Haulin' Patch/Mods

[Coxster]

Does anyone know when the patch for use with downloaded copies of the game will be made available? The current one says it is for the retail version only.

Also do you need to extract a file like PTTM before you can install mods?

extract base.scs just like pttm if u wanna edit.

U will find mydocs/18woshaulin/mod folder and put all ur mods in there.

I have extracted the base.scs file to my My Documents\18woshaulin folder and it now looks like the image below. I have downloaded a DHL double trailer file off of 3dartpol and it says it includes a truck aswell as the trailers. Where would I now put the files? On Truckpol people are talking about how you need to do something more complicated than simply putting files in folders. I think it said if you are adding standalone trucks (like the DHL one I mentioned) you have to add it to the truck_storage_sii file?!

Also should I remove the base.scs file from My Documents\18woshailin as my PTTM folder doesn't have one in it.

For Standalone trucks you will have to update the truck sii file & the traffic sii (if you want the AI to drive it as well)

Then zip them at store/0 compression using winrar & place the new file in the mod folder in My documents/18 WoS Haulin.

There is a tutorial for this lower down the forum.

I have found that adding to many files to mod folder slows the game down, so when happy that the addon is working ok i add it to the main .scs file in the programme folder. ( DO NOT do this unless you are very sure on how the files work) i find doing this has no effect on the normal game speed because files are only being loaded once instead of the base.scs 1st then the mod folder.

The DHL download just says to put the three .scs files into the mod folder and nothing about a truck.sii file. Not only that but I cannot even find a truck.sii file! It was by far easier in Pedal to the Metal LOL ;D

Also as asked previously, should I remove the base.scs file from My Documents\18woshaulin as my PTTM folder doesn't have one in it. I still have the original on in Program Files\18woshaulin.

Nop don't remove base

The base.scs should be in the Haulin programme folder not My Documents!
