Installation issues - Outback Roadies

[KatSWM]

Hope someone can help. I dl'd the 1.0 version but I keep getting an error. The map doesn't seem to be loading. I have a zipped file called v1.0 Outback Roadies main. There is another zipped file inside the Mods folder called V!-Australia 10K-OutbackRoadies which I'm assuming is the map. Unfortunately I can't seem to post  a pic here or I can't figure out how to do it.

Here's the link for the Outback Roadies posting thread, for future reference.





V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies.zip is the zipped World. It is a large file and zipped in this way to reduce the download size.
The hosting company doesn't like file sizes greater than 100mb either, and that's another reason for zipping it.

Step 1. Unzip V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies.zip into the Mods folder.

Step 2. Ensure the folder hierarchy is:

V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies as the top folder with a ModInfo.xml file inside.

If the hierarchy is V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies / V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies / ModInfo.xml is means it has nested another V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies.

If this happens, the World will not be visible in the World selection choices. Some zip programmes double nest files in this way.

Extract to

V1.0-OutbackRoadies\Mods\

and not

V1.0-OutbackRoadies\Mods\V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies.

@arramus thank you for the reply but I'm not sure what you're saying tbh. Unfortunately I can't seem to post pics sorry

I dl'd a zipped folder called "V1.0-outbackroadies-main" which unzipped to a folder of the same name.

Inside that folder I have another folder also called "V1.0-OutbackRoadies-main"

Inside of that one I have "Mods"

Inside of that (after I extract "V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies") I have

- 0-SCore

- 0-XNPCCore

- Outback Roadies Optional Mods

- V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies

- V1-OutbackRoadies

- modlauncherconfiguration

- Readme

- Terms of Use

- V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies (zipped)

Normally I would just click Manage and browse local files and drop the mods folder in there but when I do I get an error. I am then able to get to the start screen but like I said, the map is not there.

This means you downloaded it directly from Github, as they also have their own zipping features and zip it as V1.0-outbackroadies-main.

The hierarchy in game will be using the in game Mods folder, so it will look like this:

- Mods

   - All those other folders and files inside the Mods folder.

   - 0_TFP_Harmony (and this folder should already be in there by default)

The V1-Australia10K-OutbackRoadies has the world in it and should appear inside the game world choice menu as Australia 10K Outback Roadies. If it's not, check it's not double nested.
