Thread: Truck support in NG versions

You - you think the problem is the lack of signaling online restrictions (so I understand your answer)
On the other hand - apart from the fact that such signaling is and is very good - I believe this is the least problem!

Ludo is having "issues" when he uses Gift, but you showed that there is no issue for Basarsoft with license, no?
OP asked about proggy with "truck restriction" capability. What does that mean?
1. Ability to set extended settings
2. Ability to route correctly based on restriction
3. And according to the code in truck.zip, the ability to have notification and alert icons

Marx and I have been saying only Gift seems to work. But as I discovered, it's not working fully. I'm not interested in proggy working with license because as I said, there is no license for outside Europe!

I say - why treat - better prevent!

Nope, I never said that. I said "truck restriction" is not fully working on Gift and so far there is no proof that it works fully with any proggy.

Why? - it's simple - there are limits that can (in some cases) prevent further driving.
For example, when driving a vehicle with a height of 4.4 m - on the motorway - we have a tunnel or bridge in front of you with a height of 4.0 m, the previous exit of the motorway was 15 km earlier, next to the tunnel (bridge) that signaled restricted ???

I expect alert icons to tell me and not depend on memorizing "Restrictions" info data from the routing screen. Your last 4 screenshots looks like notifications, is it occuring when you drive near the restrictions? If so, then notification is working. But still no alert icons. Are you using truck.zip?

"speedcam subsystem" is a team that allows you to show events, constraints or places on the map - important for the driver - eg radar, speedometer, school zone, etc. -
Some of the information that this system uses is contained in the fda (file driver alerts) file.
If:
[Speedcam_category 6]
= activated_spoken_type speech
activated_speech = "Caution dangerous railway crossing"
or
[Speedcam_category 16]
= activated_spoken_type speech
activated_speech = "give way"
or
[Speedcam_category 20]
= activated_spoken_type speech
activated_speech = "Dangerous Turn"
or etc ..
There are no driver alerts - I personally do not understand anything anymore ....!

You continue to say n*ns*ns* even when I give you answer. Do you understand what speedcam.zip UX provides? It has nothing to do with truck restrictions nor driver alerts (which driver_alert.zip UX provides) Dude, look at the codes, it's all there.
Remove .fda (and/or driver_alert.zip), and I guarantee you will still see speedcam alerts if you have .spc and .txt in the speedcam directory. Driver alert is NOT speedcam. Remove .ftr (and/or truck.zip), and I guarantee you will still see speedcam alerts if you have .spc and .txt in the speedcam directory. Truck restriction is NOT speedcam.

And the settings in sys.txt has nothing to do with truck restriction. Read what I said in previous post. There are only 32 speedcam categories* and they do not match up with all truck restriction (look at my post of the icons) "Max Height" category in speedcam is not truck restriction, it a category that you can put in .txt under speedcam directory to get alert like speedcam.

* Yes most are not speedcam related, I would preferred to call it alert instead of speedcam, but NNG probably originally created it for handling speedcam and later provides for other alerts.
