Its missing its body and wheel textures but the flares work, I'll see what I can do
Its likely due to some sort of bug, its textures MIGHT appear but then disappear randomly

here's its minipic png

I did a bit of looking and found the problem. the .truck seems to be trying to locate the files (which are in the folder) but seems to struggle.
I managed to fix the texture issue. Not sure if it will flicker or disappear again, but its honestly better than having darkness.
The textures differ from the minipic:
This says "A Style" while the picture shows 56. Maybe the textures were switched idk

Next Project: Chevy Astro

Seems to be missing wheel textures (no file in folder) and seems to have odd handling (no grip). Shouldn't be too hard but we'll see

Working:
Driving
Textures (Body and interior)
Flares (Back and Front + Signals)
RoRBot

Broken:
Handling (feels like it has no grip)
Wheel Textures (Cannot locate + No file found)
RPM is incredibly low (file error) and moves only 30MPH (astros are able to reach 110MPH)

More progress updates soon. Help is accepted
 
*update: Sorted out the handling and power, now focusing on wheel textures issue
since I cannot locate the original file, just this once I'm going to replace the wheel textures with a new one, which is a common roadblock
 
yeah........I think I need help with this one 😅 could someone take a look at the .material file? I think something went wrong
its trying to load wheel.png (the texture) but seems to cause glitches (above) so any help is useful

Feel free to post a fixed .material, would help lots here. It seems this mod (like many others) relied on the global textures (removed) so its replacing everything with this as it cannot locate wheel global textures

I did check the console:

oddly doesn't show errors but it does show "Chevrolet Astro LT: vehicle uses no GUID, skinning will be impossible.

It's not normal to have a .txt file in a mod, except for informational purposes. Don't you mean the .truck file?

the photo is the .material, the main issue. I only said .txt because its a note-pad format. the .truck is fine (I did some tweaking to fix any speed and grip issues)
