[HowTo] Register Vehicle Mods

[LamboMantisMan23]

Hi guys. I read as much as I can and understand some of it. Not sure where most of these files are?

I have enabled mods before with good results mostly. But am having a problem with the new Porsche 918. It shows in the index and I can click on it. The program crashes when going to track or garage. The wheel spins for a few seconds then 'unsuspected' massage I click ok and Pcars is shut off.

The car shouldn't be crashing the game. You must have installed incorrectly. Are you using JSGME?

Yes I am using JSGME. I have installed about twenty other cars successfully.

There is other options, no roof, wheels.... So I'm wondering if I was soppoed to install the packages?

It shows up in the index with a picture. I can even look at it if I scroll through in garage but it crashes if I just try opening the car from the list to garage or track.

Very strange, it must be something on your end because many people are using the car successfully

I am having a hard time understanding this. I have installed twenty or more mods that all still work but now I can't anymore.

I'm get a (unhandled exception trapped, EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) on the past three install. I can't figure out what I'm doing different/wrong?

You're not necessarily doing something wrong, this can happen sometimes. Did you try renaming your default.sav?

Renaming is better, so if it made no difference you can always revert back to the original.

Thanks guys! Will give it a try when I get home.

Over the weekend counted and I have 32 working mods. I uninstalled them all and just tried the Spyder but it didn't help. I have downloaded the F40 as well and its doing the same thing.

Got a similar problem:
First, the Audi R8 LMS 2015 doesn't even show up when I activate the mod with JSGME, even though it worked previously. I took a break from the game for a few months and came back today. I downloaded the Alpina b6 gt3, Ferrari 488 gt3 and the 650s gt3. The audi still doesn't show up, the alpina had an installer, but doesn't show up either. Then we come to the most frustrating bits: the 650s and the 488 do show up, but when I'm trying to look at them in the garage I get this message:
BDgbFatal
File:Source\Platforms\Win\CMeshPrimitiveType.cpp
Line:753
Func:MWL::Renderer::WinRenderer::CMeshPrimitiveType::LoadBinaryMeshFromResource

Mesh file does not exist: vehicles_488_gt3\ferrari_488_gt3_caliper_rr:loda.meb
after that I get the old EXEPTION_BREAKPOINT shtick and all.

I don't know what to do anymore. I deleted the savefile, no effect. I uninstalled and reinstalled the mods re-edited the mod.txt file, no effect. Nothing seems to change anything and I'm now reminded why I took the break from the game, but if anyone could help me I'dbe very thankful.

Edit: Got the Alpina mod to work, but that causes a crash to desktop, like the 488 and 650s, the moment I want to have a look at the thing in the garage. Same errormessage like above, just another mesh that wasn't found. It's unspeakably irritating.

Edit no. 2: Ran the game in both 32 and 64bit, makes no difference.

Dud i love your Mods. LOVE THEM. not sure you could use them in a competition. but for personal non commercial projects its of course fine.

FWIW:

As of 04/20/16, edited .crd files for existing vehicles will not load (which I guess makes sense as it is not in the list provided of loose files loaded by mods.txt), which means re-classifying vehicles is out. Ged said he might look into this - this way Custom Grid can be modified to use this new implementation. Custom Livery Tool has already been updated.

Any hope of getting non-vehicle loose files added to this as well? I'm asking with interest in the \championships\ folder, M4MKey would probably be interested in the weathereffects.bff to get the Lights mod implemented easily.

Finally, thank you to everyone involved in adding this support - makes things much easier for everyone to enjoy the mods that help us enjoy the game

so, there are no possibilities to exchange existing car model or car physics model in current version?
