[HIATUS] Multiple B-Double Chassis+Axle Options TMP Nationwide

In 1 collection by Sanguinem Luna
SCS Owned Trailer Combo Mod Collection

Description
ATTENTION:
Both of my B-Double mods are officially being put on hiatus. They are NOT abandoned. I just do not know when I'll have the drive/energy to update them. Please check the comments for an explanation I posted on July 26, 2022. Thank you for understanding.

DISCLAIMER
I am NOT responsible if you choose to take exceedingly long trailers into TMP and are punished for not being able to handle them.

TruckersMP Compatibility & Warnings
This pack is TMP compatible. As the title suggests.

Convoy Mode Compatibility & Warnings
This mod is compatible with Convoy mode. Simply enable the mod like any other and enjoy! However, I highly recommend using the singleplayer version of the mod. You can find that linked lower in the description, above the mod credits.

Introduction & Description
This mod adds B-Doubles to the Single trailer chain-type and adds every possible Chassis+Axle combination for B-Doubles into the Trailer Shop under the "Chassis" section for Single trailers. By using the Single trailer chain-type, it allows you to take jobs to and from every state in TruckersMP with B-Doubles.

Note 1: The below combinations are only using the 3-axle B-Double Chassis as the lead trailer. The 3-axle B-Double chassis is realistic, and it also makes far more sense when using longer rear trailers as it would create more stability. Refer to B-Train Wikipedia[en.wikipedia.org]

Note 2: The only trailers with a "B-Double Chassis", at this point in time, are the 28' (Box & Flatbed), 30' (Container Chassis), and 32' (Grainhopper) trailers. There are no other ownable B-Double chassis' currently in the game.

Features
Here's a complete list of the Chassis+Axle options:

32'+50' 3 Axle Spread

Sidenote
Once SCS Software updates and adds more trailers as ownable trailers, depending on if whether or not those trailers have the appropriate chassis, chassis length, and axle options, I'll update the mod with more combinations. It's all waiting on SCS as I don't really experiment with attempting to make non-ownable chassis' work.

Mod Theft
It has begun. I never wanted to add this kind of section to the description to my mods... But of course, some people lack common courtesy. So, here goes:
If you see my mods on any external website, and I have not personally linked it in any of my mods' comments or descriptions here on the Steam Workshop, please DO NOT download it. I cannot guarantee it has not been edited or altered in any way, maliciously or otherwise. Additionally, the mod may be hosted on a site like Sharemods, where every download generates a small amount of money for the uploader. Therefore, the person who stole the mod would be profiting off my work.

I do not lock my mod files because I personally see no real reason to. For the most part they are text file edits with, occasionally, custom UI icons. Plus, if people can see how I did something in my mods, they may learn from it and make their own mods. This is exactly how I learned. By looking at the files of other mods and tinkering around, figuring things out.

If you want to reupload my mod, PLEASE ASK FIRST, and respect my wishes regardless of if I say "yes" or "no". I respect those who ask permission, and especially respect those who respect the author's wishes. I can almost certainly guarantee I will say "No", but things change, so who knows.

If you are thinking of coming into my mods' comments to defend mod theft, do not bother. Your comments will be ignored and/or deleted, and you will likely be blocked. There is absolutely zero justification for mod theft of free mods.

Hey all, with the Ownable Gas Cisterns coming in 1.47, I wanted to get a little ahead of that and answer the inevitable questions coming my way. I've opted into the 1.47 Open Beta and so far it appears there are only the Single and B-Double chain type. So if I find the energy/drive to eventually update these B-Double mods, Gas Cisterns will be in it.

Additionally, I am officially placing both of my TPD mods on hiatus. There's a lot going on in my life right now that's draining a lot of energy from me and I just simply do not have the drive to update any of my trailer mods right now. In all honesty, I'm giving thought to just simply closing my trailer mods altogether. There are other trailer mods that do what I do to an equal, lesser, or even greater extent. My trailer mods, while relatively simple in what's done to make them work, are tedious for me to update/maintain. With other better mods out there, I don't even use my own trailer mods anymore.
Sanguinem Luna  [author] 17 Mar, 2023 @ 7:47am 
Does this mean I'll stop making mods or updating my other mods entirely? I can't say for sure. My Foodtank Cargo mod is also fairly tedious to maintain. My other smaller mods aren't as tedious, such as the Unrestricted Air Horn and Slower Blinker mods. My Expanded Wheel Tuning mod can get tedious at times as well, but not nearly to the extent as my trailer mods or Foodtank cargo mod. Time will tell I suppose, if I stop modding this game or simply maintain a few of my mods.

Regardless of what happens, it's been a great time. I'm glad I could bring some additional joy to this game for so many of you with my simple mods. I wish all of you the best, and safe travels.

This mod and its singleplayer counterpart are both on hiatus. I don't know when I'll get around to updating them. Sorry.

Hi can you make more configuration on scs gas takers granel and more because they still to small. Bitten trailer from scs thank
Sanguinem Luna  [author] 23 Dec, 2022 @ 7:37am 
That would require doing custom models, which I don't do, sorry. I only work with definition files (a type of text file the game uses) to make these combos.

You may want to check out Big B's & Axles and Expanded Trailer Combinations & it's companion mod No State Restrictions - Expanded Trailer Combinations Add On all by Gdog900. His mods may have that combo somewhere in them.

When you do get back into these mods could you please add 48'+48' 4 axle combo across the board as we now have them here in australia.
cheers.

ok thank you
Sanguinem Luna  [author] 27 Jul, 2022 @ 3:21pm 
I'll take a look at it next time I play then and if there's anything to be done, I'll add it whenever I get the energy/drive to work on this mod again.

single Lodeking/Prestige grainhopper is longer than rear in double
Sanguinem Luna  [author] 27 Jul, 2022 @ 7:41am 
If SCS gave any DLC trailers a B-Double config and there are longer chassis' available to add onto the B-Double, yes. The Lodeking/Prestige DLC for example I believe has a B-Double for one of the Grainhopper trailers, however, I can't recall if there are any longer Grainhopper chassis' from that DLC. If there aren't, then there's nothing for to do with it. Otherwise, no, as I don't do 3D model editing.
