Removing default traffic

[carfreak554]

I use a lot of jazzycat traffic packs, and the base game traffic doesn't really fit in anymore, does anyone know of a way to remove the original traffic so it's only the modded traffic (if anyone suggests g_traffic 0, that's not what I'm looking for, and I also use the cip traffic ratio)

Nope, no way to do this as far as I know.

You can by making a mod for it, but it's a lot of work and i'm not sure which is the best way, or if you need to use both ways i know,...

But you can set spawn ratio's to 0 in this file
def\country\arizona\traffic.sii (for each country)

Or change/add spawn ratios to these files:
def\vehicle\ai\accord.sii (for each car model)

There may be other/easier ways, but these are the only ways i can think of

I'm gonna number these by paragraphs so stay with me
1. OK I can see making a mod, but I am unsure how modding even works so I can't exactly do that right niw
2. Wouldn't that remove all traffic?
3. How am I supposed to kniw which is base game and which is mod

g_traffic 1 or 0

That removes all traffic, incl jazzycats

@OP, i'm assuming jazzycat's mod has it's own files, but may use and overwrite SCS files, i haven't used Jazzycat's mods in ages.
But if you open the mod and follow the folder structure i mentioned you should be able to tell.

For the SCS files you would need to extract the def files first, then make a mod from it with the following folder structure:
modnameofyourchoice\def\country\arizona\traffic.sii (for each country)

and the same for
modnameofyourchoice\def\vehicle\ai\carmodel.sii

Its only an SCS file after extracting it from the 7z file, and I'm unsure how to edit that

Is it locked with a password, or "damaged"?, or can you open it with winrar or 7zip?

Anyhoo, it's not that important, you're better off looking at the SCS files and mod them, and when you have a mod just put it above Jazzycat's mod in the mod manager.

I just unzipped it with winzip and out the SCS files I needed in the mod manager, so no, it isn't, to my knowledge

You need to remember that Jazzycat has rebadged override models of most the vanilla vehicles (cars especially) you over write the vanilla car defs you will effectively stop those JC cars from spawning.

Why am I constantly seeing un badged base game vehicles then? Are you sure JC didn't just copy them and add them to their file?

[ThunderDownUnder]

I think JC only adds more vehicles, the SCS ones are still there.

[Karlia]

Because JC 11.2 only has 30 rebadged overwrite vehicles atm for ATS, there are at last count 50+ unique vanilla AI vehicles. (excluding truck, trams, busses etc)
And before you ask yes there are far more JC unique vehicles but we are discussing the vanilla overwrites.
So you are bound to see some unbadged AI JC has yet to cover for example the Buick Enclave, H2 Hummer, the Ford F350HD, Impreza and so on until he updates the rest.

[ThunderDownUnder]

Ah fair enough, didn't notice that.
