Setup up Blender for Euro Truck Simulator 2 | SCS Modding Series |

Hey Guys! Welcome to a new series I am creating for using Blender on Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator 2.
At the time of recording, this video is being made for 1.44+ and Blender Version 3.1 and above (Although, 2.8+ should work fine)
This series will be for Singleplayer / Convoy modding alongside some Local Modding videos
This episode is setting up blender to be able to import models from ETS2/ATS and installing the required plugins.

Series Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLOKD3AtqYMEhAibG4Eoa_i7BOPpeX0mL6 CONVERSION TOOLS FIX! - SCS forgot to include a file in recent conversion tools, if you get an error, create `extra_mount.txt` in your conversion tools and the folder will now work

[@CascavelGameplay]

Thank you dude, the first one youtuber that managed to get the job done in a simpler way.

[@Brady_The]

Great tutorial! Short and straight to the point. However, if you run into *the* problem with the conversion tool (Red background, "Conversion tools path is incorrect! Please fix it first." when trying to pack mod): Create an empty text file in the conversion tools folder called "extra_mount". (That's "extra_mount.txt")

[@InsaneCallum]

Yeah, SCS changed what is in the conversion path since i uploaded this.

[@kazlocalmodsets2942]

with american truck simulator, there's only 1 truck at 4:37, the daf_2021, and its pmg file in the static subfolder called xg_4.2 stresses my PC for 10 seconds, and then there's nothing in the scene

[@fillman86]

downgrading to blender 3.2 seems to have fixed it (since that's the latest version the game devs have supported to)

[@InsaneCallum]

@@fillman86 glad you got it sorted. 3.2 And below is currently working at the time of this comment During the video, I was using blender 3.1 however have switched/downgraded to 2.9

[@supermegaultrapon]

is there a way to import ai traffic cars to blender?

[@dOOmERdaZe]

would it be possible to show the setup on blender for ATS as well and to say import the step Left/right front and rear step left/right of a truck pete 389 as example to add hookups on the steps for adding lights to the steps. or maybe to import a truck from a mod to add the hookups to the steps to add lights on them I am sure it is possible but not sure as to how to do it. Assuming I would have to know the model of the step on say said truck to add the hookups to it. then will all is said and done go into the garage and add the step for said truck and then i would have hookups for lights on the steps colored or plain either way would work. Couldd you do a video of sorts if so I would be forever grateful as to know how this is done. Already have truck model step is already made it just has no hookups on for lights. Since I am new somewhat to blender hope I explained that ok. Sorry if I did not. Thanks in advance and your attention great job on the tuts.

[@InsaneCallum]

The process is identical to doing it in ETS2

Great Video! Only Problem i have is, that the Interior is not loaded with the Truck Model. I have to load the Interior separately, which then makes it sit below the Truck Model. What am i doing wrong?

[@InsaneCallum]

That's right. The truck and interior are separate models They won't fit together as they are never rendered in game at the same time There are two interiors. (Interior view and exterior. Ext models is what you would want to look at if viewing truck from outside)

[@skywolfe_games]

Hey, good morning, here in Brazil. I'd like to ask a question. When I set the folder in the conversion tools helper, where I downloaded and extracted it, when I set it inside Blender, it sends the message 'Conversion tools path is incorrect! Please fix it first.' I don't know what it could be because I: 1- downloaded, 2- extracted, 3- left it in a folder, 4- entered Blender, 5- clicked on the little folder icon, 6- set the folder where I extracted the conversion tools, and it's giving this error. What could it be?

[@InsaneCallum]

Check pinned comment

[@artostec]

Tried importing the scania s as you showed, displayed a bunch of errors. Says something about the file being corrupted and unable to load

[@InsaneCallum]

So the plugin has updated the tools to be 1.50 compatible. So to use blender, you need the old plugin OR update your game to 1.50 BETA

[@RedRoseNL]

strange if i go at PIX wrapper it doesnt show my vehicles

[@InsaneCallum]

`base_vehicles.scs` or something similar now. It's changed

[@peterovergaard3550]

hey the tutorial is very good but i have a problem with the texture ( when i want to see what it woud look like in game it just black).

[@InsaneCallum]

It means your mod wasn't imported from the root, so the textures were not found.. When you open the zip of the mod, if the first folder you see is not `def` or `model` etc, thats a problem

[@peterovergaard3550]

but is in blender program so its like 5:16 what can i do to fix it

Each part is a different model. Import the models you need

doesnt work for latest version of blender

[@InsaneCallum]

Correct, thats why I said what version I am using in the video. And it also says on the linked websites what version numbers work

[@NamCarCulture]

when i load the base scs nothing shows up 4:25

Make sure you set a SCS base path If that doesn't fix it. Downgrade blender to same version in video (3.1)

i have a question, i got flare error when exporting truck model. there it says "object 088 (exm) has unexpected flare "name flare" and it occurs in all objects that have flare. even though i have setup hookup library.. can you help me?

[@InsaneCallum]

Make sure the flare is corrected and the flares are accessible via the root folder

[@huzzon]

@@InsaneCallum does the flare format have to be a PIM file. Maybe that has an effect because all the flares from the trucks that I have imported are all in pmd format

[@InsaneCallum]

@@huzzon It just has to be in the root like it would be if you exported a mod. Then you can select the flare in blender, and apply it.
