR) and Ullapool (UK). The cities Reims (FR) and Aberdeen (UK) have been rebuilt for this version.

This is a full map release. So after updating the files in your mod folder, ensure to delete our previous ProMods map files. The Italy DLC is compatible but not required.

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.
