Proper Oversize Signage for SCS Cargo

Description
This mod adds the proper oversize signage to any existing SCS cargo that would be considered oversize in the real world, but isn't in the game.

If you are like me and enjoy driving with open deck loads but hate that some SCS cargoes protrude over the sides of the trailer but have no oversize signage, then this mod is for you.
In the U.S., loads wider than 8'6" (2,59m) are considered oversized and require proper oversize banners and flags to mark the protrusions.

For this mod, I went through all the cargoes in the game and measured their dimensions in Blender to identify all the oversized ones.
I also created oversize versions of all default flatbed, drop deck and lowboy (double drop) trailers (including the Lode King & Prestige Trailers Pack), which now feature oversize banners and flags.
I didn't think trailer chains were realistic for hauling oversized loads, so I left them out.

With this mod, all loads wider than 8'6" (2.59m) will now have proper oversize signage on the trailer.

Changed cargo (now Oversize):
  • Bulldozer
  • Aircraft Wing
  • Cool Tower
  • Mooring Buoy
  • School Bus
  • Square Baler
  • Tractor
  • Train Axles
  • Volvo Rock Bucket
  • Volvo EC220E Excavator
  • JCB 457 Wheel Loader
  • Windrower

Changed cargo (not Oversize):
  • Sprayer

Known Issues:
  • Some preview images in the cargo market do not show oversize signage, but they do appear when the trailer is loaded in the game world.
  • External contracts (World of Trucks) will randomly use the oversize trailers even though the cargo is not oversized. This because WoT ignores the oversize attribute set on these trailers. Unfortunately, I can't change this behavior.
  • Some lowboy cargo may appear on long trailer combinations despite their low weight. In this case, simply select a different trailer by clicking on the small gear icon when selecting the load at the company.

⚠️ You may need to reset the game economy for all changes to take effect. Type "g_force_economy_reset 1" in the console and then reload your profile.

If you want to be even more realistic and only attach oversize banners and flags to your truck or owned trailer when hauling oversized cargo, then I also have a mod for you!
It's called "Service at Companies"[forum.scssoft.com] and can be found on the SCS forum (couldn't upload it to the Steam workshop because it's a map mod). Using that mod you will be able to add or remove oversize signage directly at companies.

Updated for v1.55.
Added new cool tower and windrower cargos as oversize cargo.

The mod has finally been updated for v1.54. Because of the new cargo system, I had to rebuild the mod from the ground up. Some cargo is no longer oversized or needed (like the railroad ties). Thanks for your patience! If you find any problems with this new version, please let me know.

With the new way cargo is loaded onto the trailers, this mod is currently broken. I will try to adapt the mod to the new system, but it might take a while. Please be patient.

Yes! Everything is now ok;!
Thank you for the hint to the lazy updating on steam.

@Hickox, can you try to resubscribe to the mod? Steam is sometimes slow to update mods. On my end, the issue seems to be fixed.

Sorry, but I cannot confirm success of the update, problem is still the same
The easiest way to check it is to browse with the function /catalog/trailer index/flatbed...

The texture issue with flatbed trailers is now fixed. If you find any other problems, please let me know.
ØnYx  [author] 28 Nov, 2024 @ 10:46am 
@Hickox, thanks for reporting the issue. I will fix it in the next few days.

Conflicts with some loads for flatbed trailers (pink chassis!).
Please update to 1.53.
