Thanks for the update!

However there's a problem that prevents the vans from spawning:

This is in latest dev, In 2022.12 you get a "Truckfile not found" error.

Moving BD12ExpressSkins.material from the skins subfolder to the root of the zip resolves the issue.

so zip subfolders are a huge issue with RoR's zip parsers, so having things in them would cause spawning bugs...

i find that kinda strange given my other stuff spawned just fine with subfolders, so i don't know what's with my newer packs and ogrezip.cpp

but if something new to learn comes about it, i'd be willing to learn all about that source code can of worms!

[CuriousMike]

should i put out another update with the fixed zip?

Please do, I'm pretty sure this problem affects all players.

flip889 updated Chevrolet Express + Thomas Minotour with a new update entry:

brooms (zip cleanup)

i left some duplicate files in the skin folders, so the game refused to spawn the vans...

i did some tidying up under the zip, and it should spawn now

if not, or it gives you bugs, let me know!
