CAST Addon - What It is & How to Use It
Customizable Additional Supported Trucks Addon, or CAST Addon for short, is an addon that allows you to easily add support for your favorite trucks so that you can use the transmissions provided by this mod on any truck you like.

You can find the addon via the SCS Software Forum Topic of the mod (link below) and by scrolling down to and clicking the link titled "Addons & legacy versions (Google Drive folder)".
SCS Software Forum Topic[forum.scssoft.com]

Using the Addon
The addon requires the main mod in order to work. You may place the addon above or below the main mod in the Mod Manager mod list.
By default, the addon does not add support for any additional trucks as it is completely up to the user to choose which trucks to add support for.

Adding Support for Trucks
  1. Extract the Real Eaton Fuller Transmissions CAST Addon.zip.
  2. Navigate to def/vehicle/truck folder within the extracted files. There should be 16 folders each named brand.model_## where ## is replaced by a number from 01 to 16.
  3. Rename any of the 16 folders to match the corresponding folder of the mod truck's mod archive you wish to add support for (/def/vehicle/truck/brand.model). Repeat this step for all the trucks you wish to add support for.
    NOTE: Do not edit or rename any other files included in the package to ensure intended functionality!
  4. Once you have renamed the folder(s) you may repack the mod into a zip archive and place it into your American Truck Simulator mod folder.

Truck Lookup Table

You need to use 7zip or similar software in order to extract the archive.

Hi LoaderSaint in winrar I don't have : the Real Eaton Fuller Transmissions CAST Addon.zip.

Obviously you need to download the file first. WinRAR should also work just fine.

Sorry I can’t do anything with your mod I can’t do anything with the 7zip and it doesn’t work better with Winrar. Too bad I continued with Fury6 in KW900 by Jon Rudas.
Thank you for your answers and have a good day.
Winger.
Now if you want to include it in your mod thank you in advance
Amicably

I too am looking for this CAST addon .. I followed the link from SCS forums to the Legacy google drive files, and I see 3 folders .. the last folder is the shifter layouts, but the first two folders, having the names "1.39" and "Legacy" respectively, appear to redirect to the same files, none having the name CAST addon .. can you please clarify which file contains the CAST addon .. Thanks Loader, these transmissions are great, and in the past, I have just manually created the entries for custom mod trucks.

Current latest version of the CAST addon can be found in the 1.39 folder as that is the oldest (first) game version the addon is compatible with. This folder structure is so that the mod file itself can have the same name regardless of game version compatibility.

I thought this was an app or something where you write the def name of the truck you want to be supported and it automatically will change the folders and the files, etc. It turns out this is just a follow-step (badly made btw) that honestly only confuses people. Way better to just download any engine mod or whatever and look how its built. And replicate it. Period. Less confusing and not a waste of time.

Better yet just use Zeemods Definition Generator, it's a free tool on his website :)

You only need to rename one folder to make a truck compatible. Additionally you need to have basic understanding on how mods are packaged and that's literally it.
I'd like to know how you would improve the instructions if you think they are badly written.

You just need to check the internal name of the truck (/def/vehicle/truck/) and follow the instructions in this topic.
