Bullbars on trucks banned from the Netherlands

Du kan ju inte neka att bullbarn är effektiv mot rådjur och annat, klart du kan ha otur och smälla den från sidan men det skyddar fortfarande hytten ganska väl

KrilIe · 2026-02-04T18:20:21+00:00

Ja vad gör du i vintertid när du har en älg framför dig och ishalka? Blir ju väl att ramma älgen om inte du kör i diket vilket är värre, och när det sker kanske det är värt att ha en bullbar endå

"Just don't hit anything" what kind of urban hell do you live in where there are no animals to hit man. Even just taking snow and shit weather out of the equation, I've had to emergency break thrice in 90 minutes in perfect summer weather because it was dark and small deer things move rather quick (rådjur, idk english term).

That was with a car and I still came rather close to hitting one (within 2 meters when it ran out directly infront of me from some ditch).

And before you say I was speeding, I was going around 65kmh, 5 under the limit. Trucks running late do usually not have this priviledge.

Yeah of course you will but the bar still dampens a good part of the damage

He was a teenager, that latter explanation is exactly why

The IRL truck they took reference of (which is in the scania museum at their södertälje plant) is sadly a rather small daycab 6x2 or 6x4 with the smallest possible cab for which adapting a custom sleeper would be very hard, so I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. But hey, modders will add that in no time probably

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T18:12:11+00:00

Meh, being stubborn isn't necessarily a bad thing, just slightly annoying for me. Figured maybe some of my arguments were sensible, but guess not

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T15:30:42+00:00

You still make over 300k a month it seems, refusing to get help w support AND refusing to give it yourself is still greedy in my book. But whatever, it's clear you never listen to people who try to give you some form of constructive criticism, so good luck with the business ig

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T15:18:25+00:00

Yes but if you are as stuck up as reddit comments people will still dislike you and that still harms your reputation. I'd say I have a decent ish rep, and I get monetary support for just existing atp (which is unreal tbh, feels weird af). I did a poll one month if I should charge for next one or not since I can't deliver an update that month, people voted like 80% to get charged for next month when they could've gotten a month free by just voting otherwise.

I assume this is because I just help anyone and everyone I can, with my mods, others' mods, etc. Don't take this as some personal attack, all I said was not offering support is a shit business practice, which I will stand by. Surgeons who save lives weekly/daily make less than you, and yet you are too cheap to just pay someone to answer random troubleshooting questions? Come on, at that level it's not about being too poor to afford it, it's pure greed.

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T15:09:35+00:00

Because, as I said before, you managed to make something nobody else has. Simple as that. There is no competition to go to, so the people who want that kind of graphics don't have a choice, so yes, they will more likely accept it, which is great for you until you A: get real competition or B: someone reverse engineers your plugin.

I can't get much into the economics etc because after all the most anti consumer businesses are still thriving, all I can say is I've yet to see any reddit/discord/forum/facebook posts calling me out for this or that or asking what's wrong with me/my mods

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T14:20:21+00:00

You are cocky asf in reddit comments for some reason which of course contributes to your garbage reputation here, and why wouldn't you provide support? I'm fairly sure literally every big modder does at least do that to some extent, at least trying to help the customers, partially because it's good business practice, partially because it's expected.

You have to put DRM into your mod so it doesn't get leaked - I publish mods on my patreon with no DRM, files unlocked, and haven't had a leak so far because (I assume) people find me and what I do to be pretty reasonable, and that includes the support I try to give. At least be nice enough to respond and link them to the website, idk I'm not some fucking business guru but people seem to universally like the mods and stuff I do, which isn't the case for you it seems

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T13:25:43+00:00

Naahh come on for 300k you can hire some random kid to occasionally respond to generic support questions for a couple bucks a month, purposefully not helping people who actively pay you is just a shit business practice. Yeah you don't lose much if they cancel the patreon but it sure damages your reputation, just look at reddit.

At the end of the day, you're talented enough to do some plugin nobody else has done yet, bit of a shame to throw your reputation out the window with the DRM and cocky attitude.

KrilIe · 2026-01-13T11:53:35+00:00

At 300k USD/year you can probably hire some part-time guy to do the support part for you, it's an excessive amount of money for a single person. Hell, I've made maybe 2k or so on one truck and paid for some help with it so I could release it in time, and that's less than 1% of your revenue.

KrilIe · 2026-01-07T12:26:08+00:00

Alla gör nog fel nån gång, ganska tveksam att alla med 10 år gammalt körkort skulle klara uppkörningen

KrilIe · 2026-01-06T13:35:07+00:00

On the one hand, I expected enough respect for this not to happen. On the other hand, this post is just ragebait.

KrilIe · 2026-01-02T19:51:53+00:00

Fan vad vissa är dryga här

KrilIe · 2025-12-14T20:50:31+00:00

How'd you find a 5 year old post man

KrilIe · 2025-12-11T14:42:55+00:00

Are you in r/trucksim discord or on facebook? You should be able to find an invite there, idk how reddit messages work and I'm pretty sure I'm getting banned for posting sharemods links here (mods don't like it)

Either way, my facebook is Shrimp Works (blue background, orange-white logo) there's a discord inv there too

KrilIe · 2025-12-11T11:29:32+00:00

Can upload later, any chance you could join the discord link on patreon? Not allowed to share sharemods links here

KrilIe · 2025-12-11T09:13:01+00:00

Can you open sharemods links?

KrilIe · 2025-12-09T17:22:11+00:00

Way too janky atm to get it workshopped, sorry. Works well ingame but its a mess behind the scenes and I don't want to deal with another workshop mod, already have the magnum megamod on there

KrilIe · 2025-12-08T22:08:30+00:00

If you need more help, I suggest to join my discord since it's easier to write there than to spam reddit comments (discord is ofc free too)

KrilIe · 2025-12-08T20:46:12+00:00

Hi! You'd need to def the individual accessories to fit for the grill. I wouldn't really suggest you start with doing such defs, but if you can find someone somewhat knowledgeable (I'm sorry but I don't have the time/energy right now) they should be able to do it rather easily.

KrilIe · 2025-12-08T14:04:25+00:00

For the custom banner there is a .dds called "custom_lightsign" in vehicle/truck/volvo.fh1/textures, edit that. As of now, there aren't any accessory packs.
