I download the Promods with splitted Files, but can't unzip,
I have all files (7 files) from "promods-v217.7z.001 to promods-v217.7z.007"
The Testtool "promods-v217-test" also has an error. I download it more than 3 times, but theFiles are damaged.
Same to the Promod Files ... Why does the first file begin with and not with 7z, rar or zip .... ?
If I try to unzip it i get error : "archiv is not valid or damaged, the archiv can not open"
Any help will be great !!

Can you please show us the files? Make sure the sizes and extensions are visible.

This error usually only appears if the archiver can open flie 001, but not 002. This is usually due to a filename problem, or not all of the files being in the same folder.

All files must be in sequence for multi-span archives to work.

I tried changing the names in sequential order and opened it. Even then I receive the same error. The error states "Cannot open file as archive. Is not an archive". Can you help me on how to progress?

Changing the filenames shouldn't even be necessary. Did you follow our tutorial?

I've got the same problem. I want to change the compatibility of every single mod file to 1.28.*, but I can't.

not-working files:

promods-assets-v217.scs
promods-media-v217
promods-model1-v217
promods-model2-v217
promods-model3-v217

working files:

promods-map-v217

It says every time that the files are corrupted or an unvalid format.
I tried it with WinRAR 5.* and 7-zip (17.00), both gave me the same results.

It didn't work with 2.16, so I downloaded 2.17, but without any change.

If you wanna play this on the 1.28 beta I can tell you that this won't work because a beta isn't designed for playing mods with it ... with the beta you help SCS to search for bugs with their new featurs and so on ;)

Per SCS Software's own forum postings, beta testing is to be done on a clean profile, which means NO MODS.
The open betas are not to be treated as early access to new features, but unfortunately a lot of people treat the open betas like this.
Also, any bugs reports that are posted to SCS Software's forums while mods are installed will be rejected by SCS Software.

If you want to continue playing with ProMods and any other mods that you currently enjoy, please stick with version 1.27 of ETS2.
If you want to help SCS Software with their bug testing of their new features, enable the 1.28 beta and don't run with any mods installed to provide them with proper bug reports.

Additionally, the only open ProMods files are the def and the map files, the other files are locked in a proprietary format.
