Special Transport DLC

It should hopefully be supported. However,  I personally feel that TruckersMP will only allow it on its own dedicated server, given the complexity of the DLC. Others think that the DLC could be neglected entirely, which would be a massive shame. 

 

We’re currently discussion the possibility of this being used in Multiplayer on SCS’ official blog forum post:

I dont think that TruckersMP will do another server for this DLC, but if they made this DLC only for England or another country like doubles are only available in Scandinavia?

@MettleMeatOne solution to that could be to make the escort vehicle a non-collision object.

 

Hopefully this won't mean the escort vehicle has the ability to send other people's trucks flying because then it can be used a a trolling tool.

Driving in somewhere like CD road with heavy cargo is safer than doing it with a regular cargo. Bigger and heavier cargo means slower acceleration, that means slower average speed, that means much higher reaction times and lower risk of accidents. All you have to do is let the faster players overtake you safely. But even if you dont let them overtake, if an accident occurs, it's not your fault, but the overtaker fault. No matter how slow is the other guy driving, you must always do a safe overtake (or sometimes, dont overtake at all).

 

Of course, there is always the chance trolls will use them for blocking, but they can do so with any trailer, so why this should be different?

In fact, SCS did. Not a certain area, but those trailers will be restricted (in the base game, at least) to only certain routes within the map (17 IIRC) for now, the number of allowed routes would be increasing in the future. So, kind of like the Doubles and Scandinavia, I guess. What I don't know is if restricting routes in MP is as feasible as restricting a whole area (like the devs did so if someone tries to go out of Scandinavia with a double, that someone is kicked from the server).

Liked idea with pilot cars but i think this DLC has no place in MP

I mean, they COULD be banned on C-D, but restricting them to SP only? I think that would be a waste to those who never saw this topic and only when they bought the DLC and entered MP would they

learn that the DLC is not allowed. (It will prob cost as much as the heavy cargo DLC, so it would also waste the buyers money. Particularly those who play on MP only.)

This idea sounds a lot better on paper.

 

For wide loads:

  • If this was implemented in MP, a lot of map editing would need to be done. Have you considered the fact that Europe has these tiny roads?
  • If map editing can't be done, it's better to just ban them on single lane roads. This would work far better on highways

^The map editing has nothing to do with the MP. It is up to scs. Also I don't think that the map will be edited. Maybe the trailers will just be allowed in some countrys like the doubles in Scandinavia.

 

See you on the road :)

^ That's exactly what I thought so I added an alternative, it's not there for no reason. The problem is which countries? All of them have vigorously narrow roads at one point or another, so what's the next option?

and with this new DLC coming up it has pilot cars as the pilots for the truck which would be pretty cool to have since these new trailers will be pretty big will the AI cars be ever put back in like in single player? and with the upcoming DLC will the AI Pilot cars be supported by MP?
