So I've been adding more police vehicles in-game, and this worked well until today! I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing the game to crash on loading, apart from the fact that it's definitely in the meta file as I have used one from a back-up and that works fine.

[Note: Have attached .meta file as an XML as I did do a spoiler tag of it's contents earlier, but it didn't display the same way as it did in the file.]

You haven't explained at all what the actual problem is.

Oops, how helpful!

 

The game crashes to desktop when loading.

What the last car you added? the first entry?

Did you check the carvariations too?

The last vehicles I tried to add was CVPI2, Charger3 and Charger4.

The carvariations.meta is attached to this post (as an .xml file as the forum does not support .meta files).

The forum will let you attach vehicles.meta and carvariations.meta.

 

Remove the carvariation lines for CVPI2, Charger3 and Charger4.  Does the game load fine now?  If so, take a working carvariations line, copy and paste it three times.  Now change the name on all three to CVPI2, Charger3 and Charger4.

Nope, still doesn't work when I remove the variation lines for CVPI2, Charger3 & Charger4.

Do you also have the vehicles.meta lines for the cars in the game?

Yes, I do. I have placed a back-up .meta without those lines into the game before, and the game loaded up correctly, even with the lines still present in the carvariations.meta.

Remove the meta lines for the cars, and remove the cars themselves from the vehicles.rpf.

 

Now try loading the game, still crash?

Currently in the process of actually re-installing the vehicle models itself to see how that goes. If that doesn't work, I'll try your suggestion.

Alright, good luck.

Reinstalled the vehicles, including deleting the originally installed vehicles themselves from the .rpf file, didn't work.

Removing the vehicle's meta lines from both vehicles.meta and carvariations, along with the deleted vehicles from then vehicles.rpf did, unsurprisingly.

Is there a limit to the size of the vehicles.meta?

Yes there is.  There's a limit on the vehicles.rpf and carvariations.  First of all, did you add in a new gameconfig that allows for standalone cars?  If not, use the one linked in my signature.

 

Second, the size should only be an issue if you have many, many cars in one DLC.

I’m using the .rpf from mpchristmas2, that only has a few DLC vehicles in there by default.

By default, the mpchristmas2 rpf is just fine.  Go ahead and try the gameconfig.

Sorry for no update for a while, but just used your updated gameconfig file link, and it now loads! Thank you very much!

You're most welcome!

Hmm, I don't know if this is related, but I added a sheriff Charger and FPIU. The FPIU works beautifully and as intended, but with the charger....

I've changed the model too, but get the same result.

And as soon as I post that I manage to fix it, instead of using the more traditional DiffuseTint of "0x00FFFFFF" this one seems to work with "0xAA0A0A0A" instead! How strange!
