Need Help with my first mod

Post by Arthurcfbr »

Hello every one. I am playing FS17 for almost half year now and after the platinium edition came out. I think that it was a good idea to make South American specified trucks, so i start the research and the making of the vehicles. But when came the time to test the pack it doesn't show up in game and i get an error at the log.txt
This is the log:

There is a problem with the modDesc.xml, this error doesn't say anything else.
I assume people don't use Seasons, unless they say otherwise.

It looks like you missed to include a correct moddesc. Compare your mod to another similar mod so you will see what went wrong.

Yup, that explains the modDesc error ^^
