heavy haul gearbox(Solved)

[auke1]

hello guys,

i'm trying to make a 2 speed rearaxle/aux box for the westernstar, because i love to do heavy hauk
i want to get a total of 24 gears, but i run into a problem, when i have saved the changed file, the game doesn't reconnize the file and doesn't show it in the workshop, if i place the orriginal file back in it shows the gearbox in the workshop,
is there a limit in the amount of gears there can be, or doing i something else wrong

i set it up like this

i did multiplied al 12 gear by 7.16 and then ad another 12 gears and multiplied those by 3.58, some gears are over lapping, between the 7.16 and 3.58 ratios, is set the diff ratio to 1.0
the highest gearratio is 106.8988, the lowest 3.58

i used galimins drivetrain revision mod as a base for the gearbox file

does someone know how to get it to work

thanks in advance

I made a 24 speed for the Autocar and that shows up in the workshop. So 24 gears is not a limit and also a differential ratio of 1.0 is accepted. Does the game.log give any errors?

I didn't check the log for errors, i could do that when i'm home again, the strange thing is, when in place the original file back in, the game sees the gearbox again

[auke1]

this is what my log says about the transmission

00:00:55.491 : <ERROR> [unit] File '<D:/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/270880/2244117334/daimler_drivetrain_14.zip | >/def/vehicle/truck/westernstar.49x/transmission/dt12ddr.216.sii', line 29:

That indicates that sii file does not have the same amount of opening brackets, {, and closing brackets , }. A text editor like Notepad++ can highlight the matching pairs of opening and closing brackets. That may help in finding out what is missing.

Found the problem, the @include, for the sound.sii, had a space in front, removed the space, and the gearbox shows up in game without errors
