You left off 2 trucks. That must be a mod for Haulin' cause it's not enough trucks for the ALH version.

After the International 9900 there should be the International Prostar listed.

After the Mack Vision there should be the Mack Rawhide listed.

And yes, both are real trucks. Uncle is a Mack dealer, and wow those Rawhide's have some glorious suites to rival any hotel room. LOL But then, I'm sure most modern trucks are like that.

I should just post the how-to on this mod. Use a zipper program like winzip, winrar or 7zip. Seems most people use 7zip for this, as do I, since it has memory on where you last zipped from, making it easy to fire up the program and go right back to tweaking after each try. ;o)

Simply make a text file, since the mod will be nothing more than a game script. It tells the game what to do basically, and since it will be located in the mod folder it will override the internal game settings. But first, let's create where it goes. Make a folder called "Script" without the quotes. Doesn't matter where you create this folder at, just as long as you know where it is. Open the folder, create another new folder named "en" without the quotes. Then go inside the en folder and create a new text file inside there. Name the text file "local.def" which is nothing more than a definition file for defining the names of things, parameters, etc. Once that is done, copy and paste the following into the new text file you created....

extdefs "local_base.def"

def translate:translate_base {

# Truck names

trk_fcl: "Ford CTL9000"
trk_fclass: "Freightliner Classic"
trk_fcol: "Freightliner Columbia"
trk_fcol2: "Freightliner Columbia"
trk_fcor: "Freightliner Coronado"
trk_fla: "Freightliner Argosy"
trk_flcc: "Freightliner Century Class"
trk_i8600: "International 8600"
trk_i8600_2: "International 8600 Sleeper"
trk_i9200: "International 9200"
trk_i9300: "International 9300 Eagle"
trk_i9400: "International 9400"
trk_i9900: "International 9900"
trk_i_ps: "International Prostar"
trk_kk100: "Kenworth K100"
trk_kt600: "Kenworth T600"
trk_kt800: "Kenworth T800"
trk_kt2000: "Kenworth T2000"
trk_kw900: "Kenworth W900"
trk_m613: "Mack 613"
trk_mv: "Mack Vision"
trk_m_rh: "Mack Rawhide"
trk_p320: "Peterbilt 320"
trk_p351: "Peterbilt 351"
trk_p357: "Peterbilt 357"
trk_p362: "Peterbilt 362"
trk_p379: "Peterbilt 379"
trk_p385: "Peterbilt 385"
trk_p387: "Peterbilt 387"
trk_s9513: "Sterling 9513"
trk_vvn: "Volvo VN-770"
trk_ws: "Western Star 4900"
trk_w4900ex: "Western Star 4900 EX"
trk_w6900: "Western Star 6900 XD"

trk_sleeper: "Sleeper"
trk_sleeper_abbr: "S"

}

Then you just save the changes to the test file. Ok, now that will override the games names for the trucks in the game. You can extend this on down further by also changing the names of the trailers, cargo, transmissions, engines, accessories, whatever. Don't worry about that stuff if all you wanna do is change the names of the trucks.

Ok, now fire up the zip program. For 7zip, make the settings type as "ZIP" and compression type to "Store" so that it does not compress anything. It will simply store the data into the archive and will allow the game to open it and read it, noting the changes you want to make during the game startup. Anything in the game mod folder overrides whatever it is changing in the game internal settings.

Now then, with 7zip running and settings changes as above... navigate with 7zip to where you created that "Script" folder. Choose "Add to archive..." when you right click on the "Script" folder in the main directory window in the 7zip program. At top it will give you the opportunity to name the file you are fixing to save as that archive. Name it something like "Real Truck Names.scs" as an example. You can use spaces, at least with Win7, but some people prefer to use underline connectors such as "Real_Truck_Names.scs" as another example. Doesn't matter, whatever makes you happy. But make sure the file ends with .scs!!! Then hit the OK button and you should now have a new file right there with your Script folder.

Now, simply copy/paste (I prefer cut/paste (then replace option if file already is in mod folder) to save having to delete left behind files...) the file into the game mod folder. I use Win7, so here's the path structure for where my mod folder is....

C:\Users\USER\Documents\18 WoS American Long Haul\mod

The capitalized "USER" in the pathname is the name of your computer, I changed the pathname to say "USER" for my own privacy. ;o)

If you use Win7, then even easier to just click "Documents" on left side menu, then 18wos ALH and then Mod folder and there you are.

Once you have the scs file in the mod folder, fire up the game and see if it works. It should. As a suggestion. There's a mod out there called "real_companies_and_cargos" which I use. Though I did go in and add the International Prostar and Mack Rawhide to the list, which appears as you see in my script information above.

I see where Igor Indigo posted links to find alot of the stuff I use. I made my own all engines mod. Easy to do once you figure out the basic principles of how the game works and such.

Be advised, if you download the ALH-Real-Companies-And-Cargos, then you don't need to down the Real-Truck-Names as that is redundant and both will contain much of the same information. I made the mistake of running both and found out real quick it was confusing the game.

And while I realize my post might be a little redundant, I'd like it utilized for the 2 missing trucks which are missing from both the files linked by Igor. ;o)
