Hey all, with the Ownable Gas Cisterns coming in 1.47, I wanted to get a little ahead of that and answer the inevitable questions coming my way. I've opted into the 1.47 Open Beta and so far it appears there are only the Single and B-Double chain type. So if I find the energy/drive to eventually update these B-Double mods, Gas Cisterns will be in it.

Additionally, I am officially placing both of my TPD mods on hiatus. There's a lot going on in my life right now that's draining a lot of energy from me and I just simply do not have the drive to update any of my trailer mods right now. In all honesty, I'm giving thought to just simply closing my trailer mods altogether. There are other trailer mods that do what I do to an equal, lesser, or even greater extent. My trailer mods, while relatively simple in what's done to make them work, are tedious for me to update/maintain. With other better mods out there, I don't even use my own trailer mods anymore.

Does this mean I'll stop making mods or updating my other mods entirely? I can't say for sure. My Foodtank Cargo mod is also fairly tedious to maintain. My other smaller mods aren't as tedious, such as the Unrestricted Air Horn and Slower Blinker mods. My Expanded Wheel Tuning mod can get tedious at times as well, but not nearly to the extent as my trailer mods or Foodtank cargo mod. Time will tell I suppose, if I stop modding this game or simply maintain a few of my mods.

Regardless of what happens, it's been a great time. I'm glad I could bring some additional joy to this game for so many of you with my simple mods. I wish all of you the best, and safe travels.

This mod and its singleplayer counterpart are both on hiatus. I don't know when I'll get around to updating them. Sorry.

Hi can you make more configuration on scs gas takers granel and more because they still to small. Bitten trailer from scs thank

That would require doing custom models, which I don't do, sorry. I only work with definition files (a type of text file the game uses) to make these combos.

You may want to check out Big B's & Axles and Expanded Trailer Combinations & it's companion mod No State Restrictions - Expanded Trailer Combinations Add On all by Gdog900. His mods may have that combo somewhere in them.

When you do get back into these mods could you please add 48'+48' 4 axle combo across the board as we now have them here in australia.
cheers.

ok thank you

I'll take a look at it next time I play then and if there's anything to be done, I'll add it whenever I get the energy/drive to work on this mod again.

single Lodeking/Prestige grainhopper is longer than rear in double

If SCS gave any DLC trailers a B-Double config and there are longer chassis' available to add onto the B-Double, yes. The Lodeking/Prestige DLC for example I believe has a B-Double for one of the Grainhopper trailers, however, I can't recall if there are any longer Grainhopper chassis' from that DLC. If there aren't, then there's nothing for to do with it. Otherwise, no, as I don't do 3D model editing.

dlc trailers will also be added??

Updating descriptions, while significantly less work than creating new combos, also grates on the mind a bit. Notepad++ makes all of the work a little easier as it's more organized & there are tools in the program which help immensely in cutting down some of the repetition, though again, it's just tedious. It's not easy, for me at least, staring at a bunch of text in text documents for a couple hours on end. If I step away to take a break, I lose where I was & what I was doing (damn you ADD/ADHD! D:< ), which typically leads to errors that I later find in testing, occasionally stumping me for a bit before my mind slowly transitions back into "modding mode" & I spot & fix the errors.

So, the main issue for me is pushing past that initial slog of updating the main mod. Once the main mod is done, the TMP version isn't as bad to do. I can't say when I'll get around to updating the B-Double mods, but I do promise they WILL get updated eventually.

Safe travels,

Just wanted to pop in here on my B-Double mods & give an update:

If you're wondering if this mod & its TMP counterpart were abandoned, the answer is... Technically, no. They are abandoned in the sense that I just don't have the drive/energy to update them after making updates to my TPD mods. However, this doesn't mean I won't ever update them again.

Updating these combo mods takes a lot of energy out of me. I try & put a fair amount of effort & detail into them, namely custom UI icons for each combo. While they're not at all difficult to make, they are tedious & a little time consuming. Definition file work, the primary part of the mods that makes them even work as they are to begin with, is especially tedious & can easily begin to grate on the mind. The TMP Nationwide versions aren't as draining to do. They're as simple as changing a few words in each combo file & renaming each file. Significantly less work than making the main mod. 1/2

I would greatly appreciate if you did but if you don't I'll understand

I've given thought to it in the past, but if I was gonna do it, it'd be it's own mod. I probably won't though.

Do you think that you could add a third trailer to this? Example a B-triple, A-B Triple,
{ https://abstrailquip.com/image/catalog/truck_combinations.JPG } for TMP, anyway Thanks for your time

ATTENTION
The mod is fully compatible with 1.41 and does not need updating. I will, however, be updating the mod description to mark any necessary notes regarding Convoy mode and my mods.

Please check back later, maybe several hours from now, as the Convoy mode notes being added to the description will be important to read.

Please see the comment previous to yours...

1.40 ?

Completely forgot to announce that the mod is compatible with 1.40 and the no files were changed that need updating. Whoops, lol.

@AngelsBreath As the title and description would suggest, yes. You can use them on TMP. The mod was made with TMP compatibility in mind.

So, are we able to use this mod on TMP? I can handle the trailers well in single player.

This mod is compatible with 1.39. No files were changed that need updating.

This mod is compatible with 1.38. No files were changed that need updating.

This mod is compatible with 1.37. The new ownable Food Tank trailers do not have a B-Double chassis, so this mod will not support them.

gonna have some fun with this love long hauls with long trailers

@ShiftySquirrel SCS hasn't made tanker trailers ownable yet, so they won't be in the mod until SCS makes them ownable. And that's also reliant on if they even add a "hook" or B-Doule chassis for them. No dedicated "hook" or B-Double chassis, no addition to my mods.

IMHO though, they should have made them ownable with Utah, since they made so much of a point about Utah having an oil industry, and included Frac Tanks as a Freight Market load... Plenty of Chemso and Gallon Oil prefabs through the map to support ownable tankers. :/ But, oh well. Hopefully in the future they do make them ownable, and hopefully they'll have the proper chassis' needed for inclusion in my mods.

Thank you, I'd of love to seen tankers in the line up, but i can wait

Thank-you for all your hard work mate,appreciate it.Happy Trails......CJ
