By the grace of a cyber god, this mod is NOT locked!! It could be easily, but it isn't. So, if there is a texture you want to change, or add. A skin, paint scheme, etc.. You can do that..
If you have a specific engine and transmission combo in mind you would like to have available in-game for this mod, YOU can do that also.. Go talk you your uncle Google, or your aunt Bing, and ask them how to add a definition for a truck in ATS 1.53 to an engine/transmission file. You literally just have to open the mod that has the engine and tranny and put the Mack mod name into the list of supported mods.
You may have to play with the gearing a little if you want to dial it in exactly, but the entire process requires 7ZIP and Notepad ++ which are both FREE ! So put whatever engine you want in it and sod off mate!
but i sure will next time @red wolf !
It's easy to make this work for 1.50. Navigate to the "steamapps/workshop/content/270880" folder. In there are all the mods installed by steam. Notice in the address bar of your browser the id number for this mod. It is 1463066263. Find that folder and open it. Inside this folder, you will find the "versions.sii" file. Double click it and it should open up in Notepad. Find the line that contains 'compatible_versions[]: "1.49.*"'. Copy this line and paste it below this line. Then in the newly pasted line, change the 1.49 to 1.50. Save the file and you are good to go.
If you think/thought that the post I made was directed at you specifically then I can see where this whole thing might have gone sideways.
That wasn't directed at anyone in particular, it was a blanket statement. Because as you will no doubt soon discover, before this truck is officially updated there are going to be several posts likely made talking about how "the game is broken now and why isn't it updated yet", or just the most common "This mod needs to be updated, how long?". If you look through most of the popular trucks,trailers,parts mods that are currently showing incompatible. It will be the same thing in those boards.
But, if you felt like what I posted was directed towards you specifically, then I will gladly offer a public apology to you, cause it was a general post that many of us have made over the past few years. It was not targeted at all, and I am sorry if you felt it was singling you out.
That was not my intention.
As for this unpleasantness, I have seen first hand and pulled mods I made from the steam workshop for other games because of the overwhelming sense of entitlement when an update breaks a mod. It gets to wear on ya a little when its the same thing over and over. We're all lucky that people like Harven and the others still do this for free after all these years. I think a lot of us just get defensive because we don't want to see the mod makers hit that point where they stop doing it. A quick search would resolve a lot of peoples problems, but you make a good point that we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the mods can be updated by you if you research how to do it. Once you figure out the process it only takes a few seconds to update the version.
Hope this helps.
Version 1.53 JUST released this morning! You have a few options here! Take note that NONE of these options say cry on the discussion board cause you cant be bothered to READ!!
Jesus H Christ on a Motorbike, why is this so ####ing difficult and always the same thing every ####ing time??
Option 1 Go outside and touch grass!! Have a smoke and a Coke™ Then WAIT FOR THE UPDATE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!
Option 2 Locate and edit the mod package to include 1.53 as a version number that's compatible and play the game and hope it doesn't catch fire.
Option 3 Roll-back the game to 1.52 using the settings tool in the STEAM application library entry for the game.
If you need instructions for any of these options, Google is free and welcome to the last bastion of people who don't give a damn about your fragile little feelings, or your participation trophies. Fix it your damn self till the update is out, roll the game back so you can use it how it was, or WAIT!!
