I made sponsors deal a bit longer but didn't want to touch it to much as I don't know how the values work together. This would need a bit more research and work as some sponsor give more upfront and some more per race money. So if you increase deal length a lot, you also change the whole balance made by the devs.

Oh alright I got you. So you got a specific time for the release?

 

[enzoli]

Probably late.

 

[TheCed]

So like 23:00?

[Fraggon]

Were you able to sort out the issue with the mixed up sponsors? It's supposed to be the first three giving you target positions and the last 3 giving you money per race, with the mod verion I tested it was all mixed up and i only got 1 with a target position iirc.

 

[Crozzers]

Once again it is like Christmas eve! and once again I am off out for a meal... but when I return I shall be downloading!

Was going to start as Renault.. but damn that Force india livery is trying to steal me away!

Bingo, I didn't notice this and now looking at the sponsor file I realize better how it works.
I'll work a bit on it before release.

Yes he knows, I mentioned that.

Quick question here as I overhauled the sponsor part.
I didn't play a full season yet. In fact I never went further than a race.
Been to busy modding.

Could you guys tell me if sponsors contracts overlap seasons?
I mean if I sign a sponsor for 15 races at mid-season, does it last till next mid-season?
Or sponsors cancel themselves at the end of each season?
Or it is impossible to sign a 15 races sponsor when there's not 15 races available in the current season?

Really need this info before releasing.

Yes, the sponsor overlap the next season

 

[enzoli]

Excellent.
I've made contracts longer.
What should the minimum and maximum length be?

Also, did any of you experienced "gay" dating and affairs since the removal of most of women in game?
I ask this because there are many traits about dating.
Since I removed 90% of women in game I wonder if this kind of situation happen.
Not that I'm homophobic or anything but if it does then we might have a lot of gay weddings and divorce in racing for the next seasons in MM

 

[John Green]

Yes, the sponsor overlap the next season

Probably late.

Enzoli mate
You're going to make so many people very happy.
But don't feel the pressure.
We'd much rather it was right, so you're happy, than right now.
You've put so many hours/days into this, the least we can do is be patient.
Take the time you need and chill.

 

[Crozzers]

I'd rather it be fully correct and functional than risk a couple bugs later on in my seasons and have to start again!

Take your time dude, even if that means tomorrow or later!

If you need any further info just post here, I'm home for the night and will be around till the early hours.

Looking forward to this, but won't this and other mods be a bit pointless after let's say 20 seasons? Because surely most of the drivers will retire and be replaced by the game's original random drivers that are generated each season or have I got this wrong?
