How to download and install mods for Automobilista?

[hodge like]

Hi all,

I have downloaded Nurberg, Monza & Flat 6 using Winrar. I placed the files in the respective locations & vehicles heading of the game but cannot get them to work in game. What have I done wrong.

My method was the same as I do in AC.

Cheers

The easiest non-techy way to get a straight SCE car mod to work in AMS would be to extract the mods "Gamedata" folder only, then just choose "All Cars & Tracks" in AMS and they will show up on the vehicle list.

Has anyone used the rFactor Sports Coupe mod in AMS, i have imported it using rFactor tools and the Lotus and Ferrari cars work fine, but the MR2s which i want to use have a blanked out windscreen.

If he'd done it right it would work

@hodge like can you post two screenshots please of our gamedata/locations folder and one of the folder below with one of the mods in it.

Pretty sure you have placed it one level too deep.

For future downloads:

1. Download the files to your desktop
2. Unzip them there
3. Open the folder and look for a folder with the name of the track. For example Spa-Francorchamps
4. Copy the entire Spa-Francorchamps folder. (right click on it -> copy)
5. Go to the location of your game. This might look something like this where x stands for the drive you are running your games from: X:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista\GameData\Locations
6. Go into the locations folder. Don't hover over an existing map and right click "paste" somewhere in the white area to paste your Spa folder
7. Boot the game and play.

Most people unzip the file and then place the entire folder in their games which means yours will looks like this probably which is wrong: Spa_AMS_V1.01\Spa Francorchamps

You only need the second part to be placed in the locations folder.

X is the placeholder for your HDD where your Steam folder is located.

I got the Ring-2007 and the instructions are
Unrar the package and drop its content into your "Automobilista\GameData\Locations" folder.
Copy and rename your original GSCE commonmaps.mas file to your "Automobilista\GameData\Locations" folder with the new name "commonmapsGSC.MAS".
What is GSCE
The tracks show up but Im getting a commonmaps error.

What is GSCE

It's the predecessor to AMS. If you do not have that title, better to stick to tracks already modded for AMS. They do not need any files from the prior game. I believe all tracks here on RD under AMS will work out of the box.

I did get the Nordschleife from RD.

The one that says this?:

WARNING: Basic GSCx Patrick Giranthon's track conversion

Or this one?:

edited GSCE Version by Com8, 6e660 and friends + Mister X, Dave Begley and Bram Hengeveld

Sorry, these may be the only two not fully-compatible AMS tracks on RD. Because everyone wants a Nords, people put up GSCE versions.

I don't see a "2007" version. Can you provide a link?

I didn't read very well ghetto first time. He does say to use a file from Game Stock Car Extreme.

 

[Dann Murillo]

Hey I have 3 versions of Nords ported to AMS, uploaded to MEGA. I will PM you so it does not get deleted here.
