No problem
If you put the original version of resource.assets back in the folder to replace the modded file, does the game launch?

Yes, if I put the original version of this file the game works. the game start ok

 

[enzoli]

Thanks for your suggestion BenRHJ
I took the Team names out of the official site :
https://www.formula1.com/en/championship/teams.html

 

[bwoah]

Yes, if I put the original version of this file the game works. the game start ok

I am out of ideas I'm afraid
Has anyone else had this issue?

Not sure if anyone is trying to use this mod on mac OS, but when I launch the game, all the text is pink and then the game crashes right as you get to the main menu. Any one experience this?
When I put the original resource file back, the game had no issues running.

Myself and enzoli are looking into this as I'm on a Mac myself.

Did you change ratings at all? like current rating and potential rating?

To use this beta mod, remember to first backup your file "resources.assets" in your MM Data folder. Then uncompress your download in that same folder.

Can anyone help me with this? I don't know how to backup a file. And when I backup it, should that backup file stay in MM Data folder?

Make a folder in your documents folder called MM Backup or something and just drag the original resources.assets file into that folder, then just place the modded resources.assets file into the MM Data folder.

Yes. I don't think there's much left unchanged in the drivers file actually.
Didn't changed wages but I just did for next version.

Just make a copy of it in the same folder ad call it resources.assets_backup. Then unzip the file in there and when prompted to replace the existing one just click yes.

I personally think Kvyat's rating and potential should be lowered a bit.

 

[Scoots]

Have you downloaded the latest game update from Steam before replacing the resource assets file?

i get the very same thing here but it works again if i use the original resource file

 

[Scoots]

I receive this error and the game does not start: crash report foilder named '2016-12-03_164036' next to game executable.

sorry should have said i get this not my post above

 

[enzoli]

Sure.
By rating you mean the stars or the abilities?
If you're up giving me some feedback on drivers abilities, I'd be more than happy to edit them.

 

[enzoli]

Looks good mate. Just noticed a few guys with the wrong nationalities: Gasly, Bernstorff and Maini.

Game seems to crash when I try to sort drivers by nationality on scouting.

Thank you for your hard work

Crashing game when sorting free drivers by abilities is now fixed.

 

[BenRHJ]

Stars, attributes and potential.

 

[Stefan94]

I have the same problem like Shinobi85 and Scoots. My game does not start and I receive the error. And when I use original resource file again it works normally.

 

[David Danser]

great mod, although i like gp2 to be awarding points to the first 10 instead of 6.
which text asset do i need to mod ?

 

[enzoli]

Sponsors textures for liveries are all done.
Also 16 new free drivers added thanks to bwoah.
And all the bugs you reported so far are corrected.

Updated first post for progression.

 

[enzoli]

Done with drivers.
197 real drivers with full details. Not a single fake one anymore.
1st post updated.

 

[enzoli]

Happy to announce that a specific file of this mod will be available for Mac users too.
We tested with bwoah and it's rocking
