    History Time!! Okay so I promised awhile ago that I would release this mod on or before June 1st 2018 no matter if it was completed or not. Obviously this mod is not completed but I couldn’t break my promise. I am done with school and over the summer I am going to work on the things you have listed above, also it’s funny seeing the Russian websites take my work in progress semi. And a lot of it seems super easy to do but trust me it’s a lot. Once I finalize the cab textures and jbeam I will work on the fine details

    Hey
    So i love the idea of the Volvo truck, but the name doesnt seem fitting to me, considering that we already have a Volvo equivalent in Beamng, you could rename the Semi to be a Jargl instead of a Voluto

    Why not just keep it Volvo...

    Because its a bloody Volvo? If you can't be bothered coming on here to download it and not on the repository then oh well. Not trying to be rude but it's the authors decision be grateful he actually made a European truck and not some big American thing. Btw sweet mod.

    I would just keep at as Volvo Vnl 780 but the mod repository will not add real cars with real names. Also thanks.

    Wentward brand is a good idea in my opinion. I don’t prefer GNL 680 but Wentward seems appropriate.

    You can leave it as a forum only mod. Then you wouldn’t have to re-brand it. Or make both versions - Voluto for mod repository and Volvo for the forums.

    Also, if you notice something out of place on the semi or something I missed (I probably missed a lot becuase it’s WIP) just post it here.

    I guess you are better off to make a version that is suitable for the mod repository, as having two different mods of the same vehicle can be a difficult task to manage, as all of the fixes in .jbeam or model itself, would need to be transferred to all of the available versions.

    Also, pl
    yeah that would be an issue, well maybe I could find a universal name for the actual files like “bigrig” so I only have to change one folder

    I recomend you leaving it as Volvo (forum only mod). Then you wouldn’t have to change logos. Plus, most of the members voted for original name.

    Yeah it seems there is more support to keep it as Volvo, for now I’ll keep it as Volvo and I can always change it

    can you put the mod in the in-game repository if the name is Volvo?
    i'm not sure, see the case of the gavril vendetta (chevrolet corvette) having issues with the real name of the car

    Yeah I noticed that too. I think that the rules were a bit more lenient for the Vendetta becuase it is under the gavril name, but since this is just a Volvo not under any in game vehicle it wouldn’t be allowed in the repository

    The only texturing that I am sure I cannot do myself are the headlights, I want it to look real but I don’t want it to look corny, so I will need help on that, most likely just that.

    It's beacuse if you post the mod with a real brand name (Example: BMW), it gets deleted instantly beacuse of copyright reasons
