{{Infobox Road}} is the Infobox used for describing roads featured in SCS trucking games.
It should be used for storing basic information, and the data presented in the infobox should be as simple as possible.
Usage
Copy and paste all of the text below onto the road's page:
{{Infobox Road |title = |icon = |image = |imagecaption = |game = |dlc = |country = |state = |length = |speedlimit = |added = |euroroute = |distance0 = |feature0 = |what0 = |distance1 = |feature1 = |what1 = |distance2 = |feature2 = |what2 = |distance40 = |feature40 = |what40 = <!-- Add "distance", "feature" and "what" groups as necessary, maximum is 40 --> |distancex = |featurex = |whatx = |map = |mapcaption = |video = |videocaption = |previous0 = |system0 = |next0 = |previous1 = |system1 = |next1 = |previous2 = |system2 = |next2 = |previous10 = |system10 = |next10 = <!-- Add "previous", "state" and "next" groups as necessary, maximum is 10 --> }}
Parameter List
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
title | The name of the road. Default is the road page's title. |
icon | The sign of the road as rendered in the game it's featured. |
image | An in-game screenshot which is representative of the road, preferably containing a sign showing the road's number. |
imagecaption | Description of the image. |
game | The game(s) involved in this road page |
country | Countr(ies) passed by the route. Use this for ETS / ETS2 roads. |
state | State(s) passed by the route. Use this for 18WoS / ATS roads. |
dlc | State any DLCs if applicable. Can be omitted for ATS as long as its DLCs stick to single states. |
length | The length of the road as indicated on game map. It's highly recommended to use the length unit of the country this road is in (i.e. mi for roads in United Kingdom or American Truck Simulator, km otherwise including Euroroutes). |
speedlimit | Speed limit for trucks on this road. Use <br /> tag to separate specific sections' speed limits from general ones.
|
euroroute | The Euroroute(s) designated along this road. Use this for ETS / ETS2 non-Euroroute roads. |
feature0 - feature40 & featurex | A total of 42 rows (including beginning at 0; end at x) describing the features on the road. This parameter now utilizes Module:Map icons. Refer to documentation of that module for valid values. |
what0 - what40 & whatx | The detailed description of the road feature. Try to order the features as follows:
|
distance0 - distance40 & distancex | The distance of the feature from the beginning of the road |
map | A map with the entire road highlighted |
mapcaption | Description of the map image |
video | A video featuring the road |
videocaption | Description of the video |
previous0 - previous10 | The number of the route preceding this one. |
system0 - system10 | Used for the "previous" and "next" groups to describe the type/location of the highway system. Order the features by:
|
next0 - next10 | The number of the route succeeding this one. |
What determines the beginning of a road?
ETS / ETS2
A road may start / end in one or more of the following kinds of places. Using the following priority list, please assign the beginning of the road as the place having higher priority.
- Capital Cities
- Cities
- Country borders
- Major roads
- Minor roads
- Dead ends
In case the start / end points of the road are of the same priority (e.g. both are capitals), the one comes first in alphabetical order or having a lower number (for other roads) should be the "beginning" of the road.
ATS / 18WoS
A highway will have a cardinal direction associated with both directions of travel, which is posted on signs along the route and at major intersections. The directionality of the highway determines what its beginning is.
- For a North-South highway, the beginning is the Southern terminus.
- For an East-West highway, the beginning is the Western terminus.
In the event that a highway's signed direction changes along the route, but the highway has definitive termini, the general directionality of the highway should be determined. From there, the above metric should be used.
For example, US 101 is labelled "North" at both of its termini, but because its Los Angeles terminus is much farther south than its Olympia terminus, the Los Angeles terminus is considered the beginning of the road.
In the event that a highway is a closed loop, having no definitive termini, the beginning and end are at the junction with the highest exit number. The junctions should then be listed by exit number in ascending order.
