Thanks for the update!

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

Parsing script BD12ExpressSkins.material

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!
