Hello, I'm trying to create an LML install for a part of a file posted on the workshop just to try it out and make it easier on my own mod management. Root folder has two directories and two files. It crashes to desktop almost immediately upon beginning the loading process inside of GTA. I've attempted to follow the documentation and can't seem to figure out where I'm going wrong. This is a replacement install, not addon, replacing police.

ELS (Contains ELS File)

Vehicle (Contains yft and ytd files)

install.xml

vehicles.meta

VCS.log doesn't seem to show anything relevant but the first few lines of the mod manager log do. install.xml is attached. I've abridged the modmanager log to exclude data that doesn't appear to pertain to this particular mod in order to save some space here.

Spoiler

install.xml

Your log does not seem to match up with your install.xml content. If you download the mod you linked, all you really have to do is something like this:

 

<Replacements>
  <Replacement name="Cityscape Taurus">
    <FileReplacements>Taurus</FileReplacements>
    <FileEntryReplacement type="VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE">vehicles.meta</FileEntryReplacement>
  </Replacement>
</Replacements>

 

No need for the multiple tags you are using. This works for me.

@LMS

So, I promise I originally had it SIMILAR to that. I just forgot to remove the duplicate tags because I tested directly writing each file in there etc Vehicle/police.ytd for each one, and I used the example LML file as a template. I must have forgotten to remove the duplicates. Oops. Problem is still crashing though. Attaching full RPH, VFS and Modmanager logs, plus updated install.XML. Also, I'm trying to separate the linked mod into a few separate ones with LML so I can mix and match other cars. If I can get this working with LML, it is SO much easier than dealing with the model and texture files, plus any meta files separately if I may switch them out.

Add additional info regarding mod and files

I would assume your vehicles.meta file is bad since that is the only thing that could really crash your loading process.

Attaching vehicles.meta

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Will test tomorrow.

Fixing up the XML did it, thank you for your help!
