Released Central Europe Plates 1.2

Does this mod only work with vanilla vehicles?

 

Standard European plates (52x11 cm) work with every vehicle that supports them. However, all new plate sizes added in my mod work only with all vanilla cars + some modded cars. The current list of supported modded cars can be seen below:

In the left - cars supported with current version (1.2), in the right - cars that I'll add support for in the next version (1.3)

 

Hello, is there a way to have Engschrift numbers on the German DIN plates?

 

ive noticed that the red din plates are slightly off center on the 33x11, 42x11 and 46x11 sizes
33x11
42x11
46x11

 

Hey, are 40x11cm/400x110mm German plates planned? They're the only ones missing and it would be cool to see them, that way we could have X:XX 1/XX:X 1/X:X 11 Mittelschrift plates in BeamNG. I know this is super niche but it would be awesome to see them haha

 

These would be pretty cool, I would like to see the 360mm plates getting implemented into the game aswell.

 

Hi, i have a question, how to set green and red sticker on Czechia license plate? I cant find "yellow license plate".

 

@karlkoxxx, you'll have to select "Rear License Plate (CZ, D, H, SK)" as "Rear license plate" option in the vehicle customization menu (you can use the search bar). Or if you have JorgePinto's European Plate Compilation mod installed, you can also select "Rear Yellow License Plate". It works with all vanilla cars and some modded cars.
That lets you have a different plate on the back - by default with one (red) sticker. If you want to have two stickers (red and green), you'll have to add "|S2" (without quotation marks) after the registration number, e.g. "6A3-7985|S2".

Regarding your questions about German plates, I can't answer them at this moment, because German plates are currently undergoing a rework by RealVector. So, for the July update (which probably will be released at the end of the month), I'll only add support for Engschrift (narrow font) numbers on DIN plates and fix the bug with red DIN plates. Please don't forget that adding more plate sizes requires a lot of work, especially when the list of supported cars becomes bigger.

Good news: I passed all of my exams.
Also, I've just finished my work on pre-1992 Romanian plates, here are some screenshots of them:

Old Hungarian plates will be next.

 

As you might have noticed, since version 0.36 there's a limit for number of characters - you can't input more than 10 characters in the "License plate" field, which practically makes it impossible to e.g. select a custom validity date for German temporary/export plates.

But there's a solution for that: while in the part selection menu (Ctrl-W), open the console with a tilde (~) key and select "GE - Lua" in the bottom left. Then, type in the following function:
core_vehicles.setPlateText("FF:042891|100725")
Replace the text in quotation marks with your desired number (it can be longer than 10 characters). Confirm with "Enter" key. It should work now.

Alternative solution: while in the parts selection menu, open the console, then select "CEF/UI - JS" and paste the following code:
document.getElementsByTagName("input")[1].maxLength = 50
Confirm with Enter key. Now, it will be possible to input more than 10 characters in the "License plate" field. Unfortunately, it works until you close the menu - you'll have to issue this command again in order to be able to change the plate again.

If you wanted to know about current mod progress, at this moment I'm extracting letters and numbers from photos of pre-1990 Hungarian plates. I'll have to create 4 different fonts, because:

• front plates used a thinner font, with letters slightly wider than numbers
• probably around 1984, a font has been changed: before then the characters, especially on rear plates, were thicker than on 1984-1990 plates

We all hope this issue mentioned before will be fixed as soon as possible.

 

Really like this mod! But could you add and old type for Lisence Plates or at least German one?

 

Showcase of my latest progress with older types of Hungarian license plates:

Hungarian plates will be available in 3 sizes: 30x9 cm (front), 36.5x21.5 cm (rear) and 23x21 cm (rear).
I've also implemented a way to use narrow numbers on DIN plates.
I think it's all for now regarding plate types, so it's time for me to add support for new plate sizes to existing cars. The update will be released probably somewhere around 10th August - 15th August.

 

I dont know if this is just an issue on my end but the 52x12 black polish plates are way brighter than the 52x11 ones

 

This is an issue that came with update 0.35. BeamNG applied the materials of the US plates to the EU plates and now all the colours look off on textures that were made before the update. The custom models in this mod still use the pre-0.35 materials, so that's the reason for the colour difference

 

This is actually very interesting, because in the current version (0.36.4) everything works as it should on my PC (the image below), even after cleaning the cache. I've also changed the graphics quality from Normal to High or Ultra - there's still no issue. I would like to know if more players also have the same problem or it works correctly on their machines.

And what's funny, it's a complete opposite of what happened when the game got updated to version 0.35 - in my case, only the default EU plates had brighter colors (example: red font on a Polish temporary plate that I posted before). The current version of my mod (1.2) already includes a fix of the default EU license plate material (vehicles/common/licenseplates/driver_training folder), so now both the default and modded plate models should use the same type of material and theoretically, it should work fine. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it, as I don't know if it's caused by other mods, graphics settings or configuration - bugs of these type are hardest to fix. Maybe someone who's familiar with license plate mod creation will find a solution.

 

ooh good thing you say this, because this mod caused some issues for me when I was trying out my mods. The colours had all been on the "new" system but randomly switched back sometimes and I couldn't figure out why...

 

Hey, any infos about 40x11cm plates for the German small plate format? Like "XX:X 1"/"X:XX 1"
