= Changes & New Features =
== Curve items ==
== Wipers duration+delay format Voice navigation ==
== Timezone sub-areas ==
If point is in given country (decided by map logic by road/prefabs & borders) then all existing rectangle elements are checked for different time zone than country has. First matching area element defines the proper time zone. If no area is found, country time zone is used instead.
== Economy data == New attributes in '''economy_data''' unit that handle emergency refueling:* '''refuel_fuel''' - amount of fuel delivered on single emergency refuel (default 50.0, in litres), service is disabled if driver has more fuel* '''refuel_price_base''' - base flat price of the service (default 150.0)* '''refuel_price_factor''' - base fuel cost multiplier compared to regular diesel price in given country (default 3.0)* '''refuel_time_base''' - base time of emergency refueling delay (default 1800.0, in seconds) == Traffic data == === Parked vehicles/trailers === Parked vehicle/trailer attribute '''allowed_trailer''' is now also interpreted as a trailer chain definition. {{Note|Attribute '''allowed_trailer_count''' is now obsolete, since the trailer count is determined from trailer chain automatically.}} === Spawn density rules === Trailer chain support has been added also to ''spawn density'' traffic rules (''traffic_rules_spawn.sui''). All items beyond the first one in the '''str_params''' attribute are now interpreted as allowed trailer chains. This can be useful for specifying areas in map where custom trailers (custom cargo) are spawned. Example: <pre>traffic_rule_data : traffic_rule.s_train_c2{ name: "Spawn density - cargo train (plane)" rule: "density" str_params[]: "train_cargo" str_params[]: "train_car.trplane_car 1 | train_car.trplane_care 1 | train_car.trplane_car 1 | train_car.trplane_care 1 | train_car.trplane_car 1 | train_car.trplane_care 1" num_params[]: 0.0 # 00:00 num_params[]: 0.015 # frequency num_params[]: 1 # count limit}</pre> === Trailer chains === Supported trailers are now defined at one place: ''in '''traffic_vehicle''' by defining the whole trailer chain'' (previously it was combination of per vehicle/trailer type + per vehicle/trailer)Related attributes in '''traffic_trailer''', '''traffic_vehicle_type''' and '''traffic_trailer_type''' are now obsolete. Partial backward compatibility is provided (more complex trailer configurations may not be created correctly using old attributes) {{Note|Support for wildcards has been removed to avoid the unnecessary complexity.}}{{Tip|If you have used (now obsolete) attribute '''allowed_tractor''', the similar functionality can be achieved by setting '''spawn_ratio: 0.0''' for trailers which have been using it. This way, they won't be chosen for any vehicle unless explicitly set in '''trailer_chains'''.}} Each trailer chain element can be specified either by trailer type name (a random trailer model of that type will be spawned)or directly by traffic trailer unit name. Optionally, for each element, the minimum and maximum count of occurrence can be specified. Elements and counts are separated by '|'. '''Examples:''' <code>trailer_chains[]: "semi_trailer"</code> - the vehicle will have one trailer of type '''semi_trailer''' <code>trailer_chains[]: "traffic_trailer.first | traffic_trailer.middle 2-4 | traffic_trailer.last"</code> - trailer chain with specific elements, 'traffic_trailer.middle' can occur 2-4 times. === Trailer type and storage renaming === Some trailer types and corresponding storages have been renamed by using a more universal ''special'' suffix to better match their usage. They contain trailers which are always selected explicitly, never randomly across the whole storage: * ''traffic_storage_train_car_pass.sii'' → ''traffic_storage_train_car_special.sii''* ''traffic_storage_trailer_parked.sii'' → ''traffic_storage_trailer_special.sii'' == Vehicles data == === Cabin suspension === The cabin is newly connected to the chassis by 4 springs as in real trucks (previously, only one spring was used to simulate the cabin behavior).The spring locations can be seen as yellow crosses when g_colbox is active. The data members in <code>physics.sii</code> '''cabin_pitch_force_scaling_factor''', '''cabin_pitch_damping_factor''', '''cabin_roll_force_scaling_factor''' and '''cabin_roll_damping_factor''' are now obsolete. There are new data members in <code>physics.sii</code>: * '''cabin_suspension_travel''' (float, default 0.05, in meters) - specifies the length of the cabin springs when at rest position with cabin weight on them* '''cabin_suspension_damping_factor''' (float, default 1.0) - relative strength multiplier of the cabin suspension damper* '''cabin_sway_bar_factor''' (float, default 1.0) - relative strength multiplier of the cabin suspension sway bar (which counters relative roll of the cabin)* '''cabin_cog_height_offset''' (float, default 0.5, in meters) - specifies the height difference between the cabin locator and the COG of the cabin (the COG is higher than the locator) {{Note|In addition, the working point of the cabin suspension may be altered with the g_cabin_suspension_stiffness cvar. Its default value (1.0) corresponds to working point at 0.65 (the spring compresses to 65 percent of its length when we put the cabin weight on it). Lower values of the cvar means lower working point, and thus softer springs (g_cabin_suspension_stiffness 0.0 puts the working point at 0.5).}} === Cargo model randomized === If there are stated more than one model of cargo visualization (see '''data_path''' array in '''cargo_model_match''' unit, stored in '''def/cargo/*/''' folders of cargoes for owned trailers) for given trailer, the one used is chosen pseudo-randomly from them. === COG data in chassis accessory === Center of gravity (COG) data has been moved from trailer definition to [[Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory_chassis_data|accessory_chassis_data]]. They are easier to edit, they have less count than trailer definitions and on given chassis cargo is typically loaded in same way. Value logic itself work as before: '''cog_cargo_mass_min''' (float, default 0) and '''cog_cargo_mass_max''' (float, default 20000) sets border limits and '''cog_cargo_offset_min''' (float3, default (0,0,0)) and '''cog_cargo_offset_max''' (float3, default (0,1,0)) set values for interpolation. In addition, default COG is now in center of model based on some trailer geometry analysis regardless of trailer model scene origin. So the longitudinal offset used as workaround should be discarded. === Trailer chassis adjustment data === In unit '''trailer_configuration''' (folders '''def/trailer_owned/*/configurations/''') is new token '''equivalency''' (empty by default).Each non-empty value defines closed set of configurations. Any other configuration with same '''equivalency''' token value is considered as different variant of same trailer(s). By pure logic they should have same cost and level (but its not cross-checked nor forced by game) and any such switch made via trailer adjuster is free. === Dealer UI for modded trucks === Allows all the modded truck brands to be available on one specific UI screen. You have access to this feature after you activate a mod in the Mod Manager that contains a defined truck brand. When a mod like this is detected, a button on the truck dealer world map that will direct you to the this screen. To add a new brand on you mod simply create a directory with the name of your brand in '''/def/vehicle/truck_dealer'''. In this directory you will put your stock truck offer .sii files. For example, for a brand named '''X Brand''', create a directory named "'''xbrand'''" on the mentioned path. Now this directory needs to be populated with valid truck offers, .sii files that contain a vehicle and its accessories. Those accessories and vehicle configurations definitions are stored in a directory in the path '''/def/vehicle/truck'''. For more information on this folder's structure and contents, see the dedicated page: [[Documentation/Engine/Game_data/Player_trucks_definitions|Player trucks definitions]]. It is important to mention if you are creating a new truck definition, the unit [[Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory_truck_data|accessory_truck_data]] should be named using the following convention <code>vehicle.<brand>.<series></code>. So using the example above, if the '''X Brand''''s offers use a new truck definition, the name of the accessory_truck_data in the <code>data.sii</code> should look like this:<code>accessory_truck_data : vehicle.xbrand.t_9000</code> {{Note|At the moment, the UK only truck brands defined in '''/def/vehicle/truck_dealer_uk''' are not supported by this feature.}} Additionally, you can add a brand logo to your own brand dealer on the '''/material/ui/brand_logo''' directory. To achieve this, create a .mat, a .tobj and a .tga logo files with the name of your new brand (aka "'''xbrand'''" here). Using the provided [[Documentation/Tools/Conversion_Tools#Download_.26_Installation|conversion tools]] convert these files and add the resulting conversions to the aforementioned directory. The logo size has to be '''128x64'''. If no brand logo is set, in its place there will be an empty material image. Finally, you can still add modded trucks to the in-game dealers using the same procedure of creating a directory with that said in-game's brand name in the '''/def/vehicle/truck_dealer''' path and populating it with new offers. So if a modder wanted to add new offers to DAF for example, they would have to create a directory named "'''daf'''" in the truck_dealer path of their mod and add their truck offers there. All modded content to the in-game brands will be available in both the modding and the actual brand dealers. === Trailer braces sound === Default value is now set empty. So there is sound only if data explicitly state it. === Transmission mode names ===
Unit '''accessory_transmission_data''' has two new string attributes - '''auto_mode_name''' (default "A") and '''manual_mode_name''' (default "M"). Their value is used in dashboard computer display as transmission mode element (id 1310) if truck display contains one.
=== Wheel collision offsets improved ===
Previously, the wheel collision representation used a hard-coded offset and width, and thus did not always match precisely the visuals. Most wheels should now have their collisions matched by default.
The only wheels requiring special treatment are those with a nonzero offset of the 'middle' of the tire from zero (this may arise for multiple reasons, e.g. for allowing baked (not tire + rim) wheels
to rotate as intended, or for making tires with multiple widths compatible with a single rim/disc accessory).
For such wheels, there is a new parameter in <code>accessory_wheel_data</code> called '''wheel_shift'''. This shift should amount to the difference between the zero of the scene and the zero of the tyre for the collisions to be generated correctly.
{{Note| Another ingredient needed for the collisions to work as intended is ensuring the BB locator is positioned at the outer edge of the tire.}}
=== Wipers duration & delay format ===
In unit [[Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory interior data|'''accessory_interior_data''']] attribute '''wiper_delay''' has been removed. Instead, the new attribute '''wiper_duration_and_delay''' (array of float2) has been added. Each element contains animation length (in seconds) and time delay between animation loops (in seconds) of one active state.
If no '''wiper_duration_and_delay''' is correctly stated it is defaulted to single element float2(2.0, 0.0), which serves as single active state in such case.
