Load order updated for ATS v1.42.

Basically just remove all ProMods related files (7), and adjust the manifest file of MUO_Reforma Compatibility Patch 141.scs, PMA-C2C_0.2.2.scs, project_better_arizona.scs.

I haven't test it thorougly. The map loads and I drove a little bit in Arizona. For obvious reasons there are some broken roads between Washington and CanaDream, so for now avoid that area.

Please let me know if you find some errors or if you have a crash.

Thanks!
Seems to work fine, got no crashes or broken roads yet

Just to let you know, Canadream 2.42 is now available too: viewtopic.php?p=1466934#p1466934

Obviously this requires manual editing, but you can edit the manifest files of ProMods and they all load fine in 1.42.

@LATrucker you're welcome! Btw, Canadream is already in the load order...

I have tried doing this, by changing files to zip by renaming, but promods assets and models cannot be opened this way, any tips or tricks?

I've tried several methods to unlock the ProMods assets and models files, but unfortunately no luck...

<edit> maybe it's possible with DART 2.0... I've been able to extract the files, although I got a error message that one file could not be extracted. So that still could lead to a crash. Anyway, I can edit the manifest files of both the assets and models files. I also can load all four ProMods v1.0.2 files in ATS v1.42. I will test further tomorrow.

awesome, thanks Vinnie, Glad I found this thread you started, and will look forward to contributing however I can.

Unfortunately so far no luck with extracting the two ProMods files without warnings. This means that the models file has one file that can not be extracted, and the assets file has 140(!) files that can not be extracted. Which indeed lead to a CTD.
