cant get the locomotives mods to work

[Ba᠌ ⁧⁧lmachim]

absolutely no idea, tried using the internet, obvious, but that didnt work, didnt lead me anywhere
the mods im trying to install are TEM2, GRONK, GP40-2 and ST44-1102
tem2 is "not supported"
and the rest 3 mods get either error while installing or "only zip files are possible"

From memory these all require a mod that allows for these ones to be used.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but it kinda sounds like you're using Unity Mod Manager to 'install' the locos. If you read up on the Custom Car Loader mod page (or the page for each loco) you'll see there is a specific folder you need to unpack the loco files into.

Perhaps its helpful to think that CCL is the mod (and can be installed via UMM) whereas each loco is more of an addon for the mod (with different install instructions) and not a mod itself

sorry for the long break, i did put the mods in the mods folder of CCL and even unpacked them, though the locomotives still dont spawn, even after a clean save theres nothing, is there any fix for this?

I'm quoting from the TEM2 mod page, check again that you have done these steps:

Download and unpack .zip [or rar] file
Place folder into Derail Valley\Mods\DVCustomCarLoader\Cars

The result should be the folder structure:
...\steamapps\common\Derail Valley\Mods\DVCustomCarLoader\Cars\[mod]\[modcontentfolders]

Then:

Activate comms radio spawner mode [in the esc menu]
Find [Locomotive] entry
Spawn locomotive on tracks

Where exactly in this process are you stuck?

well ♥♥♥♥ i guess theres the problem, i thought that i could get license for the locomotives and find them randomly spawning around the towns

I was wondering if that might be the case. Most car/wagon mods can spawn naturally but none of the locos do. There's a game logic reason for that but I don't know it

yea youre right, the reason might be that the locomotives just dont have licenses that exist that you can buy, hence theyre not showing in the license menu and cant spawn by themself either, no license = free locomotive, the train cars as mods can spawn since i believe you just dont pay for them,and they cannot be bought
