Released Full trailer and T-series offroad parts version 1.4

No more connecting dollys to create a road train!
Adds Full trailer versions of the vanilla trailers, i.e. a dry van with a built in front axle. The front axle can be either a single bogie or a tandem bogie.
There are also more options for the rear bogies, not just the ordinary single bogie, but tandem, tridem, quad, and spread bogies!

As for the T-series, there are fuel and air tanks with higher ground clearance, as well as extra lights for dark nights!

Please leave feedback, and if anything is not working, please leave details about the part configuration and what is the problem!



All assets are originally created by BeamNG, repurposed by me.

 

Nice

What about the offroad parts?

 

i think the offroad parts are the raised fuel and air tanks aswell as the lightbars

 

I think it's fine that you've built upon my 4axle bogie, but proper modding etiquette would be to give credit where it's due.

 

Hmm, I see what you mean. I can assure you I written all code myself though, and only built upon existing BeamNG files. But disclaimer, this is the first time I ever created, or released a mod, so I'm also new to the modding world and don't know much about modding etiquette.

I checked out your bogie, and while we have the same idea, one big difference is that mine doesn't even work with vanilla trailers (not sure why), probably because I built them for the "full trailer" variant.
I wouldn't mind adding a link to yours for recommended use with vanilla trailers, though?

I see that you also have made a 3 axle dolly. Would you allow me to use that and refit it as a front axle? With credit of course.

 

That's fair, it's reasonable to assume the code will be quite similar if following the preexisting vanilla code conventions and using logical progression. The quad axle was my first mod and upon further inspection it looks like you fixed an issue I had with it in which I had to use a hacky workaround (making the fourth axle nodes have no selfCollision as this was causing a sticking issue). Well done, same changes I would have made if I were to go back and redo it. Sorry for being so hasty, instead I should be crediting you with "bugfixes" even though they don't really manifest themselves in anyway.

It would seem as though your quad would work just fine with vanilla trailers if offsets and bogie rail attachments mirrored vanilla content, you have you're own bogierail though so you would likely need separate bogies for both vanilla content and your own DryVan.

Of course, go for it. I would double check the code as the dolly actually snuck it's way into an update but it should be fine. Be sure to include everything in your own mod so as not to introduce dependencies.

 

Hi, SkyDrive. :3 Do you have any plan that making the Flatbed variant Full Trailer?

Speaking to the problem about the air tanks, Here're some pictures

 

Thank you for understanding. I may check your code if I have time, now I'm curious about the workaround!

Yeah, the bogie rail was my solution to the original not being where I wanted it to be (and too short?), and I guess that that just offsets everything else as well!
I have no plans on fixing this for the vanilla dry van, but if you saw something in the code that would help your quad bogie, feel free to reuse it!

Thank you! I may send a DM with some questions, feel free to answer if you have time!

Thansk for the idea, I may actually take a look at that!

Thank you, that explains the problem.
If you spawn with the vanilla air tanks, you will see that they also clip through - the air tanks you have chosen here were made with the cabover in mind.
The air tanks for the conventional truck is under "Right Side Step", where you have a 370L tank.
If you press the three bars down left ("more options") and tick "Display names" you will see that they were named including "conv" and "cabov" in the name - I have updated the visible names, and will probably push out an update later today.

What I may try to do is placing the air tanks on or in front of the air filter, if that is something you'd like?

This is a Lead trailer

 

It works well with my truck. Thank you so much for this great mod! But when I add load, the hitch towing causes deformation

 

Maybe. :3
Oh, there's somethings I wanna walk about these:
-For the Trailers' Bogie axles, Will you make them capable with vanilla trailer of Flatbed & Dryvan ??
-For The T-Series, Will you make more Offroad Parts on the Conventional and the Cab-Over??

 

what truck do u use?

 

Looks like Potent

 

The picture is not visible?

Does the same deformation happen with a vanilla truck?

Are those UI apps vanilla? Seems like they would be helpful!

I haven't planned to make them compatible with the dryvan, but doesn't TripleAye's Trailer Expansion already do that?
I may do the same thing with flat bed trailers as I did with the dry van, but that's not planned right now, as I haven't used the flat bed trailer as much.
I don't really have any plans for t-series parts either, what I have released was what I mainly wanted for myself!

 

okay
