How do we install mods now???

Not a happy bunny as you have not posted how to do this and I cant use my last beta where I can use mods to race online

Sereously not happy too little info so please post a full way to go from non steam to steam or even non steam with mods or I am stuck using it offline and after paying twice not happy

Edit........... So it seems system reboot and more involved but bikes from beta 19b dont work in 20 as selecting one and thats YOUR GP1000 that worked in b19b dont work now? Sorry but we need solid info not just a bit of it.

As there is no gpbikes folder in the install folder, tracks work but bikes and rider dont. They will show but crash to desktop if used when you go to track???

I always ride with my customers on new years eve and live stream but now I cant so please look into this as I am screwed  right now and you have not said how to and what to do with mods!!!

Just giving info

Let's get into the serene Christmas spirit DD! Let's save some caps and exclamation marks for 2022.

It's only been a couple hours. You know it takes some time until documentation comes out after a new beta release. Also it usually takes a b version for everything to work as normal. ;)

Can't you still run a 19b server online?

The process hasn't changed. You just don't need to use the /gpbikes/ folder anymore

A rule of thumb, Where ever the bike.pkz or track.pkz or tyre.pkz etc file is, a folder can be placed with the same name.

The process doesn't change as far as I know, But the only method I've seen that works is using the GPB directory method, with "Bikes" "Tracks" folders etc.

The /mods folder doesn't seem to work.

Main difference would be the location of the GPB Directory.

Post by: matty0l215 on December 18, 2021, 09:59:18 PM
Bad bike or tyres installed would be my best guess

There is no need for a guide. It's still the same installation process.

Please note that the recommended way to install mods is in "Documents"/PiBoSo/GP Bikes/mods/

Im using the old method in the programe files x86.. mods folder in documents is on my boot drive so i like to keep it clear... same for mxbikes. Works fine so far.

Couldn't the GPBikes-installer be programmed to actually create the "/Mods" folder with all the subfolders that could be needed for Mods together with the option for the "User" to select just where he/she wants that "/Mods" folder to be created on their PC? It's simply information the GPBikes .ini file could use on start-up, isn't it?

Just saying because it would make install so much simpler and less confusing for people, especially those that haven't a clue about their way around a PC...... Just saying.  :)

Best way would be if the installer coulda actually update your game directory.
Replacing only the new files and moving around mod files if the folder structure has been changed.

If using Steam version- in Steam right click GPBike, properties, local files, browse, now you will be in the directory where your common files are such as bike/track/tires etc. If they are zipped unzip to access. Place mods in bike folder but make certain to add any thing the mod came with to it proper directory such as tires, stands, gauges etc or the bikes will not show up in the menu. 100% works!

If you are just adding the bike mod without the tires or gauges etc you are fecked!

If you need further direction DD just give me a shout.

After further testing I have found that some bike mods do not work properly, for instance concerning the MotoGP historical mod the throttle does not work. This is the case with a lot of the mod bikes. Just something to take notice of if anyone cares? Maybe its on my end?     

PS- Thanks PiBoSo for finally getting this on Steam, great job!

I am trying to register my keys wfor steam but wont work always says invalid key!!!

Go here-  https://stats.gp-bikes.com/steam.php

Put in your original key and email and it will generate a new key which you will in turn use at Steam by using Steams "activate product" see? https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2A12-9D79-C3D7-F870

Or if your that pressed for time just buy it at Steam, I'm sure it would help PiBoSo out.

! have done all this and no joy

I am not buying a third time until my keys work!!!!
Title: Re: How do we install mods now???
Post by: WALKEN on December 21, 2021, 04:28:18 PM
Hmmm, just to be redundant. When you enter your product key are you using dashes? for instance,

2h3t4-ggg5t-33333-

cause if you don't it wont work. Just looking for a solution. Or maybe your email you used when you bought your product key is different?

PS- for a guy who builds simulation controller systems not sure how this simple task eludes you? :) lol
Title: Re: How do we install mods now???
Post by: doubledragoncc on December 23, 2021, 12:39:21 PM
To be clear again. I have tried with dashes and without and I have tried the email addresses used to pay with paypal and others. NO joy

The only thing I have not tried is the key in lowercase as it is always shown as uppercase so will try that no.

No I am not dumb but it would of only taken one post form Piboso to make it known EXACTLY how to enter the key to make it simple and not a guessing game

C'mon DD, its all good I'm just having a friendly go.

Lower case does work as that is how I did mine. Just be certain your doing everything perfect to rule out something simple you may be over looking, happen to me just yesterday concerning mods and wheelie help which VSMaster pointed out to me.

Message PiBoSo and have him send you your code if all else fails. Good Luck mate!

When you say you can't get online what exactly do you mean? When I run GPBikes (nonsteam) the server list wont even generate. Is that what is happening to you as well? Or do you see the server list and when you join it crashes you back to desktop?
