If I had to guess why the S550 Mustang mod is marked outdated, it's probably due to the fact that it is using materials.cs instead of main.materials.json. It still works in the latest version of the game, but don't expect any frequent updates to it any time soon.
That doesn't have any bearing on anything. Materials.cs still works fine and I don't expect the devs to ever remove that functionality. New mods are still being made that use materials.cs, because most existing modders are used to it. This is the real reason:
You do have a point, but I've been hearing rumors about the developers phasing out materials.cs one day in the future. According to said rumors, when that happens, only main.materials.json will be supported. That's only speculation though, so take that with a grain of salt. In fact, I did speak to Tsutarja495 one time. He asked if people are still downloading this mod, and sure enough, there are. When I asked why he marked it as outdated, he replied that one reason was the fact it uses materials.cs for materials instead of main.materials.json. Another was the 0.16-era thumbnails. Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to update the Mustang mod. Just saying. I have quoted his response below:
Being a Master Ford fan, this mod is amazing! You did a great job on this one! And the sound, OML it is the best sounding car in the moding, and even the pure game, history.
I see you joined only recently, but replying to a thread that hasn't been active is somewhat of a nono, but I'm sure the author appreciates seeing your post, as most bumps are from 8 year olds wanting to ses a lamborghini.
if the creator is still reading the comments ,i feel like the community would love a Mach 1 configuration. if you are still going to update or bring this mod back to life, please add the Mach 1!
damn that sucks. hopefully someone will take the rights to this mod and revive it with a mach 1 configuration.
I have problems with rtr lights. After changing colors nothing change. --- Post updated --- there is link to video ---->
Idk what to tell you, man. You could try clearing your cache, but I doubt that would be the cause of them not turning on. Most likely, the mod is just outdated.
