Slower Blinkers - All SCS Trucks

Description
Introduction & Description
This mod edits the blinker timing of every SCS truck to be a slower blinker. Is this realistic? Yes, actually, to a degree. Some trucks out there, be they straight from the factory, or just customized to the owners liking, have significantly slower blinkers.

Requirements
This mod obviously requires every single SCS truck to be installed. They're all free and downloaded automatically to everyone's game any time a new one is released. However, just in case someone, for whatever reason, has any SCS truck disabled/removed from their game, they are ALL listed as dependencies in the manifest file. This will prevent those who, for whatever reason, have certain SCS trucks disabled, from loading the mod then complaining their game crashed...

TruckersMP Compatibility
This mod is NOT compatible with TruckersMP. TruckersMP disables active mods upon loading into a server. There is no way to get around this, and as far as I know, blinker delay is not save-baked. Loading into TruckersMP with a profile that has this mod enabled will simply disable this mod and return blinker delay to the SCS default.

Convoy Mode Compatibility
This mod is compatible with, and is tagged as optional for, Convoy mode.

Features
Edits the time of the blinker_delay line in each of the SCS truck interiors to be longer, resulting in a slower blinker.

Here's a list of each SCS truck and their before and after time delays.

Note: The truck only has Digital currently, but has a file for Analog. If and/or when SCS adds an Analog interior, the mod will already support it and this note will be removed.

Truck Mod Compatibility
I do not know what all specific truck mods this is compatible with. All I can say for certain is that it will be compatible with truck mods which utilize SCS's truck interior filepaths. The likelihood of that actually being the case is extraordinarily slim though. At best, all I can offer you is to load this mod above any truck mods, and absolutely load it above any mods that edit SCS trucks. With any luck, MAYBE it overwrites it and loads this mods animations.sui files. No guarantees. I also will not be making truck mod compatibility. So please don't ask.

Sidenotes
Once SCS Software updates and adds more trucks, I'll update the mod to support future new truck additions.

I may or may not split each one off into their own separate mod. I realize something like this may be appealing to users for only a specific truck and not all of them. Especially where newer trucks are concerned. Some may prefer the newer trucks keep their faster blinkers, but want older trucks to have a slower blinker. If there is demand for separate mods for each truck, please leave a comment on the Workshop page letting me know. If enough people desire separate mods for each truck, I will make them while keeping this AIO package up.

I'm sorry, I don't make mods for ETS2 as I don't play it.

Hi, could you also do that mod for the Euro Truck SImulator 2? I´d love to drive to the new gen scania R/S with their realistic blinkers. Thanks!

The mod has been updated to support the W900 Legacy Edition cab and interiors. This update also fixes crashes related to the W900 that appeared after the Legacy Edition update released.

My apologies for any frustration anyone felt with their game crashing after the Legacy Edition dropped. I was experiencing the crashes myself and didn't know why until I had the patience today to start troubleshooting my 170+ mod list. In troubleshooting, I discovered it was my own mod causing it.

I have confirmed that the mod is now functional and the W900 crashes have stopped. If you are still experiencing crashes with the W900, it is no longer this mod causing it and will be some other mod in your mod lists causing it.

Apologies for any inconvenience, see y'all out there on the roads!

Mod has been updated for the Mack Pinnacle. Enjoy!

I'm working on the Mack Pinnacle now, standby for an update.

So, for the future, it really helps if you actually tell a mod author what specifically needs fixing or is missing. I admit, I completely missed the 2022 Kenworth T680. That's 100% my bad. But commenting "needs update" with no further information, that tells me exactly nothing about the issue.

That being said, I've updated the mod to add the 2022 Kenworth T680. No further updates are needed for any game versions, Open Beta or otherwise. Waiting on my game to downgrade out of the 1.51 OB then I'll push the update.

Firstly, there's no reason for all caps yelling. Please chill. Secondly, unless SCS changed filepaths, or changed how the animations are read, this doesn't need updating. And from the 1.51 OB blogpost, there doesn't appear to be anything listed to suggest as such.
