Realistic Vehicle Colours

Description
This is a port of my mod for ETS2 so all the screenshots are taken from ETS2 and all the colours are taken from European manufacturers.

What does this do?
This mod changes the colours used by AI traffic to be more realistic and varied.
It uses over 350 colours that are currently offered by some of the most popular European car manufacturers. You will see a realistic mix of bright and dull colours.

I've used colours from:

- Alfa-Romeo
- Audi
- BMW
- Fiat
- Mercedes-Benz
- Renault
- Seat
- Skoda
- Volkswagen
- Volvo

Compatibility
It works with Jazzycat's AI traffic mods and it should be compatible with all other AI traffic mods but it must be higher up in the load order to work.

Limitations
This is direct port of my mod for ETS2 and so currently does not feature American manufacturers, but the colours should be more realistic in ATS with the mod than they are without it.

The mod does not limit the colours that can be used by particular vehicles. This means that, for example, Volvo cars can use Renault colours and vice versa. It also means you will sometimes get a colour that just doesn't look right on that particular vehicle, but that will probably be quite rare.

Future Plans
Change the colours to American car manufacturers and upload screenshots from ATS.

The mod should now work with 1.49. I haven't been able to properly test it with the new version yet, so please let me know if there are still issues.

At the moment it's not updated to the latest version (1.49). I need to reinstall ATS before the SCS Workshop Uploader will let me update this mod. I'll try to get the mod updated as quickly as I can.

I tried installing this mod yesterday I have been using "Real Traffic Density ATS, Dynamic Truck Parking, Trucks and trailers traffic project, More powerful engines for AI trucks, intermittent Long Freight trains, Municipal police traffic" all successfully.

I have put your mod above and below all these mods and it caused a crash right after selecting my profile would you know any of those mods conflicting with yours? v.1.49

I've checked the ETS2 version and it does appear to be crashing the 1.49 Beta. If the problem still exists with the stable release of 1.49 I will try to fix it.

I've not played ATS recently, but the ETS2 version works so this one should too.

set car_colors.sii file to contain only 1 colour - pink makes it easy to see vehicles using it - and note majority of car park vehicles and car transporter vehicles are unaffetced. The models used in those places are different to the models used for traffic and they do not use car_colors file. They either have own colours in-built or use a different source for colours..
