Quick Jobs & Money

[76561198183875966]

I am a lvl 3 Newbie with no truck of My own station in Odessa, TX. The only truck dealer is is in El Paso, TX. I had a little over 40,000 dollars. Tried to teleport there. Did NOT work. Used goto El_Paso got an error message. Got some bull about not having a truck, which I knew that. That why I wanted to go to El Paso to buy a damn truck. So tried finding quick jobs to work my way there. Some how I ended up with a job taking me from Odessa to Dallas & and my money went from the $40,000 to $14,000. I never clicked the take job button. So I am confused. I am NOT using any mods, don't like them. Only thing I have done is enable the console so I could use the teleport command. I think I am going to disable that. Used command to do away with traffic and it is now heavier than ever. Used uset g_set_traffic "0". I even changed F9 from chat so could use Ctrl+F9 to teleport, got some message about coordinates x,y nonsense.. A little HELP Please! Thanks.

When you accept a quick job you are put inside the truck so you would be aware if you accepted it or not. If that did not happen then I am at a loss as to why you would have lost any money. However, if you used the console and the goto command you would have needed to be inside a truck for it to work so if you used the quick job truck to travel with the goto command then I would suspect that is the reason for the loss of money. You cannot teleport if you don't have a truck and you cannot buy a truck for $40.000.

Only being level 3 I suggest you start over again by creating a new profile. If you check the Guides section at the top of the screen you will find where to locate the truck dealerships. If you have decided what truck you want to drive then select a starting garage in that city. Or if you would like to choose between 2 or more then select a garage in a city with one dealership and choose a different make of truck for your preferred truck so that will open that dealership. That way you can have a choice of 2 different dealerships.

Truck Dealer .... BUY ONLINE .... no need to "go to" dealer location

[straiton]

i think you need to be a certain level, before the buy online option appears

[Underscore_101_3]

It's not a level issue, you need to have a number of trucks I think it's 5, but could be less, there is/was also a way to have it from the start, but I don't recall how, maybe it is/was a config file setting,...

You inability to teleport to the dealership you have discovered is the first issue you have. What were you trying to do, and what happened exactly?

You can't purchase online until you've bought 5 trucks.

They don't own a truck, therefore they can't teleport.

What guide section? There is a guide section that show up after I complete the first job. I figured out that the truck dealer button will allow you to visit a selected truck dealer, which I did and I now have my new truck. But base on what you said I deleted my profiles & started over. I did NOT need to do that.
But now I am very tired & need to rest. I am parked at a Motel so HOW DO I REST?

If you look up the top of the screen while you are in this discussion that is where you will see a list of topics and if you look to the right of that list you will see Guides.

I suggested you start over because of what had happened and because of losing the amount of money you had lost and because you were not far advanced in the game. I also suggested it to give you better options of truck dealerships if you had found the guide section. It was friendly advice and it was your choice whether to take it or not. If you are upset for choosing to start over then I am sorry but my suggestion was only meant to help you.

If you are in a Motel with a rest zone which are marked on the map with a bed then you must locate the rest zone by driving over it. Once you drive over it the option to rest will show and you then select the shown key to rest.

I now have truck. I used the goto Farmington in the console while sitting in my truck. I was taken to Farmington, but I am way up in the air. I can NOT move. I can look around with my mouse. My controller does NOT work and when I press any key I am returned to my starting point. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the X, Y, Z coordinates?
Every time I load my game I get a Steam Inventory Message stating "An error occured loading Steam Inventory content. Internal Steam Error." I can click a disable button or a continue. I have click both on different occasion to continue my game. Any ideas how to make it go away?

When you use the "goto <city>" command, it only moves the camera. You then need to use the NumPad keys to position the camera to where you'd like to spawn your truck. Then, use Ctrl-F9 to teleport the truck. Be careful when positioning the camera that you aren't too high above the ground, because the teleport places your truck where the camera is, and you may fall causing damage to your truck/trailer/cargo. ;)

When using the goto command you will end up in the air above the location you teleported to to. To move around you use the keys of the numberpad of your keyboard.

Forward = 8
Left = 4
Right = 6
Back = 5
These all have directional arrows on them.

You must have the in-game GPS showing the map so you can locate where you want to move to. Using the mouse to head in the direction of the ground and the forward arrow key on your numberpad (8) you must head toward the ground and move toward where you want to your truck to locate to. You can slow the speed using the scroll wheel of your mouse. You must be close to the ground otherwise when you press Ctrl + F9 you will fall and damage your truck. So once you are in the position you want to relocate to and close to the ground you press Ctrl + F9 to relocate your truck.

I suggest you watch some youtube videos of how to use the console commands.

Here is one by Squirrel. The only difference now is instead of using F9 it is now Ctrl + F9. This was changed after this video.

Edit: Forgot to add the link to the video, I have now added it
2nd Edit: Changed Back = 2 to Back = 5
I only use number pad 8 and the mouse.
