(Toxic Sand Dunes) not working after 0.33 update

Hi everyone,

I use this map a lot (toxic sand dunes) we got an update on beamng (0.33) just this week or not long ago and this map (only!) stopped working! I noticed the first time I got the Lua error once the first time then I never seen it and the map just stuck on loading state (pic attached) also noticed other maps acting weird like hard to load and funny stuff so I reinstalled the game and I noticed the same issue with the toxic dunes map but everything else is working good.
I did every troubleshooting I can think of nothing, what happen is I choose a map and it will show uploading and I can see the bar moving and it will stay like that forever, I tested it once it stayed 24 hours still trying. everything else works fine.

Any idea or we are waiting on new update after 1.2? when? who? where I can find it? or what is going on?

Note >> the Lua error disappeared never seen it since the first time.


Thank you

 

Texture / model / anything in the map that is wrong you can probably fix in the editor but if it a boot error you will have to wait for the mod creator to update it.

 

Thank you for the reply, can I reach out to the creator at least to let him know what is going on? also anybody is having the same issue I am having??

 

Same problem here. Same error.

 

if the dev hasn't posted in a bit then they will prob not respond but you can try to message them or post a review.

 

Having the same issue here, really hope it gets resolved soon. This was my favorite map, and I'd love to get back to playing it.

 

I am also facing this issue, if there's a fix please let me know as I tried every possible solution and went as far as coding the game files to try and fix it and I couldn't get it to work.

 

I know a couple maps that were dropped have gotten picked up by other modders that make a new copy, but I assume it take a bit.

 

Hi everyone,
I was able to fix it. The reason why it stopped working is the name of the map. The "." characters in the name cause the errors. I won't upload anything here now, but I can show you how to fix it quite easily:

All occurrences of the name in all files have to be changed. Here I was able to do it good with AlexKidd71's tool. With the tool I renamed the map and all file entries from "1ToxicT63es.5.0" to "1ToxicT63es_5_0" in one go aaaaand it works again .


If any of you want to do this, you could contact the author and ask him if he allows uploading a corrected version. Maybe the author will read this soon and correct it himself. Please understand that I don't want to take care of it myself because I'm just a little too busy on my own map project...

PS: Alex' tool also fixed a minor error in the info.json but that was not the reason why the level could not be loaded anymore. But anyway it is good to use the tool.

 

I tried it but the mod disappeared I couldn't find it in maps, I tried unpacking it as well.

Okay after a few more attempts, it actually worked, thaannkksss!!!

 

Some more hints:
Do the renaming task of the original map zip with Alex' tool (anywhere on you harddisk) first, then put the created zip with the new name into userfolder/mods. The old zip can be deleted after everything works fine.
