Hi,

I tried to replace the file carcols.ymt put inside the folder called 'replace' as I do with the other modded files using the following line:

<FileReplacement>replace/carcols.ymt</FileReplacement>

or

<FileReplacements>replace</FileReplacements>

but it doesn't work.

I also tried to specify the game path:

<FileReplacement>
    <GamePath>update:/x64/data/carcols.ymt</GamePath>
    <FilePath>carcols.ymt</FilePath>
</FileReplacement> 

but no luck.

Any ideas to solve this problem?

That looks good to me, path also looks correct. Please attach your log files (ModManager and vfs), perhaps I can see what is wrong.

Ok thanks, in case it may helps you the name of the folder where I have the install.xml is 'file carcols.ymt personalizato', inside it there is a subfolder called 'replace' with carcols.ymt inside.

Chances are the folder name confuses my parser or the game loader. See if renaming it to something simpler helps.

I have changed the subfolder name with a simpler name without spaces but still doesn't work.

I have changed the subfolder name with a simpler name without spaces but still doesn't work. Are you sure the problem is the name of the directory?

No, I am not sure, it just seemed like a possible explanation since the folder name could be parsed as a file name. Can you attach the updated logs?

ModManager.log vfs.log

I justed tested it myself using the snippet you provided above and it worked just fine, my file got replaced. Log looked like this just so you can confirm:

 

2021-04-19 18:20:45 TRACE d:\gtav\vfs\vfs\vfs\packfilehooks.cpp:242: Global full replace: addonDLC:/islandtest/carcols.ymt
2021-04-19 18:20:45 TRACE d:\gtav\vfs\vfs\vfs\packfilehooks.cpp:242: Global full replace: addonDLC:/islandtest/carcols.ymt

 

XML:

<FileReplacement>
    <GamePath>update:/x64/data/carcols.ymt</GamePath>
    <FilePath>carcols.ymt</FilePath>
</FileReplacement>

Thanks for the moment, I will try deleting the folder and providing a new install.xml, if I have more questions I will tell you.
