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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 How do you get the XJ? http://forum.rigsofrods.com/index.php?topic=19860.0 Download the .zip file and simply place it in: My Documents\Rigs of Rods\packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The program crashes when I select the XJ. Anybody else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hmmm, have you added any other .zip files to the packs folder? It is possible the forum download link was bad, try the repository link: http://repository.rigsofrods.com/show/squishyjeep.zip Do you get any errors, or does it just shut down? Try messing with some of the settings in configurator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ300 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm having trouble downloading new vehicles too! :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 i did too. i messed with some of the setting in the configurator and got some of them to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Remember that you do not need to do anything to the downloaded file. Do not try to unzip it or anything. Just place the zip in the packs folder. It took me a few times to figure this out :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ300 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 http://forum.rigsofrods.com/index.php?topic=19860.0 Download the .zip file and simply place it in: My Documents\Rigs of Rods\packs But when I right click and "save link as" a download error pops up and says an unknown error has occurred, please try again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 just click on the link. it downloads. drag the file from your downloaded folder to the packs folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah, it just gives me a pop up with a worthless wiki link. I have messed with configurator to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 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: Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 well here is my latest trip. got the XJ all loaded up, and so is the camper had to stop off at the RTI ramp really quick. pretty flexy for leafs... then it was off to the rocks. was going good until i hit a few "steps". wrong wheelbase for them so i had to giver some throttle. well that didnt end well..

Some how I deleted the zip file and the XJ stayed. It works but my CPU is too slow for it. 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. Image Not Found (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.
