Don't leave home without this mod !!

Checked the 1.56 patch, no changes needed

Update checked for 1.55, no changes needed

@Erbkaiser okay Good to know. I wondered about that, if they were cosmetic ones....Thank you. Great mod btw.

@Isaiah You should get a fine roughly 90% of the time, but only if the camera is actually coded as a camera. A lot of them are cosmetic only.

Is there meant to be a fine when running a red light with a camera cause I never get one although I see lots of traffic cameras in some states. Just curious if mod is working as intended or I might have a conflict with another mod. Thanks

It's a nice mod. Good work.

Thank you for the fix!

You were right - it seems SCS changed the illegal trailer code and I missed that update!
I'll add it to my mod now and push it. The next time you launch the game, it should give you the proper fine (if any).

Interesting then. Cause disabling this mod only I didn't get fined. I don't know what the issue is then.

That's not due to this mod. I don't touch that fine so it is the same as vanilla.

If you get that fine you ARE using an illegal trailer, which means either it is actually forbidden there, or the country definition file for Idaho you are using is modified by another mod in a bad way.

I found a bug with the mod. I got charged 1500$ fine for illegal trailer usage every frame going through idaho with the turnpike double dry van trailer.

Yeah they are still braindead, but it's not as bad as when I first made this. The AI used to randomly break at merging lanes or intersections, and switch lanes right in front of you, and that has been mostly resolved.

Idk about that, I still get random crashes from idiot AI drivers, lol.

I increased the crash fines to about 1/4 of default. One of the reasons I had set it to the minimal amount was that the AI was too stupid not to crash into the player, and this has now been mostly solved. I may increase it back to full in the future.

Still working in 1.50 for anyone wondering.

Should still work, no changes on SCS's end.

1.50?

yes

does this work on 1.49?

I have tried to mod that before, but either I don't fully understand how the overspeeding system works, or part of it is hardcoded.

The formula is fine *= min( multiplier ^ (overspeed / step), limit)
But changing the steps from default 2.777778 doesn't seem to reflect on in-game changes.

Is it possible to increase the overspeed fine threshold? AFAIK that 8 kph / 5 mph is a bit too strict, IRL they fine you when speeding by about double that on a highway.

Je voudrai seulement éviter , suprimer les dégats au véhicule. Quel mod ?

Mechanically it works just like the weight check or a toll booth. If you are in range of the check and leave it without doing the action, you're caught.

If you have a mod that adds other countries and manage to drive past the passport check area, you get fined.

Illegal border crossing fine: what do you mean with that? How can I illegaly cross the border?

Exactly. It exists in the code and in ETS2 is a fine by default, but in ATS it is not, presumably because (as far as I can tell) it is not a fine in California.

@Erbkaiser

What would that be exactly? Would it be like a violation/fine for driving on the shoulder?

Checked update for 1.46
Added hard shoulder violation fine as it is a rule in some US states now added to the map

much needed. am so sick of driving around minding my own business when someone slams into me for no reason and I have to fork out the dough. I think they should be giving me money instead of a fine.

And as of now Valve seems to say GTFO not gonna fix it. Which would be outrageous.

This seems to be a Steam problem. I've seen reports in the Steam communities of it happening with mods in other games as well as ATS and ETS2.

Thanks for letting me know. I hope SCS finds the problem and fixes it soon.

This now seems to be a game bug, bc multiple people are experiencing it. Someone at the SCS forums deleted all ATS files, and still no success. Your mod is a strong proof that it's not the mods that cause this error.

Sounds like you might have some form of corruption in your Steam workshop.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\270880 and delete everything there, then subscribe or unsubscribe from ANY mod on the Workshop. Steam should now redownload all your Workshop mods for ATS.

If you have Steam installed elsewhere, go to \steamapps\workshop\content\270880 from there.

270880 is the AppID for ATS.

If I copy the content into the mods folder like it was manually downloaded and added, the game can see it. SMH

I'm not sure what's going on with my game. It's now 1.44.1, and this mod and 4 others (engine, wheel, gearbox, paint) appear in my active mod list on the right, with the red exclamation point, but they don't appear in the available mod list on the left. I unsubbed from this, launched the game, quit, then resubbed, the folder is in my game folder with several other mods, but the game still can't see it and the four other installed. I restarted my computer, had the file integrity checked with Steam, and still no. The left panel says it's not even there, the right panel says it's installed but not compatible currently. I need to find out what's happening.

That should not be possible. This mod is universal, not tied to a version number.

Why does the game's Mod Manager state that this is now incompatible with 1.44?

Load order should not matter as it's only one file, so the only mods that will conflict are other mods that change police fines.

Any load order preference or can it go anywhere? :-)

Thanks for this, by the way. Hated driving with fines turned off but original system was a bit wonky.

Happy motoring!

Phoenix PD, lol nice work. looks good.

EmDash - that mod will change the same file, so it will not. My mod makes fines somewhat less likely so if your goal is to enforce road rules, you should use the other one.

Will this work with mods that change fine values? Like "To Serve and Collect" by MycroftCanadaNS? I'm trying to make it so when I host a server people will be more inclined to follow road laws.

No update needed for 1.43

This is so realistic! The original fine mechanic was bit strange because if you pass while it is red light (even very little) the fine happens, but this one fixes that like realistic one!

No, turning it off in the settings just disables everything.
This mod changes how likely you are to get specific fines.

Does this do the same thing as turning off fines in the settings?

its pretty cool it makes the game tons of fun

Read the description. It changes the chances of getting a fine, not the value of the fines.
