GPS map is black

Unread post #1by room217au » 23.12.2020, 13:20

I have an old mod of T408-SAR. I believe it's an RTA truck?
Anyway, I've resurrected it for 1.39 after downloading from some mod site.

I made a custom gps and truck info mod that places two Magellan units in the cab of any truck that I've added the slots to.
This mod's been working perfectly in every single truck for at least 6mths now.

The T408 is a great truck, even though it uses the T908 interior, but that's fine with me.
But.. whenever the 408 is present in my mod folder, the GPS (route advisor map) is completely black. It also affects any other truck in the mod folder whether lower or higher priority. It's weird.
If I remove the 408 from my mod folder, everything goes back to normal.

There are no errors/warnings or any kind of clue in the game.log

What the HELL could be doing this?

ok, but can you give me clues as to why the GPS screen would be black?
Even before I start the truck, it's a black screen. I'm asking for advice.

I don't see the 408-SAR in the RTA Shop?

I find it difficult to answer this question
I don't know what version of the mod you have.
the dashboard / GPS has changed 3-4 times in the last 2-4 years and the fix method has changed over the years.
If you can submit the mod, I will tell you the reason faster than listing all the steps

408-SAR and many other trucks were not added to the site.
On sale we have 10 models out of 23

I don't think it's worth any further trouble. I'll just delete it. Bit of a pity, I spent about 16hours on it and thought I had a great truck, but the GPS thing is a game-breaker.
Thanks anyway :)

Fortunately, I still have k200, k108, t908, t609 and superliner :)

Merry Christmas :)

room217au, If you like it, then before you decide to remove it, start with these steps:
remove display.dds
material / ui / dashboard / truck model
remove
material / gps / gps.dds

If that doesn't help:
1)
replace the dashboard material with the default
2)
reposition the flat pattern to match the new texture location

Merry Christmas !

Sigh.
The GPS screen remains black. I appreciate the help, thank you.
I'll keep the truck on my drive in its current state. Too good to delete.
