Stock Car Brazil 1999 - Nascar Liveries 3.0

Did a test and found out you can have custom helmets and outfits even for cars that do not have it specifically written in the _dist.xml file ! Guess i can now start making these for my livery packs that do not have them yet, starting with the 1999 Stock Cars.
EDIT: So far 8 out of 40 are done.

Would there be any interest in a CoT pack based on the 2009 Nascar season ? I am aware the CoT was a very controversial generation in Nascar, hell many say it is the ugliest Stock Car to ever race in the series.

I have actually not watched NR during the Gen 5 era and i actually like the design of it. And if you squint, the "Chevrolet Omega 1999" very closely resembles the CoT.

The two available livery packs also already include two paintschemes that were from the CoT era.

Finally after a month of work, it is done. I present you the new and updated Stock Car Brazil 1999, version 3.0 !

Earnhardt pack - contains the liveries of Earnhardt, Mark Martin, Richard Petty, etc.
Labonte pack - new liveries of Labonte, Irvan, Gant, etc.
Extra Cars - Ned Jarrett 1965 Richmond Ford
- UNION 76 (fantasy car)

- Both Earnhardt and Labonte packs are interchangeable simply by extracting one or the other in the same way as you would regularly install a livery pack.

- What does this livery pack contain: YOU GET LIVERIES AND THE AI FILE ONLY, EVERYTHING ELSE IS UP TO YOU !
- It is against the rules of RD to upload the car finished and working out of the box because i do not have a scrach made model. If i can ask someone to help me create the Stock Car 99 from strach, please DM me and we can agree on the money for the work.

All 40 (+ 2 extra) liveries have been finished.

Currently i am going through the process of making sure that with a duplicate car, the new 20 liveries are working when mixed in with the original 20, thus allowing all 40 to be used together.

At the same time for people who have no interest in mods i made the liveries into two packs:
"Earnhardt pack" which contains all the original ones, and a "Labonte pack" which has the new 20. Both of them have their proper AI file included too !

The unfortunate part is that we are NOT allowed to upload the full car with the liveries included, which would make it just a simple one file copy into the Content Manager and be done with it.

Instead until i make a complete scratch made Omega 1999 car, people will have to go through the process themselves and watch a video on YouTube in order to achieve the same result.

User Scar666 is a BIG help when it comes to easing the process so a BIG thanks to him for helping with getting the 40 livery car to work. At the same time none of this hassle would have happened if the original car just had a God dang higher livery limit than a miserable 20 ...

For now this is the best solution there is. Once i will make 100% sure the new liveries and AI are working properly when mixed together, it will be a new and big 3.0 update. I just have to figure out the final problems of the modding process.

New 20 drivers who will be included in the Labonte pack:
- Ernie Irvan 1991 Kodak
- Kyle Busch 2005 Kellogg's
- Clint Bowyer 2007 Jack Daniels
- Ryan Newman 2003 ALLTEL
- Matt Kenseth 1999 DeWALT
- Bobby Labonte 1996 Interstate Batteries
- Jimmy Spencer 1999 Winston NO BULL
- Brett Bodine 1992 Quaker State
- Robby Gordon 2002 Cingular Wireless
- Harry Gant 1981 SKOAL Bandit
- Ricky Craven 1996 KODIAK
- Neil Bonnett 1994 Country Time
- Dick Trickle 1990 Phillips 66
- J.D. McDuffie 1991 L.C. Whitford Co.
- Dave Marcis 1999 REALTREE
- Brian Vickers 2010 Red Bull
- Joe Nemechek 1996 BURGER KING
- Dale Jarett 2001 UPS
- Ken Schrader 1986 RED BARON
- Carl Edwards 2005 Scotts.com

2 extras:
- Ned Jarrett 1965 Richmond Ford
- UNION 76 (fantasy car requested by Redvaliant)

EDIT: Screenshot showing 32 cars on track all with a unique livery:

EDIT2: Finalizing the new AI file of 40 drivers. Randomly only 31+the player can make the field seeing as that is the maximum allowed in the game by default, which of course can still be increased with CheatEngine to achieve the full 40 driver grid.

The 4 new cars are:
- Dick Trickle 1990 Phillips 66
- Dave Marcis 1999 REALTREE
- Clint Bowyer 2007 Jack Daniels
- Brian Vickers 2010 Red Bull

Just 4 cars left to do and then it will be the big update !

Included will also be at least two extra liveries, one being the UNION 76 car requested by "Redvaliant", and also an updated 1965 Richmond FORD of Ned Jarrett.

The experiments with the 76 car look like this:

- Ernie Irvan 1991 Kodak
- Ryan Newman 2003 ALLTEL
- Matt Kenseth 1999 DeWALT
- Bobby Labonte 1996 Interstate Batteries
- Jimmy Spencer 1999 Winston NO BULL
- Brett Bodine 1992 Quaker State
- Neil Bonnett 1993 GW Mom'N'Pops
- Harry Gant 1981 SKOAL Bandit
- Ricky Craven 1996 KODIAK
- J.D. McDuffie 1991 McDuffie Racing
- Dale Jarett 2001 UPS
- Carl Edwards 2005 Scotts

Once finished, the extra 20 liveries will be part of the same downloadable pack and will be useable with modding the game, but you will also be able to use and mix them together with the original 20.

- Ernie Irvan 1991 Kodak
- Matt Kenseth 1999 DeWALT
- Bobby Labonte - Interstate Batteries
- Jimmy Spencer 1999 Winston NO BULL
- J.D. McDuffie 1991 McDuffie Racing
- Dale Jarett 2001 UPS

Reminder: The 2.nd pack will be used for the extra 20 liveries which will be enabled through mods. I am also making sure that these liveries will all have a unique number, so that all 40 cars will be their own driver - no duplicates!

Since mod support is already making it possible to expand the livery limit, i started working on 20 more liveries so it would be possible to have a full pack of 40 unique cars.

Here is a work-in-progress of the first driver - Bobby Labonte in the 1996 Interstate Batteries Chevrolet.

Below is a picture mashup of all 20 that were done so far, plus 10 that i have already selected to be added as the 20 extra liveries.

I still need to find 10 more, and all have to be a unique car number. I am opened to any suggestions.

Some people told me they are not interested in a livery pack that has duplicate numbers. And as there were only 2 cars out of 20 that had the same number i decided to improve the pack.

- Jimmie Johnson 2006 Lowe's has been added, replacing Bobby Allison who had the number 22 just as Ward Burton. Now all liveries have a unique number.

I present you the new and updated Nascar liveries for the Brazil Stock Cars 1999 !

With many months of experience making new liveries, i looked back at my earlier projects and was no longer happy with some of the obvious lack of detail in certain aspects (those damn door handles), or how the contingency sponsors were way too small compared to the real cars - all that has now been fixed, while also making low-resolution areas much sharper.

Long before this update i started gathering votes for which cars were the least favorite of the pack, and based on that made new liveries of more popular drivers, and also changed the Richard Petty STP from his previous 1973 car, to the 1982.

- Tony Stewart 2002 Home Depot (in place for Ned Jarrett)
- Kyle Petty 1998 Hot Wheels (in place for Cole Trickle)
- Sterling Marlin 2001 Coors Light (in place for J.D. McDuffy)
- Richard Petty 1982 STP (in place for his 1973 livery)

AI has also been updated and tweaked to better reflect the average start and finishing positions of each driver to the year the raced in, with the added average of their overal race results.

With all that done, i now give you the new Stock Car Brasil 1999 Nascar Liveries version 2.0.
Gentlemen, start your engines !

Hello everyone.
As i mentioned a few days ago that once i finish the "Copa Uno - Nascar liveries pack" (ver. 1.0 is out as of now) i will start working fixing and improving the 1999 Stock Car pack.

New liveries will include:
- Sterling Marlin 2001 Coors Light (in place for J.D. McDuffy)
- Kyle Petty 1999 Hot Wheels (in place for Cole Trickle)
- Tony Stewart 2002 Home Depot (in place for Ned Jarrett)

On the attached image you can see how the new liveries will look, and also how i am improving the old liveries. Most changes are not visible unless you have a side-by-side comparison, but i am certain all these tweaks will be appreciated once you see the cars on the race track.

Hello everyone. As i improved in making liveries, I plan to re-visit and improve the Stock Car Brazil 1999 Nascar liveries and with that will add Sterling Marlin 2001 Coors Light and Tony Stewart 2002 HOME DEPOT liveries.

But for that i have to remove two cars / make them an optional install. Which two liveries do you think i should remove / make optional ?

The process of improving this livery pack will start once i finish the "Copa Uno - Nascar Liveries" pack. Until then i will be gathering votes.

1979 Daytona 500, pack for the Opala Stock Cars ?
1970's for the Copa Classic B ?

Or what about F1-Classic Gen 4 Nascar Liveries ?

Starting a new livery for the 86 Stock Cars:

Playing around with various ideas, whether to make the next Nascar livery pack for the M1 Pro Car, or the Opala Stock Cars 1986

First of all a HUGE Thank You to the racedepartment member chrisi2174 for fixing the "Preview" files for me in his spare time and just sending them finished to me. He did all of it without even being asked, what a legend !

Second minor thing - I also fixed the name problems that were with the Earnhardts and with Kenny Irwin, all three AI driver names will now appear properly in the leaderboard / relative.

Until a patch will fix it, i temporarely removed the banners on the windshields from inside the car. It was causing the text to appear on the side rear window of every car.

Please download and overwrite the files, like how you would install the liveries normally.

There was a new update released today and it introduced a bug with the Stock Car liveries on the rear windows. It seems to be a GAME bug, not a livery one. I will post an update if i figure out what is causing it.

All 20 livery slots are now finished. Custom AI drivers are done too ! What's next you ask ? In regards to this pack, probably just tweaking AI parameters I am opened to feedback if current settings are working well.

And then also fix the preview images, as they have graphical errors with white colors, sorry about that, only too late i realized the mistake i was doing.

But the main thing, the pack itself, it's finally done ! Gentleman, start your engines !

Livery finished. Now i have to finish one more, then they will both be part of the 1.0 update.
