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
I don't have any further plans for this mod apart from updating it to make it compatible with the game.

The mod was originally made back in 2017 for ETS2 and this is a direct port. SCS may have improved their vehicle colors since then, so it may be a more subtle change than it used to be. I'm not sure because I never play without it! ;)

Hi, Nice mod but i don't see any difference with or without mods playing ATS

I'm happy with the mod as it is and don't intend to change anything apart from updating it to keep it working with newer versions of the game. I should probably update the description to reflect that.

How is the color adaptation plan for American manufacturers going?

Yes, it works with the latest version.

1.50?

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.
