Hi i have been able to convert some mods and some i have not been able to it tells me this, https://imgur.com/AzcNzeI And that i can not open the mod! Im using Gaints Editor 8.1.0.

Do you have permission from the author of this mod? I doubt if anyone will help you if you haven't got permission.

check the log file

Here is my log https://imgur.com/a/1ooP7et and at the very end when I close the window with the warnings and errors it tells me "Erorr: Cannot open mod"

Hello, rather than create a new threat, I'd add to this one. I'm converting a pickup from FS17 to 19 and I've hit an issue I can't solve.

What is confusing me is that I had the truck ingame and working, but after I went back in to update the lights and the attacherjoints, the above error popped up and now the truck doesn't appear in the store preview and won't let me purchase it. Can anyone help me?

Hello
You might have added some nodes in the tree that shifted the indexes and so the engine cannot find anymore the camera.

I haven't messed with the order of the nodes any and It still hasn't worked for me.

As of 12/29, this is what I'm getting. I used the basegame "pickup 2014" as a base for my truck and I still don't understand why this truck won't work.

Get rid of all those scripts. That truck has support for a lot of scripts that are not yet converted over to FS19. Get rid of all those lua files for now and you might be able to add those features back in later. I am working on another conversion myself and I found it easier to just remove all custom scripts.

Also, double-check that those lights and attacher joints did not change the index order of the parts in the file

Thanks for the advice. Now, I need help finding where those scripts are. I looked on the editor under the "scripts" tab and I couldn't find them, also, I couldn't find it in the mod folder itself. I also made sure the lights and the attacher joints match.

Check the xml for any references to them. For example, passenger mod looks like this:

Check the xml for any references to them.

Okay, so I checked the xml and I found nothing. Is there anything else I can do?

Nothing I can think off. If the game is detecting those scripts, they're there somewhere.

I'll figure it out eventually, thank you for your help. What is confusing me is that it appeared in game before and I was able to buy and drive it, now I can't due to those errors.
