I'm currently familiarizing myself with modding again and I've hit a bit of a snag that I hope someone here can help me with. I've been working on adding a new car to Dev Mode, but for some reason, it’s not showing up properly in the Spinner Studio or in the game itself. Instead of the car model, all I see is a yellow box. After viewing the contents of the trace file, this is the only thing that I see which appears to be preventing the model from loading: 0.87s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_05.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.87s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_05b.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.87s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_07.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.87s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_07b.veh matches an existing vehicle However, this line is being generated for the entirety of my car collection within Dev Mode which makes no sense at all, because they're all unique folder names and cars. I am trying to understand where this conflict is coming from, because it is even impacting the skip barber - which is default dev content (as seen above). I have previously not had any issues with car models loading into Dev Mode but for whatever reason, I am really struggling with this one. How do I identify what 'matches an existing vehicle' means?
After digging deeper into the logs, it looks like this may actually be the underlying cause and not the issue first listed. The reason why I have come to that conclusion is that after I removed my mod and re-run the trace, the same errors were appearing. So I appear to have been fixated on the wrong error! Here is the updated error: 21.93s vehgfx.cpp 6874: VehGraphics::RenameLiveryMaterials 21.93s vehgfx.cpp 6884: VehGraphics::RenameLiveryMaterials replacementName wccarbody_000 21.93s vehgfx.cpp 6895:

This part, it appears that in your Mod Dev, you have two .veh with the same name. .VEH names will need to be unique. What will happen is that it might not show up in the list. If you change the name to be unique, both cars will show. I was just recently doing some work on both the CART 1985 and CART 1990 mods. I had two cars named Foyt_Indy_14.veh, so they were no showing in the list. Changing one to Foyt90_Indy_14.veh, everything showed up. Second part: That is normal. That car may have some WC materials. The log is just saying that there were no specific WC textures for those cars and it will load the default textures. Hope that helps
Hi Chris, Thank you for your message, it is very much appreciated. Regarding the .veh files, I have checked every individual mod and they're all named differently, and this is what is confusing me. For example: 0.81s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_05.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.81s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_05b.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.81s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_07.veh matches an existing vehicle 0.81s setup.cpp 2709: ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle because the filename skipbarber_07b.veh matches an existing vehicle If I go into \rFactor 2\ModDev\Vehicles\SkipBarber\teams, I only see these 3 .veh files listed above, I do not have any duplicates and in my eyes, they are all considered to be unique. Also, thanks for reaching out to me regarding my secondary post. If that is not the underlying cause of the car not showing, then I am really at a loss on why it is not displaying in the spinner studio or in-game. Would you perhaps have a moment to check my log file and see if you can decipher the possible cause? I have been trying to diagnose this for 4 hours and feel like I am overlooking something very simple. For referencing - the car that is not displaying the model in-game is the URD_PX_Darche https://filebin.net/wcm27nt0n6rw5ppg/trace_2024_06_10_21_21_12-15.txt
Is your mod .veh named skipbarber_05.veh, skipbarber_05b.veh, skipbarber_07.veh or skipbarber_07b.veh? I would search from \rFactor 2\ModDev\Vehicles to see if there are duplicates If you are getting the URD_PX_Darche in Mod Dev, there could be a few things. 1. Make sure the folder path matches what is listed in the .gen of the car. 2. Mod Dev does not like loose "Main" files in a .mas. Extract the .gen, .sfx, .hdv, .ini etc and have them loose in the main car folder.
@Pales I can't see your trace because it's on filebin. You can attach it to your post here directly, no need to upload it somewhere else. As you said, the .veh message happens to the skip barber too, so I wouldn't worry about those messages. Even if they were an issue, it seems that would stop you being able to even select the car, when your issue is the car being a yellow box (probably a .gen issue, I guess). Your trace might indicate what file(s) it's having trouble opening/referencing.
Sadly, I see no duplicates at all. And this is just for skipbarber as well, I also have this happening for the URD_PX_Darche and the pace car. The skip barber I haven't made any modifications whatsoever to, and the same also applies to the pace car. It is really odd. I have gone through each of the folders separately and looked at all of the structures and they're all unique. Regarding the loose main files, I have referenced the original .MAS file and went through each file individually, and it is all within the main folder and all the other files in the corresponding sub folders as well. I feel like walking into a wall at this stage trying to figure out where it is going wrong!
Examples I have included 3 screenshots to showcase. - Example (an example of my folder structure and subfolders) - GenFileExample (an example of the gen file that is associated with the URD_Darche) - URDDarchTeams (example of the 3 .veh files all with unique names and no duplicates)
At first: ignore the ATTENTION: Skipping vehicle becau...... Lines And that a yellow Temp Car appears in the Garage or no Car in the Spinner, is caused by not found Files (gmt, Textures). Check, if all Search Pathes to the Folders of the extracted *.mas Files are correct. And if the Car uses Material JSON Files, extract them into a Folder too and Link the Folder as MaterialPath=...., like you do it with SearchPath=. And you can remove the Entry SearchPath=URD_PX_Darche and as the Link to the URD_DarchePX1_shaders.mas, you can use the Entry MASFile=URD_DarchePX1_shaders.mas. It will be found, because you already have the SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche, in that the mas File is (should be) located . If you can not get it showing up in Game, feel free to contact me in the usual Way.
Me again. Yesterday i couldn't open your Screenshots, but now i can and have seen that the Pathes in the shown Gen File doesn't match your Folder Structure. I can not see the Name of the main Folder, but you have to use the proper Folder Names and Structure in the Gen File. Example: In the Gen File you use the Search Path: SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche\mas But that Folder doesn't exist With your Folder Structure and if the Folder URD_PX_Darche is the main Folder in the Vehicles Folder, you have to use Pathes like SearchPath=<VEHDIR> SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche\URD_DarchePX1 SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche\URD_DarchePX1_lights SearchPath=<VEHDIR>URD_PX_Darche\URD_DarchePX1_shaders .... .....
Hi Chris, Thank you for your message. I cannot believe I overlooked something so simple, I am so frustrated with myself! The naming schemes looked so similar. Clearly I need to get some glasses as well! I'm also really surprised that this car works in the base game, because I have not made any amendments to the naming scheme, it is all entirely default, so I would expect it to crash because of the gen references but in the real game, it works just fine. Do you know why that is? Anyway, I am happy to say that after those amendments, it is now appearing in dev mode.
Hello Pales, the Answer is: in the main Game, simply the whole Content of all *.mas Files of a Component gets used, so that you don't need to have Search Paths at all.
