Map Mods not wokring

[Lee_Harvey_TBAG]

I have recently purchase Spintires and have been using the vanilla maps and just learned how to install user created maps. I have searched everywhere for how to fix the "Missing files or old version error" I have downloaded about 6 maps and only one of them works while the others have not been able to load up. I have tried making sure the file itegrity is good in the steam client and running the game in legacy build but nothing is working. Someone please help me!!

first thing i would ask is why are you using legacy? second are the maps for beta or stable version? if stable they will not work for legacy if not mistaken. switch back to current stable build imo. other wise you are stuck with using legacy built maps.

I only tried running the game in legacy mode to see if the maps would load which they did not. I have downloaded all the maps from Spintires.nl I was told that many of the maps on the site were good. And yes with every map I downloaded I made sure that they were the latest and most stable version. I have found myself at a dead end as of now unless someone or you can help me fix the missing file error.

make sure to put both the .stg and the .dds in the Media/levels folder, if there's additional stuff, in their respective folders

which maps did you download?

[Lee_Harvey_TBAG]

I know i am doing the process of putting the maps in the folder correctly because one of the maps I downloaded is working just fine. I have downloaded: Level_Level, Nix Hollister Hills, Off the Grid by Roughrider, Bearpass, Smed Moab, and Expedition Overland Final

[vazool]

ok so i just tested 3 of those (moab, expedition overland, hollister hills) and they all work for me. have you tried deleting all the caches (MeshCache, TextureCache, ShaderCache)?

also just to make sure, you're not putting them into the media.zip right?

there are some maps on .nl that dont work for me but most do, having the "clear cache" app helps and only having a few maps installed instead of 50 helps as well, i also avoid maps with alot of cosume objects sometimes they will conflict with each other

[Lee_Harvey_TBAG]

I have not cleared the caches yet because I dont know how lol. If you could walk me through it that would be awesome. Also I made sure I was putting the maps in the media folder then the levels folder. I have one map that I have downloaded from spintires.nl that works perfectly thats why I'm so confused. Thank you for the helpful responses by the way (Not being sarcastic)

delete all mod maps files you do not want to use by deleting all folders in your spintires media folder. i recommend using one mod map at a time, others may say otherwise, but mod maps can over ride eachothers files because some map makers are too lazy to change their object file names which makes conflicting files crash the game or glitch the maps.

to clear cache, search your PC for appdata roaming folder, some people it is %appdata% roaming. delete the spintires folder inside and that is it. now add any mod map or maps you want to your spintires media folder. btw, you will lose any saved games you have before clearing cache.

[Lee_Harvey_TBAG]

I just cleared my cache and took out all the maps from the media folder. I then proceded to install only one map in the folder and then started up spintires and the missing file error came up still

strange, maybe try verifying game? i have had to do this a couple times before, but not often. then try again. it is the only thing i can think of at the moment. others may chime in to give advice maybe? if you verify you may have to set up some mod files bak up like tattoos shifter mod which will be need added back in after you get maps working. only other thing i can think of is making sure the maps are for latest stable build, which it seems like you are doing.

[Lee_Harvey_TBAG]

I have verified before but I just did it again to make sure and everything is fine with the game files.

if you've done all of that then i am not sure and you are positive you are adding the mod folders correctly? you are on stable build and not legacy. also stg and dds files in the levels folder and everything else if any (classes, levels, texturex, meshes) are in the meida folder. yes? then you are doing it correctly, so i do not know why it is not working.

Legecy version in beta tab is old version......for stable downloads opt out of beta and then paste maps in media folder

i do believe he knows this already. since the default game is stable and he said he switched to legacy.
