Other Automobilista 2 Content Manager 0.3.0

[s.thomas63]

I have just released version 0.1.6 that does not require any configuration change.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for creating and sharing this. It's excellent!

I'll put a question here in case someon here can help (but I suspect it's nothing to do with this content manager mod). I've installed Azure Coast, Cali Highway and Sugo and I notice that all the buildings are white blocks. Can anyone give me a tip as to how to fix it?

And here's a question re this content manager mod:
If I want to install one new mod (and supposing I already have a lot of mods installed via this content manager mod), how do I install that one new mod without uninstalling then reinstalling all the mods that are in the Enabled folder?

EDIT: I fixed the white blocks problem. Just needed to install the PC trees

you can‘t update without uninstalling first. But since it’s so fast it’s not a real problem, is it?

Just drop the new mod's archive file into the Enabled folder and re-run AMS2CM; it will automatically uninstall the current mods and reinstall everything including the new mod. You'll have about enough time to shotgun a can of Schlitz, maybe two, before it's finished.

As FPSR wrote, you can't at the moment. If will come in a future version.

Thanks for the tip. I did what you suggested, but I quickly had four shots and a beer instead of the two prescribed shotgunned Schlitzes. It's all working fine now anyway and I feel great too.

Thank you for this great tool!

Can you make sure that you are running AMS2CM v0.1.6? The "ExcludedFromConfig" section of the config file was changed specifically to support the IndyCar 2.0 mod.

You can also follow the instructions in the "README_Install_Indycar.txt" inside the mod archive and check that AMS2CM has done all the steps for you (including the optional entries). For example AMS2CM v0.1.5 by default would not add "vehicles\IR-18_2023_My_Team\IR-18_2023_My_Team.crd" to the "vehicles\vehiclelist.lst" file.

I've got a wee problem.
I had installed a few car mods and track mods and it was all working fine. I then downloaded the IndyCar mod from RD and put that in the Enabled folder and re-ran this Content Manager. The content manager uninstalled then re-installed all the mods, but at the end I get this message:

Error: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\Pakfiles\BOOTFLOW.bff'.

And I can't find any of the mods in AMS now, and then i couldn't start AMS at all.

Any tips for a fix?

sorry for asking, but I do not know how to uninstall mods via content manager.

It's probably the first point in the "common issues" section of the guide. On Windows 11 every game update seems to reset permissions in the game directory.

"Uninstalling All Mods" is documented in its own section of the user guide.

Thanks a lot for the advice.
I've found where/how to give permissions in the AMS2 folder. But what do I give write permission to? Is it 'Trusted installer'? Me? 'All packages'? something else?

"Uninstalling All Mods" is documented in its own section of the user guide.

Uninstalling All Mods​

If there are no files in "Mods\Enabled", all previously installed mods and bootfiles will be uninstalled. This is especially useful before upgrading to a new version of the game (see above).
I keep the mods that I don't want enabled into a "Mods\Disabled" directory, that is also how the GUI will work.

So, I moved the mods to Mods/Disabled, ran the CM, but mods are still in game.

But I will try again after uninstalling everything manually and doing a data verification in steam.

Edit: After the Steam verification everything worked fine.

i checked and there's everything in fact in the game shows correctly (same in the showroom) but it crashes when load a session...

You probably can't see the .exe part because Windows is hiding it. If it doesn't load, please make sure that you have installed the requirements in the user guide.

Some users have reported game crashes because the mod comes with an extra tab at the end of records in "vehicles\physics\driveline\driveline.rg". Unfortunately it seems to be an issue in the mod: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/indycar-ir18-2023-mod.256695/page-15#post-3678621

Can you try with this build of AMS2CM? https://github.com/OpenSimTools/AMS2CM/actions/runs/5168685610

The AMS2CM archive in the Artifacts section at the bottom of the page applies the fix that has been suggested. I don't have problems installing the IndyCar mod, so can't test it myself.
