@Luijckx, thank you for your positive feedback. Have fun

@Carlitos Thanks for your reply, I'm already using it and it's simply magnificent.

@Luijckx, thanks for your feedback.
Yes, it's working normally. I've updated the description. Have fun

Does it work for version 1.53?

@Penumbra1979, thanks for the info, so we use the same resources. Have fun.

@Carlitos
Yes I was referring to the console log in the game.
I reference the game.crash.txt too, but the in-game log lets you see the errors in real-time.
You have to turn it on in the "config.cfg" in the main folder.
If you open your "active profile" folder, you can edit "controls.sii" to change the in-game console keybind.
By default I think it is the ~ key.

@Penumbra1979, thanks for your feedback.
When you say “Console Log” do you mean the console screen inside the game? I don't see it inside “\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2”, maybe I didn't activate this option or I looked in the wrong place. I try to follow it on the console screen inside the game or when it closes I check the “game.crash.txt” file.

I believe that asking on the forum is positive and can show the need to try to bring more information to help us identify the failures/errors caused by the mods in the “Console Log” (I follow the “game.crash.txt”).

@bane88 & @Carlitos

Thank you both for the fix, I've been trying to isolate the crashing issue for a week or so.
I was getting the same error message as well, and I didn't consider that it was this mod causing it, as I have so many AI traffic mods.

As I'm someone who is always looking at the "Console Log" to address warnings/errors.
I don't understand why SCS can't make the "Console Log" clearly state the name of the mod that is causing an issue.
As it knows that files are being loaded to replace the originals, you'd think it could back-trace to label the mod.

Is this something I should post in the ATS forums to get SCS attention? Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Thanks, i will add it again to game and test.

@bane88, mod has been updated. If possible, please let me know if it works for you again.

Removed arrow_xt = firefighter to make it compatible with game version 1.52*

@bane88, thanks for your feedback.
This “Firefighter” truck model already occurred in version 1.45 and had to be removed. In version 1.50 I was able to return it. I'm removing it again so that you can use it in version 1.52. It will remain removed.

Hi, under ATS 1.52 and Arkansas DLC i have this error in the log and the game is crashing:

00:02:55.402 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'ar' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmd'
00:02:55.457 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown variant name 'ar' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmd'
00:02:55.596 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown variant named 'ar' in model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmc'.
00:02:55.596 : <ERROR> [traffic_vehicle] Error computing chassis bounding box! Please check the collision file. (/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmc)
00:02:55.596 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown variant named 'ar' in model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmc'.

Without this mod there is no crashing.

Is this from you mod or some kind of incompatibility ?

@makdayzcorporation, the trucks in traffic and dealerships can appear the same model that was added smoke in the exhaust, are random, I can not avoid this situation, sorry.

Smoking when truck is not running , trucks at dealership ,not running are still smoking

Working on Beta version 1.51*

@Bonsai, are you on the current version of the game (1.50*)?
In this latest update, in order to be able to export the mod to Steam without errors, it was necessary to use SCS's new packaging tool, making the mod compatible only with version 1.50*.
The description of this mod has been updated.

it does not work foe me

@BM07, thanks for the feedback, have fun.

Nice job!

Updated to version 1.50 to return smoke to its original appearance

Thanks @maruffijd for your feedback.

@SireDragonChester, thanks for your feedback, mod has been updated, working as normal in the current 1.49* version of the game and in Beta 1.50. Have fun!

@motownmissle99, according to the description "This mod adds smoke to the exhausts of some trucks from the game's original traffic."

To add the mod to your original game truck, the mod is "Smoke in my Trucks", link in the description, it will match the description "This mod continuously adds smoke to the exhausts of all original game trucks purchased from the Truck Dealers"

does it only work on specific engines?

@cyber-theory, I tested it yesterday and didn't find any errors.
Did you just test my mod in your game?
Could you tell me what error you're seeing?

needs update

@Carlitos that sucks, thanks for doing what you were able to add.

@animefan232, some vehicles do not accept the addition of smoke, it was added to some trucks as stated in the mod description.

Dear Author, can you add smoke to all vehicles. Please and thanks.

@Seifer1968 sorry for the delay, I tried to replicate the error but I don't have the Montana DLC. Mod has been updated and removed Ambulance and Fire trucks (arrow_xt).

Good Morning to you all...
I found new errors in the city of Missoula (MT), these are the error strings:
00:18:07.239 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'mt_hw' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmd'
00:18:07.240 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'mt_hw' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai_lod1.pmd'
00:18:07.240 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'mt_hw' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai_lod2.pmd'
I hope to do well, if I am inopportune let me know ... Thanks for your work!

It's true you're right...
As soon as I have some errors, I save the file.log and tell you exactly what happens ....
Sorry my bad...

@Seifer1968, I can not replicate the error on the console. If you remember, tell me in which city you were when the error occurred so I can understand what happens.

Hi mate! Thanks so much for quick reply and very fast update.
I don't want to clarify, but I still found an error, still in that directory. Sorry but I'm a clean console maniac!! LOL..
Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks @Seifer1968 for reporting this occurrence. Updated mod. Have Fun

I found one error in console: <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'wy_gen' on model '/vehicle/ai/f350_heavy_duty/ambulance.pmd'.
Can you fix this.. Thanks so much for your work!

@CrazyDeadShaneGaming(FB), thanks for the feedback. Have fun

can we get the new western star truck smoke added to the traffic truck smoke and the smoke my truck mod thank you

It's alright.

@brancam77, I can't because the same stopped trucks are the ones moving through the traffic. Sorry.

CAN you fix truck stop trucks having smoke?

@TORNADO=BR, thanks for the feedback, compatible with 1.43, updated description.

1.43?

Not polish enough, not real

In real life there are no steam engines stacks on the train engines like the one's you have on them.
Is there any way to change them so the big stacks are not there?

@Carlitos

Still getting the "[dx11]" errors in console. Doesn't seem to be spamming the error though. Thanks for your efforts.

@quake.tony, the smoke is a game modification, it is not a priority for it to work, so at some point the game may prioritize loading some other model of the scene that is critical.

There is a problem. When I was driving the truck and saw the opposite truck smoking, its smoke disappeared before the opposite truck passed through my left window.

@Carlitos

Thank you very much for investigating these errors. I tested new version and yes the "[dx11] Vertex" error still happens. I read in your change notes that it still needs to be addressed. These seem to be random and sometimes you need to sit and let traffic pass you or drive around some before you see them. Trying to isolate those errors really has the nerd in me wondering what is causing them.

As for the AI traffic errors they are all gone now. :)

@Carlitos

Finally I found it. "vehicle/ai/" in your mod. Four or five of these types are what I am seeing errors for. They also seem to be errors related to the new Wyoming DLC which is understandable. Thank you for reading.

@Carlitos

I also isolated these console errors to this mod, at least on my end. They look like the example below...

00:58:42.534 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'amb_wy_gen' on model '/vehicle/ai/f350_heavy_duty/ambulance.pmd'
00:58:49.402 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'wy_gen' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai.pmd'
00:58:49.402 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'wy_gen' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai_lod1.pmd'
00:58:49.402 : <ERROR> [model] Unknown look name 'wy_gen' on model '/vehicle/ai/arrow_xt/ai_lod2.pmd'

I hope maybe they make sense to you :) Also, I love this mod btw just trying to help you the creator and the users.
