SCS Box Trailer Edited: Chromed Frame, Door, and Bumper

Description
Compatibility
Confirmed to work with 1.47


Edits (replaces) the SCS box trailer to have...
- bodies in all sizes: chromed frame
- chromed door: chromed frame
- "exclusive" bumper: overall chromed

WHY EDIT/REPLACE?
To allow maximum compatibility with third-party accessories that can attach to the trailer body, e. g. some painted reefer units, or lights.

If you want to use a trailer with the default frame again, then simply disable this mod. It won't crash the game. If you use a trailer that uses the legacy, standalone custom accessories, then they will be missing from that trailer.

Covers:
- to all three types: dry van, insulated, and reefer trailers
- all types of doubles and triples

Comes with:
- custom markers accessory with attachment points
- chromed side wall, available via rear door: "chromed sides and frame"

Compatible with (among others):
- basically all tuning parts you know from the default SCS box trailer, but here are some ideas:
- Wheel Tuning Pack DLC, Smarty's Wheel Pack, Alcoa Wheels, and others
- Accessory Parts for SCS Trucks (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=938656604): painted reefer units
- Boreman LED Marker Lights Pack (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1317972379, via "Markers": "Custom Markers")

This is a product of imagination, not trying to imitate a real-life trailer.

Future plans:
- edit/replace the "exclusive" dolly bumpers
- edit additional front and rear accessories, e. g. add a chromed frame to the regular door
- maybe add additional attachment points to the rears, and bumpers

Note regarding legacy parts:
I will keep the standalone chromed door and bumper as a legacy option to not crash anybody's game, in case they have it attached. But this mod now directly edits/replaces the original chromed door and "exclusive" bumper, too.

Requests for collaboration are welcome!

It looks like you've pretty much abandoned this mod but if you ever decide to update it I have one request. Will you please change the rubber bumpers on back from chrome to black.

@WombleFlopper sorry, I can't. Neither do I develop it actively anymore, nor does it work like that. To avoid overwriting the SCS trailer chassis, I decided to lnk the side to the door. This made the mod more stable against future changes by SCS.

Can you make it so that you can get the chrome sides without having the rear door be chrome? I'm trying to get the skin for Bottomley to be as it is IRL with the chrome trailer sides and the logo on the door but there isn't an option to keep the door painted.

Thank you or your reply. I have a custom painted reefer trailer and the chrome trim all around looks SO good. You did a great job.

@TruckBoi691, I think I remember them to the rear doors...

how do you get the stainless walls I did it before but now I cant find it

@SmokeStack_684 – No worries. I could imagine doing that. But at the moment I need to manage my resources. This mod is not under active development as of now. To be honest I intended it to be as low-effort as possible, and I am happy that it obviously works without further adaption after recent game updates.

I know a lot of people have ideas for you and I don't mean to be one of them. But it bugs me that the (SCS) sliding tarp trailer has a dull aluminum front on it . All of the real ones I've ever seen are polished to look like chrome. Do you think you could do something with that trailer? Just asking.

@Randy Purdue – It's been a while since I worked on it. My approach was not to need to unnecessarily overwrite SCS models. This comes with constraints.
