IndecisiveLetterY Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Suggestion Name: Allow a small mod to be active in multiplayer that fixes GPS color issues for those who are color blind. Suggestion Description: I made a support ticket at TruckersMP's Help Desk about the topic, but was redirected here to the forums (see images below). The mod changes only the colors on the installer's GPS/Map/Route from the normal colors (green arrow on top of red route on top of yellow explored road) to colors that are better visioned for someone, such as myself, who have what some call "warm color blindness." Here is a link to the Steam Community Discussion (mod link included within): http://steamcommunity.com/app/227300/discussions/0/358415206085085581/ Any example images: A few photos I took in single player, plus my reply from TruckersMP Support : http://imgur.com/a/ovSKu Why should it be added?: This simple mod allows me, and will allow others with similar color blind issues, to stay immersed in the game. In other words, I won't be constantly stopping to hit "M" or hit F3 and F5 a bunch of times to bring up my GPS (the one not on my truck's dashboard) to try and see if I know where the heck I'm going when I have a turn, bend, or lane change. I think I described it pretty well in my support ticket, last image of the album. Also note, in the picture of the map (in the album) the red roads indicate roads that have NOT been discovered yet, just in case anyone was wondering. I'm asking if the mod could be analyzed, scanned, or whatever needs to be done to allow the mod to be active when I or others play. If not, could someone provide an alternative mod or fix that I don't know about? Thanks for your time, much appreciated. EDIT: Note, I am NOT the mod creator. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalDoubleO Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am not really sure if this would be allowed, its only a tiny file though so it could be possible, I guess its best left to the CM's. +1 from me 1 Soarfly Haulage - Memberships Officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndecisiveLetterY Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) ^ When I was searching for color blind fixes, I actually found a post on their forums...from 3 years ago. http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25544&hilit=color+blind Edited June 20, 2016 by God Removed quote from above.

IndecisiveLetterY Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 It came to my attention that 3rd party mods are not allowed. That's understandable, so I would assume my suggestion counts as one. However, being that this 'mod' is only a tiny color change, as seen by the size of the mod On 6/20/2016 at 3:14 PM, DJ Double said: ...its only a tiny file though so it could be possible, I guess its best left to the CM's. +1 from me is it possible that an OPTIONAL mod, similar to this one (or new/unique, if the staff likes, so it's original), could be created? Optional meaning it can be disabled/enabled (because users who aren't color blind probably wouldn't care for the change). The maker of the mod I used in single player was made in just hours, so I would assume it wouldn't be difficult. Then again, I didn't create it. Thoughts?

_Pingu_ Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 yes true but the 3rd party mod would need permission to be used in ets2MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndecisiveLetterY Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 ^ I don't think he (the creator) would mind, it's just a replacement of colors, nothing really new. I don't think it'd be too difficult to get his approval. But like I was saying, I'm pretty sure just about anyone could do this with the right knowledge, so my suggestion now would be to see if the staff would like to implement something of their own if it becomes the case.

_Pingu_ Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 @IndecisiveLetterY true but for this to take off into the MP we need someone from the MP team to re-create this and enable this as a mod for MP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndecisiveLetterY Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 (It seems my previous post was removed at no notice to me? Nice) ^ That may be where this suggestion is heading then, although I'm sure this wouldn't be at the top of their list, but it would benefit quite a few.

Mr. Calvin Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 We are not planning to add this, plus SCS has added voice navigation. /Rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
