Updated tutorial: Added an optional step (definition files extraction) Added information related to license plate coloring and trailer cargo mass Few minor edits

I noticed that a very few times, my game would "alt + tab" itself out (usually less than 10 minutes after I go in multiplayer). Then about roughly an hour or two max, the game would just freeze while the sounds keep playing. Can't "ctrl + shift + esc" or "ctrl + alt + del", my gaming laptop just doesn't want to know s***. Which forces me to keep my power button pressed while I'm at stop in the middle of traffic... And what's really odd, I played in single player and absolutely nothing happened, it just played like a charm like it used to in both sp and mp... It was not happening before until a very few days ago!! I did not install anything except maybe the Teamspeak update. Nothing was showing in game logs when the "freeze" would happen, just a bunch of skoda camera warnings (while I'm driving a truck) and then it just stopped. EDIT: I may have found the source of the freeze, it might be because I was messing with trailer cargo mass (save editing). Since I brought it back to 0 kg, game didn't freeze in mp so far. Crosses fingers... Will mess around stuff to see if it's definitely the cause of it.

As for now, I figured out the magic behind the hex color codes for license plates. Here's an example: <color value=FF008F31> That should yield a green similar to the Scout car (Skoda) logo. The eight characters are divided in four, two per value. So it'll go as Alpha value, Blue value, Green value and Red value. For some reason, I don't know why Red and Blue are swapped, but it's tested and working! For a full red, it should be FF0000FF, green should be FF00FF00 and blue FFFF0000.

As the rules for this month's edition has changed, going to post this. Oh look! A penny!

For common painted trailers, or company skins, please refer to Forerunner's mods. For more specific custom trailers, I can always create them on request. I've made a little website which will be expanded in the future.

Do you still have issues with game crashing? I wonder if anything would show up in the game log from ETS2. I doubt it, but you can still give it a try and paste it on pastebin. Then you can share the link here for us to investigate.

People... In simple words, he's just asking that us, forum users, should be informed about how things work, protocols, how admins select reports and appeals. People keep asking stuff like why reports haven't been accepted, how long will it take. We all understand that each TMP staff member have a life outside this. They also want to enjoy playing games too. But if this sort of request doesn't get accepted, you guys can still watch admin duty streams/videos...

Yes it's against the "mod guidelines", but things can change, rules can change. It's not like a mandatory rule like no ramming. I'd really like to see what exactly caused issues to the server. Was it DLC metallic paints? Was it also regular metallic? I wonder if the issue was too hard for the developers to fix and that they simply decided to forbid the use of paints from a different vehicle. Anyways, I guess it would need a lot of reactions from the community to actually make a difference... at the exception of a few things.

Metallic paint from the base game shouldn't be a problem. So again, why not making an exception for that, but still kick for using Metallic from DLC? Despite it's not often requested, it would make some people happy. That would be the cherry on top of a cupcake.

@Lorena I already follow the suggested format. The name is in Title, the description is second paragraph, why it should be added is in third paragraph, and picture is obvious... And yeah it's a shame there's not a whole lot of people who would like it... And sorry I will not make a mod that will not be supported in multiplayer. I just hate when there's some restrictions, but I understand that people could abuse it on cars.

Ahh there it is... I posted a suggestion without realizing that it has been suggested. I do want Metallic paint jobs on trailers, not just plain matte colors. No clue if this is declined or if it'll ever be considered to be added...

Mods that will add custom paint jobs to the game are not allowed on Multiplayer. Using paint jobs provided by the game on the appropriate vehicle (truck skin on truck, trailer skin on trailer) is totally fine. Sometimes SCS will add new skin DLC that will not be supported immediately.

This is a special request of mine and my friend told me I should suggest it here. I'd like that support is added for truck's metallic paint job applied on painted trailers. Yes it would only be available via mods or save editing, but I don't see why it would hurt anyone to use that. At the moment, the server would kick me for invalid paint job accessory. Why? Well why not? I love save editing and showing off some of my work. I mean look at that...

Ce tutoriel a été fait il y a plusieurs mois. Je peux créer des remorques, voir même des camions personalisées sur demande. Je ne fais que des mods compatible sur le multi par contre.

What happens if an admin is your friend? I have four of them on my Steam... Perhaps they would stay red lol. I almost forgot, they don't show in tab when they are in admin mode.

Sadly, the AFK timer is set to 10 minutes exactly (yes I tested it). If you're not moving, or typing in the chat/using commands, the timer will run. For your profile, try loading a previous save from before you were configuring your new truck. The last auto save might have got corrupted.

It can't be remapped. No clue where you got that information from, I would rely on staff from TMP for anything that has to do with multiplayer mod.

It should technically work... I even made a mod that puts a 730 HP Scania engine in a MAN TGX truck (sounds included). I'm not sure why it would revert back. Did you modify the auto save file or the other one? The game will load the last auto save by default.

Might be easy to see my truck. But optionally, can you find my trailer?

Any paint jobs provided by the original game will work in multiplayer @IGSApex. Custom skins created by other players will not work though.

It seems stupid, but did you turn your computer off and on again? Then what happens if you wait a few minutes? Have you tried running the launcher directly from TruckersMP in the Program Files?

The NCZ is there and still is. Maybe you didn't notice it.

I've tried it, it will only load one of them, so that's pointless. Yes, it is possible to do it. I believe that you are looking for "coinsurance_fixed" and "accident_severity". The former is how much the insurance will pay or something. Regrettably, I believe those values will change in-game according to your driving behavior (wrecks, hits). So there's no point of changing those unless you want to reset it... Thank you guys for asking me questions!
