Nyaruko Express Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 ATS MP has fewer players, and I believe players may feel something like lonely or ...? After US server's down, ATS has a highest online record of 872 players in the most recent one year, according to the server status. I think this is because the Europe server contains players from North America, and the number goes down when the US server is back online. This brings me the idea of adding some AI traffics in the game, MP. Since fewer players in MP, a few AI traffics would probably not make it a mass in the game. If you know the console commands in ETS2 and ATS, you should know a command "g_traffic" deciding the in-game AI traffic density. I remember the parameter is from 0 to 10, and the default value is 1. In other words,normally AI traffic density is 1 (in SP), and if you set to 2, then you will have as much as two times traffic volume. If set to 0.5, then half traffics. When we play SP, the AI traffic density is 1, and when in MP, the density is 0. The MP server controls the density and we, as clients, are not able to set it. So, do you think we can add some AI traffics to ATS MP? I tested 0.1 traffic density in ATS (plz check the video below), and found it acceptable in MP - no matter you are a simulation driver, or you are a "racer", 0.1 density does not affect too much. Even if you "race" on highway with a trailer, you just meet a few AI traffics, maybe 3 or 4 vehicles in 5 minutes. And I notice that ATS random events are for individual players, not for all. A player may see a random event ahead while other drivers near him see nothing (other drivers don't have the event so they can drive through those barriers). In this case, the server can set random event rate to 0 and clients are not allowed to set it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krypto_one Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 it would have to be synced to hundreds, maybe 1000s of people, trolls could use it as an advantage... been here for 1 year+ creator of would you rather owner of ats and ets2 RANK: VETERAN II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyaruko Express Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 @Hyperspace Just 3 AIs in 5 minutes. I don't think it is a chance for trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntackz Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well by adding AI it looks realism but its not good to add in MP. it was suggested many times but got rejected. AI just adds load to PC hardware. Some use it to troll. Tbh if you need AI then I would suggest you to play in Single player which is more fun for ATS. Adding AI to MP is just asking for chaos and traffic jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk197 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 they cant do ai because they have to try and sync it to everyone and then you've got lag problems then you'll get more trolls on but the upside is you'll get more players on it for a little bit and to much work for little player base too it just wont happen on mp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have many mods subscribed from Workshop, adding more fun to the game. @chipmunk197 I think you explained everything! I forgot the sync & lag problem Sorry about that.

Game Developer ShawnCZek Posted January 23, 2018 Game Developer Share Posted January 23, 2018 Very nice idea, but I think it would cause more problems than fun. Game Developer Discord Bot Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk197 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 i would like ai traffic not as much as single player but somepeople would make it a nightmare on mp even if they solved the lag and sync but if you go in the busy spots then its like having ai around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarNar Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Don't know how AI traffic is possible to be implemented in the game, but i doubt this will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestius Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Crashing into AI causes the AI to stop and turn on flashers for an extended period of time, this could be very problematic in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scar Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 AI won't be added. TruckersMP is intended to be played with real players and not AI.
