Hello I am looking for someone who could explain how converting a version mod. For example, a mod version 1.24 transform it into version 1.25.
Thank you in advance. ;)

Hello, thank you for message

Hello your page is very interesting but there is not what I'm looking for: what I'm looking for is how to modify the version of a mod eg a truck.
Thank you very much.

You just need to edit the Manifest files if you want to change the compatible versions:

Is it possible that you do it yourself because I did not succeed from my mod?

All you need to do is to add the following line into the manifest file:

Code: Select all

compatible_versions[]: "1.25.*"
(that will make the mod compatible with ETS2 1.25 but it does not mean the mod will actually work in that version of the game)

If there's no manifest file, then there's no problem because mod can't be displayed as incompatible so it loads on every version...

It may be the physics file which is incompatible because I have downloaded a mod in version 1.16, there is no manifest file and is incompatible with version 1.25. I do not know why.

Technically speaking the mod isn't incompatible but outdated. I suggest looking at the game.log's output and looking for [ERROR] tags when trying to use the mod in-game. Once you find some errors in the game.log you can see which file is at fault and then you should edit that file or add it into the mod if it is missing (mostly the case with MAT files).
