Hu guys im trying to load the btcc cupra in to my dedi server but everytime i do it gives me an error opening mass file.
I honestly am lost for ideas does anyone know of a work around for this.. iv tried copying files from my own rf2 game to to dedi to see if i could trick it in to thinking its installed an i says its installed but when making an rfcmp the car shows i package it and go to load server an car is not visible even tho its installed in correct place. Any help would be great thanks..

Did you copy the serverunlock.bin file from your (or any other) client to your server's userdata folder?
 
@jonno from your screenshot it also looks like you're including something (car? track?) in the vmod (.rfmod file). Normally people untick the components on the left hand side of the MAS tool when packaging, it creates a small (~5kb) .rfmod file that links the content but doesn't actually include any within the file. Whether that's another factor here, I'm not sure.

The car.mas is the encrypted one; without the serverunlock.bin you can't use DLC.

Hmm... no, not the way you've described above, no. I believe the .bin is only changed when new or updated DLC is released, so if you have a current one it should be fine. But the Cupra is the newest car, so I'd be checking that first.

Sorry, yep, I didn't look properly at what you were actually doing! But that makes me think it's probably the .bin, since that'll definitely stop it installing if it's not up to date.

Thinking about it i had the same issue 1 time with the bmw an astra but i fixed it with just copying the folders over from my pc to server and that fixed it but it didnt fix the cupra i think you may be right cus i didnt own them when i copyed over .bin dam if thats the case i spend 5 hours last night pulling what little hair i have left lol out

Well hopefully, but it's not about you owning them - all rF2 clients (just running the game) generate a fresh .bin every time. So someone who owns nothing can still run DLC on a server.
