But if you have one folder exemple
mcs\ inside the folders livery_xxx
when you go change the car, you only see 1 picture and the names 00/01/40..
and you don`t see the pictures for cars.

If the program goes to folder mods\mcs_livery_xxx if you have the picture for car you go see in the program.

That's easy, here's one, @briochebro;

All i did was my regular unzip to the mods folder and into a subfolder with the name of the zip file you download.

I don't think you're talking about the same thing here.

I'm talking about the interface drop-down when you're in mod manager and clicking the install button. With a multi mod pack, you get a drop-down menu instead of it just installing, the menu options are of the different packs.

What i'm talking about is if you see the menu option of "00" "41" "42" instead of the name of the folder in the actual livery pack, then i want to edit the folder names or their structure so it reads that info to the drop-down menu instead.

yes is true, not the same.
I see the pictures if I go to left or right side, but when install i get the same pisture for all cars (in this case mcs)
see the pictures.

Alright @briochebro i've worked out what causes it.

If the sub folders for the multipack livery have replacement names for different default liveries (livery_41.pssg - livery_43.pssg etc.) then mod manager will just name the different skins based on those numbers.

If all the livery files are the same number in their name (all called livery_41.pssg for example), but in different folders, mod manager will list the folder names instead.
PS, not all the default liveries are showing correctly, the VIP liveries do not show for the Escort or the VW Polo RX, it does show for the Peugeot 405 PP. 405 is the 9th and the Escort should be the 10th livery, sorry i can't see the Polo's until i get more CR.

Any support planned to install mods directly from zip files ? As I saw a 7z.dll in the folder.
Thanks for this great app

Sure, you can directly drap and drop zip files into the app and it works very well.

@MaDMaXX, thanks for clearing things up. You are right, in a multipack mod, I only revert to folder names in case the liveries use the same numbers.

About the VIP liveries, I'm not sure how I can help, since I'm not a VIP (even tough I started playing the day it came out in early access last year). Can't you see all liveries in a custom race without buying the car?

Oh, yeah, duh, of course i can, however, they're all the last livery in the line, so if the Polo RX as 8 liveries, then the VIP one will be the 9th.

Not sure how you show those livery slots in the program, and as i said, the 405's VIP livery is showing correctly. If i can provide you with something there, let me know.

So any plan on changing the way the multipack mod works then?

briochebro · Apr 7, 2016

For the moment, I don't plan on changing the multipack method, I prefer to keep things stable.

If you want to send me screenshots of the wrong liveries from your game, please do. I'll try to update it.

All you need to do, is go to each of the livery files (the pssg files) and make sure their numbers are the same as each other.

Yeah, i think i saw you say you just used snipping tool, unless there is a better way, i can do that for you so you have the 00 liveries for the two other cars?
