Missing mod files

[FarekHD]

I downloaded some mods and because of a lua error (some sollison or something) I deleted some of them from the directory. Now i cant start a custom game, because the game can't load one mod. I tried to resubscribe for the mods on steam worshop but i'm sic of doing that. So is there any way to find out about of the missing pathway what mods files are missing?

Doesn't the lua error message give you any clues?

[FarekHD]

Just the pathways to the mods directory: .../Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/446800/782417728/mod.lua
and an error messege: No such file or directory

[killakanz]

so the way to figure out which mod is giving you this error:

/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/446800/782417728/mod.lua

446800 is Transport Fever's Steam ID. The number after that (782417728) is the mod's workshop ID.
So, we simply paste the workshop ID number to the end of:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=

And so here's the mod you're looking for:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782417728

I had to unsubscribe to all mods and assets, cannot use any of them because of the Content file locked, used the link above (thanks) and basically all of them had to be deleted.. so disappointed

Installing Steam in C:\Program Files directory can cause such in many games.
If so, reinstall Steam to C:\SteamLibrary and that's it you won't have file access errors again.

I had the same problem but when it gave me a lua error and gave me an ID that didn't exsist.

If the workshop ID doesn't exist it probably means the mod was removed from the workshop.

It's very rare for mods to be deleted from the workshop, but a little while ago the author behind the DMA series of mods was accused of stealing material from a Train Simulator addon for one of his mods. When confronted about it, instead of defending himself or simply removing the mod in question, he deleted all of his mods from the workshop. Dozens of popular mods vanished in one go... It's caused havoc for thousands of players...
