    Hello all, I'm back with a new mod, and this time it's not a skin or some joke mod. I've been working on a real mod for the past week or so.

    It's a mod of the class 8 heavy duty semi-truck, the Mack Anthem! Nobody stepped out to make a mod of it, so here I am doing it myself after doing alot of research about modding. Let the pictures roll!

    secret message: this mod might or might not be included with loads and even trailers from ats in a future update
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Please note that this will be my first vehicle mod, so please expect bad deformations at initial release.

    Random QnA (just questions that I think would be asked in this thread)

    Q: Will it have skin support?
    A: Yes, but skin support will not be available in the initial release. It is planned though.

    Q: Can you add this part?
    A: No. This mod will only include vanilla ATS parts for the Anthem. (I also can't take the models of mods made for the Anthem in ATS)

    Q: When will it release?
    A: There is no confirmed release date, I'm trying to take my time.

    Q: Can you make it's fictional name [this]?
    A: While I'm indeed am trying find a better fictional name, check post #75 on page 4 to see the names that'll most probably be the official fictional name of it. But it doesn't mean yours won't be selected as I most probably will change up my mind if you submit a better, more fitting name.

    Q: Why is it on hold?
    A: There are multiple reasons for that, my last "long" message on this thread should explain it, but I'm just gonna say this since that message is a little bit outdated on the info... It's also because of idiots asking me for the meshslaps in BeamNG kids videos...

    Q: How's the progress (as of 12/28/2022)?
    A: Can you please stop asking this. Barely any especially since my school hasn't given us a Christmas break this year for some reason.

    Notes:
    -The mod will have 2 versions, one will be set on the T-Series frame so you can combine it with other mods, the second version will be it's own vehicle on it's own frame with no T-Series mod compatibility. This might or might not be scrapped due to many T-Series mods (including big ones with upfits) breaking it.
    -I need help with naming.
    -I also need help with the steering wheel.

    Currently it is, but the initial release will have edited jbeam that will actually fit the mesh.

    Yes, although as I said in the notes that I need a 3D Gavril logo, and frankly enough there isn't a 3D Gavril logo present in any Gavril vehicle in the game, unless you count the T-Series hood emblem (which is literally just a button with Gavril lettering) and I don't want to use that.

    I like the idea, I will probably choose that as the name if I can't find better ones.
    I don't know, Gavril seems to be more fitting for it.

    I've got some few suggestions here but you choose which one fits better

    Gavril M-Series (M just stands for Mack / Mac / Mak Series)
    Gavril Anthem
    Gavril C-Series (Colossal Series)
    Gavril S-Series (Strong / Super / Staunch) - My Favourite One

    Now for the logo either remove the "MACK" and replace it with the Gavril logo or simply leave it a blank



    And for the hood ornament its either a letter G with a wing on it like this one



    Or leave it a blank

    And you can do the same thing with the Steering wheel logo too

    I've been working on the fuel tanks, I got almost all of them in and after that I'll do the sideskirts and then the license plate (plus the chromed large bumper), I kinda want to share big progress all at once instead of small progress frequently for now.
    I like most of those, but the problem is that none of the Gavril logos have a 3D model. They're all 2D textures with normal maps, I can only put them on the badge and the steering wheel as a normal map, but for the front emblem I need a 3D logo. I dont want to leave it blank btw i really like the name "gavril colossal"
