How to Use Navigation Mods With Map Mods

how to use navigation mods with map mods

As you all know, my navigation mods use the original game map data. Therefore, it does not work properly with map mods. I've released special versions for ETS 2 ProMods and ATS ProMods Canada map mods before. Now, I have prepared customization addons for other map mods. Explained how you can customize these addons below.

 1. Download the customization addon you want to use.

Customization Addons for ETS 2:
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Customization Addon
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Night Version Customization Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Customization Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Night Version Customization Addon

Customization Addons for ATS:
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Customization Addon
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Night Version Customization Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Customization Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Night Version Customization Addon

2. Which map's def file(map_data.sii) is active at the top in the mod manager?

For example:

Mod Manager
Navigation Mod
X Map
Y Map
Z Map
T Map

We need map data of the X Map mod. We will solve the problems on the world map using the X Map mod data.

3. Copy the map data of your map mod.

Go to def/map_data.sii file of your X Map mod. Copy this data:

copy the map data of your map mod

4. Paste map data of your map mod into customization addon.

Go to def/map_data.sii file of customization addon. Paste map data of your X Map mod here:

paste map data of your map mod into customization addon

Then save it. Your customized addon is now ready.

5. Activate the customization addon.

Copy the customized addon zip file in My Documents/Euro Truck Simulator2/mod folder. Now you can activate in Mod Manager. Place addon at the top in the mod manager.

Finally your mod manager should look like this:

Mod Manager
Navigation Customization Addon
Navigation Mod
X Map
Y Map
Z Map
T Map

That's it.

Additional Info: If you use a different map/zoom system that separates colors and map data (like BenganJ's Universal World View map mods) you only need color addons.

1. Download the color addon you want to use:

Color Addons for ETS 2:
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Color Addon
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Night Version Color Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Color Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Night Version Color Addon

Color Addons for ATS:
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Color Addon
  • Download Google Maps Navigation Night Version Color Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Color Addon
  • Download Yandex Navigator Night Version Color Addon

2. Activate the color addon.

Copy the color addon zip file in My Documents/Euro Truck Simulator2/mod folder. Now you can activate in Mod Manager. Place addon at the top in the mod manager.

Finally your mod manager should look like this:

Mod Manager
Navigation Color Addon
Universal World View
Navigation Mod
X Map
Y Map
Z Map
T Map

      ME addon uses main promods map_data.sii but you don't have to use customise version, there is already promods version for example i'm using this one for my map combos; https://www.sinagritbabasworkshop.com/2019/10/ets-2-google-maps-navigation-night-version-for-promods.html

      Merhaba. Navigasyon modlarına yüksek öncelik vermediğinizde bazı mod "def"leri renkleri eski haline döndürür. Mod yöneticisinde modları aktif ederken yukarıdaki örnek sıralamaları dikkate alırsanız bu sorun yaşanmaz. Ayrıca ProMods kullanırken ekstra bir eklentiye ihtiyacınız yok. Sadece ProMods sürümünü kullanmanız yeterli.

      Mod Manager:
      Navigation Mod
      Heilbronn Map
      Y Map
      Z Map
      T Map

      So you need map data of Y Map.

    Hi Sinagrit, thanks for these addons. I'd like to report the color addon doesn't work, though. We investigated this in the RoEx forums with BenganJ and it seems like a wrong line break character was used? Please have a look at this thread for details: https://roextended.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1500&p=24846#p24852

      Hi. Thanks for info. I'm using the standard SCS character format.(LF) Only the missing character in the last color line caused error. Anyway. All color addons updated. Addons should now work properly.

    This is how it looks for me: https://i.imgur.com/GZD6lX9.png

    I have promods, rusmap, roex, southern region, steppe, turkey map from roex, laeso, paris rebuilding.

    Roex' def file is at the top of all maps. I copied its map_data.sii like you showed, but it doesn't work well. Even without the coloured map from roex forums.

      There should be a mistake in the load order.

      It should be as follows:

      Mod Manager:
      Navigation Customization Addon
      Navigation Mod
      Roex
      ...

      The reason for the problem must be that you have the wrong mod load order. Please send me a screenshot of your mod manager.

    I use the Sierra Nevada Reforma mod and tried your solution but it wont work, if you use the "reforma fix patch" as a reference. Do you have any solution for that Problem?

      It will work if you follow the instructions properly. And most importantly, you should do the mod load order properly.

      After following the instructions, you should activate the addon that you prepared as follows:

      Mod Manager:
      Navigation Customization Addon
      Navigation Mod
      Sierra Nevada Reforma
      ...

    Hello, How do I find the mapdata.sii when it is a .scs?

    ReplyDelete
  11. AntoDecember 25, 2020 at 1:27 AM

    Hello, Do I open the .scs as an archive? I tried to do that but it didn't work. For other mods it has all the files but the map im using (rusmap) wont open.

      Hello. You can do the same with .scs files. However, if the file does not open, you will not be able to access the data of your map mod. As a result, you cannot prepare addon(s). (Just a tip: SiSL's dart-scsunlocker tool maybe can open the file. Here it is:

      No. You will only make/use one customization addon. Read the description/instructions carefully again.

      If the ferry mod has map data you will use it. Otherwise you will use the data of the top mapmod.
