mods unknown

after the update I put my cars and maps from the unknown folder into my vehicles and levels folder but now when I'm in the game called all cars unkown and I know where where an image this is what they are, although I can all spawn but if there is no picture I do not know what I spawn, someone has a solution for it?

 

ok thank you

 

Thx m8

Something's changed since 0.3.8.3 regarding vehicle mods, maps are fine so far. When I opened 0.4.0.1 for the very first time all of AR162B's mods where still there, in the selector screen,
and loaded just fine. The older Gavril police mod showed up as the white "unknown" and spawned invisible. There are others that do that as well. Was there a further tweak in the
multi-dae scheme? Just looking for a clue that could help get some mods to load if possible.

And yes, caches were deleted on these mods multiple times.

 

ok so playing a few mods i was mostly correct.

If you copy an "info.json" file from an official car and replace the info it will load with the name and whatever options defined, didn't try deleting lines or leaving blanks to define defaults.
Screwed up earlier and didn't notice it dropped files i copied into the main mods\vehicle folder instead of the actual folder it was needed for

fill in the blanks, drop in your folder. delete cache, reload game, should work.


I love taking apart the new updated stuff and figuring out what was changed and how it all works.

 

Currently attempting this process with maps without success.

 

Did it work? I do have some "unknown" mods, would like to fix them...!

 

You are replying to a nine month old thread. That being said, so much has changed I don't even know where
to start except to say that all mods these days are the responsibility of their respective owners and not an issue
with BeamNG per se.

BeamNG is constantly changing and broken mods will be a fact of life for a few years I imagine.

 

Thanks a lot for your answer! I got the "B-25mitchell", "DIconcept" and "Jump_derby" mods broken... Actually it is my son who plays the game. He's 8yo, and is a bit pushy about me getting the mods fixed. Is there anything I could do to fix those mods? Should I learn to model maybe?

I'm really sorry about bugging you with this, I'd just like to fix the mods for him...

Thanks again for answering!

 

No problem.

Unfortunately broken mods are the responsibility of the author to fix. There are cases where someone will try to
fix other peoples mods with varying degrees of success. It is heartbreaking to have a loved mod go 'old and unsupported' and unplayable but it is the nature of the beast.

Fixing up a broken mod does require some fairly serious education and commitment. Usually folks in this fine
community respond well to effort and commitment. Pestering authors to fix their mods rarely produces the desired
results either but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hopes this helps and your son understands.
