neue Autos und Trucks auf den Strassen

Hello
I saw 19 new cars driving in some videos and on a route in trs, concrete mixers, trucks and cars. The vehicles can be found under signals. How can I get these cars to drive on my streets?
instructions would be nice, as it was done with the signals.
if there is a user who has instructions with pictures etc. he can send it to me by email.

Thanks in advance

You modify or clone (recommended) a region in Content Manager.

Add in these vehicles twice. First as a reference in the string-table and then again add the KUID for the vehicle.

Hi John,, do you think you could tell us exactly how to do this please?.

Here are some instructions that I posted several years ago:

These track objects are actually vehicles that will run on existing roads and can replace those that you currently see on roads. (They are not programmable, although you can find programmable vehicles as well to run on invisible track). There are many of them on the DLS. Here is what you need to know:

1. The vehicles you see running are defined in a list stored in the config.txt of a region. In Content Mgr, look at the config.txt of any region and you will see the list in two places. The first is in a list starting with car0 through car whatever with the specific car. The second list is at the bottom and is under the heading kuid-table. Each of these lists contains the same kuid numbers for the cars for that region.
2. You could clone an existing region that you usually use, give the clone a new name, then decide which vehicles you want to replace and the kuid number of the replacement. For example, you might decide that car6 is no longer needed and you would like to replace it with a vehicle with kuid number whatever. Be careful to replace car6's kuids in both lists. Make a note of the replacement kuid number. Commit the cloned region.
3. Next, for each replacement vehicle, download it from the DLS if not already on your PC. It has to be on your PC otherwise you will have missing dependencies.
4. Once this is done, make sure the new region has no errors or missing dependencies.
5. Now load your route, then edit route, and scroll to your new region. If all went well in surveyor and driver you will see the vehicles defined for that region including the new vehicles you swapped in.
6. As an alternative, there are existing regions on the DLS with their own set of vehicles that you could download and assign to your route. You will still have to make sure to download any missing vehicles - just look at the dependency list to see which ones you need.

New info not in my original post: You can have many more road vehicles than those already in the region's config.txt. Someone said the limit is 100. I have about 40 or so. What this means to you is that you don't need to swap out one-for-one - you can keep what is there and add those you want.

Alright. It's not so difficult. There's a lot of assembly steps since I'm trying to be specific here, but it's not as hard as it looks.

1) Open up Content Manager.
2) Search for Region. Unfortunately there is no category (type) for that to search directly so in the search box in the upper right put in region.
3) Find the one you want to modify.
4) Clone it.
5) Open up a new Content Manager window - you can press CTRL+N (N at the same time as CTRL.)
6) Change that filter to Open for edit.
7) Right-click on "New Asset", and choose Edit Config.txt file - this will open up in Notepad.

Put this off to the side. If you have two displays, you can move this out of the way for now.

8) Go back to the Content Manager with the regions shown and blank the search.
9) Click on the arrow next to Install to bring up additional options.
10) Click on the plus (+) sign to bring up a new window. This will default to Asset-Kuid.
11) Scroll on Asset-Kuid to find Category.
12) Scroll the selection box for Category to show Vehicles --- it defaults to Achievement
13) Find the ones you want to add.
14) Highlight them.
15) Right-click and choose show assets in new window.

This isn't necessary, but it helps get rid of all the superfluous information. You can also minimize the Category search Content Manager and any other window you don't need.

Back to Notepad and the config.txt...

It's recommended you change the Username to your own region-name. I have one based on Dave Snow's Right-hand drive so I called mine Right-hand drive --- JAC so I know it's mine with my initials on the end. As always when editing the config.txt file, keep the formatting exactly like the other places including quotes and spaces.

Keep in mind that there's a limit to the number of carz that can be added to a region. I believe it's about 35, but it could be less. If there's already a large number, you need to remove some, and you will need to remove the car and it's related KUID from the Kuid-table found in the lower part of the config.txt file. This means searching for the vehicle-name in Content Manager in order to get both parts. You can also use this method to replace vehicles as well by changing out vehicles, but remember you need to find their Kuid in the Kuid-table as well to change that.

Adding vehicles -- the easy thing.

16) Scroll to the end of the listed vehicles.
17) Add in the next number in the list.
18) Add in the vehicle name.
19 Scroll to the end of the file to the bottom of the Kuid-table.
20) Add in the kuid for the vehicle.
21) Repeat for any vehicle you want to add.

22) Once all is done, you now can save the config.txt file.
23) Close the config.txt file
24) Close all the Content Manager windows except for the one with New Asset shown.
25) Submit the "New Asset".
26) Check for faulty assets.
27) If there are any errors, check your work - the errors are usually dumb things like a typo. Remember to check the formatting and follow exactly. If you removed or added a vehicle, make sure you added or removed the KUID, otherwise, the changes will not occur. Repeat the submit after checking the config.txt file.

Thankyou very much,, thats very informative, (and I guess others would be interested too). and I got some changed and some added with it running ok.
