Metallic Paints - Free DLC coming soon!

For a while we have been working on enhanced system of truck paint shaders allowing for flip paint with metallic layer.

The new effect will be available alongside the standard truck paints in paint shop color selection options. It is quite a bit more sophisticated paint shader with wider setup options.

The color supports flip paint effect with metallic layer.

With this effect, the paint can combine up to 3 customizable colors which are shifting into prominence based on viewing angle.

Custom metallic paints support will be available in the next patch. It will be accompanied by a free DLC containing several ready-made paint jobs which use new effect and some additional tricks for maximum effect.

This is our way of saying thanks to all of you for your ongoing support. Once the DLC is released, you'll receive a message via upcoming World of Trucks Event system with your Steam activation code.

Holy shit, this is fucking epic, can't wait. 10/10 would spend money on.

[size=10.5pt]New countries, new opportunities[/size]

[size=10.5pt]During development of DLC Scandinavia we felt that our roads need further push of variation and fidelity.

There are tons of new assets like new highway junctions, local roads with new crossroads, or new types of roads with different lane count on each side, as it often happens in reality. The main idea off course is to make sure they actually look and feel close to their actual Scandinavian representation.

Check out the following screenshots that bring a little glimpse of how it is shaping up:[/size]

Still that "one lane forward, one lane to turn" junction on a highway... Are that kind of junction on a highway actually exist? I don't think so. It's so stupid... I don't get why they keep that when there is "two lane forward, one lane to turn" type junction in the game. Which is more realistic.

BUT If I don't count this, it looks very cool.

ETS2 Steam Achievements are live now!

[/b]


It took a longer than anticipated testing process to produce the Steam Achivements Update a.k.a Update 1.13 for Euro Truck Simulator 2, but finally, quite late tonight, we are here with the release on Steam!

The central feature new to this game update is the introduction of Steam Achievements, as described in our earlier blog post.

The rest of the changes is relatively limited and non-critical, these are only very local "diffs" implemented on top of the previous stable 1.12 and 1.11 versions:

Code
Steam achievements
Added functionality to unbind keys/buttons/axes in game ui
Added cruise control grid option
Cruise control speed limited to truck speed limit speed (if enabled)
Quickload and quicksave
Bindable keys/buttons for increasing and decreasing of radio volume
Data
Fixed speed limits in some countries (Belgium, France, Poland, Slovakia)
Fixed license plate generation in some cities (Graz, Klagenfurt, Ostrava)

From this point of view this update should not break too many mods, but your mileage may vary. If you are playing the game with mods, it is always a good idea to make backups of your profile folder structure to safeguard older save game files, and be aware of means to revert back to earlier version if you deem it desirable. This is actually very easy on Steam - we are using the system of Steam betas for keeping older releases of the game accessible.

Retail variant of this game update, of course without the Steam Achievements, will be made available in a couple of days.

For the next game update to version 1.14, the changes in code and game data will be much bigger. We are merging in changes to the game world, especially the northern parts that need to be altered for having good connections to the future region of Scandinavia. A lot of game and engine code has been changed, and 1.14 will roll in various improvements that the programming team has queued up for release over circa past 3 months. And last but not least, finally the new Euro 6 DAF truck tractor is almost ready, with the last round of iterations based on feedback from DAF Trucks N.V. getting us very close to desired quality. Testing all this mix of changes and additions is a complex procedure, please have patience with us!
