Hallo Grimes ZUPUTO hier °:::::°
Ich habe da mal eine Frage. Mit was wandelst du deine Texturen um. ???
Wie passt man Texturen in DX11 an ???
Und Was für Tools benötige ich, um Texturen zu bearbeiten. Seit 1.36 ist vieles neu.
Ich habe da richtig Probleme das Blender zum laufen zu bekommen.
Ich wünschte mir du würdest mal Tutorials machen wie du deine Arbeiten Planst.
und wie du vor gehst. Damit die Leute sehen können wie viel Arbeit in deiner mod steckt,
Da mit Leute mal mehr Respekt vor deiner vielen Arbeit bekommen.

Hello Grimes ZUPUTO here ° ::::: °
I’ve got a question. What do you use to convert your textures. ???
How to adjust textures in DX11 ???
And what tools do I need to edit textures. Since 1.36 a lot is new.

The textures themselves don’t need to be converted, sometimes you will have to convert an associated pmg file, you’ll get an error in the console if this is the case. You can convert pmg files by adding ‘-conversion_dump_path’ attribute to the ETS2 exe file, for example -conversion_dump_path C:\Users\Name\Desktop\conversion to send the converted files to a conversion folder on your desktop. Can’t help you with Blender as i don’t use it.

It’s down to personal taste, default HDR bloom is how it is normally in the game, it’s the glare given off by bright objects, the default mod reduces this effect, try both and see which one you prefer.

Hi Grimes !
First of all, i love your mods. Awesome work and very immersive. Perpetual summers are not for me :))
Today i installed this new Early Autumn. And i noticed this weird looking type of tree. It looks like a magical ”crystally, sugar tree”. How to explain ? And when i come closer it changes. Too bad that i can’t show you a picture.
It’s not like they are everywhere. I noticed them in the Balvi/Valmiera region in Promods Latvia.

I know for sure that Seasons is high on SCS’s priority wishlist. There is a possibility that ETS2 will be the first to get this feature and I think it will be implemented shortly after the 2023 DLC, which I think will be Ukraine, at which stage the European map will be finished as far as DLCs are concerned. I also believe that Russia and Belarus will be the 2021 DLC, followed by the Balkan countries near the Adriatic Sea in 2022. If SCS can do half as good a job with the graphics/weather as Grimes has done, well done. I will always sing the praises of Grimesmods for giving us a chance to drive in all four seasons.

It is more likely that SCS will start the process with seasons when the map DLCs are finished. It’ll be a bit more complicated having to set regional graphics and weather for example, the warmer regions like Espana, but it does snow in parts of that country during Winter, like in Navarre, Cantabria, Basque Country, Galicia, and Asturias.

Hello Grimes 🙂
First of all I’d like to say a big big thank you for your work on these mods – they are just absolutely essential for me when playing ETS2, and I am changing seasons accordingly quite often *g*.
But:
After having played with “Early Autumn 6.2 (1.38)” for a couple of days now in ETS2 1.39 without any problems (Cardiff > up to Scotland/Aberdeen > Manchester > Cambridge > Calais > La Rochelle > Le Havre > Paris – so quite some hours), I am getting now reproducable crashes.
Location: A4 from Paris to Reims, after the large bridge over the railways a couple of km before the next péage. As far as I can see from the error log, it is related to the following:
00:03:56.065 : [fs] Failed to open file ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmd’ in the read_only mode.
00:03:56.065 : [resource_task] Can not open ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmd’
00:03:56.065 : [fs] Failed to open file ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmg’ in the read_only mode.
00:03:56.065 : [resource_task] Can not open ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmg’
00:03:56.070 : [model] Model descriptor ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmd’ is malformed.
00:03:56.071 : [model] Model geometry ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmg’ is malformed.
00:03:56.071 : [fs] Failed to open file ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmd’ in the read_only mode.
00:03:56.071 : [ld] Failed to open ‘/model2/vegetation/grass/grass_green/grass_green2_blke.pmd’.
When I deactivate your mod, I can pass this point, so I went till the péage, saved there and re-entered, trying to re-activate your mod then again. But now, it crashes right from the first loading screen; so he probably already has loaded and saved whatever grass/model is causing this error before while driving.
Since 1.39 is out since a week now:
Do you plan an update for 1.39?
Or is this issue related to something else, since I was able to drive with the former 1.38-version until now?
Or might it be, that this model/grass is located exactly at this position between Paris and Reims and that I was just lucky not having got this earlier?
Thank you very much for checking and fixing 🙂

Hello Grimes,
first of all thank you very much for your great mods and great work !
I´m using “Early Autumn” since few versions for map combos in ETS & ATS and never had problems.
But since versions for 1.40 I have problems in regions on maps with forests / a lot of trees and also on narrow streets with trees on both sides.
My game jerks and twitches.
Any idea, because I didn´t had these problems in earlier versions.
Thank you for your help.

Not sure, can’t say I’ve noticed anything different with this version to previous ones, have you tried those same areas without this mod to see if you get the same results? Thick roadside vegetation will have an effect on framerates and this mod does swap out older lower resolution vegetation with newer higher res ones but that has always been the case. I’ve noticed framerate issues in certain situations in 1.40 related to traffic that I didn’t have previously, so the issues you’re having may be down to the 1.40 update rather than any mod.

Promods takes the default temperature then subtracts or adds to that value depending on geographic location, for example in arctic regions it will subtract -30c, in subarctic areas it will subtract -20. You can change these values by opening promods def scs and editing the climate.promods.sii file.
