Tab settings

[ALCRY]

Along with update 0.1.4, the multiplayer developers added the settings available when starting the multiplayer in the open TAB-e (to launch the settings window, hold the RMB, move the cursor to the Settings button and press the LMB):

 

General tab:

• Development logging - disabled / basic / advanced logging. Turn on if there is a possibility that you will publish bug reports or violations of other players;
• Drivers animation - on / off animation of drivers in cabs, slightly affect performance;
• Smoothing distance - the distance at which trucks and trailers are loaded in high quality. Does not work if the "Use low detailed models" setting is enabled;
• Season effects - on / off snow multiplayer weather effects. Disable if you are not using a winter mod.
• Steam notifications position - setting the position of the Steam notifications during the game;
• Player tag - setting a tag in front of a nickname (tags containing Cyrillic may cause errors when starting the game!);
• Load cabin accessories - display of cabin accessories for other players (a reboot of the game is required!);
• Load flags - displaying flags from DLC players (works only if you have this DLC) affects the FPS level!
• Scale nametags - tags and nicknames of players are scaled depending on the distance to them - the closer to the player, the larger the font;
• Players on the world map - the choice of the color of the display of players on the map (+ the attorney)
• Speed limiter [90 km / h] - setting a speed limit of 90 km / h (except for cities).

• Additional lights - on / off display of additional light sources (eg flashing beacons on trailers).
• Draw distance - the distance to display players, affects only the distance of the players in your field of vision.
• Dynamic shadows - on / off realistic shadow in trucks, greatly affects performance.
• Fake shadows - enable / disable fake shadows under the truck.

• Show speaking players - display the speaker's nicknames in the radio (in the upper left corner)
• Background for new chat messages - display a background for chat messages, even when text is closed.

 

Interface (settings for notifications and scoreboard alterations):

• Save scoreboard position and size - on / off saves the position of where you have the TAB menu
• Save position and size of the radio box - on / off saves the position of where you have the Radio Box
• Notify me about changes to the speed limit - on / off displays the current speed limit whenever it changes
