Interstate Nomad Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Howdy fellow truckers, I've been giving some thought to the "simulation" 2 server, as it hasn't seen much activity since its introduction. How about transforming it into a dedicated role-playing (RP) server? The server could be defined by certain pre-settings, for example collision mode enabled in all areas activated fines activated fatigue syncronized weather etc... As role-playing adds a layer of realism and immersion to the game, it would be beneficial for the part of the TruckersMP community which strives for realistic simulation. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this proposal. Please vote and if you like, share your opinions, ideas, and suggestions below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foobrother Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Thanks again for opening an interesting topic! Would be really fun indeed. More simulation/realism can't be bad from my point of view. Unfortunately, until traffic AI is introduced, you will still have the same problem of a very empty map which ruins the fun imho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerschwindenTR Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I think most people wouldn't adhere to these rules, but it still could have been very fun and different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaaali. Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It definitely sounds fun, but as @VerschwindenTR said above, I doubt the people (not all, but most) would adhere to the rules, since we all know how it is. It could overwhelm the moderation staff for sure. kaaaali. | TruckersMP Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones8000 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 This would be fun and I love the idea, but I do not know how this would work from a technical perspective. I am unsure if the server has access to change settings such as fatigue simulation and traffic offences. 1 Stones8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderasyon ekibini kesinlikle bunaltabilir. It requires frequent monitoring and strict management This can also be tiring for managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If Its Itchy,Just Scratch Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Well, we all see how popular the Speedlimit of 150kph is, after the Survey by TruckersMP. Instead of talking the Idea down, why not strap the Man Pants on and give it a try? There is nothing to lose, but it is possible that Simulation Gameplay prefering Players came back to TruckersMP. 2 Tired of being Banned and Insulted for Reckless Driving/Overtaking?!

[S.PLH]Warrior Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The collisions i agree but the other settings should be optional imo, because you can already disable/enable in base game, and if you disabled it all why should it be forced by TMP anyway.

Very interesting reply. You're saying that we shouldn't force a setting on TMP if it's something that can be enable/disable on the base game. But isn't the Arcade server collision free? As far as I know there is no UI setting in the base game to make things collision free (the base game forces collisions)? Still TMP is "forcing" collision free in Arcade. So why is it completely fine to break your rule for Arcade (forcing no collision)? But not for Simulation 2 (forcing fatigue etc...)? That shows the philosophy/strategy of TMP over the last few years: going more towards Arcade and less towards Simulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of the role-playing server is ... well ... to role-play (suprise!), and in this particualr case, a trucker and company owner. Against this background, don't you think it would be only a logical consequence to enable as many features as possible that support a realistic experience as best as possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this is just weird of you disable fatigue, then drive on SIM2 your driver still get tired, that makes no sense whatsoever. 5 hours ago, blabberbeak said: The idea of the role-playing server is ... well ... to role-play (suprise!), and in this particualr case, a trucker and company owner.

Yes of course i would love to have many features as possible, but you cannot simply block those from the base game ? also wondering how that will work if we block some basic game features, but still allowing them to be activated on our server how will the game track it ?

Sunstrider Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I don't see how changing 1 server to be an RP server will change anything for the long term. Sim 1 will still be an Arcade style server with the realism mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare to say that any game setting can be "locked", overriding local settings, including limiting setting's range to standard values only. If you can remember there used to be problem with random road events and detours until TMP disabled them, effectively forcing game settings. Also I believe truck stability and suspension related settigns are limited to values ranges that can be achieved with menu sliders, although higher or even negative numbers can be used with console commands. I don't see why there would be a problem with some settings being forced, those that don't want that have the freedom to choose different server. I do not have that freedom. Why maintaing 2 arcade servers, plus one ghost server that nobody wants? You could just secretely set the speed limit on sim1 to 150km/h, since there's the crowd that voted and cried for it, but they just hang there, cause that's where everybody else is, leaving the server made for them without other purpose than when sim1 gets full (rarely) or when there's an outgage. Seriously, why TMP just don't do that is beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that these random events are not yet fully synchronized with the players, so there was a not seeable hitbox suddenly on the road where players crash on too so that does makes sense to disable that. but again the other features should be optional so players can choose if they want these settings on or off.

The idea is that certain features are set by the server and can't be changed by the user. Imagine, users could turn off the speed limit on "simulation" 1 server. It doesn't make sense to provide the option of turning certain features on or off, in particular not, if such features are a fundamentally part of the role-playing. These features definitely include collision, fatigue, fines, weather and (hopefully) many more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanoDeath Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice Suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escargouille Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Frankly yes, with realistic non-modifiable parameters. Also I hope one day in ETS2, the management of the temperature of the brakes which affects their efficiency like IRL, up to their fires and therefore all the problems linked to that.

prostate_cancer_gaming Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 if that would be the case, i fell like the simulation 2 would be full of people and simulation 1 would be avarging 100 people at best, still its a very great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
