[REL] Historic F3-Eve Community Pack

[Vanisch]

Quick question: why is the mod file in version 3.0 displayed as Damage in the mod manager.
The series is also not displayed in the game.
But the skins etc. are installed and working.

And .. what strikes me is that I hardly hear the engine, but I do hear the tire noise or the wind noise.
Where can I adjust that so that I hear the engine more?

Thanks for your help!

Damaged mod comes from another rfmod that has another version of Community mod I should think.
I disabled Community Mod V2 DX11 and rfmod of V3 and V3.02 load fine in both all cars and series.
With latest version I got the file naming changed so this won't happen again.
This usually occurs when the file naming is not specific even though the file is different versions.
This is why all rfcmp should be named with distinct version on the end.
You will notice a lot of mods in rF2 don't have version numbers on them.
When updates of these are installed they overwrite the original file and corrupt any rfmod using them.

All cars and series

I can hear engine okay now ?

Examples.......



You can see what happens updates of packages with no version numbers will overwrite the old ones.
When rF2 or mod manager start they analyze and work out it is not the right file for the old rfcmp so it comes up "Damaged Mod"
Of course anyone that never makes rfmods will say " what's the problem ? " Fair point
Thing is rF2 is the only sim that you can actually run multi versions of the same mod side by side
Even official content what a bonus, you can jump from one to the other quickly and test where in all other sims you don't have anyway of doing this, old versions are gone forever.
You would think rF2 would get extra 10% for this one feature.

So what I am saying is all mods should use it as intended to give full flexibility it offers.

As far as the sound: Settings> Sound> on the bottom left is "LEGACY SETTINGS" I have mine set at
Sound effects volume 11%
Engine Volume 100%
Tire Volume 95%
External volume ratio 63%

Sounds great to me, and if I have to I adjust the volume of my external speakers with the volume knob on the speakers themselves.

Is anyone still making skins for these? I know it's been a few years...

 

[Johnny Speed]

[8Ball]

Author agreed to doing updates for new skins from time to time.
Would love if anyone with wheel or other ideas could get involved.

Need someone to do a new thread as Page 1 can't be edited to update driver list and changes.

Deleted all mods and package, installed the old skin pack 3.0, installed the mod file,
Doesn't work Mod Damage!

I give up... just can't pull it off.

I'm trying to make my own modfile.

But thanks for your help and effort

Check your installed/vehicles folder.
There must be remnants of a package left behind.
It is the only possible explanation as the package works with fresh rfcmp.

Historic Community
MatraSR4L
etc.

 

[8Ball]

Should look like below

I said with the original mod there was a issue.
I did have "Damaged Mod" myself the first rfcmp with V3.00 I made.
I then got SR4L to change the file naming to include the version number on the end of the file.
This fixed my issue but I only had issue because I had old Community mods and old SR4L mods installed.

Anyone does a fresh install without either of those mods should have no issue in all cars or making a basic rfmod.
Just to be clear you did download the new version right ?
Historic Eve F3 Community Pack_V3.02.rfcmp

 

[Vanisch]

I hope we're not talking past each other. In any case, thank you for your help.

I have now installed the Community Pack 3.02.
That works too. But the mod file from 3.0 doesn't work for me.

I'm trying again now. I deleted all the old ones with Historic and only put the community pack 3.02 on it.

I have had issues myself last days arguing with people that tell me file naming will do nothing.
Well sorry they are all wrong in certain circumstances it can have effect.

All packages should have _vx.xx on the end which means that each filename is unique which means it can't overwrite anything right ?
This will stop "damaged mod" for good I been telling people this for 10 years but it falls on deaf ears they know best.
It is no use to people who make rfmods when they download say Formula70's with no version number on the file that workshop then overwrites the last version ( without telling you ) and before you can properly disable the old rfmods and old packages. You must retrace your steps. 1. uninstall the new mod 2. Uninstall the new package. 3. Uninstall and delete the old rfmod and package 4. make a new rfmod.

Sheesh lol

Not rocket science and I am so useless I could not pack a mod to save myself lol

[Vanisch]

So...The 3.02 pack is going so far. You see the modfile..doesn't want to. I create a new one myself. Should hopefully work. Had already tried it, but got a parsing error.

Thanks so much for your help...

 

[8Ball]

Look I am not having a go at people but I been battling this 10 years so I deserve a pass.

P.S. what I think it is some think because 2 files show different version numbers in Mod Manager that Steam sees them as different files. it doesn't.
It is all in the file naming, not what mod manager tells you in that little column

No ones fault, most people don't know this because they have never browsed
D:\STEAM\steamapps\workshop\content\365960
When you do you see a lot of package with no version numbers.

Also lol
Don't name packages and content in ALL CAPS
All it does is throw the lists out by moving them to the head of the letter.
BATHURST_2016_V3 v3.0 comes before BahrainIC_2022 v1.11 ...and so forth

Another one is why do modders have to name the file one thing, the installed package another, then in the list it comes up as something different again. lol
Why not have all 3 naming identical ?
rF2 is hard enough better if people can find things where they should be.

yes...thats fantastic...thanks

Vanisch, can you post a screen shot of your Mod manager. You can find the program at in \rFactor 2\Bin64\ModMgr.exe
This will give you more details of what could be the problem.

What you are showing in your screen shot is a Server Mod, not the car mod it's self.
Unfortunately your screen shot above you have cropped out the last number of the version number so I can not see what it says. If that says Version 3.00 or Version 3.01, then that is the problem. You are safe to delete it.

Out of curiosity where did you get this Server Mod from?, did you make it yourself or did you join a server some where that was running the old version?

 

[Vanisch]

@DJCruicky

first of all thanks for your help. I have to say that I didn't want to write anything more about it because I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. The mod file from Pack 3.0 cannot be installed for me.
I have now uninstalled everything that could have something to do with EVE and have now downloaded this pack here. It is version 3.02.

this package is now running fine so far and I can use all the vehicles without the rest of any other MOD from the EVE cars hanging in there.
The correct version is also displayed in the ModManager.

I started a session with 20 cars here as a test. All skins are displayed clean and there are no leftovers from old mods.

Now I have copied the modfile from version 3.0 into the package directory and that's where the drama begins.


The mod file cannot be installed in the constellation because he wants version 3.0.

If I now uninstall the 3.02 package and install the 3.0 version package, it runs independently without a mod binding.
but when I then want to install the modfile, I get a Damage error in red writing.

I have now cleaned everything again and only pack file 3.02 is running.
If I now try to create my own mod file with the ModManager, it works so far.
