OvGME is a game mod manager (and more) based on the idea and concept of JSGME, inheriting the GME acronym from JSGME, which stands for Generic Mod Enabler.
The main goal of OvGME is to provide an easy way to import, install, remove, and create mods with an automatic backup system that restores original files when mods are removed. OvGME also offers a network repository mechanism, allowing users to use web repositories to obtain, update, or synchronize mods online.
OvGME’s operation principle is based on comparing the file tree (structure) of target folders with the mod’s file tree.
Based on the comparison results, the program determines which files need to be replaced, created, and saved as backups.
A Russian guide and installation are included inside the archive.
One manager for almost all games.
Open source, available for download on the official website.

A new batch of rumors:
Checkpoints (control posts) will be added to the maps. There is no information on how they will work. It is still unknown whether they will be simply impassable objects on the map or if they can be opened (obtain a pass).
Tracks will now be left by mud on the ground (possibly on asphalt and other surfaces as well) (2nd and 3rd pictures).
All these changes are promised to delight us in the upcoming update.

P.S.: Meanwhile, the game on Steam has rolled back to version 17.11.15. The developer does not know the reason. Oovee has not responded yet. Maybe they are already trying to roll out the update, but something went wrong?

UPDATE 24.02.16: The game has updated again to 25.12.15c. Waiting for official statements..

A fresh batch of screenshots from the developers.

Yes, despite the game crashing issues and the unclear situation with user maps, the developers are pretending everything is fine and are working on improving the game.

In the upcoming update, we can expect a new Ural-375 (screenshots 1-3), checkpoints (blockposts), which we have already written about and will actually be openable (screenshot 4). The screenshot shows that you will only be able to pass through this checkpoint with an empty vehicle (no cargo).
Additionally, judging by the last (5th) screenshot, there will be support for the Steam Controller (according to other sources, the Xbox controller).

Well, we wait... We wait almost as much as for the crash fixes!

P.S.: As always, not a word about the update release date.

The administration of STMods.ru has prepared a small surprise for you.
We are tired of seeing questions like "how to configure SpinTires Plus?". Even when we posted a translated instruction on configuring SpinTires Plus, there were comments like "still nothing is clear!".

We worked a bit for you! Meet the SpinTires Plus Configurator

Configure SpinTires Plus simply by checking/unchecking boxes (or entering values) next to the necessary items. As a result, the configurator outputs the SpintiresPlus_config.xml file with all the settings. Don’t forget to copy the resulting file into the game folder :)

At the moment, not all options are implemented, only the most necessary ones. We would be glad to hear your feedback and suggestions about this service.

As far as we know, this is the only service in the Russian internet segment, and possibly on the entire internet. If we are mistaken – please correct us.

Installation:
1. Install anywhere like any program – run it.
2. Click Settings, first field SpinTires Directory – click Install and specify the game folder. It should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Spintires\
3. Click Ok, the program will show a Launch Spintires button – launch the game through it!

How to add a mod (vehicles, maps, etc.):
1. A mod can be a folder or a ZIP archive.
2. Check the correct mod structure – the mod folder/archive should contain game folders like classes, levels, etc. The Media folder is not needed!
3. All mods can be placed in the program folder "Data\Spintires\Mods"
4. You can also add your own mod folder – in the mod manager on the "Mod Folders" page.
5. If everything is correct – the game should detect the mod.
6. In the mod manager you can manage mods – enable/disable, set priority, specify additional mod tags.

Workshop mod localization. See the example in the screenshots.

Tag String:
- Attribute "Type": can be "assets", "game", "help", "ui"
- Attribute "Replace": if "True" – replaces the previous value. Use carefully, it can overwrite values from any mod!

Tag Language:
- Attribute "Id": two-letter language code, e.g. "ru" or "en"
- Tag value: the text itself
- Attribute "Value": the text itself (better to use the tag value), if the tag value is not empty, the attribute is ignored

Additional localization for any mods.

See example in folder Data\Spintires\ModsExample\ExtraStrings.
"_append_levels_game.txt", "_prepend_std_game.txt" – what it means:
- prefix "_append_", "_prepend_" – defines how the word will be added. "_append_" – if already present, it will not be added. "_prepend_" – if already present, it will be replaced.
- postfix "_game" – word group, can be "assets", "game", "help", "ui".
- in the middle "levels", "std" (between prefix and postfix) can be anything – essentially a unique identifier.

For more details see Readme.ru.txt in the Help folder.
