Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Finished]

[NormanVauxhall]

Total cost of the car.

[mer_at]

Did try to make 3 cars twice.
The first time i had to chose a different model, while i already had 2 Trims -> everything fucked up.

Then i deleted everything (even all other models), and started a new and clean car.
Made 3 Trims with 3 different Engine trims. Saved everything.
Now they wont load anymore, some fancy lua error.

Did i say that i hate that stupid saving system?

[Sayonara]

Just mash the save button on every change.

No, it saves fine. It just saves the wrong ****ing thing, so when I go to load the car again I get a ton of LUA errors.

mer_at's apparently going through the same thing I did, but I can't file a bug report because I have no idea how to reproduce it other than "try to make a car for the Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday competition".

There's something funny happening with the multiple fixture tabs - if I change something on the model family and skip to the Trim tab without going through all the Model tabs first, I get different numbers. I don't know if that has something to do with it.

If you've changed fixtures (wings, vents etc.) or morph in the trim tab of the model section, then you will have to select that tab before moving onto the other sections, otherwise the game won't load your new fixtures. I've tripped myself up multiple times forgetting to do that because the game didn't load my extra wings or hood scoop and threw the calculations off, or the arches didn't flare and the game couldn't compute the wheel size.

I sincerely don't understand how those errors happen. I've had a ton of entries with bugs, missing files, or not compatible files, yet I never got those errors myself, unless I did something completely out of the normal game routine. Which, by the way, would be: choose a body, choose the chassis materials and suspensions, design the main car, make a trim, copy it, make the changes necessary for the second trim, copy that one, and then change things for the third trim. If I click the first tab, without changing the others, or change the suspension type half the way through, yes, I get a bug, but otherwise the game should work well enough.

I did run into some saving issues after importing another car from another player. Once I deleted the offending files and built the car from scratch (also aided by a clean install), things ironed out pretty alright.

@Leonardo9613: The problem is, going back to the Model tab to change the body panel quality (for example) is a part of normal play. It shouldn't crash out the game, but [edit: given the way it causes strangenesses in the Trim tabs, I'm betting] it does.

Actually, another problem I noticed working on this build: the tyre width/offset was incredibly and bewilderingly flaky. I don't know what changed.

That is what I meant, several imported cars have had bugs, yet I haven't had the issues with cars I made myself. This is what I'm doing with the entries that have issues, I ask the person to save and export again and I delete all the files manually on the Mygames/automation folder, because the game doesn't delete them.

Could be, it isn't a part of my normal car building procedures, so that might be a reason why it doesn't affect me. And it is something that, for the time being, should be avoided. Anyway, if the intended flow is followed, I can't see how the errors could happen, that's what I'm trying to say.

[Packbat]

I'm guessing the thing to do is, when changing anything in the Model section, go to the trim-fixture tab in that section before going to any other section.

Did mine have an issue?

[Leonardo9613]

No, it did not. It was alright. If it had an error, I would have PM'd you back.

[DoctorNarfy]

Ignore my stupidity.

That might help XD

I didn't realize it was that simple, thanks. :3
