mentalista666 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This is my first post, hope you like it and consider the idea. Suggestion Name: Enable LED Flash Beacon mod Suggestion Description: well, it just have no description, it's just a led beacon Any example images: https://youtu.be/v9UHUT8-w9E Why should it be added?: I think it would be really cool to have this mod on ETS2MP. This shouldn't be a mod though, it should be already included in the game, but it's not... I bet people will like this mod This mod doesn't cause any lag at any computer, they have no reflections. Default beacons cause more lag Credits: Big T, SCS software MOD: http://ets2.lt/en/4-led-flash-beacon/ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Default beacons cause more lag. They have no ambient light, just the leds. No orange light around the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFreshi Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It wouldn't cause lags, because there is already the mod by Metaltiger which enables LED's on places where they shouldn't be normally. And also the car mod which didn't cause lags in testing either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Please not. I see millions of trucks (maybe just ~5) that have no trailer but still are driving around with all beacon switched on, daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El1teZombiezHD Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We don't know if this causes lag until it is tested but I don't think it is a good idea because beacons anyway cause players to loose frames and the more beacons people have, the more lag the people with potato computers will suffer, -1 Kind Regards, El1teZombiezHD [TruckersMP Retired Team Member (Ex-Game Moderator)] If you are replying to me, please @mention me (@El1teZombiezHD ) or quote my message otherwise I may not respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see millions of trucks (maybe just ~5) that have no trailer but still are driving around with all beacon switched on, daily Well, give it both a try on sigle player mode and check if it lags or it doesn't. It's like the orange/white lights you put on the lower bars, just a small light. In addition, one option could be a beacon usage limitation: • Drivers can't use beacons unless they carry a heavy load trailer. • If they use them just carrying a small trailer or no trailer (which could cause some lag), they get warnings, and maybe get kicked after 2 or 3 warnings. It's just an idea, I don't try to make the rules here... But think about it, this beacons VS default beacons: no more orange lights around trucks, clean enviroment, less lag, more visibility. BTW, please guys, read the update above. Just discovered version v1.2, adding 2 more colors! Obviously the only ones allowed to use would be the orange ones. If people used red or blue ones, it would be a chaos lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creatured Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I like the idea, wont be hard to code either. +1!! it will be hard to code and secondly we all we need to download the mod and i quite franckly dont wont this mod cuz i dont like the looks of it and the potential that people or going to do something to produce lag is guaranteed In Game Status: || || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know if it would be hard to code, but would be cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkal1ty Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I´m agree with the mod, and I think it may fit well without any lag issue, BUT, I´m not sure about that "beacon ussage" law, is there already a similar law? I think it should, and I still see lots and lots (and more) drivers who wont take more lights in their truck just in case the game doesnt allow them to do so. And beacons are just annoying, in case we add more flashy things... this is gonna become a huge Circus-Truck Simulator. In case a good law and report system, or any other "beacons can only be activated when carrying x cargo" programmed feature, then I wouldnt care about this content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[S.PLH]Warrior Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 since it have red and blue you all know that these colors are used by the police so therefor it's not allowed to be used by the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandre Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 No, it won´t cause lag as it don´t have any reflections. @FlyingDutchman, you can just remove those coulors since it have red and blue you all know that these colors are used by the police so therefor it's not allowed to be used by the players it will be hard to code and secondly we all we need to download the mod and i quite franckly dont wont this mod cuz i dont like the looks of it and the potential that people or going to do something to produce lag is guaranteed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the ones exceeding the maximum dimensions or masses, must have light signals V-2 distributed so that it is perfectly defined the outline of the cross section of the same, in its front and rear front. If we want to make ETS2 real, we should use beacons in those situations, and follow the European Highway Code. I think this would let us use beacons just for this type of trailer, the ones that already have a beacon light in the rear front: @TheFlyingDutchman If you don't want red and blue lights to be used, just take the v1.0 version, which is only amber lights. BTW, I have deleted the link to the red and blue lights, so people can just use v1.0. I've also seen the v2.0 version, which is really really cool, but the author BigT hadn't shared this, so v1.0 seems pretty cool @740GL Thanks for your comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I support this 100%. The regular beacons cause way more lag than these things. It's basically a blinker flashing without any reflections (no lag). I love using these when in single player as it gives it a lot more realism and I can use them without losing frames 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andilind Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 +1- Would look really good instead of the big beacons. The led beacons is not causing alot of lag not even with a bad computer.

The regular beacons you can do the same, the regular beacons cause lag the more that are added, and you can add them all across the front grill too Now the LED beacons; You can add as many as you want, NO LAG AT ALL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put 8 regular beacons and cause a lot of lag, imagine that in 30 trucks at the same time. Now LED ones don't cause any lag, just light. Of course there could (should) be rules about their usage: when to use them and set a maximum of beacons. If we follow the European Highway Code, you must use beacons when carrying a heavy trailer, then at least you gotta have 2 beacons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
