Forward from Ruben from tmp official group
TRUCKERSMP & PROMODS
Since yesterday we officially know what the big surprise is TMP is working on: TMP + PROMODS!
WHEN DOES IT GET RELEASED?
The release is
planned for the end of this month September, but it's more likely it'll be there
mid-October.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE PROMODS?
Nothing changes. The servers that are around right now will still be around and available. You don't need ProMods to be able to play on the multiplayer.
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
• ProMods is going to run on a
separate server.
• That server will
start out with 2500 slots and will get raised up to 4200 slots.
• People who already use ProMods will have to update to a new version.
• We will
need all road DLC's to be able to use ProMods.
•
External Contracts do not work on ProMods.
• It is not certain yet if there are going to be restrictions for double trailers. This still needs to be determined.
• Is there going to be a winter mod for ProMods? There are no plans because there's nobody who has the time. But maybe somebody from within the community will step in? You never know.
• Will there be AI traffic? TMP is still working on that but they don't get it working to the fullest because SCS Software is still constantly changing the AI traffic's behavior. The moment SCS Software is happy and done, AI will get implemented in TMP (and ProMods).
MORE INFORMATION
TMP and PROMODS will provide us with more information regarding the download and usage of their systems. How-To articles will get published before the official launch.
These were about the most important things that were said during the first hour of the stream and with this probably the most important things we need to know about TMP+PROMODS.
