Beacon Edit by JBM

Description
CONVOY UPDATE
This mod has been updated for use in convoy/multiplayer. Enjoy!

YES, IT WORKS IN 1.50!

1.40 UPDATE NOTES
The 1.40 update brought about some much needed lighting improvements for ETS2. The new lighting system rendered most lighting mods unusable because of the newly updated flare data and a restructured file library. Performance of vehicle lights has, on the whole, been greatly improved in 1.40. But there are still plenty of lighting mods out there awaiting updates by their authors. Please be patient! Modders have lives too!

The initial release of this mod included edited flare textures to increase the brightness of the beacons to a more realistic level. The new lighting system in game version 1.40 has negated the need to edit flare textures to achieve this. The edited texture file is now therefore redundant, and has been removed in v2.0 of this mod.


ETS2 BEACON EDIT
I was never happy with the performance of the standard in-game beacons, so I thought I would experiment with some files and do something about it! :D

WHAT THIS MOD DOES
This basic mod simply changes the flash properties of SCS beacons and vehicle warning lights in the game.

Player Trucks & Trailers:
- Increases speed of Radiant and Pulsar* rotating beacons, as well as Bonfire and Space rotating beacon bars.
- Assigns typical Vision Alert style flash pattern to Pulse II* LED beacon, as well as Star* and Nova* LED beacon bars.
- Changes flash pattern of LED Strobe.*
- Removes "The Space" text from The Space beacon bar.

AI Trucks,Trailers, Service and Emergency Vehicles:
- Increases speed of rotating beacons.
- Changes flash pattern and speed of LED beacon bars.

Special Transport Escort Vehicles*:
- Changes flash pattern of LED beacon bars and warning lights.

* found in Special Transport DLC.


WHAT THIS MOD DOESN'T DO
- Replace beacon models.
- Change beacon colours or offer new ones.
- Add or remove tuning part slots.
- Use version-specific game data.
- Edit third party beacon mods.
- Cook your dinner. ;)

@xander - Sounds like a mod conflict. You should be able to put default SCS beacons on any SCS truck, in beacon slots and/or roof bar slots. This mod only changes the visual appearance of the SCS beacons. It won't stop you putting them on any truck. This includes mod trucks which allow the use of default beacons.

@JBM it cant og on all tucks for me but i can put it on rjl tucks

@jay2011 - This mod isn't dependent on specific trucks. You just need to be using any of the default beacons or lightbars.
jay 26 Nov, 2023 @ 11:00am 
is this for all mercedes trucks to?

@xander - The beacon bars can already go on all Scania trucks, including the RJL ones. This mod is just an edit of the default SCS beacons and beacon bars. :winter2019happybulb:

@Oldrifter - Thanks for your comment. I am working on an update for this mod. The latest game version has messed up a few things. No cooked dinners in the foreseeable future though! :lunar2019laughingpig:

Nice mod, are you planning the cooked dinner in a future update? lol

@TULPENLAND - Thanks for your message. The relevant changes for convoy were made to this mod last year. Unfortunately, like many other mods, the game seems to detect a mod mismatch when trying to use in convoy. It doesn't seem to happen in ALL cases, but I haven't found a fix for this yet, and I'm not even sure there is one at this time.

It's worth remembering that the convoy mode is still new, and is still undergoing development by SCS. Hopefully these issues will be ironed out in a future update. :winter2019happybulb:
