i have created a back round map to use but having problems getting it into game to use with the editor, would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on the correct dimensions of the back round map & installation needed plz, by the way this is the best available tut that i'v seen yet, top stuff thank you...
TOTALLY lost at the 4:50 mark of the video. I have a: User/Documents/American Truck Simulator/mod/user_map but nothing in the user map. So, when I try to put that location in the map editor I get a bunch of errors. I'm using ATS 1.45

Hey I am thankful for this video I am new to all this and I recently learn how to make a mod compatible. The mod that I want to use is the 1:1 time scale mod the problem I am having is the mod is throwing of the alignment of the background map and the original map of what I noticed is that there is a file in the mod called usa.mbd and I was wondering what do I need to do to fix the map alignment together with the background alignment can you guide or explain what I would need to do to fix this issue your help will be much appreciated.
That .scs file is just an ordinary archive. You can extract and modify it using a tool like 7zip. You could also rename the file ending to "zip" and extract it.

hello thanks for your video I want to do a custom yard in American truck simulator so i can park my trailers to easy hook and unhook to them if i edit a garage in the game will that allow me to do so thank you
Hello sir i am having trouble with ets2 map editor ver. 1.39 when i am trying to save the map i created it giving me an steam error like Euro Truck Simulator - Steam has stopped working
I do not think any of this works anymore. Followed the instructions to the T. Nothing is placed in the base_maps >maps folder, and it doesn't load the edited map
Are you saying that by utilizing this, I could eliminate the obstruction near to my garage driveway, that is in the way of my exiting, and or possibly the entire wall that prohibit the size of the driveway making it way to narrow for american trucks.
Depends on what kind of model that obstruction is made of. Some models consist of multiple assets (like a player garage consists of the whole yard) and can only be deleted or added as a whole. Best is to enter the editor and just try around.

Hello, my friend thanx for the video. I would like to tell you that I can't open the console on ETS2. I know you are working on ATS but they are quite the same logic so I tried it on ETS 2. In-game, I can open console but in editor can't.
Hello, so i have been trying to add the mexico expansion to my ATS 1.39. everything is up to date but at the enterance into mexico from Arizona. all the roads-cities are non existant on the in game map. All the downloads are in the correct order but it does not work. how do I fix this?
You could delete a whole sector simply by removing the sector files from the folder. For a new map, simply use empty map/mapname folder only containing mapname.mdb
American Truck Simulator Should intergreat all of México in it's updates as one map & Have Compatability with PlayStation & Xbox! * Forestry Outback dirt, mud, gravel roads & sleeping places for day cabs & more cab overs! strip club's and diners & drive-thrus mission's on smuggling things, and giving employment opportunities with the truck's & trailers bought! shouldn't be left out On Main Game!
I've followed this, but upon loading my edited map.mdb I cannot visit the area I just edited, which was barstow. Any ideas? It just says "cannot be found" in red. I have all the Map DLCs.

Does this also mean we don't have to export the mod while testing it?

Make sure your "mod" folder is empty when using the editor as the editor will load ALL files in that folder. This could create conflicts.

Hello! How do I make a new sector?
Just add content there. While saving the game will automatically add the sector file to your folder.
Even safter saving thee is nothing in my base map folder in steam>steamapps>common>ats>base_map
How is the "map" folder created?
By saving in the editor.
What to do with Reforma Map?
Add to "mod" folder, activate and play :)
Where did you get the editor app?
it already comes with the game. No extra installation required.
I noticed a 64bit version under the bin folder, is there a reason why we are not using the 64 bit exe file?
nevermind, i'm using the launcher.

On Reforma Discord or in SCS forum you can share you load order and game.log so that somebody's able to verify it.
How do you delete everything on the map to start over
You could delete a whole sector simply by removing the sector files from the folder. For a new map, simply use empty map/mapname folder only containing mapname.mdb
City was not found
thanks
Ok what about African countries and their cities, roads?
