Vehicle Data
=== Accessories ===
All core vehicle accessories have new attribute '''sounds'''. It is string array and each item has format of "''sound_name|sound_path'sound_event_name|'". Sound path/could be defined by one of three ways:* Empty string or "-" means no sound is played. Also if the item is missing in the array at all no sample will be played for given sound.* Path to/soundref/or/event in bank("''bank_path#event_name''") which directly specifies eventsample. Advantage of this direct approach is simplicity and readability.* Path to sound reference file ("''*.soundref''") file where path to bank and sound event is written. Most of the sounds events are former attributes of old This indirection supports easier modding if you only need link another sound without actually touching sound accessory. For detailed info about all events in each accessory see their lists belowbanks.
== Vehicle Data ==Most of the sounds events are former attributes of old sound accessory. For detailed info about all sounds and their names in each accessory see their lists below.
In our data, the basic mechanism is that accessories of given type share "''sound.sui''" file that contains mentioned '''sounds''' array. In array are links to shared soundrefs or to unique soundrefs, and in them are names of specific banks and events. This can be modded by many ways and on many levels. First, you can directly change the accessory file (eg make own sound set for the given accessory). Or you can change content of shared "''sound.sui''" (eg to change all sound for given accessory group without actually touching the accessory itself which will make mod more compatible with future updates). Or you can mod a single sound just by modifying its soundref (both shared or unique sounds). Or you can change sample in bank. == Vehicle Models & Data == === Accessory models === Accessory models for exterior and interior got support for special parts, that will be switched on/off depending on their functionality. This parts are:* '''electrics''' - part will be switched on when truck electrics is on, otherwise off* '''park_light''' - part will be switched on when parking lights are on, otherwise off* '''left_blink''' - part will be switched on when left blinker is on, otherwise off* Light '''right_blink''' - part will be switched on vehicles .. TBAwhen right blinker is on, otherwise off
=== Engine data ===
Arrays '''torque_curve''' and '''secondary_torque_curve''' now support any rpm range. Before there was unintentional hard cap of 3000 rpm which is now gone.
New attribute '''sounds''' in accessory engine data can handle 4 sound events: ''engine'', ''exhaust'', ''start_bad'', and ''turbo''.
=== Transmission data ===
=== Chassis data ===
New attribute '''sounds''' in accessory chassis data can handle 7 sound events: air_brake, air_cutoff, reverse, lift_axle, hook_attach, hook_detach, trailer_cables.
=== Interiror Interior data ===
New attribute '''sounds''' in accessory chassis interior data can handle 21 sound events: air_warning, blinker_off, blinker_on, noise, stick_blinker, stick_blinker_off, stick_engine_brake, stick_hazard_warning, stick_high_beam, stick_light_horn, stick_lights, stick_park_brake, stick_park_brake_off, stick_retarder, stick_wipers, weigh_green, weigh_red, window_click, window_move, wipers_down, wipers_up,.
=== Trailer body data ===
There is new attribute '''empty_cargo_model'''. It is used as virtual cargo every time the trailer is not loaded by another cargo. The purpose is to handle properly all switches, handlers and other parts that are regularly used for cargo mounting.
 
=== Cargo data ===
 
There is new attribute '''oversize''' (boolean, default ''false''). This flag is used by economy for matching pre-defined trailers in freight market and quick job screens. If the flag is true only the trailer tagged as oversize (the ones that contain proper banner and flag accessories) could match. Similarly only non-oversize trailer is used if the attubute is set false.
 
Old attribute '''overweight''' now functions only as flag for ignoring country weight limits (player is expected as having special permit to take such cargo).
 
Either of those attributes will force game economy to generate usage of heavy company truck for quick job.
 
=== Trailer data ===
 
Trailer vehicle definition can have attribute '''oversize'''. It is used for matching the cargo in economy generated jobs.
