Hi, I've just downloaded the V8 Supercars track mods and i'm trying to get them to load in the game so I can practice. I've unpacked the rar file in the locations folder. Gone into the game and chosen that track but all I get is a splash page for the RDTCC Season 10, it doesn't go any further. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but don't know what.
I've seen that behavior too. Are there other files in the zip beside the track folder like this: track.zip - trackname folder - somefile.mas If so, the other files need to be in the root of Locations. Or is it possibly something like this: track.zip - trackname folder - trackname folder I've seen some like that, too, I think. In my experience, assuming it's not an outright compatibility issue, the behavior you're seeing is caused by things not being extracted exactly right. Hope that helped somehow!
the rar unpacks as: track name track name track name with some .mas files i've also tried removing the first folder level but still didn't work gamedata/shared has only 1 .mas file

This is the part I was really getting at. To confirm, are you extracting the ".mas" files into Locations, too? I've seen that if that step is overlooked, the behavior of seeing the track splash but not actually loading happens. So ultimately, you should be adding a folder and the .mas files to your Locations directory. Not sure what's happening if that step is covered.
the .mas files are still in the track name folder should they be at locations folder level? The other tracks in the folder appear the same way. track name folder, inside is another track name folder and some .mas files.
i've just done a comparison with a folder that is already there, the mod contains a file called commonmaps.mas whereas the others don't.
I don't have my computer available to me to look at the game and mods, but I'm pretty certain that that .mas file should be going into SCE\GameData\Locations\. Is that what you're doing? SCE\GameData\Locations\commonmaps.mas
no i've just unpacked the rar and copied contents of the folder to the locations folder. Tried, still doesn't work, these things should come with a health warning. Do you have barbagello2013? This is the the track i'm trying to install at the moment, i've got all the other V8 tracks to do yet.
I downloaded Adelaide with out issues, you say copied contents of folder to locations ? You don't need to open up the folder an try to paste files one by one, always keep the folder intact unless advised I always extract to a blank desktop folder first then to locations by cut an paste Edited
I assume you're referring to this? http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/barbagallo-raceway-rdtcc-s10-edition.8695/ I just downloaded it, and all I'm seeing in the rar is a folder with the track name, and that contains the track itself, so it needs to go into Locations. SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013 Where "Barbagallo2013" is the parent folder inside the rar. That will leave you with: Folder: SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\Barbagallo2013 Files: SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\Barbagallo2013GMT.mas SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\Barbagallo2013MAPS.mas SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\ReadMe!.txt SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\Sky.mas SCE\GameData\Locations\Barbagallo2013\Sky2.mas As Paul said, do it all in one go, which will help ensure that everything lands where it needs to be. If that's what you've done, I have no idea why it's not loading, and as I said earlier, I don't have access to SCE to test right now.
Weird... I don't know why I couldnt get adelaide and Calder Park to work as I downloaded the same file everyone else did and installed it the exact same way I have done with every track I have ever put in the game but doing what I did in that thread I linked to made it work even though others said that that shouldn't have worked and couldn't understand how it did! Good luck in getting it to work !
That is exactly what I have. Unpacked to desktop, dragged folder into locations folder. I've verified files from steam. Won't be able to participate in races if I can't get it working.
what is the .tdf file as the game locations have one but these mods don't, i'm just clutching at straws
That should have done it. Just to be 100% sure since it sounds like you're doing it right, when you extracted the file to the desktop, did the folder that you move into Locations contain the track, or a folder with the track, as such (because this would be wrong, just making sure we're covering all our bases): Desktop\Barbagallo2013\Barbagallo2013\[folder and files and such as covered above] It sounds like you're doing it right, but since I don't see anything else wrong here, I'm grasping at straws, too. I'm not sure what those are, unfortunately. Perhaps someone that knows more than I do can answer that...
