The Brand New ModernUI Is Here!
After the new TruckersMP update which changed the UI system on the TAB Menu/Scoreboard/Player List, I have re-designed ModernUI to suit it.
You can find it below. Thanks everyone for using my UI packs, hope you all enjoy the new one .

Hey everyone it's been a while
When I first released ModernUI version 1 back 6 years ago I would've never have expected it to be as popular as it is, and I'd like to thank everyone for using it. Over time I've heard feedback from everyone on and off the forum about it such as adding extra colours and font options, and about having the option to install the UI pack without the .exe installer.
The past few weeks I've been looking into it all and working on a brand new UI pack called AeroUI !
While it took a lot more work to do this due to the limitations of TruckersMP's current UI engine, I have been experimenting with different styles to use, instead of sticking to a flat design. I noticed that Aero design started to become popular again and I thought why not use that in TruckersMP?
Unfortunately because of these limitations I couldn't get anywhere close to the design I wanted which was inspired by things like Windows 7 and generally the aesthetic of the mid-late 2000s. Shown below is the early design of AeroUI, which you can see had its problems.
Realising that a light theme was not going to work due to some text being forced white, I had to come up with a different design altogether, so after another while I finally came up with what we have now. Once I completed the main textures I could move onto colour options, and finding suitable colours was mildly difficult because of the shading and not having it look out of place.
Below you can see all the different options I came up with, I will look at adding more in the future but at the moment there is a decent variety.
And I can finally announce the release of AeroUI, available to download today! The topic in Custom UI Packs is currently pending approval and will hopefully appear soon. This also has no installer and you simply choose what colour you want and if you want a different font you can choose an add-on pack available on the same link.
Once again thank you everyone for using ModernUI, I won't be giving up on ModernUI as I will still update it in the future.
Enjoy!

I find it hilarious that people are now using Sim 2 over Sim 1, exactly how we used to have EU1 and EU2. Its weird because there's more slots on Sim 1 than Sim 2. Meh people gonna people

Because there was a time where one of the servers was weak. So people went to the other server.

ofc SCS just put out a new update the second i was about to launch TMP
-
Those speed bumps on C-D are deadly, got 7% damage on the Skoda from them haha. Well they sure are effective, that junction is really nicely done though, hats off to the team for that.
-
I've just realised, the TMP launcher still has a "Facebook" button yet the TMP Facebook no longer exists.
if only the text was a bit easier to read

I didn’t even realise they where there xD.
-
miss that facebook group
-
I imagine they might update the launcher entirely in the future, just to give it a more modern look and maybe features such as reports.
-
Version 0.2.3.0.0 of TMP has been released but nothing has been said.
I wonder what's changed
-
If u want Winter Physics in ETS2 on MP, the closest thing you can get to it is the standard rain physics in ETS.
Set your rain probability too 100% so it always rains/snows and the roads will be quite slippy, but you wont be sent into orbit or sent to mach 1 speeds.
It's not the greatest but it's decent enough
-
Is it normal for you to drop 10-20fps when a player is near, whether is just one or multiple? Seems to be doing it quite badly now, even with quite a powerful GPU at no matter what resolution or settings it seems to drop fps massively without using anymore than 50% GPU.
Bear in mind i dont have this issue in Singleplayer, or any issues with FPS dropping for that matter -
ModernUI Version 3.0 - Out now, with a much better look to TruckersMP's UI and a further improvement to ModernUI v2.
This also comes with just ONE installer instead of multiple, with all the options and customisation on one page, this also includes custom backgrounds that downloads online, which can be updated at any time without a new installer needed. And a more consistent look between each colours, ModernUI also comes with an experimental light theme for TruckersMP too!
Hope you like it guys!

Apparently Grimes has released an updated version of the physics which solves the issues. Not so sure but according to others, it has actually solved the issue of being flung into the air and the accelerating problem.

That version is better only in terms of braking, makes the road even more slippery and the things go way worse when it starts to snow. His first version of the mod was better in my opinion.
-
Odd... I checked the changes and only 1 line was changed and that reduced the slip for lateral (previously -0.5, now -0.4).
This change increases stability and will increase grip as far as I can tell. Plus in ETS2 when it rains (even without winter mod) the grip is massively worse, so it seems that when it snows the physics being like that is out of our and Grimes' control.
As far as I can tell, it seems a lot better than previously (I havent been sent into orbit yet either) and I prefer it over before as there is slightly more grip and better braking. -
Then I don't know, maybe it reduces effectiveness of brakes, because I had really hard time stopping from low speeds where I wanted using air brakes, even when braking much earlier than without the mod. However reducing my speed with retarder don't seem any different.
Also, do the tyres matter, I'm using Michelin tyres with B rating for wet condition (there isn't better than that)?

Just a PSA about Wintermod Physics:
To be honest as much as winter physics in TMP are cool, they need to be removed as right now they are seriously bugged and if u steer and brake u will LITERALLY fly away (no joke), and if u catch yourself in a slide and brake u will fly away even faster and further to the point where the game will crash.To the TMP devs, please remove the winter physics as it is well, dangerous to be quite honest. Everytime i steer and brake or get in a slide, i will literally fly at 300+ km/h with no hope of stopping, and hoping i dont hit anyone... And yea the advice is to just not install it for TMP but even then, there will be people who will get it not realise how buggy it is, it's almost cyberpunk level buggy...

That's true. However, this only happens if you go really fast making a full brake and steering at the same time.
Usually, this wouldn't happen when driving careful. I have never experienced that bug on the Simulation servers as I'm trying not to slip anyway.
What I'm basically saiyng is that it can be easily avoided when driving careful with the physics. -
Actually steer and brake same times is issue since 1.37 and it's not caused by winter physics, I have experienced it lots of times.
-
Yea, wintermod just amplifies it like mad. At most before u just tipped over and rolled a few times, this you get sent to mars...

Those who want a Christmas UI pack for TruckersMP, here's the brand new ModernUI Christmas Edition! Hope you enjoy, especially those who are celebrating early for whatever reason

Just a warning to others, don't turn on the built-in music player or radio, this also affects Singleplayer. There's an issue where the game will crash (sometimes not generating a "game.crash.txt" file), but in the 'game.crash.txt' file it shows fmod.dll as the issue, but it only occurs when the music player is on or radio is playing.
For now, if u wanna listen to music without any issues I'd recommend using Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music or VLC for now, for radio you could use the radio's own player or Tunein Radio as a temporary solution I suppose... Quite annoying but hopefully SCS will fix it.
My game.crash.txt for those interested on what the issue looks like. Also the game.log.txt will not show anything about the crash as it closes the game before it can generate a log.
