Advertising boards in city's.

[TumbEd]

Suggestion Name: Advertising boards in city's

Suggestion Description: Put advertising boards around map in city where is the most traffic flow,such as Rotterdam or Calais, or in country capital city's and VTC or Radio stations could advertise their products on the boards, by renting out boards for a money.

Any example images:

 

Why should it be added?: First of all this could be great idea how to expand TMP servers, by these small "donations" TMP could make bigger servers and maybe upgrade EU2 server up to 10'000 players ,one day. Of course this could be cool idea to unite VTCs and Radio stations in TMP, because its is really big of a deal in TMP community. And if we look at the real life, these advertising boards are common in city's and this could make TMP make more realistic.

Hello TumbEd,

 

First of all, thank you for creating this suggestion. While we think this may be something we will implement in the future, there is something about this suggestion that I would like to address first.

 

• While I understand this suggestion was made some time ago, long before we launched our official Patreon, we will not offer a service like this in exchange for money. This would mean that VTCs, which are just starting up and want to advertise, with little money to spend, will not be able to benefit from this offer. Since we have our Patreon set up now, making bigger servers and/or do other things with our servers could be a possibility with the money we receive from that, rather than from some feature in-game. Our mod is and will stay a free service.

 

As I said, we might be looking into supporting this somewhere in the future, and therefore we would like some more opinions on this suggestion. 

 

Opened for Discussion.

IMO, I wouldn't like to see this added since I personally wouldn't like to see advertisement in my face while trying to have a casual drive

[Mineiro Uai]

I would like to see this, but in another way ... I will make a suggestion!

Players pay to impose their advertisements on other players?
No thank you.
This can only be an option at most so players can deactivate it.

I don't precisely agree on having an option to deactivate it - Assuming people would spend money to advertise whatever they wanted to, I think it would be rather unfair for others to simply disable the advertisements. Would like to see a workaround if this would to be added, which I think would be a nice minor detail to hbe added into our servers.

This is a good idea, but should be option to disable ads in settings. Not all players would like such ads and some players could change from multiplayer to singleplayer.

Let me get this straight:

You can not invoke your payment for advertisement as the reason to deny others the option to visually deactivate it.
Your solely decision to spend money on something (here: advertisement) must not (negatively) affect and/ or restrict and/ or disadvantage others in any way who are entirely uninvolved in the process.

Include the option to disable VTC advertisements in the settings just for personal preference. This way whoever doesn't like them can simply turn them off.

I like the Idea, however I would not give these boards to VTCs. They already spam the chat and I think thats enough. They can also have advertisements on the radio stations. I would rather give these to streamers or non profit organisations the tmp staff agree on supporting. Thats because people who want to switch VTCs will inform themselves about the vtcs that are out there anyway and all others will just be annoyed by those billboards.

 

Edit: If you rent these out to VTCs I defnetly want an option to turn these off!

I think it would be really perfect to see vtc that have the best rating of the month, not billboards, on billboards.

Nombre de sugerencia:  paneles publicitarios en la ciudad

Descripción de la sugerencia: Coloque carteles publicitarios en el mapa de la ciudad donde haya más flujo de tráfico, como Rotterdam o Calais, o en la capital del país y las estaciones de VTC o Radio podrían anunciar sus productos en los tableros, alquilando tableros por un dinero.

Cualquier imagen de ejemplo:

 

¿Por qué debería agregarse ?: En  primer lugar, esta podría ser una gran idea de cómo expandir los servidores TMP, mediante estas pequeñas "donaciones" TMP podría hacer servidores más grandes y quizás actualizar el servidor EU2 hasta 10'000 jugadores, algún día. Por supuesto, esta podría ser una buena idea para unir VTC y estaciones de radio en TMP, porque es un gran problema en la comunidad TMP. Y si nos fijamos en la vida real, estos paneles publicitarios son comunes en la ciudad y esto podría hacer que TMP sea más realista.

Very very cool, I would love for my company to come out hahaha

This is a really good Idea, but before making it happen please check SCS Software as it might conflict their legal terms and conditions 

 

Love you all

I, as a VTC owner, would really like to have this idea in TMP to be able to advertise their VTC for example in Sweden where we have our haulage

[1996dvd1996]

Hello, yes its a good tabs to recommend maybe a cargo companyes, u can create a virtual new tabs of the virtual company , or just creat a tabs where u can write a short tips how do ride well

[Debianov]

Hello,

I think this is not a bad idea. As an experiment, you can add a few and look at the reaction

[[KONNE]]

Greetings everyone.

Well in relation to advertising, I think it could be from the TMP itself, and in relation to the VTCs I suggest that for the VTCs that are on the VTC page on the TMP site, the automatic tag in Mod TMP wins, as is already done with Nickname

[Guest]

Its not a bad ideea.

[BMPellogia]

great idea,specially because visual pollution is a completely fake thing lol.

[[TPH] Zyph]

This is a good idea of promoting the cities and the vtc.

[SourCrowd.de]

I like this Idea but it looks like a lot of work especially for the TMP-Teams. Think about how many Ad-Boards exist Ingame (ProMods) , how often has to be update the game for every changes if a VTC decides to remove etc. I might thinking TMP needs a extra Team for this. (Why: This takes a lot time for change every Ad-Boards.) 

 

But to be honest, I don't want to download TMP all the time for Ad-Boards only.

[Positivetrucking168]

I can +1 this suggestion as this improves realism particularly in urban areas of the map, however there are some things that could make this suggestion work to its optimal standard. For example, one of the things I thought about is that I would give verified, and otherwise more well-known VTCs priority as far as VTC advertising in-game goes, as those VTCs are more likely to be trusted by players, and would therefore play a factor in a decision to allow players to make a more informed choice later on. 

[Geology Rocks]

i like this idea but maybe you have it on a month on a few months off basis so it always is rotated to advertise lots of company's not just the same ones 

[Niuro]

Possible and usable for VTCs with less than 20~40 players. If it could be connected with the in game money system, it will be perfect.

[Desmoo88]

This seems super cool, it would add an extra way for VTC's to get out there more. I think it would be cool if there was also a digital billboard in some places that can display four of five different advertisements (Scrolls between them every 30 seconds or any set time).
