DRIVER ARMS UPDATE Crashing mods

[cjhill44]

Hi,

I have downloaded the F1 1992 & 1994 mods ages ago and played them successfully up until the recent update to the driver arms however when I choose a track and try to load either of them, the game just crashes.

I see others have had problems with various skins and mods and have simply added a reference to the upgrades.ini, in each .veh file, however I noticed mine already had these as this example shows below...

HDVehicle=1994F1.hdv
Graphics=B194_06.gen
Spinner=B194_06_Spinner.gen
GenString= // Used to generate GMT names in *.gen file
Cameras=B194_cams.cam // Defaults to cams.cfg in UserData directory
Sounds=Ford_HB.sfx
HeadPhysics=1994headphysics.ini // Affects driver eyepoint only
Cockpit=B194_cockpitinfo.ini
Upgrades=B194_upgrades_06.ini
AIUpgradeClass=


I did however notice that the upgrades files did not have any reference to the Arms update, so I added one for each upgrades.ini file in each vehicle folder for the mod, as show below for the 1994 Bennetton...


UpgradeType="Driver arms in cockpit"
{

Instance="WHEEL"
Instance="DRIVER"

UpgradeType="Driver arms in cockpit"
UpgradeLevel="Arms Off"
{
Description=""
GEN=<ARMSA>=B194_ARMS_OFF.gmt
GEN=<ARMST>=B194_ARMS_ON_A.gmt
GEN=<ARMSB>=B194_ARMS_ON_B.gmt
GEN=<ARMSC>=B194_ARMS_ON_C.gmt
}

UpgradeLevel="Arms On"
{
Description=""
GEN=<ARMSA>=B194_ARMS_ON_A.gmt
GEN=<ARMST>=B194_ARMS_ON_A.gmt
GEN=<ARMSB>=B194_ARMS_ON_B.gmt
GEN=<ARMSC>=B194_ARMS_ON_C.gmt
}
}


After doing this for ALL the updates files (swapping B194 for whatever the corresponding car)
I fired up the mod again but still it crashed upon track load.

Originally I was getting an error message that popped up in a dialog box that said 'UNKNOWN_TOKEN_ARMSA' but now the game just crashes to desktop.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and know how to fix?

BUMP: I am having the same issue with several mods. Is there a solution?

In the short term, turn off arms. That solved it for me as they don't look that great in the first place. Reiza acknowledged it was just a fill-in. We'll have much better ones in their next title.

I don't even have an option to do anything with the arms yet it still crashes and gives the error.

You can't choose arms on/off in showroom?

Or use the master setting that affects all cars under Display in Options?

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

For the mods I am using they do not have the option in the showroom, and I did turn off the arms in the display options as well.

Figured it out. The VEH files are missing a line which refers to the call for the upgrades. Since the mods I am using are based on models that already exist I can just copy over the line from another car that already has it.
