Roadrunner1982 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Suggestion Name: Add tandem mod to the multiplayer gameSuggestion Description: Allow users to drive rigid and tandem trucks. There is a tough point in making the ETS2MP client manage users that do not activate the mod. As usual, the easy way is to display a default truck+trailer, which can look weird. The nice way is to register rigid and tandem 3D models even if the mod is not activated. Any example images: Why should it be added?: Flemming V tandem mod is a quite popular mod that will undoubtedly brings diversity on the ETS2MP roads!

eskolaite Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I agree, this would be an awesome feature for ETS2MP. Flemming V mod works great and does not change the game mechanics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskolaite Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well, there is also this thread: http://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/5713-ad-tandem-mod-in-multiplayer/ However the double-trailer looks like a train rather than a tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffSFC Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 While I'd like to see tandem's n that, if a truck mod is allowed, that would open the gates for everyone to beg for their favourite trucks to be put in the game.

Crazyforiphone Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 This is european. And a European thing, why not add to the simulator? The mp mod is getting very stale and needs something to spice it up. This mod uses vanilla trucks just adds some modeling to the back. I would love to see it. EDIT: don't get your hopes up because since it is a mod, they probably won't accept it or a forum mod will just reject this cause it even mentions a mod.

Well, I fully understand this point, and the fact that each member will ask for his favorite mod as we are doing right now I also understand that integrating a mod is difficult and that you have to be sure that it is perennial (either the original author collaborates to update his mod as the ETS2 version goes on, or let the ETS2MP team work on it). However the ETS2MP team has already shown they can integrate popular mods, as they did for the winter mod. tandem trailers are planned just wait for it and scs was also thing about it awhile back If you are refering to the double-trailer feature, this is clearly not something that you can see on western european roads. It's fun (and will be great with the multiplayer mod of american truck simulator) but I'm not sure it is relevant for the european map. For the SCS brainstorm on tandem it is promising, but nothing is said on if this will be developed or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkal1ty Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I´m completely agree with the suggestion. This mod is really polished and works long ago. The modder supports it for the new upcoming updates from SCS and it would give a bit of challenge and new great stuff into the game. Moreover, people should understand the differente between this and any other single truck mods. I wish SCS could give us some info about their proyect on Tandems but... as soon as they say nothing after so long, I think MP Team could take Flemming´s great work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirestarteR93 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 All allowed mods are listed here It is too complicated to get mods in mp - a lot of us have weak-ish PCs, we need author's premission, mod shouldn't crash the game or overlay any part of ETS2's code(cuz then SCS won't be happy with us about EULA) - moving to rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
