Correct positioning of add-on parts

[Radar]

Adding accessories and adjusting the positioning

This edit will work for lights as well as other accessories such as Bull bars extra mirrors etc.

Add the accessory to your truck or trailer folder.
Then open the trailer description file and add another access line in numerical sequence and add the name of the accessory.
i.e. if adding more flares : -

extdefs "/makes/trailer_base.def"

def trailer:/trailer_base {

# ingame name
name:"@@tn_dryvan@@"

# accessories list
access0:"base"
access1:"flares"
access2:"backl"
access3:"lblinker"
access4:"rblinker"
access5:"brakel"
access6:"wheelr0"
access7:"flares1"

}


(If you wish to add the part permanently to the truck follow the same procedure as for the trailer.)

start the game check and the accessory part in the showroom
(if the part is for the truck you will have to buy it at the in game truck store)

If the part is miss aligned you will need to edit the part desc file
Look for the line that reads offset:"<0 0 0>"

These are the position numbers the first 0 is the left & right axis the second the vertical axis the third forwards and backwards.

Great info again Radar, There is a file that came from the Japaniese site with a lot of the offsets for his or their work. I have a copy of it and Richard has a copy as well..

[Radar]

I do to now, i wish i had seen it before as it would have saved hours of fiddling about.

Or you could just do it with Zmod, much easier.

It depends if u have zmod, and know how to use it.

[Karl]

Moving things around with zmod is easy enough, and it must be quicker than using those offsets

[Nuttertrucking]

It proberly is.
