Conversion from rFactor 1 to rFactor 2: INVISIBLE CAR!

Hello,

Well the title is pretty self explanatory...
If you want any specific info tell me.

If anyone could help me it would be great :).
 
If I get it correctly, you do see two "shadows" in front of you as being the two wheels, right?
What do you see when you look from outside the car; like a trackside camera? A yellow (temp) car?

This happens pretty often to me after converting; the .gen is not pointing properly at the folder where all the .gmt's are.
You may want to take a look at that.

This is EXACTLY my issue. Glad to know i'm not alone!

Well can you give me a scheme of a correct .gen linking please? Because i did base myself on the SkipBarber's (car of ModDev), though it gave me an error at 3/4 loading.
 
I can and will, but it has to be later today as I'm not close to my system right now.

The real problem is something else......
I do have a scheme and when I convert a car, I always do exactly that. One time it works, the other time it does not.
Its one of the strangest things to me and I have no clue. Almost every time, the path is different to get result while the place/folders and such are exactly the same.

I will send you one that managed to work for me 3 times; should be good enough ;)

Ok, thanks a lot for your help!
Just in case, this is the one i have for the moment :

SearchPath=RRL_2016
SearchPath=<VEHDIR>RRL_2016\mas
SearchPath=<TEAMDIR>
MASFile=RRL_2016.mas

//----------------------------------------

SearchPath=<TEAMDIR>
MASFile=team.mas
 
Sorry for being this late......I got home, got busy and almost forgot about you.

Well, in terms of: "a picture says more than a thousand words", here it is:

Np for the delay!

I tried this and it blocked at 3/4 loading and gave me a crash error : Error Loading mesh file file name.
Any ideas why? :confused:
 
Eehhhhmmmm.......now its getting hard for me.......

Did it literally say "file name" of was there the actual name of a file?
Was it in devmode or the "real game"?
 
The error that it gives you will tell you what your problem is. You're either missing a GMT which will be fairly obvious if you look further down the GEN file to see what's being referenced. OR it could be a missing texture - 2 ways to sort this: change the texture of the shader with 3dsimed, or create a texture which is missing.

On the plus side, if your car is getting as far as a temp car then it means your physics must be working. I've recently tried to convert a car and it crashes with no errors, no sign of trouble in the trace file, and no other sign of anything wrong! Some cars are definitely more difficult to convert!
