where do you download new maps and vehicles? and can you use more than one vehicle per map? like auto you use a hauled and the xj at the same time how does that work?

 

Check here: http://repository.rigsofrods.com/

 

Basic instruction. Download the .zip file, place in: My Documents\Rigs of Rods\packs, start up the game. As Rob suggested, only add one at a time in case there are problems. To get more than one truck in the game just pull away from the garage and walk back to the office.

 

I need to learn how to make a truck. I have a very good MJ model that I used during school when rendering SketchUp scenes.

Interesting. I have not experienced any issued with the RoR sites while using Google Chrome, which usually happens on sites. If you have an e-mail account that can accept up to 10mb I can send the .zip. PM your address if you want.

 

I am going to attempt making an MJ model. We will see how well this goes since tech-talk hurts my brain :shake:

 

Edit: started learning how these trucks are built. Just a little goofing off I did while trying to learn this stuff:

My version must be different.

 

I can't drop vehicles in the packs folder. I can't even find it. I open the streams folder and then go into vehicles and drop the zip file in there. It has worked for most of the files. I was having the problem with the XJ just crashing the game. Some how I deleted the zip file and the XJ stayed. It works but my CPU is too slow for it.

 

I got a trailer pack that has 2 trailers in it. One with a gate and one without. I had to drop that pack in the terrain folder to get them to work.

 

There are a few other packs that have been freezing the game on start up too. I do not know why they do it.

 

Can someone take a screen capture of the proper way to download vehicles into the pack folder? I think a lot of compatibility issues are because I am going about it the wrong way to introduce vehicles into the game.

Version 0.36.2 here.

 

You are simply placing the vehicles in the wrong folder. Go to "My Documents" [NOT My Computer]then open the "Rigs of Rods" folder. You will see 6 folders, one of which is named "packs". Simply copy the (.zip) file you downloaded and paste it in the packs folder.

(Note: your file path may read C:\My Documents\Rigs of Rods\packs)

 

You can see I have a few trailer, trucks, a Camaro pack, and the Rock Crawl track. All are working well together. As Rob suggested, I only put one .zip file in the packs folder at a time in case there are any issues with the game. This way I would know what caused the problem, but I have not had any issues yet.
