Map editor Road wont show

[Jelluh]

I created a a road as a test on the islan Jan Mayen. I made it a scs file and put it in the mod folder. I can run it in the map editor, but it is not visible in game. The road that i just added wont show in game, but will show in the map editor. Can someone help me out?

You should convert your created map into the mod's hierarchy and structure before packing it and put the compressed zip result into "mod" folder. Search the net and YouTube on how to pack up and publish map mod.

What do you mean with hierarchy and structure? I converted it to an .scs file and it still wont show in game.

Explain in details how do you "converted" it into .scs file.
Tools? Methods?

I copied the .mbd file and the general map folder, put it in a other map, zipped it with winrar. I put the compression level to store. And i changed it to .scs. Then i copied the file to the mod folder.

Pack it with at least "map" folder (with an .mbd file in it) so your zip/scs file has a "map" folder in the zip root path (where you usually put manifest.sii, icon and description files on it). Also you can't just provide the .mbd file but also all map sector data (sec+xxxxx) files.

I have just Packed the "map" folder into an scs file, loaded in the mod manager, and it still didnt work..

Does the map folder also includes all sector data files? These sector data usually stored under "/map/<map_name>/" or in your case "/map/europe/" folder.

If you edit the original SCS map (europe.mbd), there'll be lots of sector data files in it. You can delete the older files and keep the sector data that actually modified by you. The easy way is by sorting the files by date descending and delete all those "sec+xxxx" files where the date/time is older than when you save the map editing.

Yes, they are included.

Starting from game version 1.40, you should pack the created/modified map from "Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod/user_map/" folder. Also, do check if your map modifications showing up and work well by clicking "Run Map" button located at the top editor's toolbar (green play symbol button).

When i press play in the map editor, it works, but still not in game. Does it still work after 1.40?

If you were start map editing with editor on 1.50 and now you are in 1.51, make sure to "map rebuild" (press F8) on the editor and save. From 1.40 until now on (1.51 to date), map mod should be packed from "Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod/user_map/" folder, NOT from "../Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/base_map/" folder.

Tried it on version 1.51, and it still shows nothing. Also tried it on rusmap to see if Jan mayen was the probleem, but it wasnt

Add this command line parameter for normal game launch:

-no_user_map_mount

If your map modifications still not showing in the game, I have no idea what else may causing it. Maybe something has been missed or skipped during map editing. Also check the game log file for errors and warnings as an additional clue.
