Version 1.51 questions

[CAPTGFD]

I'm still using version 151. I have a couple questions about it. In the GPS map, the rest areas and gas stations are white instead of gray. Some companies are white around the gray area. Is this a change in 1.51? The other question is in the list to choose the version you wish to play, what does "temporary 151x for incompatible mods" exactly mean.

I have not recognized any changes to the GPS. Don't know what you mean exactly.
A screenshot might help.

"temporary 151x for incompatible mods" means it's for people having problems with their mods on the latest version.
If you have not used any mods so far... mods are usually made for certain versions of the game. So with each update they might stop working or cash the game.

Don't know why they named it "temporary". Will not be there for eternety maybe.
And well... 1.51.x obviously is the game version... :)

I don't understand what you mean with the white/grey comments. Can't seem to recall that being different between pre1.50 and post1.50.

"Temporary 1.51.x for incompatible mods" means what it says. It is a branch that runs 1.51, primarily used as a fallback to continue playing on 1.51 until all your mods are compatible with the next version. It doesn't last forever and will eventually be replaced with a newer version.

It does not mean that all mods are compatible for it, just compatible with 1.51 mods and below. The same as if it wasn't a beta branch and was instead just the main version. If the mods didn't work on 1.51 for real, then they won't work in that branch either.

Edit: Temporary also means temporary. That beta list has a max of like 10-12 betas. 1-2 are reserved for VR, 1 is a public beta of the next version(sometimes), and 5-7 are older versions for incompatibility reasons. You could just be on those versions for fun, doesn't have to be for mods specifically. Maybe you just want to revisit an older version.

So does the temporary version eliminate mods that are not working with that version?

[Reese]

The temporary branches don't modify anything. It's just the full game as of the last update for that version. No extra bug fixes, no extra changes. Mods that worked with it work and mods that didn't, do not.

Here is a screenshot of my map with no icons so you can see the white areas. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsM_kjygzpuDpZk1pyYtRYQSuDaxdQ?e=anDEp8

Right away I see you're using a mod, so it's probably another mod or even that one causing it.

I'm using mods as well (colored states map background, i.e.) but all the spots are grey or yellow when explored. I'm on 1.5.2 .

-> Mod issue, maybe some GPS mod, but who knows....

Thanks all, your hints made me check something and it was a satellite map.

It may be worth adding that v1.51 added the ability to colour map area (as opposed to prefab or road) items separately so it looks like your mod takes advantage of that new feature.
