Disc glow upload error with the Maserati mod

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Hi,

Can someone please help me out here with the maserati? The car doesn't load, it keeps coming up with a disc glow upload error. I have re-installed my entire game and uninstalled and re-installed my mods, and I have downloaded this mod numerous times, and the car still keeps giving the same error. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,
Xavier

Hey M8,

I never had this problem with the Maserati v1.7, I had with 1.5 (if I remember correctly). The DISCGLOW.DDS is inside the MaseratiGT_Cup.mas file which can be found ..\RFACTOR2\Data\Installed\Vehicles\MaseratiGT_Cup\1.7 directory.

Can you check this thu starting the mas2.exe and open the file mas file above mentioned?
What is the exact error?

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

I don't have a mas2.exe file?

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Inside the rFactor2\Data\Support\Tools folder.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, thank you. Will try that and report back.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

i don't have a discglow.dds, i have discglow.gmt and rfdiscglow etc.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, so getting the following errors.

error getting stats for DISCGLOW.BMP Error loading texture DISCGLOW for material DISCGLOW. Then Error loading global material DISCGLOW

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Here you find the discglow.dds:

It should be inside the: MaseratiGT_Cup.MAS file else I can understand the error message.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, found the dds file, now what do I do?

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Besides the discglow.dds there are also GT4_LFDISCGLOW.GMT, GT4_RFDISCGLOW.GMT, GT4_LRDISCGLOW.GMT and GT4_RRDISCGLOW.GMT

The GMT files are the 3D file with the information about it's material and shape, but also with which material "picure" it is done. Standard it looks for a BMP file when it cannot find the real file, in this case the discglow.dds.

Did you ever had an other (old) install location for rFactor2? So the game looks in the wrong (old) location? Did you ever had one of the older version of the Maserati?

It is just strange that the game cannot find the file which is just there....

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

I completely deleted my old install, and I never had an older version of the mod

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Very strange this. I never heared anyone had problems with this mod.

At the moment I am a bit lost...

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Am I not maybe missing files from a previous version?

 

[Ian Franssen]

if so I could check on my external harddisk if I might still have it.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Please do

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Get the zip here and unzip it and replace the files of your installed 1.7 Maserait

I've found an old version It's 1.4, hopefully it helps. I have to upload it to dropbox, takes a while. Will first wait if Stefan's solution worked

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, thanks

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, thanks as well Ian

 

[Ian Franssen]

Ok, thanks as well Ian

Xavier, stop the downloading it wont solve the problem. I recreated the problem for myself.

I started the Maserati before with everything on high settings with no problems, just like the settings Stefan has, I figured lets test with everything low (I could remember I once had troubles running it), and indeed I got the same messages you had.

So play around with the settings to get the car to work. perhaps it's car details or one of the other settings, that I don't know.

Good luck
