Real Emergency Traffic pack v1.0 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 game
This mod add emergency Ai traffic with beacon and personalized country sounds.
Features and possible issues:
-emergency vehicles drive faster with my traffic density mod, emergency having separate speed_class,
however they obey to local signs for speed limits and to semaphore red lights.
perhaps scs will make real emergency vehicles in the future of course other Ai ignore their visual and acoustic signal
-some Ai have same skins in different countries (following the same national language)
sorry I don't know yet how to make proper skins
-sounds of the vehicles is set to a distance of 100 m, if you want to edit this you can
change it in the sound files from unit/hookup folder
-the sound have a fade in/out effect in 3of4 situations, when the emergency vehicle is stopped or
slow driving and you are on the move, when you are stopped and Ai is on the move,
when you and the Ai are driving in the same direction.
The only situation where I have no fade in/out effect is when you meet emergency vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, unfortunately I could not find the right sound numbers to
get a fade in/out effect, good luck if you want to try!
- the emergency vehicles with sound can be seen and heard at road events.
while at large road events these are really nice having also the sound fade in/out effect,
however it may be considered not too realistic at small road events. I don;t know if there is
any way to select them only for large road events, I will try to find out. meantime if you don't
want emergency vehicles at road events, you can remove the following files from
unit/hookup folder: parked_vehicle.sii for police, and/or special_vehicles.sii for ambulances and firetrucks
-the ATS ambulance with no sound will spawn in all countries with low ratio,
you can modify and add spawn_ratio: 0 if you want (modify the existent
low ratio in def/vehicle/ford_f350_ambulance_mute.sii)
Other possible issues:
-despite the balanced spawn numbers in countries defs between police, ambulance and firetruck,
the game seems to have issues in following correctly the spawn numbers
(e.g. in Hungary I noticed much more ambulances than firetrucks and police
and in Russia much more police cars than the other two)
-Romanian emergency vehicles may conflict with Romanian map mods, this
is not on purpose simply I had no time to check all existent Romanian maps for their included Ai vehicles...
