Road to Simulation #3

[marco6158]

Hello Truckers!

New year, new changes. Fresh into 2020, we’d like to announce some big changes that we’ve been making to TruckersMP which revolve around our rules, player punishments, and save editing. As many of you know, we have been steadily moving more towards a simulation environment since last year while trying to bring TMP back in line with the vision of ETS2 and ATS. Still however we face many users who only seem to be here to ruin other players' experiences. Below you can find an overview of the big changes that we’re making which should begin to address some of these issues.

Major Rule Changes

Ban History

• The biggest change that we’re making is a modification to how we handle bans due to overall ban history. We are now lowering the amount of overall bans a player can receive in a single rolling year to five, with the removal of the 3 months due to history punishment, this will be effective immediately. This means that if you currently have 4 active bans on your profile, your next ban will be permanent should you receive another ban within your current ban history. If you currently have 5 bans, you will not be banned immediately under the new rule. Be aware that if you are banned again, it will be permanent so long as the active history supports it. Also, if you receive a secondary history ban at any time, it will be extended to permanent.

Punishment Length Changes

• In addition to the changes in how we handle ban history, we are also changing the punishment lengths for the offenses that are listed in our Game only rules. Players that are found to be breaking the rules will begin to receive much longer sentences than in the past. We are also becoming more strict on what we consider to be “kick-only offenses” as well. We ask that all players be mindful of how you choose to drive.

Save Editing Changes

Much of the save editing rules were done for added clarity, however there are a few big changes to the save editing rules:

• We now do not allow users to mix different trailer types in doubles and triples.
• We are lowering the amount of duplicated items you may have to one. This goes for both trucks and trailers. Strictly one per each.

Following this announcement, we're giving players 7 days time to adapt to the new Save Editing rules you can find here. Additionally, we have made a specific guide to save editing which will explain in depth how rules work and some examples to let you understand what is allowed and what isn't. More can be asked to the Game Management through the feedback system.

Happy Trucking,
The Game Management

♥ thank you for this job ♥

[Ady Man]

Thank you Info 

[Inklink]

Sounds good to me. 

[James]

Hai,

 

Sounds very good Marco!

[Swen_Tha_Mastah]

dupe rule might aswell be removed since u cant do anything on trucks for tuning since only one of the items on them can have leds for example in the slots

[JackLad]

Wow what have you done... Most people change the rules to IMPROVE something, but no because this is TMP, they are a little special and like to ruin more stuff for the community and the players that enjoy playing on here. 
 

Banned for speeding? Cmon now you’ve got to be joking like

 

This whole thing is a joke man... why do it? All your going to do is annoy people and loose players. 
 

 

[SgtBreadStick]

This is absolutely distgusting. What the hell were any of you thinking about this rule change?!

Not only are you shooting yourselves in the foot by doing this Road to Simulation rubbish, you're literally destroying a well made community and platform.

Remember this is a game, i do not care if it is a simulator and i do not care if u tell me to go to singleplayer or arcade if i dont like it, this is unacceptable.

 

This is a game, and you're making it stricter than in real life. Not a single person can manage to follow these rules properly, not even police themselves, not even your own staff.

Remember what you're doing is gonna make an impact, positive or negative. This will damn well be negative.

 

I thought some of the other rule changes and wintermod physics thing was bad enough, this is just pure toxicity towards to community.

You're an absolute disgrace to TruckersMP and it's history, as well as it's future. Are you honestly trying to wipe it out?

 

Rethink what ever the hell you guys are up to.

[Lukassrs]

Sounds good that the punishment length has been revised and you are more strict with the kick-only-offenses.

[RazvanRO15]

thanks for the information. the new rules sound good. Road to Simulation

[Granite [SVK]]

I don't think I will have any problems with strickter rules.

Yeah, it's just a game, a singleplayer game. You either obey the rules of the mod's team, or off you go to singleplayer. Or you can try and develop your own multiplaer mod.

I feel much better about the future of TMP now.

This is more focussed on save editing. People can put more items in one slot by using external programs, therefore, there would be no reason to remove this rule.

Not entirely correct here. Anyone can follow these rules, but they would have to be willing to. If you're not willing to change your reckless behaviour, you will be punished (this is an example, not aimed at you specifically.). This has always been the case, and just because some rules now changed, makes it look impossible to follow. Trust me, this is not the case.

[Alon_TMP]

Thanks for your post, let us know more

[Raymond_]

Thanks for the information. I think it is worth experimenting and allowing the creators to follow the pathway of their development vision. Some won't like it, some will; just adapt to the change & you'll be a pro driver! 

[Red Rock Lion]

Reducing the number of bans means we have to drive more mindfully and not be sloppy,I think this is a very good modification

I wonder how.

[Stabbs [FIN]]

Right....More strict save editing....So you guys are changing them how much and to a extent? Is SCS B-double with Krone Profiliner bannable trailer combination? Or even container HCT with smaller container trailer on the dolly?

ah yes because everybody nows how to make their own mods to dupe items via the new rules??!??!?!? its not about using external programs to do this we do double bumper cuz we want to make our truck look like irl trucks / style instead of filling my truck with 50 highbeams like everyone else does

[China-leitinG]

To be honest, after the first two simulation updates, there were a lot fewer people who violated the rules. I used to report as many as five on the website every day, but in the past two months, I have not made a report. This is very large.  With regard to the modification rules, if the system detects a player's violations, he will automatically kick him offline, but I think this is difficult and there are too many types of modifications!

You're joking right? "focussed" on saveediting and than you're removing the number1 rule for nice bar setups xD. If you're not familiar with the saveedit community than you shouldn't even try to make a comment about it. Being able to put more addons in one slot with local mods or similar destroys the whole point of a multiplayer... Why should you add stuff to your truck when noone can see it? doesn't make any sense to me.

You're calling it road to simulation and banning the trucks build from real life but you're still keeping those trucks filled with LEDs, chrome all over the place and horns sticking out the front like some sort of Mad Max style. You're really digging your own grave here. And that saveedit change has nothing to do with "Simulation"

[Numarkk]

Good to see that TMP is trying to make this a "serious" simulation than a "idiots on the road" stage show. Good luck for 2020.

[.George]

Good to see that TMP is becoming more realistic! Perhaps this will decrease bans.

Thanks for the information. It goods for me to avoid trolling by other people xD

What I said was an answer to someone stating the duplication rule should be removed. I did not say the rule changes were all focussed on save-editing.

I understand it may feel unfair, however those rule changes are done because of our focus on simulation, and that is exactly what this game is called. A simulator, simulating how real trucking is like. Times are changing and so is our community, and unfortunately we can't keep everyone happy. We understand some or many may disagree with our changes, but as I said, we can't keep everyone happy. If we don't make changes, people aren't happy, and if we do make changes, people aren't happy either.

Thanks for information. Now we will get rid of trolls more quickly.
