# Download conversion tools for the game you want to create mod: #* Euro Truck Simulator 2ETS2 & ATS: '''[http://download.eurotrucksimulator2.com/conversion_tools_1_8conversion_tools_2_3.zip LINK]#* American Truck Simulator: [http://www.americantrucksimulator(v2.com/modding/conversion_tools_1_8.zip LINK3)]'''
# To install conversion tools binaries simply extract ZIP package into folder somewhere on the PC where it can be found and read-write access is granted.
{{Note|Old conversion tools compatible with ETS2 (up to '''v1.26'''), ATS (up to '''v1.5''') & SCS Blender Tools (up to '''v1.6''') are still available: '''[http://www.americantrucksimulator.com/modding/conversion_tools_1_8.zip LINK]'''.}}
= Usage =
# '''''Use binaries directly (for advanced users)'''''
#: Direct usage of conversion tools is done from command line with execution of "conversion_tools/convert.cmd" script. Running this script will take any mid-format resources founded in "conversion_tools/base" folder, correctly convert them into binary format files and place them into "conversion_tools/rsrc" folder.
#: After completed conversion all the content will be in inside "conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache" folder . To create a mod you can be ZIP-ed "conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache" folder and placed place into the mod folder of the game as usual. In case of "conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt" usage each entry from extra mount will have it's own converted folder entry inside "conversion_tools/rsrc" So to pack a mod you will have to take result from each respective converted folder and put it together in same ZIP file (e.g. extra mount entry "my_mod" will have conversion result in "conversion_tools/rsrc/my_mod/@cache".<blockquote>{{Note|Usage of "conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt" file with specified additional sibling folder paths of "base" folder paths in each line of the file may also be used. This will cause conversion tools to mount all of the paths the same as "conversion_tools/base" folder. With extra mounted directories conversion tools will convert all resources from "base" and all additional paths!}}</blockquote>
<blockquote>{{Note|If something goes wrong during the conversion, you can find additional information in conversion tools log file ("bin/win_x86/mass_convert.log").}}</blockquote>
