Euro Truck Simulator 2 should allow for a novel way to customize truck paints without having to go the hardcore route and re-create the whole truck texture from scratch. The game will ship with a selection of proto-paintjobs - patterns encoded in RGBA channels of an image - and the player will be able to assign any color value to any of the channels. This way anybody can easily get a vast number of paintjob combinations for his truck fleet without having to use any mods, just using the built-in functions of the game.
The images below are an illustration of this approach - they are all based on the same pattern, the same proto-paintjob, with different colors chosen.
WOWWW that's great news!
ReplyDeletescs the release date please
ReplyDeleteexcellent work love it, looking foreword to the game.
ReplyDeletehope you make modules that we can buy like train simulator
thumbs up guys! all progress so far is great.
ReplyDeletegreetings from Sweden
cool!! Did I understand right!?
ReplyDeleteIt´s a easy paintjob? Do you mean that every player can choose this colors for the truck in the game? Or must I take off the game??
good question? becaue I like it very much, but I´m not a profi, is it easy for everbody?
ReplyDeletegreetz from germany

ReplyDeletehttp://cdn1.knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/5574/original/1726009-shut_up_and_take_my_money_super.jpg
ReplyDeleteThat is simply amazing and just what we need to make our trucks our own. Thankyou SCS.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could allow us to put a company name on the front of the truck too.
colors for trailer? or brands,styles,badges,registrations plates?
ReplyDeleteVERY GOOD JOB.
ReplyDeleteTHE BEST TRUCK SIMULATOR GAME THAT EVER I SEE.
Sehr gute Arbeit :) richtig Klasse :) Hoffe das man ETS 2 auf meien PC spielen kann :p Ich freu mich schon
ReplyDeleteSCS.... great work so far, i'm and many more your fans are realy impressed about your work. Though many of us would like to know what kind of the feautures will be in this new amazing sim.
ReplyDeleteCould you guys meaby give us sneak preview of what kind of new functionality (feautures) already made in the game and what will be as an wish to add. (for example you showed last ROADWORK )
Many of us would realy like to know.
Just seperate in 2 sections:
1)the things what already are done and will be in game
2)The things what are curently desired to be iplemented in game but NOT promising that it will be in game after release.
At this point i think you could resive good feedback about some things...... who knows meaby even new idea's as well.
Nice work SCS!
ReplyDeletePS: Refine the roof is!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
ReplyDeletethat's good news of course, SCS
ReplyDeletebut this is again related only to styling and interface ... I would like to see the news directly related to gameplay of the game
looks good but still important errors like mirror's shape and back wheel possition(WTF)
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AMAZING SCS SOFTWARE JAW DROPPING THE AMOUNT OF STUFF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE US IS JUST IMMENSE A VERY BIG WELL DONE WITH THE TRUCK CUSTOMIZATION AND THIS PAINT JOB CREATION.
ReplyDeleteNice, now we wait ETS2, please come out
ReplyDeleteWOW That's a cool addition!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, we can create our own templates and use them.
This is great! Bravo!
Thats very cool. Nice SCS.
ReplyDeleteGreetings for your Mods & More TrucksimCom

Fantastic images. Keep up the outstanding work SCS Software team.
ReplyDeletegreat work, u guys thought about everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat about chassis painting? ^^
I want to have ETS2,too.Waiting fo the release... :)
ReplyDeletegreat paintjobs scs!! Keep on this wonderful work, all the players dreams will be come true!
CZ registration plates.cool work :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pic's. This is a really great feature. I hope to see our fleets trucks on the roads and that the ai will use tuning parts and skins as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope, I can change the registration plates! So no Scania has the same license plate!
ReplyDeleteBUT now the praise:-) ;
THIS IS VERY NICE!! Now also I can change skins. And better than in 18WOS!!
COOL!COOL!COOL!
COOL!COOL!COOL!
COOL!COOL!COOL!
COOL!COOL!COOL!
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But please make a USED TRUCK MARKED!!!!!!!!!!
nice work but very little said about actual gameplay . I hope thats not going to be a let down as that is even more important than the looks of the trucks and scenery . i hope its been expanded with the ability to own our own haulage compnay and not just drive one truck round Europe like ETS1 was
ReplyDeleteabout the paint job can you do a place in garage where we can customize our trucks after we own a company like in German Truck Sim or even before that where we could create our own stickers and to be able to write something on trucks like our own company name after that the company is released:d
ReplyDeleteplease;)
best regards
good luck
@ eduard_fcgb
ReplyDeleteYES... Thats right!
Trucks With the Companyname must be!
Nice idea !
ReplyDeleteThat's great. But I'm pro skinner, so it makes no sense for me.
ReplyDeleteBtw, SCS, many countries has dipped lights at daytime requirement, can it be in ETS2?
Oh, almost forgot, at the beginnings of the game, after choosing a country, trucks must have that country number plate. AI too (differennt country plates).
Antiradar/Radar detector would be good, like in the first "18 WOS" series and of course more police, not only speed cameras.
Illegal cargoes (smuggling), like drugs, cigarettes, girls... :O (like in the "King of the Road")
Bigger map please. (Driving across the CZ lasts >30 min)
SCS, I hope you will see it, think about it, and keep up the good work! ;)
Greetings from Lithuania (hope you will add it to the map :D)
Work more on the roof of the truck.
ReplyDeleteEuro Truck Will there be snow in the game
ReplyDeletei have no words!!!simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteI have a strange feeling about licence plates! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course: Hey, Volvo people, give SCS permission to use the brand! That truck looks awesome! Pleeeeeeeeaaaaasee!!!! :)
good job
ReplyDeleteLooks like we are going to have wires connected to the trailer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great great job scs. This game will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI literally cannot believe some of the people that comment on your work SCS. You guys are the only ones to produce games in the truck niche which is commendable and some people have to cheek to come on here and DEMAND that you implement multi player or that you MUST show more gameplay videos etc.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of mods and modding in general. Will your game still be open to user created content, and can we expect a map editor as with previous iterations ?
ReplyDeleteExcellent work. I'm sure I'll be addicted for hours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this news.
Looking forward for next news! (:

ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI really can not understand those people who are enthusiastic about the news about the simulation, although they note that the SCS is the only good producers of commercial simulators - a contradiction, is not it? Indeed, to understand what they are good developers simulators are needed for this proof in the form of gaming promotions, featurs. Playing with the new models is not a game. Do not be so naive.
By the way, SCS said that he would support modeling by the game and means game. Simulation and so will not go away! But the gameplay will be based in conscience only one developer - SCS! Include the brain, the commentators.
Just wondering but... is the new Mercedes Actros getting in ETS2 too?
ReplyDeleteExcellent work. Please scs make that when trailer attachet wires connectet to the trailer too, and please add tandem trucks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Lithuania ;)
Guys, thank you for the nice new pictures, but might we also expect some news other, than the graphics?
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see the improvements on the traffic, but unfortunately the past 10-15 news were all about graphical improvements, and no news were shared on the changes affecting gameplay. While it has become a trend to focus on graphic only since the 90's, I would be grateful seeing at least some feedback on the simulation itself, because we set great hopes on you SCS. You represent the lost gender in games, The simulations, for which many players wished for for so long by now.
So please, stop with the eyecandy for now, because we would like to see your plans and improvements on and about the simulation.
This is AWESOME update keep it going SCS!! Is it possible to but text in trucks?
ReplyDeleteCan we put also our company names on the trucks??
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice...
A small tip; Make the cab a bit wider above....
Greetings from Belgium
SCS, you are making this game at a AAA standard. i say hire your prices a bit away from the 20 euro mark, you guys deserve more, i say sell the game at around 30 euros.
ReplyDeleteLike the dutch expression goes:
ReplyDelete"Rather lazy than tired" totally works for me and especially with features like this :P
That Volvo , those reflections , that chrome .... LOOKS LIKE CRAP !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was always downloading games, but you are doing such a good job scs, I want to buy this game.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEach picture is my smile broadened to become laughter
Very nice, and this goes for every truck?
ReplyDeletenow, I'm on my hass

ReplyDeleteGreat job! This will be the best trucking game ever!
ReplyDeleteYou guys perhaps don't realize how freaking good this is! Always do people complain about it being to hard to mod cars or make new ones, or even just using built-in editors to create liveries they want. And this makes it so easy....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely well done again, SCS.
This is really some great news!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for the good job!!!
SCS,
ReplyDelete1. Make road potholes, pothole patches and similar things
Like: http://www.grokiskis.lt/assets/image.php?f=../uploads/articles/kavolis-6.jpg&w=300

ReplyDeleteVery very nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can´t wait to come out into the world ETS2!!!!!VVVVVVVVVVVeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyynnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
@SCS
ReplyDeletePlease just make this game very well optimized, because, for example, the ETS,GTS and UKTS run with lags and slowdown's sometimes in my Intel Q8400-4GB RAM- AMD Radeon 5750! And i run various games with all eye candy that have better graphics without lags.
So i can conclude that the problem is unoptimized engine.
Please, don't take this as an insult but as an feedback of one of your gamers!
Best regards!!
Everyone is saying "cool" and "nice" are you all blind?! The stripes look sh*te no matter what colour you paint them. The best colour combo would be all the same colour so you cant see those hideous stripes at all..
ReplyDeleteRelease this awesome new-gen trucking game already *Cry* My G27 setup is lonely! Heh.
ReplyDeleteG'day from Australia, yes this game even has a following down under sofar from what i have seen it looks great and i understand the complexity that is required to create a great product such as this. I do appreciate the fantastic screen shots but could you in the next few blogs please show some ingame features such as maps maybe a insight in how the career system works the type of play availble. Any insight about the games possible features would be great.

Judging by T&T, some optimizations have been made and scalability has increased tenfold.

ReplyDeleteYou're a bit on the short side when it comes to wits, right?
This is an example of what you can do. The graphical elements can be anything, from stripes to decals and logos, even basic graphics, so try not to be so narrow minded. The pattern presented is a simple, yet explanatory example of color handling, but it can very well be a "company" logo, that the player will want to use on his/her fleet. Doh!
WE WANT NEW TRAILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ReplyDeletegive us more information about the topic:
ReplyDelete"truck fleet"
thanks
br
Excellent utility!!!
ReplyDeleteI still want optional spoilers from cab and tanks (add or remove them)
ReplyDeleteI want my truck to look clean, one colour
