It is with a heavy heart...but needs must

Due to having many problems with my health, I have been unable to give the attention that the TSGmods network of sites requires, and not having the funds to be able to continue to pay for the server costs ( thank you Joel for your amazing contribution ), which continue to rise on a monthly basis, it is with a sad heart that I will be forced to close the forums and the main TSGmods.com. when this will happen I can not say, but it will be at least within the next 2 months, I do not wish to do this and many of you that know me, know how much time and effort I have put into these sites, we will still have the tsgmods blog and facebook pages, and maybe we will start a fresh on a free hosting forums.


Many of you will be asking the question, how cant this site make money as there is advertising on the top and bottom of all the pages, well it is simple, the revenue generated from these adverts is pennies, and that is not a understatement, in the last 4 months the total the advertisement has raised comes to less than £4.40, and thats not per week, or even per month, that is the total for the last 4 months combined, this would be fine if this revenue covered the server costs, but I am afraid it does not come anywhere near, the raised money would not even cover a single week, let alone a month.

A very apologetic and saddened

PS: There is a thread on the forums for members to discuss this with the TSGmods staff, any and all questions should be directed to this thread

ets 2 luxemburg to calais



Due to matters beyond my control, I recorded a gameplay video of Euro Truck Simulator 2 multi-player with Senor Cabbage ( the usual suspect ) but there was a problem with the video, so I have had to trash it, but Senor Cabbage recorded it, so here it is from his perspective while following me, only a short trip but its always fun when playing in the wonderful world of ets2mp, while having a good chat........enjoy.....more coming from TSGmods soon.

Holiday Event Round Up and Peek into Sweden


Greetings, and Happy New Year 2015 to all of you!

Looks like Euro Truck Simulator 2 was played a lot during the festive season. Over 34,000 people managed to complete our Holiday Event! We are astounded by such activity and eager to provide more cool stuff on World of Trucks in 2015.

Holiday Event will come to an end on Wednesday, January 14th 2015. If you are still in progress of trying to earn your exclusive Raven Truck Design DLC by completing it - hurry up!

Another good news is that DLC Scandinavia is in the final production stages now. We sure still need to test it properly, tweak it, and optimize it - with such a big project that's a ton of work on its own - but we have considerably better testing capacity and process available to us now compared to previous project releases. Let's hope all will go smoothly.

Let us show you some screenshots around the Swedish city of Kalmar:

New Light and Weather System Coming

New Light and Weather System Coming

Holiday time is a quiet period in our office as members of our team are spending time with their families. But we know that our fans always crave for fresh information about our projects. So here we are, with a bunch of great-looking panoramas from Scandinavia!

As you may have already noticed in some earlier screenshots we have published, there are considerable changes coming to the game environment. Several in-game graphic rendering elements have been altered or improved to achieve a richer color palette, as presented on the images in this blog post.


The most noticeable changes to the systems are improvements to HDR tone-mapping calculations and sun shafts. Each weather condition now has its own specific lighting preset, allowing us to provide different scene illumination and reflectivity depending on the current state of game environment.



Sun shafts (sometimes dubbed "God rays") will be using a new calculation algorithm which creates softer and more lifelike effects - driving during sunset or sunrise will provide you with vistas you have not yet seen in ETS2. In order to improve the looks of scenes, we've also decided to alter our fog/haze calculation system.



As the shaders and rendering code are changing, we also need to adjust quite a lot of game assets. Shaders and textures of many objects such as buildings or roads have to be updated in order to correct their specular and diffuse lighting properties to match the new system.




We are half-way through all this work, quite a lot of it is still ahead of us. We aim to release the improvements mentioned in this post alongside Scandinavia DLC. However, the visual changes will be very noticeable everywhere, it will not be just the new parts of the ETS2 world to benefit from the new graphical features. So even if you don't rush to buy Scandinavia right away when it's released, you will get the visual changes as a part of a free game update available for all Euro Truck Simulator 2 owners.
