License Plate Randomizer gives every vehicle you buy a random license plate in the format of the map’s country.
Features
- A vehicle opened in the shop gets a generated plate, in the 3D preview and in the plate field, and keeps it when you buy it.
- A plate you edit in the shop before buying is kept.
- The map’s country is detected automatically.
- On German maps, farm machines and trailers get green agricultural plates, and cars and trucks get black ones.
- On British and Northern Irish maps, cars and trucks get a plate at the front and the back; farm machines get a rear plate only.
- The map’s regional prefix is used where the country has one. Northern Irish plates keep their own area codes.
- Letter and number combinations real authorities refuse are rolled again before you see the plate.
- The duplicate plate finder, default Right Ctrl + Period, lists vehicles that share a plate and gives them new plates, one at a time or all at once. When a savegame loads, a message reports any duplicates.
- Plates changed in the duplicate plate finder are shown to every player in multiplayer.
- Settings for message size, color, background and position, and the warning style.
- Right Ctrl + F12, default, opens the Kijbev help panel with the keys of every active Kijbev mod.
- Supported countries, 21: Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Ireland.
- On maps from other countries, the mod stays inactive and says so when the map loads.
Please note: The mod sets the text on the plate. The plate’s look, including background, font and euroband, comes from the map’s plate template, so a map that reuses another country’s template shows the right text on that country’s plate. German maps whose template has no green color show agricultural plates in black.
Changelog
v1.0.3.0
- On maps whose plate template sets the area code, new plates use it, not on Northern Irish maps, and the duplicate plate finder compares plates as they are shown.
- The duplicate plate finder key can be changed in Controls, and messages show your own key.
- In multiplayer, the duplicate plate finder changes plates only for players allowed to buy vehicles for that farm.
- Messages follow the game’s HUD scale, with settings for size, color, background, position and warning style.
- Right Ctrl + F12, default, opens the Kijbev help panel.
- On an unsupported map, a note at load says the mod stays inactive.
- On British and Northern Irish maps, farm machines carry a plate at the rear only.
- Messages from several Kijbev mods stack instead of covering each other.
- Long messages break into lines.
v1.0.2.0
- Added: edit or customize a plate in the shop before buying a vehicle or trailer, and the mod keeps your choice instead of randomizing. Untouched plates are still randomized as usual.
- Added: an on-screen note when you press the Duplicate Plate Finder key on an unsupported, non-European map, so it is clear the mod is inactive there rather than broken.
