for clarification, use either post mod or new industry mod but not both?

it cant work
Oldhip 28 Apr, 2018 @ 9:11pm 
Dont think it works, not for me anyway and I spent hours on it.

So, this mod will allow me to haul mail in any vehicle that carries goods? Is that correct? I'm sorry I'm very confused
jhughes 21 Mar, 2018 @ 8:14am 
@EmperorDarthSidious this mod only modifies vehicles to carry mail.. You need some mod that produces mail to carry in the first place (New Industry or Post Mod Beta) first.

Thank you ;) Ooow and by the way, can this mod also be used as stand-alone ? You see, I'm not using the New Industry or Post Mod Beta because the postmod Beta isn't stable yet, and with the new industry mod (latest version) loading vehicles seems to go even slower then in the original game...sorry for asking things twice man.

Thanks

@ChancellorPalpatine: That mail-beetle will available at the following vehice mods.
Postfahrzeuge EU (Add-on - Post Mod von nown) [www.transportfever.net]
Postfahrzeuge USA (Add-on - Post Mod von nown) [www.transportfever.net]

That vehicle mods are originally combined with Post Mod von nown (Release Version) [www.transportfever.net].
This add-on mod allows you to combine that vehicle mods with New Industry 2.54 or Post Mod BETA von nown .

Are all these advanced features on by default or do I really need TPF Mod Manager to set them on ?

Edit:

I have downloaded the Mod Manager and enabled everything, but I still don't see the new vehicles. I would love to see that mail-beetle in my game as well...

Maybe if you work with vom nown you guys figure it out?

But no problem by me, I'm playing with the mod and think it is very unbalanced. Makes the game too easy. Maybe I stop using it later.

Thanks for your attention and work. =)
overcomeon  [author] 27 Jan, 2018 @ 9:25am 
@Blackdragonbird: Perhaps it is another reason.
The cargo is rendered based on the "loadIndicator" parameter specified for each cargo type.
Since the "loadIndicator" parameter is defined for each vehicle, it seems that the ability to render mails is limited to vehicles that support mail directly.

Although I experimented with a method of rendering goods instead of mail by copying the "loadIndicator" parameter for goods, it has not succeeded.
Blackdragonbird 27 Jan, 2018 @ 8:42am 
It's working now. Thank you. =)

A pitty mail don't render, maybe it is why all the vehicles from the Post Mod are closed ones?
overcomeon  [author] 27 Jan, 2018 @ 5:55am 
@Blackdragonbird: The mail is not rendering. (loadIndicator does not work.)
I have disabled the experimental code. The goods will be rendered normally, so please try it.
Blackdragonbird 27 Jan, 2018 @ 2:18am 
Thank you very much for the update. But I have to ask, it is supposed to happen?

These horses are carrying planks, plastic and goods, plastic and planks show ok, but the goods are not rendering. I haven't tested if the mail render correctly.

@overcomeon you rock man. I'm gonna have to play around with them options
overcomeon  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 8:09pm 
@mairondil: I updated the description so please look over there.
mairondil 26 Jan, 2018 @ 7:31pm 
I see the new update. I had just posted to Post mod BETA's discussion page about some fixes for Post mod BETA to get it working and VOILA! the author of this mod update's his to work as well. Kudos overcomeon. What else did you add in there? I'm seeing several changes
overcomeon  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 6:12pm 
@Blackdragonbird: I updated this MOD, so please try it.
overcomeon  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 5:46pm 
@Blackdragonbird: OK, I will update this MOD in STEAM soon.
Blackdragonbird 26 Jan, 2018 @ 12:12pm 
Any possibility you launch a pre-version with support for the version 1.01 in another site? The old version BETA of Post Mod is too broken to use it.

And i would love to use any freight vehicle to transport mail instead of the ones selected by von nowm.

I tried to edit the files of your mod myself to use for me, but I have no knowledge of lua, can't add the other cargo, only change it, from mail to usorted mail and vice versa, the vehicles can't show the 2 cargo types. =(
overcomeon  [author] 15 Jan, 2018 @ 9:30am 
@SoftwareSimian: Thank you for your information.
I am already testing to support the Final Release version.
I plan to update this add-on mod as soon as Final Release is uploaded to Steam.
SoftwareSimian 15 Jan, 2018 @ 8:59am 
@overcomeon: just a heads-up that v1.0 of nown's Post Mod (not yet posted on Steam, but available on transportfever.net ) now has two cargo types, both "MAIL" and "UNSORTED_MAIL". You should check for "UNSORTED_MAIL" in game.config.cargotypes and if present then add both cargotypes to vehicles.
Blackdragonbird 5 Jan, 2018 @ 10:30am 
I didn't noted that these two are requeriments. Thank you, I will subscribe to these two and look at it. =)
overcomeon  [author] 5 Jan, 2018 @ 10:09am 
@Blackdragonbird:
> I don't have any mod that change industries or vehicles, only graphical ones.

Have you enabled the following MODs for change Industries? Mail appears by enabling these Industry MODs.

New Industry 2.54
Post Mod BETA von nown
Blackdragonbird 5 Jan, 2018 @ 5:12am 
@overcomeon, I subscribed to your mod but for some reason mail don't show in my game. I don't have any mod that change industries or vehicles, only graphical ones. Still, I put your mod in the end of the line, or is it not necessary?
overcomeon  [author] 29 Dec, 2017 @ 9:05am 
@mjsharp16: Cannot pick up at passenger station, like other type of cargoes...
mjsharp16 29 Dec, 2017 @ 7:01am 
can this be picked up at passenger stations??? are just cargo
Abbittibbi 20 Nov, 2017 @ 9:53am 
Mail! Thank you.

I don't understand why this cargo type was not included with the original game...
overcomeon  [author] 19 Nov, 2017 @ 2:39pm 
@vitaro: Thank you, and I'm grateful to yours MOD always!!
overcomeon  [author] 19 Nov, 2017 @ 2:35pm 
@nown, Good news!!
I'm looking forward to the final version release of your MOD.
Vitaro 19 Nov, 2017 @ 10:54am 
Cool !!
nown 19 Nov, 2017 @ 9:54am 
super feature! i have to try it! in the final version of the Post Mod (release planned in 1-2 weeks) there will be many vehicles capable of transporting mail, but with your add-on it will be more interesting to have much more vehicles to do the job! thank you!
