*ok, EAA doesn't work if u don't give it a little help :P
luckily the file is uncryptable, otherwise it wouldn't be compatible....thanks for that 8-)

If uncrypted (what I had to do with previous ProMods aswell, as the EAA map caused crash due to an corrupted automat-file and needed to be fixed)

• fix the corrupted automat
/automat/12/6fac7c2a950c2493fc19e8df1a0e481d49dad0.mat

correct lines in that file should read

Code: Select all

material : "eut2.none.fx" {
	substance : "rumble_stripe"
}
• ProMods Compatibility READY
what to do, open up EAA goto def/world:

Code: Select all

remove the lines: 
terrain.mat.168	---> terrain.mat.175 from terrain_material.sii

remove the lines:
bld_model.1031 ---> bld_model.1033  from    building_model.eaa.sii

remove the lines:
bld_scheme.scheme1031 ---> bld_scheme.scheme1033  from   building_scheme.eaa.sii
Ok, removing lines .....could be painful when playing - but these lines are duplicates as far as I can see it so they are present in game anyways and should work.

I haven't driven much in EAApart of the world,
there's so much more to see in ProMods country :P , but I like to have a big Worldmap to see - NO crash sofar downbelow...been teleporting and using ferries...
These removed lines should only affect EAA, if a crash will occur it will be there ;)
Thanks for your tutorial but how do I open the archive in game? This is not something I have a lot of experience doing.
This fix is still valid for EAA 4.1.2

@ShirBlackspots

If it is, could you send it to anywhere? :D
Or is there already an on-line version?

Yep, its online now, check this post at the SCS forums:
http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=676957#p676957

In addition to these edits, delete the following:
1.) Delete \def\vehicle\truck\
2.) Delete \def\vehicle\truck_company\

This removes the invasive truck and company changes that affect the rest of the map.

I had also been deleting the following files in previous versions in \def\vehicle\:
traffic_storage_car.eaa.sii
traffic_storage_semi_trailer.inovar.sii
traffic_storage_truck.eaa.sii

But now, I'm not completely sure that's actually needed.

ShirBlackspots this is getting a bit confusing as the file names given in the instructions by mike7O don't match the updated files. Specifically the \def\automat\12 entry is not readable and the rest of the .mat files are. Does the \def\vehicle\truck_company_uk\ need to be deleted also?
Were the errors fixed in the update?

Seems it would be prudent to let the author make the necessary changes then update the links rather than each user having to make the changes.
Well...off to experiment.Will report back.

The errors mentioned still persist in 4.1.2, that's why I said its still valid for 4.1.2. You must have rebuilt the archive incorrectly. Only automat 12 should be corrupted, and no truck_company_uk doesn't have to be deleted. I haven't seen any evidence that it needs to be.

And as for the traffic files to delete, these are the ones you delete in \def\vehicle\:
traffic_storage_semi_trailer.inovar.sii
traffic_trailer_type.inovar.sii
traffic_vehicle_type.eaa.sii

Your quote of Mike7O to edit /automat/12/6fac7c2a950c2493fc19e8df1a0e481d49dad0.mat is one thing that confused, hard to edit a file that's corrupt. I'm glad you have verified that it is corrupt for you also. So that part at least is not valid for 4.12, correct?

You also stated " But now, I'm not completely sure that's actually needed." to delete:
traffic_storage_semi_trailer.inovar.sii
traffic_trailer_type.inovar.sii
traffic_vehicle_type.eaa.sii

So are you sure yet, or is it just to be on the safe side?

I'm not being critical of you I just want to be clear. I really appreciate your information as you are one of the few source I've found. Working so far with your instructions. :)

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Can anyone confirm EAA 4.1.2 works with Promods 2.15 + RusMap 1.7.1? With EAA 4.1.1 the combination crashed @ Volgograd.

Best regards

@tbar, use Notepad++ to edit the mat file. Even if you use the Windows notepad, you can edit. The file isn't actually corrupt, it's been scrambled by the rebuilding process.

BTW, for those sii files, check this conversation: http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... &start=520

@Frachti there was a fix for that, somewhere (RusMap thread on the SCS forums, I think?)

Hello, sorry for the inconvenience, but by chance you got a fix for promods v2.15 and EAA v 4.1.2 ?? thanks for listening.
