Bus Driver is a small bus driving game made by SCS (same guys from 18 wheels of steel) in 2007. It's a very small game, it's easy to play it has nice graphics and its easy to mod, well, at least replacing the textures it's easy, because replacing the 3D models is definitively not. I did some Chilean ads and billboards and replaced them in-game. I also changed some vehicle textures, added Chilean license plates on them and some other stuff, like painting a Van with a "Luniben Topfrio" theme, which is pretty cool. I tried to replace the stock coaches with some Brazilian (Marcopolo, Busscar) and a Spanish (Irizar) coaches (we rode these here in Chile), using a Brazilian mod as base, but they had some issues, like unmapped curtains. Those coaches were actually made for 18 WoS PTTM it seems, from what I read one of these buses was originally made by Countach (a Chilean 3D modeler-painter who makes Chilean coach replicas) He's a very well known guy in the Chilean bus mod scene and as far as I know, he only makes replicas for 18 WoS PPTM, so they probably converted the model to 18 WoS Haulin and then to Bus Driver, obviously something went wrong because the original curtains are unmapped and it looks bloody awful. I would fix it myself but I have no skills on ZModeler nor 18 WoS modding.
Here are some screenshots that I took today of the Chilean ads. They look pretty cool, and I will add more designs later.
About the buses, I am not sure if I should keep those from the brazilian mod. Those designs look pretty cool and realistic but the curtain thing really look awful. And the stock buses aren't that bad either, perhaps I should just repaint the stock ones.
