short Container Trailer ETS2

[Woha]

Hello I hope it is ok to create here a new Thread.

If I see haubers on EU roads mostly with short Trailers cause the lenght Regulation.
This paired with the wish to have an own Trailer in game gets me to ask here if it would be possible to add a short Container Trailer Special for US trucks.

To get the own Trailer feeling I tought about to have allways an empty Version of this Trailer awaylable.
I get a Container Job and the delivery if there is no more Container that I can deliver I can choose an empty Version of my Trailer to drive for 1€ to City x were I can grab a new Job.

To get it more real regarding tire costs a possibility to Chose if I want to drive an
2axes Trailer with my 6x4 or 6x2 Truck

or a 3 axe Trailer with my 4x2 Truck

The different axe types are just an example go get it more rl regarding costs/tire and weight per axe... if this would be too much work than skip it but what you guys think about this Idea would be fine to know.

Cheers Woha

Oh thanks I'm sure I will. :)

But I never moded stuff so atm I am watching and reading Infos to get them closer.

What I wasn't able to find math behind all that. How the Company/Trailer selection in new Jobs work for example.

My plan is to start first with some Skins and getting closer to the Folders and data behind.
Then I try to make Company Name stickers that works like a addon on truck with each type of painting.
simple stuff like this here
The Renault Magnum from Alex used a System like that on Sunshield.
And if I am not frustrated and crazy I try the Trailers to get a own Company feeling:)

Do you want these trailers in ATS or ETS2?

-----> def\cargo\ <---- here are all cargo files.

If you want all cargos form the game, you should extract the def.scs - file

-----> Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\def.scs <---- scs extractor

-----> Add all cargo files to the trailer folder. <---- def\cargo\

-----> Delete all sii - files inside the cargo folder <---- ( search: sii) Now you have only empty folders!

You can add now the new trailer types to these folders. ( Use the cargo file from trailer mod. You need the sii - files.)

Empty trailers should be present in all cargo folders, if you want to drive empty. Simply choose what trailer you want >In Game<!
