Hey all, with the Ownable Gas Cisterns coming in 1.47, I wanted to get a little ahead of that and answer the inevitable questions coming my way. I've opted into the 1.47 Open Beta and so far it appears there are only the Single and B-Double chain type. I did not test if SCS did the same thing as they did with the Fueltankers and added a "hook" to the trailer cables hookup.

Additionally, I am officially placing both of my TPD mods on hiatus. There's a lot going on in my life right now that's draining a lot of energy from me and I just simply do not have the drive to update any of my trailer mods right now. In all honesty, I'm giving thought to just simply closing my trailer mods altogether. There are other trailer mods that do what I do to an equal, lesser, or even greater extent. My trailer mods, while relatively simple in what's done to make them work, are tedious for me to update/maintain. With other better mods out there, I don't even use my own trailer mods anymore.

Does this mean I'll stop making mods or updating my other mods entirely? I can't say for sure. My Foodtank Cargo mod is also fairly tedious to maintain. My other smaller mods aren't as tedious, such as the Unrestricted Air Horn and Slower Blinker mods. My Expanded Wheel Tuning mod can get tedious at times as well, but not nearly to the extent as my trailer mods or Foodtank cargo mod. Time will tell I suppose, if I stop modding this game or simply maintain a few of my mods.

Regardless of what happens, it's been a great time. I'm glad I could bring some additional joy to this game for so many of you with my simple mods. I wish all of you the best, and safe travels.

It's already compatible with 1.46. I just haven't added the chem/acid tankers yet. Not sure when I'll get around to adding them.

hi, just wondering if this could be updated to 1.46 if possible thanks :)

So, huge shoutout to Gdog900, for experimenting and figuring out that SCS has changed how they handle the hook chassis stuff with the Fueltankers. It turns out that ANY chassis length can use the hook now as it's built into the trailer cables instead of the chassis model itself. I do not know if this will work in TMP though. I'll have to test that. Assuming it does though...

What does this mean? Well, it means I can add more combos for the Fueltankers at the very least. Unknown if this was also done for any other trailers. However, if it also works in TMP, an update to this version will take a while. I now have a lot more combos to create, which also means more UI icons to make... So no ETA on when this will happen, but it will happen.

The mod has been updated for the Fuel Tank and Drybulk trailers and the mod is now flagged as optional for Convoy mode. Enjoy!

Finally updated the mod for 1.43 and the new Dumper and Bottom Dumper trailers. Sorry it took so long. No other excuse than procrastination. The B-Double versions of my mods aren't likely to see updates for 1.43 and the new trailers until after New Years.

As the description says, the Dumper trailers are listed under the Single chain type just like the Goosenecks, since they don't have a Double Pup chain type to work from.

Enjoy the update, safe travels, and Happy Holidays to everyone! See y'all in 2022!

Haven't started yet, actually. This mod is a little more work than the singleplayer version. Plus I forgot that TMP doesn't update in a timely manner, so there isn't a rush to update this one like there is with the singleplayer version.

Sanguinem Luna Iwas just wondering how the updates going???

I'll have an update out for this mod later to support the new ownable Dumper and Bottom Dumper trailers. No ETA other than "some time today".

Ah, ok. It sucks that you have been sick but i do hope that you get well soon.

If there are enough chassis lengths and options, yes. It seems like with every new ownable trailer, SCS is doing less and less with them. Normally I would download the beta and check the files out to see what's going on, but I've been sick with a cold for the last week, so I just don't have the energy. I should hopefully be feeling better by the time the update drops fully.

With the 1.43 Beta now out, is there any plans to include the new Dump trailers into the pack since the Side Dumpers support B-train and TPD chain types and the bottom dumps supporting TPD chain type?

ATTENTION
The mod is fully compatible with 1.41 and does not need updating. I will, however, be updating the mod description to mark any necessary notes regarding Convoy mode and my mods.

Please check back later, maybe several hours from now, as the Convoy mode notes being added to the description will be important to read.

That'll only happen if SCS adds them. I don't do 3D modeling/model editing. However, a friend of mine does have a mod that adds that kind of stuff, but it's ONLY for singleplayer since you cannot use custom assets on TMP, and the new "Convoy" official MP mode in the 1.41 Experimental Open Beta does not currently support mods.

You can find my friends mod that I mentioned here: Expanded Trailer Combinations

cant wait for 48' and 53' to have hooks!! i want a double 53' :D

Completely forgot to announce that the mod is compatible with 1.40 and that no files were changed that need updating. Whoops, lol.

Check the video linked in the mod images. It's a tutorial on how to use the mod.

hi how do i get it work in truckers mp as it wont show up/ work as it says its missing or somthing

I have updated the linked video to a better, more explanatory tutorial on how to use the mod.

As shown in the video, you need to start the game in singleplayer, activate the mod, load your profile, buy the trailer, save your game, exit the game, load multiplayer, and load your profile. The mod does not work if you are already in multiplayer.

I have the game and mp updated to the promods version, when configuring the trailer, the options such as the video do not appear

@kimberlyAguilar Alright, got my PC sorted. I'm in-game and the mod is working just fine. Please ensure that you are on the latest version of ATS. v1.39.3.17s. If you are trying to use the mod with TruckersMP, please check the video linked in the very beginning of the mod images.

@kimberlyAguilar I'm currently sorting out some issues with my PC and cannot check the mod for issues, but as soon as my PC is fixed, I'll check it and get back to you.

incompatible for new ersion ats :(

Looks like a working mod for 1.39!

This mod is compatible with 1.39. No files were changed that need updating.

I figured it out. the video was helpful.

I probably should update that video though... I kinda just did it one take without really caring too much. At the time I recorded it, I was stressed out from life and was annoyed at the constant questions of how to use the mod, so I just pulled a one-take recording. I ought to redo it and be a little more thorough and clear with it. Probably narrate it as well... Maybe once TMP updates to 1.38 I'll record a new guide.

@Chungy Check the video attached to the mod images. It walks you through how to use the mod.

How do I install this into TMP? I can handle long length trailers 60+ feet long as long as I got some breathing room (Basically space on the road and people with patience).

Read the description of the mod.

doesnt work for me in tmp

This mod has been updated to support 1.37 and the ownable Food Tankers. The shop icons for the Food Tankers are not up-to-date yet, I'll fix that soon. Enjoy!

@yarianclan That would require a lot of work in something like Blender or another 3D Model software, to edit or create such a thing. I have no experience in any software like that, nor do I have any interest in learning it. Is is it possible to do though? Yes, given someone has the knowledge and experience to do it, and wants to do it.

I wonder if we can run in single player, a Triple '53's with 4 axels under each trailer, set up is possible?
And if possible, 3 axel dollys/con gear ??

@RED_MONSTER In the singleplayer version, yes. But in a TMP Nationwide version, like this version of the my TPD mods, no. For the exact same reason I've explained before.

@Sanguinem Luna it is a great idea. This new config will be the same category as original triple trailers?

In other news though, I have been giving new thought to making a B-Triple mod. Basically the vanilla triples but as B-Trains instead. Should also be "legal" in TMP. I'd have to look into that to be sure though.

@All_Heil_Lord_Pepe I will not, sorry. It'd be unrealistic for a few reasons. There's only one axle variant for the long "hook" chassis' & it's always set to the rear. The "hook" chassis for each trailer are also only a certain length & can't be changed w/o 3D modeling, which I have no knowledge about nor desire to learn. So they can't be customized w/ multiple chassis+axle options.

The only way to do it & have multiple options is to make the lead trailer a pup & the following trailer the different options. Nearly every pup w/ a "hook" chassis, however, have too few axles & are much too short, which would cause instability IRL having a longer trailer attached to it. One could also argue that the pup chassis may also not be strong enough to withstand a much heavier load attached to it.

I realize it's just a game, but I prefer to keep a certain degree of realism in the mods I make. Reverse RMDs aren't realistic at all IMO & I've no desire to make a mod for it. Sorry.

Do you think you could take a gander at making RMD's with multiple axle options for all trailers? I've been using your TPD and Super B doubles lots lately.

It has to be that way for the trailers to be able to be used nationwide in TMP. If the TPD combos that are under Single were to be in other categories, they would be restricted to certain states only in TMP. I already explained this in the mod description. Please read it.

It would be great, if the different trailer configurations would belong to their own category. Single configs to single, double to double, etc. This way, that all configs are under "single trailer" category, I think it is so pointless.

Okay! Sorry for the delay on the updates, guys. I'm a complete moron and had no idea there were beta branches for the SCS Workshop Uploader. Thanks to POWE®FULL™ for letting me know they exist. I'll need to remember that for future updates.

This update adds support for the new ownable Grainhopper trailers.

I've also now publicly released the B-Double versions of my TPD mods.

Multiple B-Double Chassis+Axle Options

Multiple B-Double Chassis+Axle Options TMP Nationwide

So, I attempted to downgrade to 1.35 to try and push the new update, however, because the Grainhopper files are not in 1.35, the update failed to push. I expected this would be the case, but I had to try to be absolutely sure.

Sorry folks, the update definitely needs to wait until the SCS Workshop Uploader is updated. :( I hope they get on that soon, but if I had to guess, that won't happen until ETS2 1.36 drops later in the year. That should hopefully not be very long though.

Aside from that, updates to the still unreleased B-Double versions of the mods have been completed for Grainhopper support. Those will be made public when I can push the Grainhopper updates for the TPD mods.

Happy and safe trucking all!

Hello everyone! I have updates ready and waiting to support the new ownable Grainhopper trailer. However, the SCS Workshop Uploader has not updated to support 1.36 yet. As soon as the SCS Workshop Uploader updates to support the latest game version, I'll get the updates out ASAP.

The new ownable Bulk Feed trailer does not have any other chain-types than Single. It also does not have a "hook" chassis, so I cannot create support for it.

Regarding B-Doubles: I have mods made for both Singleplayer and Multiplayer finally. I need to update them though to add support for the Grainhoppers. I'll likely tackle that while waiting for the SCS Workshop Uploader to update.

Happy and safe trucking all!

@Akuma Urufu Thank you for the bug report. Fixed it. Not entirely sure how I managed to miss that before.

found a bug with the 40ft + 48ft spread and the 40ft + 45ft 3 axle options. When using these options, the containers on the rear trailers would have their containers switched with the incorrect ones, with the 48 spread having the 45ft containers and the 45 3 axle having the 32ft container

@MyNamesJebb Got some stuff going on in my personal life that's causing delays. I can't say for sure when I'll get it done. :/

@Sanguinem Luna, not harrassing. Just curious, how are the B doubles looking for the list? Anytime soon? I wanna just haul doubles hahah
