Suggestion Name: Customizable Beacon Light Options for Trucks Suggestion Description: Add a feature in the player panel that lets us customize the timing, frequency, and style of our beacon lights. It would give players a way to personalize their trucks a bit more. There could be a limit on how fast the lights can flash to keep things running smoothly, like a minimum interval of 50ms between flashes. Any Example Images: (I have sent the AI-generated image below. BUT IT IS NOT ABSOLUTE NEED TO BE LIKE THIS, It's just a reference.) The Problem: Right now, beacon lights all flash at the same rate, and when there are a lot of trucks in one area, it can hit FPS hard and make the game feel less smooth. This can be frustrating for players, especially in high traffic zones where everyone’s lights are flashing at the same time. If we had some control over the timing and style of our beacon lights, it’d let us add a unique touch to our trucks without bogging down FPS. A cooldown on how fast they flash would keep things stable, so everyone’s game runs better. Why it should be added: This small change could make a big difference in personalizing trucks, letting players express themselves a bit more without causing extra lag. It would add to the fun and immersion of the game while keeping gameplay smooth, even in busy areas.

Suggestion Name: Beacon Script - Enforcing Rule Suggestion Description: Just a basic script that turns off beacons if there is a certain amount of playing in a radius. Any example images: Nope Why should it be added?: I think this should be added because many people still use beacons in high populated area's which is against the rules which also causes lag for other players. How I think this would work, is by a script detecting the amount of players in a radius (same type of the tab player list) and when it gets over and certain number, it turns off the beacons to reduce lag and to also keep the player from getting kicked/banned. I would think that the number 30 would be great for the script to turn the beacons off, the number is not too low or not too high, just perfect Not only that this is reducing lag, it also enforces the rule. If you wish, you can make it so in the TruckersMP Launcher settings, there can be a part so you can turn the script on or off because most people like to have beacons on and sometimes the script may turn off the beacons even tho there is not one near you but still saying a high number on the player list from a convoy far away. Another good idea adding to this idea is that it will put a message on your screen saying that the beacons have been disabled. For Example: "[CONSOLE] Beacons Turned Off Because Amount Of Players!" I do hope this idea gets into ETS2MP because it will help many people (hopefully) I have used the search option, nothing came up for the term *beacons* which is to do of what I said above I'm not good with idea's but this could actually be a good one

New Admin Vehicle Costumization Options: Suggestion Description: Hello Everyone. I got a new suggestion to make regarding the paintjobs that admins could use in truckersmp. I spoke to some admins and we came to a conclusion that some of them still prefer trucks over cars. So how could we solve this. First of all i would like to propose on an idea we came up with. As many of truckersmp players know. There is a paintjob specificly used by admins with blue lights ofcourse. So my question is: Why not add a police skin for trucks that are already available in steam workshop? (i am aware that the skins would have to be modified.) Thats what i would like to suggest. Also i suggest that blue light beacons would be added to the trucks. And even Police trailers skins should be available for the admins to use. i would like to suggest that they should be reflective aswell. Any Example Images? Pictures are unavailable atm. Why Should This Be Added? So why should this be implemented. Well it would give admins more choices of ,,patrolling" i believe it could make the game more realistic (because police trucks already exist to carry equipment etc.) Also from my point of view its always nice to see something different than cars and if the skins are going to look nice and it will allow the administrators drive and finish jobs. I dont see anything negative than adding work to the addon team. So what other advantages does it have then improving realism. Well it adds more options for admins which means more freedom of choice. I will be happy to find out your opinions and ideas/suggestions. And also ill be happy to know if its possible to make or not. Thank you for reading this. And i want to wish you a nice day. Sincerly, Matthew P. / TheGoodGuy1515

Suggestion name: Add an auto-kick system for people who has turned on their beacons at busy zones Suggestion description: The system could work like this: when a player that it's in a +25 players zone has their beacon activated, the system will give a message telling him: "You're in a busy zone, please turn off your beacon or you will be kicked in 10...9...8". It's similar to the lights system. Any example images?: Nope Why it should be added?: Well, there's a rule and explains that when you're in a busy zone (+25 players) you have to turn your beacons off, so other players don't lag (I know that in some cases the beacons low the FPS), but this is a rule that almost no one respects. So I think that this system can avoid those players that don't care about the rules or other players' gaming experiences. And improve the FPS stability for all.

I would like there to be a more strict rule about when the beacons are allowed to be used (not installing them on trucks, but activating them) and not. It should for example be allowed to be used for trucks carrying heavy cargo trailers. (See examples of this in attachments) And it should not be allowed on trucks not carrying a trailer at all, or regular size trailers. (please follow link under to see examples of what I mean) http://jmp.sh/P5Bb1tC

Beacons, flags, and oversize load banners are available in multiplayer, but can't be seen by other players.

Suggestion Name: Beacons Suggestion Description: The beacons should be turnedon if you have a special cargo, those that have beacons added on the trailer. Any example images: No. Why should it be added?: Because its impossible to stay all the time turning beacons on and off just because there are +25/-25 players on the zone. (It's my first own topic, and sorry if i dont speak english very well.)

Suggestion Name: Auto-kick players using beacons in high populated areas Suggestion Description: After entering high populated areas with 25+ people, player will get message similar to "turn on the lights warning" about turning off active beacons. After 15 seconds of ignoring the warning, player will be auto-kicked from the server. Any example images: n/a Why should it be added?: It'd help with fps drop in high populated areas.

Suggestion Name: New rule about beacons' usage Suggestion Description: In addition to the LED BEACONS suggestion, we all know that default beacon causes LAG. This means: the more trucks with beacons on, the more lag. So I'd like to porpose a new RULE about BEACONS' USAGE: SET A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BEACONS: I've seen trucks with 6 or more beacon lights. This causes a lot of lag. I'd like to porpose this equality: BIG BEACON = 4, SMALL BEACON = 2, LED BEACON = 1 You can use ANY combination which total sum is 6 Until LED beacons are added (which I hope so), another combination could be: 1 BIG BEACON + 1 SMALL BEACON OR 3 SMALL BEACONS LIMIT ITS USAGE TO HEAVY TRAILERS ONLY: This means: if you are carrying a light trailer or no trailer, you CAN'T use beacons. These are the cases when you MUST use beacons: How do I know when I can (must) use beacons? EASY: REPORT PLAYERS USING BEACONS WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T OR HAVING AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF BEACONS: Admins would kick a player for bad beacons' usage, or warn him/her at least. AUTOMATIC MESSAGE REMEMBERING PLAYERS WHEN TO USE / NOT USE BEACONS Any example images: DONE Why it should be added? I guess players know what I'm talking about and would be ok with having just a few beacons and use them only in the mentioned cases. This would reduce lag, specially when there are lots of trucks around. You're not cooler by having beacons on. Beacons are just a signal, which must be used for "SAFETY" (this is in real life, but hey! this is a "simulator"). Thanks for reading, mentalista666

Read whole thread before rejecting it because of it's title please. Suggestion Name: Limit the number of beacons a player can have. Suggestion Description: Lot's of people have tons of beacons on their light bars and keep them on at all times, they may not lag but they make other's around them drop frames. Especially noticeable in cities. I suggest to limit the number of beacons you can have to one or two single beacons, or one of the double beacon device, like The Space or whatever it's actual name is. Any example images: None Why should it be added?: Lot's of people have tons of beacons on their light bars and keep them on at all times, they may not lag but they make other's around them drop frames. Especially noticeable in cities. I know you can disable beacons in your settings but that also takes away light reflections on the ground. I think it is just inconvenient for people to disable that function every time they enter a city because of those beacon spammers.
