→‎License plate data

= How to convert map =

* For saving the map you need to create ~~```~~'''base_map~~```~~ /map''' folder just aside of game executable exe. ~~Older ```~~Former '''base~~```~~ ''' folder is still used for saving ~~othe~~ other data (eg. weather settingsin '''base/def''').* ~~!! TODO: moved some curbs, which~~ There has been ~~changed~~ changes of some edge models (for ~~better~~ easier and more exact snapping in future !!). If you are using them in your map you need to reposition them to fit new model and fix eventual other errors around. For simplification of the process there are helpers. Extract entire content of the zip file to game executable folder and run the batch file - it will run the fixer exe (modified editor) with proper params. Load your map and fixer automatically offsets those items by proper offsets all over the map. Then check the affected items over the map (complete name list is in the included TXT file), fix whatever you want or need, save the map, and exit the editor. Remove the fixer from the folder. This process should be done ONLY ONCE as repeated run of the fixer would move those items again.* http://download.eurotrucksimulator2.com/ETS2_Terrain_edge_offset_fix.zip [10M, exe+bat+txt files]* http://download.eurotrucksimulator2.com/ATS_Terrain_edge_offset_fix.zip [10M, exe+bat+txt files] You can then continue in regular way.

* Load map

* Do rebuild (F8)

== Editor ==

Editor now saves map sector files into ~~```~~'''base_map~~```~~ ''' folder. All other data (eg weather settings) are still store into ~~```~~'''base~~```~~''' folder.

updated to version 2.01.01 (data update during betas), removed defaults, separate sounds per truck, TBD

Complete sound system documentation is described at [[Documentation/Engine/Sound]].

== Game data ==

* many Many '''SII ''' files (have been renamed to '''SUI''' and vice versa. Why? By definition, '''SII''' files are the ones containing game units~~) that should be~~ and are starting by <code>SiiNUnit</code> mark, while '''SUI ''' files are included or shared part of some other unit and are not starting by any mark. This was generally true for a long time but game itself did not enforced it technically. Game data could include any file. Thus your mods might or might not work based on other conditions (~~includes~~namely file links in other files) ~~renamed, TBD~~now. We unified the naming to this strict format to be better able to automatically test all game data and thus speed up development. We also encourage to change all modded data in same way to prevent errors. == License plate data ==

~~=== License plate~~ There was changed generation of LP slightly. Country-based LP are working exactly same as before: if vehicle type is matched that data ~~===~~set is used, otherwise first data set is used (regular car typically). City-based LPs has been working similarly except there was hardcoded pobability (33%) of using country-based LP instead. Right now city-based LP generation always checks both country and city data for defined vehicle types. If vehicle type is matched data sets are used, but if both country and city type definition exists the decision is based on '''probabilty''' field on city data. As default value is 0.67, it works similarly as before.

* changed generation rules* data-driven Main difference is that if you do not define city LP for some vehicle type, first fallback is to country LP for that vehicle type and only the secondary fallback is the first vehicle type in city LP list. Also you can enforce local LP if desired by setting '''probability''' to 1.0 in city-based LP definitions. As example, this behavior is used in Idaho DLC for emergency vehicles (medical, fire and police).

== Vehicle data ==

There is new animation '''engine_brake_stick_anim'''. It is driven by engine brake user setting (input) from disabled to enabled with maximum intensity (similarly like retarder stick animation).

=== Accessory horn addon data ===

There is new unit type '''accessory_horn_addon'''. Its same as '''accessory_addon''' but in addition it contains attribute '''sound_path''' that could link soundref file or sound bank event directly. It is used for new horn accessories on ETS2 trucks.
