My first day on TMP


Banton

Recommended Posts

Granted, I'm not the longest playing ergo greatest of players. There's a lot to get used to in the game itself, compared say, to real life. But I gave it a blast....

....and after the whole 1.46 1.47 and failure to recognise the path that was correct until I copied and pasted it (thanks discord chat), instead of navigating, the system seemed to be working so lets go.
No mods. No graphical improvements, nothing. Didn't reaslie this wasn't supported.
No traffic. Of course other than you and me. AI in the actual game is not so great so win win, lose. 
And onto the first meeting, on the motorway.. another trucker. Hazards flashing and weaving from lane one to three. He knew I was there and seemed to curb his enthusiasm to lane one so I could pass and as I did, rammed straight into the side of me and rolled his truck. Blasting his horn in anger. I'd like to say bad ping but he was quite smoothly doing this so I am not so sure.

£75,000 damage. Thanks dude. You.... rock... I think.

Onto this evening, my friend joins me. No special transport jobs ? I may have missed something. I am quite new to this. We managed to get similar jobs from Birmingham to Manchester. Same company both ends too. Different cargo.

Coming off the M6 onto the 62, I managed to slam into the side of friend, even though I was beyond clear. He was far away in rear view but says we were much closer. Not sure what happened there. I see some jittery trucks and ping issues maybe.  A few miles later while navigating the city, we crashed again, because he glitched and stopped almost dead. Ping not quick enough for smooth braking then ?

My friend seems more into billions of mods for a laugh, I am more into realism and still, for a laugh. So as cool as this was, I have to say I thought it would be more like the standard game. 

Local (client side) mods maybe should be allowed because they are irrelevant to anyone. Visuals, graphics, rain update, real logos and so on. But I don't understand the logistics of why you don't so I am not judging. I can easily imagine this TMP is a complex affair so my hats off to you guys. 

I can only imagine ETS3 will be a bit of a beast. A 4,000 player server is a massive yes, from me, of course, trolls aside.

Hi there,

Welcome to the truckersMP family.

 

I am sad that this happened.


I always recommend recording so you can report it in the online reporting system and you should also report it in-game.
I leave the two topics below.

https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/8

https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/791


However, it should be noted that many people have connection problems with the servers and sometimes certain things happen that had no human intervention.

Regarding the special jobs, the TruckersMP team is increasingly analyzing the suggestions of its players and discussing them.
But, imagine a heavy load passing on a road with many players, you are already wondering what will happen, right?

 

Any questions, feel free to contact.

Cheers and have fun!

Hello, 

It is sad this happened to you, however there are some things I‘d like to comment about.

I always recommend you to record your sessions in case you meet any troll. Then you can simply report them on the website. Due to the high load of ingame reports, it is impossible for the Game Moderator to look at all reports. However, every web report will be reviewed, even if it takes some time due to the high load of reports there as well.

Nope, special transports are not in TruckersMP as the Escorting vehiecles could cause chaos, especially in high populated areas. 
if you want to drive the same cargo with the same trailer, you can use the TruckersMP job dispatcher to create a job and share it with your friends.

Lags can happen from time to time. This can happen if the ping of the player who has the laggs is unstable or they have FPS drops. I‘d recommend to keep enough distance so you can stop in time. If you see the player in front of you already has excessive laggs, keep even more distance to avoid crashes.

Local Mods are allowed. You will not get in trouble if you use some local mods, as long as they comply with rule §5.1 - Server Auto Kicks 

„Local Mods - Using local-only items such as sound and model accessories that use the /home directory (this does not include addon hookups).“ 

I am using local mods myself on a few trucks without any problems. There are tools (like project ALM) which can help you get Local Mods in TMP very easily. 

 

I hope this could help and you will have a better experience on the TruckersMP servers in the future!

Olá@Banton,

 

Lamento saber que seu primeiro dia acabou sendo um pesadelo.

Não se preocupe, às vezes há pesadelos melhores...😉

 

Lembre-se sempre dos " Três R's ":
Gravar , Relatar e R elaxar.

I like the 3 R's.

Lately I've been walking away from the CD road. I've caught a lot of players going against the highway. 😁😁
