[Allow UI mods like Hemil's Route Advisor]

Suggestion Name: I would like to request a possibility to enable Hemil's Route Advisor (SiSL edit) mods for ETS 2 & ATS (or any other similar mods)

Suggestion Description:

I would like to request a possibility to enable Hemil's Route Advisor (SiSL edit) mods for ETS 2 & ATS:
ETS 2 version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=670285471
ATS version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=670285851

And I don't see why any other similar mods should not be allowed

 

Any example images: 

Mod full capability:

 

How I run it:

 

Why should it be added?:

This kind UI is a lot cleaner. For example I have the minimap & mirrors disabled (all configurable incame with standard Route advisor buttons (F3, F5 etc) and only have the information bar at the bottom, giving me a chance to enjoy the GPS in the truck cab without the annoying GPS UI, but still having the essential data, that is around the GPS UI originally still on screen.

 

How this could be done (some brainstorming)?

• Option 1: Get permission from the mod author and ship it with launcher as optional mod (like Winter mod used to be done) as it's quite lightweight
• Option 2 (could help in the future for other interesting mods also that don't break the game and throw off the balance etc): Make a whitelist of mods that won't be disabled by TMP automatically, a list which TMP staff can improve over time
• Option 3 (problably most annoying one): Write something similar of your own

 

PS: I've used this mod for quite some time on ETS 2 & ATS, none of the updates so far have had any issues with the mod (at least I haven't stumbled upon one), works like charm with the release of updates or the author is extremely fast to release the fixes.

 

Yes I know this 

 tells that mod suggestions are usually denied (I totally do get the reasons) however this kind of mod extremely lightweight mod (0.214 MB)

[0.1.7 R2 has been released.]

ok, something seems off here, when playing this release, i keep getting high temp warnings on my cpu......

 

да же случилось со мной, братан, это отставание, когда я войти в любой город

 

Translate :yup same happend to me Bro it's lag when i enter any city

 

Игра стала сильно тормозить. Раньше играл на максимальных настройках. Сейчас даже на средних тормозит сильно. На низкий настройках теперь играю. Что вы изменили в этом обновлении? Я русский, простите мой плохой английский.

 

Translation: The game became very slow. Used to play at maximum settings. Now even on medium fine. At low settings now playing. What have you changed in this update? I'm Russian, sorry for my bad English

 

That is what happens when you add XP support to an application!

[0.1.7 R2 has been released.]

^ Some just can't. It might be possible that their computer is used by their parents which are owners of a business and they need to run a specific old application that doesn't run on a newer OS.

Let's be honest. Then that computer normally isn't also meant for games. If I'd have business delicate data on my computer I won't allow my kid to mess around with it. And even so, most business software has also moved out of XP finally so it's time for them to move on also.

[0.1.7 R2 has been released.]

^ Everyone should be happy when an application/game is compatible with another OS. Don't forget there are still people out there using XP.

They should seriously consider moving on. People like that are limiting development potentials. That's why I have my hats down on the latest games (GTA V, C:S etc) that have chosen to also drop 32bit. Same bottleneck as XP and you can see the change. My computer couldn't run most of the newest games that came out in 32bit even in minimum but does not have any issues with 64bit games like GTA V and Skyline with medium-high settings.

[0.1.7 R2 has been released.]

Sadly, announcements like this are an eyesore. Why?
To make an application XP compatible in this day and age means you will be limiting it's capabilities. I don't see why an normal developer would even consider this choice anymore.

[Microsoft's Windows 10 preview]

I had it as my main OS for few weeks. Loved it and it was surprisingly stable. Performance was very good compared to older Windows (7, 8.1). There were few things that annoyed me, for example it made me made mad that windows+E no longer opens My Computer/This PC but some stupid Home window which frankly sucks.

 

@StuartD I'd say on scale 1-10 it's 8.

[Enable certain map/mods]

Suggestion Name: Enable certain maps/mods
Suggestion Description: As you are making support for Map DLCs, it would be nice if you'd allow some map mods that add new areas (for Example Promods). For example, as a person part of Estonia, I'd love to drive with my friends on our neighboring country (Finland) and at some point even in Estonia, since I imagine our countries won't be added by SCS in the near time, if ever at all.

Why should it be added?: It does not give any advantage over other players. Yes, it my not have non-collision areas etc, but it gives more areas to explore and enjoy.

 

I'm sorry if the communitiy and staff does not agree, but this is just my idea.
