Probleme mit Sonderfahrzeug-Pack

Zitat von Biffer

That said, however, the yellow/blue lights do not function, even though the graphic for the switches is showing correctly on the Sprinter's dash.

Do you mean the lights don't light up? Strangely, the logfile doesn't really say anything helpful and the warnings and errors aren't directly connected to your described issue. Maybe try installing the mod on a freshly reinstalled Sprinter?

Some things I've noticed in the instructions:-

Step 7c (Emergency Version) and Step 6b (Maintenance Version): It says to change the path below [MODEL] to 'model_MB_312D ... ', but in the screenshot, it shows the highlighted text as, 'model\model_MB_312D ... '. Of course, the correct method is to use the word 'model' twice, but this did cause some confusion first time round.

Step 6 (Maintenance Version): It says to open the MB_312D_sd_FW.bus file and rename to MB_312D_sd_WW.bus. I thought this might be a typo and instead renamed a copy of MB_312d_sd_.bus to MB_312D_sd_WW.bus, to keep the procedure consistent with the Emergency version. Is this where I went wrong ???

You have indeed spotted a few tiny mistakes I made! While the first error is present in both German and English instructions, the second one only exists in the English translation. Luckily, the screenshots show the right entries.

Thanks, again, Alexander,

Yes, that's exactly the problem: the roof-mounted lights are in the correct place, and so are the switches to control them. However, since the control switches do not work, the llights cannot be switched on. To be clear, I don't mean that the switches work, but the lights don't light up. I mean, the switches are totally inert and don't even react to the mouse cursor.

I'll try your suggestion of a fresh reinstall of the Sprinter. Question: is there a specific model or download site that you would recommend? I can't remember where I found it, but the Sprinter I use was upgraded/modified by a member on here called Worfi.

Hi Alexander!

Success (at last)! Pleased to report that all versions of the Sprinter are now up and working as you intended. It took three attempts at re-installing the Sprinter files (don't ask ), but it worked in the end. Thank you so much for your patience and help with this. Your mod adds a whole new dimension to OMSI.

I'm hoping to teach myself how to do repaints, and would like to add your mod to any that I create. Would that be OK with you?

One last question ... can you advise me as to which files/folders control the flash-rate of the blue/yellow front grille lights? I'm not sure if these are strobe lights in Germany, but here in the UK they definately are, and they pulsate much faster than in your mod. Also, they mostly flash in sequence, left/right, rather than flashing together, as in the mod. Again, if it's OK with you, I'd like to try altering the values to make these strobe faster (assuming that this can be done, of course).

Best regards,

Andy (a.k.a., Biffer)

Glad to hear it's working for you!

Well, you can do anything you want with that mod. You don't have to add the mod to each repaint, instead you can add your repaints to the appropriate repaint folder.

The script files for each vehicle can be found in Script\Blaulicht,
