Modding Q&A

[Fr8i]

Doesn´t seem to be the issue. SCS already added 800 slots for spawned vehicles and right now nobody seems to know why this issue still occurs:

Hey,

I'm new to the modding scene..
I have a question:
why can't I add a background image (a reference map) in the editor?

I think I did everything right..


map folder:

I tried both, with and without the .bak and .set files

material/editor folder:

these are all files needed right?

aalst.mat:

Code: Select all

material : "dry.tex"

texture : "aalst.tobj"
texture_name : "texture"
}

Have you checked your game log for errors? Other than that, I don't see why this shouldn't work..

[Tjoeker]

there's a whole bunch of errors and warnings, but none of them refer to the back ground, all of them refer to obsolete signs or roads.
I'm assuming everybody gets these errors?

well, infact. now that I take a closer look, I do get 2 warnings about my mods:
00:00:01.626 : [zipfs] Aalst Map.scs: read ok, 9 entries [0]
00:00:01.626 : <WARNING> [mod] Mod package 'Aalst Map' does not contain a manifest file 'manifest.sii', creating default information set.
00:00:01.626 : [zipfs] Project Aalst.scs: read ok, 7 entries [0]
00:00:01.626 : <WARNING> [mod] Mod package 'Project Aalst' does not contain a manifest file 'manifest.sii', creating default information set.

[Vøytek]

It's not important in map editor.
manifest.sii is needed only for Mod Manager in game - to display mod icon, description, name (different than file name) and so on.

[Tjoeker]

Can somebody test the mods I created?
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8rjiwbd4f ... _Aalst.scs
http://www.mediafire.com/file/otcitau12 ... st_Map.scs

or create the mods for me?

It's doesn't matter what scale you make it, I'm just trying to find out what the problem is.
Maybe I just need to reinstall the game..

[MandelSoft]

I've tried your mod and I encountered a problem: your first section in editor_data.sii is obsolete and will make the editor crash.

This is the new section:

Code: Select all

	sub_mode_types[]: 1 #terrain_item
	sub_mode_types[]: 3 #road_item
	sub_mode_types[]: 4 #prefab_item
	sub_mode_types[]: 2 #buildings_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 5 #model_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 36 #sign_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 15 #animated_model_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 28 #walker_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 34 #trigger_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 8 #cut_plane_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 9 #mover_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 12 #city_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 11 #no_weather_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 13 #hinge_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 18 #map_overlay_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 21 #sound_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 19 #ferry_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 23 #camera_point_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 38 #traffic_area_item"
	sub_mode_types[]: 39 #bezier patch"
	sub_mode_types[]: 42 #map_area_item

And I get a proper underlay map on my end if I do that.

[Tjoeker]

well, this is embarrassing..
It's still doesn't work.. :/
could you sent me the working mod so I can try yours?

edit:
anyone?

[yang20]

I need some help. I made road and few crossing on road. Someone know how to set country on road and prefabs. Probably because road havent setted country, cars spawns without number place. Or maybe I made something wrong in def file (this whole road is in city)

Code: Select all

city_data: city.telaviv
