Trying to increase traffic amount - help

[smitty]

Been trying to increase my traffic but no idea if I'm doing it right...

I have a folder named 'def'
and a .txt file inside named 'traffic_data.sii'

and this is the text inside the .txt file.

SiiNunit
{
traffic_data : .traffic.data {

# Total AI vehicle count limit (including trucks)
# (for 32 & 64 Bit Mode)
max_vehicle_count: 5000

# AI truck count limit
max_truck_count: 25

## Global AI safety modifier - influences 'safety factor' for all AI vehicles
## Valid values: <-1;1>  where '-1' means 'minimum safety for all' and '1' means 'maximum safety ## for all'
## Vehicles with low safety factor tend to brake more abruptly, use low spacing distances, use 
## lights later in case of low visibility...

ai_safety_modifier: 0.0

## Global AI patience modifier - influences 'patience factor' for all AI vehicles
## Valid values: <-1;1>  where '-1' means 'minimum patience for all' and '1' means 'maximum 
## patience for all'
## Vehicles with low patience factor tend to overtake more often, have lower waiting times (e.g. 
## when yielding), use horns sooner (when blocked)...

ai_patience_modifier: -0.5

## Yield attributes. If a vehicle (including player's one) is forced to give way to other ones for
##  too long time, a 'yield event' can occur.
## This should help reducing traffic jams, which can occur at small roads during rush hours.
## To make a vehicle yield to another one, the following conditions must be met:
##
## 1. Vehicles must be on 'small roads' (max 1 lane in each direction)
## 2. The speed of the driving vehicle must not be higher than 'ai_yield_max_speed' [m/s]
## 3. The waiting vehicle must have been waiting at least 'ai_yield_wait_time' [s].
## 4. Yielding vehicle waits for the other one until it moves, but only for
## 'ai_yield_timeout' [s]. If nothing happens, yielding is cancelled.

ai_yield_max_speed: (18.0, 26.0)

ai_yield_wait_time: (5.0, 7.0)

ai_yield_timeout: (3.0, 4.0)	
}

}

Is that right?


I then right click the 'def' folder, click add to archive and rename it to zzzzTRAFFIC.scs

Is that how it is meant to be done?

Yes. Try it. See what happens.
Although max_vehicle_count of 5000 may give your CPU a triple-coronary.

Thanks - What is the default amount by any chance?

The default numbers are in the original traffic_data.sii file, I think.
But they are maximum numbers. Doesn't necessarily mean there are that many all the time.
And I believe the game generates those vehicles within a certain vacinity around you. I don't think it means the whole map all at once.
5000 could mean gridlock on all roads all the time.
