The story behind the project... Concept of the scoreboard. Project started pretty simple - I was 16 years old guy who wanted to create multiplayer mod for a game with huge potential. Before ETS2 release I was looking at the ETS 1 and GTS binaries to investigate how to implement multiplayer however without any sensible results. I've created ETS2MP project 1 or 2 days after release of ETS2 - started it not from codding (sounds crazy isn't it?) but from creating fanpage on Facebook - it allowed me to gather huge community - the likes were increasing every day by a numbers from 10 to 100. First part of development was not fruitful enough as there were many unknowns I faced. (In the spare time there were few developers joining and leaving team - no one had enough knowledge and time to spend on creating mod). In August 2013 mwl4 joined the forces of development team and we have pushed the core code a little bit forward - mwl4 and his knowledge of prism3d engine build was definitely something that was needed for the project to success - I was never touching mods and the general data structure in prism3d so my knowledge was limited to that what i found in binaries (I used to create mods for R*-games (GTA:SA etc) not SCS one). After sometime we decided to use movers to spawn the trucks instead of trying to use normal vehicles - mwl4 created a map with placed few white scanias (2-3 - I don't really remember) and we decided to synchronize them somehow. The problem was that it was not really good solution and we had to build the trucks model-by-model also the scene structure in prism3d did not allowed us to simply update the position and update the placements used by fustrum culling so the trucks were disappearing when they were too far from spawn point. In the meantime we decided to use the same technique and try it in German Truck Simulator (video) - it worked however trucks in mirrors had exactly the same problem as the trucks in normal viewport in ETS2 - it was just experiment and we didn't thought about releasing it to public. Then I decided to start implementing spawning of the vehicle the same way as local truck is spawned - after few weeks of work without any result we decided to ask for a little tips someone from SCS - the person we wrote to was not a CEO but the programmer - Komat - after some messages we finally managed to spawn trucks. (Unfortunately I don't have any access to old forum [if it still exists] - there was nice post showing the colorful trucks that were spawned next to my truck). After that we had trucks spawned so we decided to finally write the networking part - chat, synchronization and many others. Few videos later - people asked us - what about the cargo - where are trailers? So I decided to finally implement spawning of trailers. It was not hard as the code of spawning trailers and trucks is nearly the same (some things are different however I'm not going to write it here in detail). A little screenshots from spawning trailers (3rd January 2014): However between spawning of the trailers and implementing the network code for them we decided to drive some more fancy trucks instead of grey DAF XFs so we synchronized accessories of the trucks. (29th January 2014) It was a great milestone in the project. We were able to finally use our own truck configurations of the trucks. Such a great thing. You can notice that there are no shadows for the network trucks on the screenshots (in fact it looks like bad photoshop) - so next step was implementing the shadows for the trucks. (12th February 2014) And just after that we have synchronized trailers: (22nd February 2014) After that we were working on improvements and crash fixes with the closed group of testers. On 25 April we have announced that Open Alpha starts on 1st May. However we decided to publish the mod few hours before 1st of May (I think it was something like 20:00 - 30 April) - the mod was totally unplayable - and it was mostly my mistake as the code to look for the proper streaming zone in server was using huge loop instead of using some smart math - after fixing it the mod was getting more fixes and we finally managed relativly stable version to focus on making next update. After many months of working on the mod in January 2015 I decided to drop the High school. In that time I started talking with SCS Software CEO - Pavel Sebor about eventuall employment in SCS - in March 2015 i went to Prague for the interview - it was successfull so I decided I will leave the project as it was something that definitely will not work (working at SCS and making fan multiplayer mod) on April 7th I started working at SCS and I'm here until now. Who knows what future will bring to me.. . I would like to thank: mwl4 - for his dedication to the project, knowledge and a lot of work, Komat - for very important advices and tips while creating the mod, pcpl2 - for his help and many non-sleppy nights with manually running unstable servers again, I<3VODKA - for many cool conversations, great project management, playing Knights and Merchants and Town Of Salem together, JM - for his bugfixes to my poor PHP code, kat_pw - for his unbelievably great map project + bugfixes for my poor PHP code, Eliximus - for helping me with many things, Yntro - for support, StuartD - for community management and testing, Stefag40 - for testing, Manuel - for a great community management and his meeting point project, Burner - for helping with many things, Biggi Darreugne The rest of the team. Guys - you are amazing! The rest of this story is you :-). Best regards, Eryk "RootKiller" Dwornicki Former Project Leader and Programmer2 points

Suggestion Name: Add 2 more specific options in the Reporting System Suggestion Description: Add "Excessive Edit/Save" and "Wrong Way" Any example images: thanks to @Linkstar for created a example image Why should it be added?: For better and faster report interpretation, "Other" it's so generic. These two options are very recurrent in game. (Sorry for my bad english). Hugs.2 points

+1 I like the addition of more options instead of just ticking 'other'. It also allows IGA's to see what the actual issue is other than just seeing a bunch of reports that they have no idea what is happening.2 points

"Car with trailer" too. Applies to game and reporting system on website. +12 points

In order to do anything we will have to edit your save profile. First we need to make your profile save in a format that can be decrypted. Go to the ETS2 My Documents folder (C:\Users\[Your username]\Documents\EuroTruckSimulator2) and open the config.cfg with notepad. Once you've opened it, press Ctrl + F and search for g_save_format and change the value besides it to "2", as seen below. Now start up your game, sign into your desired profile, and then quit the game, so that it can auto-save in the new format. Step 2: Save Editing For this step you will need to download the save decrypter, which can be downloaded here. Money Cheat Some of this has been copied from a previous guide because most of the steps are the same --- LINK to the other guide --- THIS THREAD IS CURRENTLY GETTING UPDATED SO MORE STUFF WILL BE ADDED How to change name How to unlock all the garages How to remove the police thing How to get free petrol (Possible, dunno if it'll work) XP (If i can find a way) Any other cool things i can see1 point

In this guide I will show you how to change the colour of your license plate's text! WARNING: This won't work if you have an active license plate on World of Trucks. Make sure to remove that before proceeding. Step 1: Setting up your save profile. To do this we will have to edit your save profile. First we need to make your profile save in a format that can be decrypted. Go to the ETS2 My Documents folder: (C:\Users\[Your username]\Documents\EuroTruckSimulator2) and open the config.cfg with Notepad. Once you've opened it, press Ctrl + F and search for g_save_format and change the number to "2", as seen below. Now start the game, sign into your desired profile and then quit the game so that it can auto-save in the new format. Step 2: Save Editing For this step you will need to download the save decrypter from here. Go back into your ETS2 My Documents folder, and open the profiles folder. (Not profiles(1.18.1.3s).bak or something like that. Those are backups the game makes when it updates.) If you look at the "date changed" of the folders there, you'd see your most recently used profile will have the most recent date and time. (If you don't see that, click on "View" at the top of the window and selected "Details" from the list) open that then open the save, followed by the autosave folder. Paste SII_Decrypt.exe here. Before we do any editing, it's best if you make a backup of the game.sii, in case something goes wrong. Once that's done, drag the game.sii over the SII_Decrypt.exe and it will decrypt the save profile. Now, open the game.sii with notepad. The easiest way to find the line we want to edit is to search for you truck's current license plate in the game. Mine is "KE 51 000", so I'll press Ctrl + F and search for that. You should find a line looking something like this: license_plate: "KE 51 000|denmark" Just to make sure it's the correct truck, look at the lines below it, they will tell you what make and model it is. Sometimes if the plates have some sort of coat of arms or sticker on them, the line will look like this: <offset hshift=2><img src=/material/ui/lp/czech/frontb.mat color=FFFFFFFF width=5 height=50> You can just leave it be, or erase it if you don't want to have the sticker on your plate. While you are here you could also change the text and country of the license plate. This is a handy method to get different vanity plates on different trucks, unlike World of Trucks' single vanity plate applied on all of your trucks. "KE 51 000|denmark" Red: Text of plate Blue: Country of plate Note: You can only use countries that are in the game. If you write something like "argentina" it will only crash the game, or give you a blank plate. You also cannot use special symbols like $%&@ etc. Dashes ( - ) are allowed. Now, to the colouring part. To change the color of the text, you must place this between the " and start of the text of the plate: <color value=FF088A85> FF - Transparency - You don't need to touch this, so just leave it there. 08 - Blue channel 8A - Green channel 85 - Red channel NOTE: In comparison to traditional color codes, the blue and red channels are with switched positions. We will fix this later when we pick ourselves a new color. This is how your line should now look: license_plate: "<color value=FF088A85>KE 51 000|denmark" Next, we will go to this website to get the colour code of our desired colour. We will select a colour, then copy the highlighted value: Next, we go back to the game.sii and change the color code, as shown previously. You must keep the "FF" infront (That is the alpha channel for the opacity which needs to stay as it is. Now, the line for the license plate will look like this: Remember, we need to switch the blue and red channels, so the code "00FF26" will become: license_plate: "<color value=FF26FF00>KE 51 000|denmark" Now save the text file and close it. Now when you go into the game, you will see your newly coloured license plate. ENJOY!1 point

Suggestion Name: Virtual 'Dashcam' for report videos Suggestion Description: Since it's possible code such a thing (proof [1] [2]) it would be pretty neat to have a software implemented that constantly records the game while in MP and keeps the last 30 seconds of that recording and in case of a report it appends it. A nice addition would be to mirror the 'Dashcam' view on a virtual interior dashcam like the one from SiSL's Mega Pack. Any example images: Not for now. Why should it be added?: Cause not everyone wants to run a recording software everytime he plays the game just to have good evidence. I would understand if you say this is probably a suggestion that should be made to a modder. In that case i will re-ask for it on the SCS forums. What i was also thinking of is a way to record game actions as a script (like in the Minecraft ReplayMod for example.) That way a report would not use that much bandwith when sending to a admin.1 point

Witaj, ten błąd często pojawia się gdy coś zaczyna dziać się z pamięcią ram. I to od niej bym zaczął szukania problemu. Najlepiej sprawdź czy nie jest zanieczyszczona, lub czy jest odpowiednio włożona. Dalsze kroki to sprawdzenie programami czy wszystko z ramek jest okej. Ale od razu mówię że możemy nie dać rady rozwiązać problemu bo to nie jest problem z multiplayer. Sprawdź również sterowniki do płyty głównej czy są najnowsze1 point

+1 for this as well. Sounds like this could be extremely useful to IGA and the Support team. Thanks to @Linkstar 's example image, It looks like adding two options would not make anything messier or even overcrowded.1 point

Really, @WooQash, thanks for this complement. :-D It's true, @Trucking Australia, I'm reporting "Wrong Way" or "Excessive Edit/Save" with the "Others" option , but the player can "fix" the error before (driving on the right track, or change the vehicles before the administrator see) @Zebulink: No new rules , but new options to direct report for violation of specified rules.1 point

I dont really think its a unfair question to ask. Part of it is him making his own personalized suggestion. It is in the suggestion section and a lot of times the search bar is more of a pain than anything (in my opinion). It is a forum, people should be allowed to ask/suggest freely.1 point
