Perfect, that solved it! Thank you

@No Future After a crash, read your game.log.txt file in Documents\American Truck Simulator. The last (newest) entries in the log will be warnings and errors related to whatever caused the crash. In my own case when I crashed after the 1.38 update, my game.log.txt had a bunch of errors related to missing traffic. I then disabled the "AST Advanced SCS Traffic" mod, and it was fine. Right now, the "DP's Realistic Traffic RST" mod also crashes on 1.38.

My blue lights mod doesn't add any new files or dependencies, so removing it shouldn't cause any issues.

I didn't even think of that haha, I will test when I can!
Lonestranger  [author] 17 Jul, 2020 @ 8:29am 
@No Future It may be another mod causing the crash, then. Do you use any traffic mods? The 1.38 update will crash when 1.37 traffic mods are active.
Flatpack Future 17 Jul, 2020 @ 1:25am 
Thanks for the reply. I seem to still be crashing when loading after trying that, even though the saves no longer have the red exclamation mark by them :lunar2019deadpanpig:

I'm working on a repair to re-enable this mod for users that are having issues, so it can be activated again. In the meantime, you can manually edit the file in order to re-enable it.

In the same drive as your ATS intallation (C by default), go to Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\270880\1197165609. It may also be named Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\270880\1197165609

Open "versions.siii" with Notepad or any text editor, and add your current game version to the list. For 1.38 for example, like so:

SiiNunit
{
package_version_info : .latest {
package_name: "informational"
informational: true
}

package_version_info: .131.content {
package_name: "131_content"
compatible_versions[]: "1.29.*"
compatible_versions[]: "1.30.*"
compatible_versions[]: "1.31.*"
compatible_versions[]: "1.38.*"
}
}

I can't seem to use the method posted below to recover my save, I crash when loading in no matter what
EvanIsNearby 15 Jul, 2020 @ 6:23am 
IMPORTANT! In relation to what i said before, I fixed my save by first deactivating the mod and then unsubscribing from it. Then load your most recent save and when you load into your truck save the game to a fresh load. This creates a save that doesn't include the mod which should stop crashes regarding the mod.
EvanIsNearby 15 Jul, 2020 @ 4:58am 
My save is kinda screwed now because the mod has been discontinued. Is there a way I can play the game without it crashing after five minutes without this mod??
Crunching 14 Jul, 2020 @ 6:52pm 
I try to load and it tells me my save is dependent on this mod and that it's missing then crashes.

Lonestranger  [author] 14 Jul, 2020 @ 1:08pm 
@Rhino P90 Noob This mod is obsolete. 1.32 and newer already have improved blue lights, hence why I discontinued it.
Rhino P90 Noob 14 Jul, 2020 @ 10:07am 
Update for 1.38 Pls Thx !
[GIGN]Girl-Gamer™ 11 Jul, 2020 @ 7:36am 
(Google Translate) Don't apologize. Thank you for your excellent work, it was a real pleasure to use your mod. Good road to you hoping that you realize new mod as good.:steamhappy:
Lonestranger  [author] 10 Jul, 2020 @ 7:07pm 
Thanks you to everyone that had used and enjoyed this mod, but it is no longer useful.

I have only now realized that SCS updated the blue lights back in 2018 with version 1.32. The blue colour is now as realistic as this mod, if not superior. Therefore I have discontinued the mod and disabled it for game versions 1.32 and newer. You can safely unsubscribe and/or disable this mod and it will not "break" your save.

I'm sorry for not realizing this sooner and tending to it.

Pls Update1.37
Slow73 28 Apr, 2020 @ 7:21am 
I know this is an old mod but anyway this would work for 1.37? I think it's a good mod for those of us interested in realism.

@lonestranger not sure if you tested this with 1.30, but I noticed that your blue effect has been missing since. Checked the workshop download and the model and unit folders are only available under the 129_content folder, once I copied these over to the universal folder your mod works again.
ZONAVELHA 2 Feb, 2018 @ 3:12am 
Very cool .
Bigmack 31 Jan, 2018 @ 1:30pm

@SARP_1K-24, sorry for the late response. Yes you are correct. If the department uses all blue (or all red in some rare cases which I have seen), then yes of course it does not matter. A prime example of what you are talking about is the very city I am from. Chicago PD uses all blue except for their special response vehicles.

geht der Mod auch auf der Aktuellem Vision?

Lonestranger  [author] 22 Dec, 2017 @ 10:21am 
@KingCos19 Is your game updated to 1.29 or newer? If not, that's your issue. The beacons were reworked since the 1.29 beta, and this mod won't work with older versions. The file vehicle_redl.pmg is no longer in the base game, and this mod neither includes nor refers to it. I apologize that I haven't made this clear.

Otherwise, I know it sounds like a cop-out for me to say "it must be another mod", but it's true. You may have an older truck or trailer mod that includes the older flare model.
KingCos19 21 Dec, 2017 @ 9:42pm 
it makes my program crash all the damn time.

KingCos19 21 Dec, 2017 @ 9:42pm 
hey bub. /model/flare/vehicle_redl.pmg' wont load. know anything about this?

Looks great!
Lonestranger  [author] 17 Dec, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
@oi this guy... Since 1.29, ATS has included random roadside events such as construction, cars pulled over for speeding, and car accidents. All my mod does is change the colour of the blue lights. Aside from the last pic that does have a reskinned cop car, everything else in the screenshots above is in the vanilla game.

i dnt know there was car crashes in the game?
is it a mod?
XGrumpyDadX 14 Dec, 2017 @ 12:02pm 
@lonestar Thanks for your answer. I hope you wil release it soon. Can I be helpfull and test something for you?
Lonestranger  [author] 14 Dec, 2017 @ 11:52am 
@Mr_Catweazle I've actually already made a version for ETS 2, but I haven't released it yet. It's harder to test and take screenshots of, since police cars are less common (and I don't yet own Special Transport).
XGrumpyDadX 13 Dec, 2017 @ 4:27pm 
could you please make this for ETS2. The beacons on the police cars with the new Special Transport DLC are also purple.
