    MODERATOR EDIT - DOWNLOAD IS TEMP. REMOVED, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

    So since I did this with the older maps, I thought I should do the older vehicle mods while i'm at it, and here is the result.

    So I went through vehicles sub forum and went though most of the available vehicle mods, downloaded the ones that didn't have the new file structure unzip them and repacked them with the new file structure that's it.

    The original files/folders that were uploaded with the mod originally remain untouched.

    DISCLAIMER
    1. I did not CREATE any of these modded vehicles, ALL CREDIT goes to the original authors.
    2. Since these are older maps some might not have a " preview picture" in the vehicle selector.
    4. some folders/zips could/might be spelled wrong, from the original mod, I repacked them in less than 10 mins I was "rushing" through them.
    5. The reason I did this, some people might not want to take the time to repack these older modded vehicles and they would just sit in the subfourm "abandoned". (Unless the original author updated the mod with the new file structure.)
    6. Could you use the unpacked method? I don't know, I tried placing unzipped folders in the new directory for non zipped mods, "C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods\unpacked" and it didn't want to show up, that was the whole reason I repacked them.
    7. Some vehicles speedometers might not work, as they are older mods, and things changed a bit since they were created.
    8. If for some reason your "stock" vehicles might not be working correctly, these modded vehicles could be the cause as files/directories etc changed a lot since these mods were made and some of these share stock files to work.
    9. I have tested every mod in this zip, for at least 2-5 mins with no problems, but could cause problems with your install.
    10.Some vehicles might have missing materials as they are older mods, and things changed a bit since they were created. ( they could have been missing for the original uploaded zip for the vehicle I don't know.)

    List of available vehicle mods
    22B Subaru.zip
    68 Nova
    Capri
    DK 81 720 Datsun
    DK MB
    DSC Patty Wagon
    DSC Pickup
    EVO IX
    Fury
    Golf Cart
    Hyundai
    Impreza
    Mini Van
    Volvo

    Install

    Open the zip up and drop the desired vehicle in to your "mods" folder.


    If this shows interest, I may continue repacking these older vehicles for future use.

    Thanks and Enjoy :)

    TDev said as long as credit is given (which is given in the OP) , they are all for repacking older mods.

    No they are only repacked, no editing what so ever.

    All these vehicles work, with no problems at all except for the things I mentioned in the OP.

    anything to do with skins, I don't know I never tested them I only tested the "base" vehicle and each config.

    This is kind of pointless in my opinion, however these vehicles may come into use sometime for me. :)

    Individual downloads + Link for original downloads are still preferred probably.
    Gives the original author the right credit IMHO.

    Also, if you want, and since I think it's probably a pretty idea we could:
    Edit the download on the original threads with the 'version' updated from you (And with the proper mention to your work).
    IMHO it's the 'most' correct way to handle these instead of just megapacking everything..
    It's not only about downloading a mod, but also reading the original OP thread and know who to thanks for the actual mod (at the end, the original author put in the actual work, if you get me)



    EDIT: REMOVED THE DOWNLOAD
    Let us discuss all this thing before bad thing happens ..

    So you are no longer allowing downloads of this mod? Kind of stupid if you ask me.

    SOMEBODY FIRE THIS MAN.

    Woah, calm down. You don't need to say "FIRE THIS MAN.". Just because he says something you don't like, you shouldn't encourage BeamNG to "fire" Nade.

    That's just no.

    This man also happens to be a staff member at BeamNG who has the ability to ban you.

    I think I like @Nadeox1 's idea. Better to give more credit than needed than to give too little

    Woah woah, calm down everyone, I Nadeox and tdev, are discussing this via PM.. in the end everyone will get what they wan't and ill be repacking the mods as I plan..

    I jumped ahead of myself... we certainly don't want the original authors of these MODS, to be angry as they have not received the PROPER credit. Before I even attempted to do anything I should have thoroughly discussed it with Nadeox and Tdev.

    Thanks.

    Your opinion is important for us. Thanks for sharing.

    You may have missed the part where I'm taking care of avoiding any possible flamewars and keep everyone happy. The last thing we want is angry authors coming at me with 'UH BRUH Y DIS DUDE IS REPOSTING MAH MOD?!'
    The download will come back in a more appropriate way, as even said above me.

    Some people (Not referred to the OP) seems to not care about original authors, just want downloads :|
    Wish you good holidays.
