Vehicle Selector 14.4 not working for everybody .... so no alternative better than the present mod from bloodypengouin for some people...

Successor is Vehicle Selector

thank you :)

@chrbordeaux
for public transport at least i know the base game has options now to select which bus/train/metro/tram you want to spawn for that line.
as for service vehicles such as fire trucks, police cars, hearses.... maybe try this one? (i use it myself)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882769913

as a plus compared to the game options, this mod allows you to select more than 1 type of vehicle for the same line or service, so you can have 2 or more different trains in the same line, if you wish, or 2+ different police cars, etc

I understand and fully agree. ;)
Which other mod are you talking about? Else I've been asking myself if any mod is needed at all meanwhile since with last update of the game we have several vehicles for trams, trains, etc as available standard. that makes only sense if one can select them, right?

@Tuga_Venatus Exactly! The less older mods I have to support, the more new stuff I can add :)

@chrbordeaux there is another mod to select vehicles, and with so many mods made by bloodypenguin, is only fair he stops updating this one if there is a good alternative (not necessarily better, but no point on updating his mod if there is a working alternative), better use his time to update and improve other more "must have" mods, rather than something that has alternatives working.

@chrbordeaux Not supported anymore. If it breaks, I won't fix anything.

hello. why does it show OBSOLETE in title?

@Nucity I can also contribute to the other mod 😉

@BloodyPenguin Your mod is much more practical to use. The other mod unfortunately does not work on all service buildings, especially garbage ones, and it is also not possible to choose any vehicle. With its mod the options are bigger, for example, in the garbage transfer building, it is possible to select any truck, while in the other mod only the specific transfer truck is available. It would be great if you updated because your mod is better!

@BloodyPenguin Thanks for the feedback

@Kurswagen You don't know whats gone on in this mans life, nobody in their right mind abandons the amount of work hes put in yet you judge him. What have you done to help this game progress huh.

@Kurswagen You make it sound like modding is his job.

@Kurswagen My absence wasn't voluntary, sorry for not updating. Now I'm back and will update other stuff. Probably it's already too late for this one. So I highly recommend to use the alternative!

What a weirdo this BP. For years he feeds us with the mods and shortly before the end of CS1 he pisses off and the mods don't work anymore.

Mod is super finicky.

If it doesn't work well, use new mod Vehicle Selector 1.4

Imho you should consider using this new mod instead: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882769913

@Jav-aniceday for public transport use either "improved public transport v2", or I believe "transport line manager" also has option for transports.
Transfer controller deals with services only, not public transport.

BP got married and a job, he's no longer doing modding

Omg did Bloody Penguin die?!?!?!

I heard a rumor that algernon will come up with his SVS3.

Penguin is dead. He is never coming back. So move on.

@CyberVibes, thank you

Hi sir, can we have the version to support the plaza DLC release. I am an big fans of the current mods.

@Darth_Jimbo post a message on the mod page im sure he'll add them given time.
@Jav-aniceday again post a message on TC's page.

@Dath_Jimbo not all vehicles for all buildings. In fact, it won't let me choose a vehicle for train stations - the one building type I really wanted to choose a vehicle for. I hope BloddyPenguin comes back and fixes this one, and the Barges mod, as well. Or someone else who can do so.

@CyberVibes I'm so stupid. I'm using TC since it released but didn't realize that you could choose vehicles with it. Thanks. Edit: Not for cable cars unfortunately...

@Darth_Jimbo forget this mod the author has left the community, use Transfer Controller instead

@Master Tage/TTV @StayHungryStayFoolish
FYI: Mod is working fine for me (until now)...

Please follow the Plazas & Promenades DLC Compatible modlist.

new update breaks this mod
please fix

You need IPT for buses https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928128676&

BTW this mod id now defunct use Transfer Controller instead.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2805340879

when I select the buses that I downloaded they don't leave the garage, how do I get them to run?

doesnt work... loading screen all the time..

A problem:
IF I activate this mode, I cannot select bus type on the bus line interface.

@Pnevma: I subscribed to Transfer Controller just recently and it looks like that mod could be the spiritual successor to this mod (SVS2). However, Transfer Controller is still under development and hasn't reached its final version yet, so I'm going to have wait another year or so for that mod to be ironed out and completed. Until then, I'm going to have to put my playing time with C:S on hold. What a shame, since BloodyPenguin was once an active modder here in the workshop known for his good works and helpful mods up until this year as he finally decided to leave the workshop indefinitely for reasons only known to him after the Airports DLC update (TBH, we players didn't really need that DLC in the first place). :(

id abandon this mod guys, transfer controller/transfer manager can do the same thing and are more up to date. they also do not break theme mixer 2, afaik. it's very odd that there's a connection there, in the first place?

transfer controller/manager are two separate mods but accomplish similar, they allow you to manage transfers in and out of industries and vehicle selection for just about anything. a more advanced version of this. they also have visual selection, somewhat. i think only one of them does.

@CyberVibes, if you have Transfer Controller, you don't need Service Vehicle Selector. they do the same thing.

Is there supposed to be a config file for this mod? Looked in both steamapps folders as well as appdata but cant find anything related to one.

This has stopped working for me i think it may be a conflict with Transfer Controller having the ability to select vehicles but now this mod ignores any of the custom vehicles i select.

I have a ton of mods, but I've noticed when this one is active my fire stations - and only them - spawn way more fire engines than building settings would allow, but the station will still show that 0 units are in use. Even the vanilla stations.

So, if I have a station that only allows 4 spawned engines when there is a fire, I will count up to 10 actually being sent out, but the building still says 0 are in use...

does anyone know an alternative to this that keeps the "visual" selection feature, so i can actually see an icon of the cars im picking

I've recently noticed that my cruise ships and passenger planes are disappearing when I click on their buildings. The only thread I could find about it says it's an issue with this mod. Are any of you having this issue? Were you able to fix it?

While Transport Lines Manager solves the problem that has plagued IPT2 since the Airports DLC release and update, apparently there is no equivalent mod that can solve SVS2's similar problem that's being affected by the Airports DLC update. AVO and this one mod by klyte45 called Vehicle Master Control seem to be their equivalent of SVS2 but they don't work the same way as SVS2. So for now, until someone with significant modding skills can make a new version of SVS2 or create an actual spiritual successor to it, it's going to be ages until someone has the fortitude to step up to the task.

@oshawotta737 thanks i figured as such

It seems that this nice mod still has a conflict with the ingame vehicle selector.

@Bloodypenguin this has stopped working for freight train selections.

does this work for selecting specific cargo trains to specific fright stations?

does this mod work for warehouses as well?
