how to convert a rarfile to something useful ( like ZIP or SCS)
Posted: 02 Apr 2022 17:02
I bought this morning ( CEST = central european summer time) a mod via GUMROAD. The modcreator ( let us call him "HUGO" there is no need to trash him ) send me a RARFILE instead of a zip/SCS file. When I unpacked the RARFILE som folders showed like materiel, def and vehicle. You
Know the same files that shows up when we are unpacking a zipfile instead of just copy the zip into the game's modfolder. I contacted "HUGO" and and he says it is my problem to convert the file into something useful.
I have now came so far that I have converted the rarfile ( 400 MB) into a SCS file by using 7zip. it can now be founded in the modlist. After activation it still does not show up in the SCANIA dealer or the MODdealer. SO I proberly have done something wrong.
I have also tried to compress the unpacked folder (1.8 GB ) into a zip with the same result as before. Can be found in the modlist but no Scania 143 at the dealer in the game itself.
so I am afraid that the mod is obselet because many of the files are from 2020 and older. And again "HUGO" claims that the mod is working also under patch 1.43
I know that the Ekualizer edition of Scania 143 is no longer availble in an useful edition. Someone has tried to convert it into the 1.43 patch without any substantial luck meaning it can be driven but the latest development from SCS like windows opening and sound has not been 100 pct updated
with kind regards
