I'll try to look at this on the weekend. I think it is possible.

The mod removes the display of the cargo completely. I wasn't too worried about it, as you do have to be zoomed in quite closely to see the cargo in the car anyway.

It is, quite simply, a compromise I made when I did the mod. You could of course model each compartment's cargo display separately, but that would require a good deal of experimentation, I should think. Testing it would be quite an adventure, as it is not easy to find a situation on a map where you can be assured of picking up small amount of 2 or more cargoes at the same time.

If you have copied the .mdl files for these vehicles into your mod folder, then yes they will all load all the time.

Rather than modifying the mdl files directly, you can use a modifier function to changes the values programatically as the files are loaded.

Have a look at the stock 'Vehicles - No End Year' mod to get started on doing that.

If you want a little more detail than that, have a look at the mod I posted on Steam a couple of days ago that add compartments to the stock box cars.

You could take that and change it to include the stock trucks.

AI traffic, eh? I like the idea. People who continually battle traffic congestion simply won't use it. Might make sense to include a density option so folks could keep the quantity of AI vehicles under control.

Those are looking really good. Looking forward to using them, once you're ready to release them!

Looking really good!

So I wrote a function:

local function parseTable(name, ttable,file)
for k,v in pairs(ttable) do
local stringOut = string.format("\n%s; %s; %s; %s", name, k,v,type(v))
if type(v) == "table" then parseTable( (name.."."..k),v,file) end
file:write(stringOut)
stringOut = ""
file:flush()
end
end

where 'name' is a convenient text label of your choice,
'ttable' is the table you want to explore, and
'file' is a file currently open for output.
You will note that it is recursive, so will walk through an entire complex table of data.

You could call it on the variable 'game' thusly:

runFn = function(settings)
local file = io.open("e:/interface.txt", "w") -- change the path to something that will work on your system.
parseTable( "game", game, file)
file:close()
end

That will give you everything in the game.config sub-table, which is where most of the stuff is located.

I certainly find some of the locations of game files and folders to be inconvenient.
I just created a folder on my desktop called 'TF2 Stuff'
I dragged shortcuts to all of the awkwardly located files and folders into said folder.

Certainly, just about everything in settins.lua is settable programmatically, so your approach would work - set everything based on values saved in another file. Just seems like a lot of work.

Indeed it did. Here it is with the 20191213

Du ich habe gleich nach dem Aufrufen von Transport Fever 2 einen CTD bevor überhaupt die Titelseite vom Spiel kommt.
Die "stdout.txt" habe ich angefügt.

I'm getting essentially the same error. The only difference I see is the lua_State pointer:
