You not gonna find that in my videos or some SCS wiki. It's a short hack and let's keep it that way. Sorry.

ΟΚ, so, I'm trying to load Promods 2.45 in the map editor to create an add-on. ANd all i see is the background map with yellow-red polygon lines, no roads, nothing. What am I missing here?

EDIT I was missing to press A :lol:

@paokkerkir

Have you tried to hit key A a couple of times? Have you zoom'ed out by holding PAGE-UP down?
Have you moved around by holding right mouse button down and dragging? Tried hit key C to
see if you're in 3D mode?

EDIT: I assume you put all main PM mods in the mods folder you use when editing!

There is something I want to do but I'm not sure it can be done easily. There is a standalone map of a part of Greece out there, in 1:1 scale. Can it be rescaled in a somewhat easy way? After that I understood how to connect it to the main map.

@paokkerkir

Is it the one with a road along the south coast to Athens and Pireus and the island of Santorini?

the level of detail, city spread, size and roads from a 1:1 map is not gonna fit your 1:19 scale ever. Probably Athens for example, translated in 1:19 it's gonna cover half of Greece.
So stop scratching your nuts and stop looking for easy way's, there are NO such things, and START MAPPING. I want to make my RL haul in the game but Promods has nothing south of Salonic.

I've heard that SCS is gonna blacklist all map add-ons, except the ones maded before june 2020, so start moving things. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh well, I might have to start mapping after all...

Yes BenganJ that's the map in question.
