2016 Mod

[enzoli]

Current version : 1.3.2 (28/02/2017) -- Please read instructions and FAQ below before posting.
Please do not use my work nor upload it somewhere else without my permission.

This mod is composed of a Base and a Layer. You need both in order to have the full mod.

LAYER MOD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (STEAM) - Thanks to @Paxon

Spoiler: Click to view

1. Go to the MM Community Hub in your steam client.

2. Go to the workshop.

3. Search the workshop for "enzoli".

4. Find the "Layer" mod and click it.

5. Click on the subscribe button.

6. Make sure the mod is active in your in-game workshop.

You're done.

You can proceed the same way for my other mods you found on step 4.

BASE MOD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (WINDOWS)

Spoiler: Click to view Install Instructions

1. Download PART1 and PART2 on your computer. Both parts are necessary.
2. Right-click MM 2016 Mod 1.x.x.part1.rar and uncompress it.
3. Part 2 will be uncompressed automatically. You should now have a folder MM_Data with the installer right next to it.

- After I installed the mod, the drivers, teams and staff are fake and all logos are original ones.
You didn't activate the mod "layer" on the Workshop. Please do so as stated above.
- My game crashes during or after launch / I get a black screen then nothing.
Make sure you run the last version of the game on steam.
Go to Steam then right click on Motorsport Manager>Properties>Local Files>Verify integrity of game cache. This will synchronize your game to server version which is always the last version available.
- I don't see the car liveries. Rest is working fine.
Liveries do not work in 2d Mode. Turn on 3d mode.
- How can I change logos/team names/... myself?
Download Unity Assets Bundle Extractor and open resources.assets with it. Extract textures or textassets with the "plugin" button on the left. Modify things and import file back using the same "plugin" button.
Logos are in logos1@1080. Practice and Quali Times are in simulationsettings.

Found the problem with Jack&Jones sponsor crashing.
Will be corrected for 2017 mod.

 

[Hispano85]

With the new update that has come out most things have been modified from the great mod of Enzoli ..... that rages!

Enzoli you will be able to solve it so that we can continue enjoying thanks to you with the mod of 2016 until you take the mod of 2017 ???

Thank you for your efforts and apologies for the inconvenience.

 

[enzoli]

Cool thing is that workshop will allow 3d work on liveries and hq. Wasn't expecting that.
Cool stuff.
Now with this workshop I think anyone can make a 2017 mod so I don't think I will work on one. Somebody will probably come up with something better and faster.
Might try my luck at the livery competition

 

[Hispano85]

Enzoli I am so happy with your mods, that I prefer to play one of yours ...... if you change your mind and do it we would be delighted.
Again thank you and thank you for your incredible effort and dedication so that all of us can enjoy your incredible mod.

 

[TheJamesG]

Amazing mod! just upset that the update broke it! Will there be an update for it?

Thanks

 

[Jerr]

@enzoli "Not only that, we will award the winner a cash prize of £1,000. We're looking for imagination and inventiveness so be as creative as you can and upload your work to Steam Workshop."

I am sure that your mod will receive a ton of downloads .... go get that 1000 bucks!

 

[saxoross]

I would like to carry on using the 2016 Mod with the latest update. Does anyone know how?

Also is there a way I can fix the Jack&Jones crash myself for the 2016 mod?

Well, you could manually take an old version of his mod, extract all the relevant files and import them into the new assets? I don't know if he made a list of everything though, and I do t think he released the sponsor fix.

The Workshop uses the original assets (which we're replacing) as a base, so if Enzoli released this mod as it is, (as all the work other then reimporting most files is done), you can use the mod as normal. Other workshop mods could easily then be installed on top of it.

Although it could be easy for Enzoli to make a steam workshop version of the mod. He might be able to use the unity tool on his old - working asset file and export all the drivers, teams, models and textures. And release them as workshop mods.

Which is both great and worrying... as anyone could do that without giving him credit. If he's against this, I suggest he actually removes the downloads now.

PREVIEWS

MANY THANKS
to bwoah for his constant advises and help on finding drivers and staffs. You rock!
to BenRHJ and Mojojo999 for their hard job on drivers abilities. Fantastic work!
to all of you for your patience, feedbacks and suggestions

hi, could u link me the modding extractor because i'm unsure of what downloads are real and what ones aren't. (never modded anything before if you have any tips let me know)

I'm trying to figure out how the workshop works. Doesn't make any sens to me right now. Feel like a noob though I'm usually good a those things.

I don't mind people using my stuff. I have the feeling the devs now what we're doing here and saw our work a long time ago. Anyone stealing stuff like the guys on that german forum would be quickly found I believe. And if not, well... too bad.
Again all this stuff here has always been free and will remain like this.
On the other hand, I will try my luck at this livery competition. U never know.

 

[dimagico]

i really do hope for your complete 2017 mod!

Not sure in what sense you mean? The different tool to create a mod or other things? It looks like you're literally uploading txt files for the database changes, and you've already got those. These text files are injected into the game instead of the text assets being read,,, I assume the same is true of all the graphics too. However, I've noticed that your supplier changes probably aren't workshop compatible currently, I assume that's a future feature.

So there's a good chance you don't have to do much at all to make the, compatible.

Good news for all the people who want to combine our mods, is that if they install my mod as a base (old fashioned copy and paste overtake MM folders), you can add workshop files right on top of it, and they'll work seemlessly.

 

[dimagico]

btw... this latest update screwed my game. ...i don´t have (mod) sponsors anymore, just the original ones. Not sure about the rest yet.... - yeah, everything gone, just names are correct in saved game. Will another install of 2016 mod solve the damn thing... or....we need to wait?

Here is the base for modding now with workshop.

I have no idea how to build a mod for the workshop. I mean I've been reading their website but can't get it to work. Even things not using unity like videos. When I go to the game to create my mod, it finds 0 files to add... Tbh I never used workshop before.

I don't get why you say no supplier?

 

[Jason Tebb]

hey

The latest update from steam overwrites the mods. When I re add the mods, the game still fails to load.

I am hoping there will be a fix for this soon..

Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Modding\Databases

If you put the drivers.txt in there as well as all the other (recognised) ones the game will recognise them and you can install them when starting a new game (at the very top Test Your Mod) or Publish them

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Modding

has ;logos, images, movies and videos to... so I assume you just put the files in the right format there and Boom, done... no need to mess around with unity.



The list of .txt assets doesn't include supplies, so I assume that portion of the mod is non transferable yet.

• Assistants.txt
  • Team assistants.
• Chairman.txt
  • Team chairmen.
• Championship.txt
  • This is where you can edit the races, teams, prize money, and rules which appear within in a particular championship.
  • Team numbers refer to the row number of the team in the Teams.txt database. You can see the numbers here.
  • Locations refer to tracks. The track IDs are detailed here.
  • Rules are detailed here.
• Climate.txt
  • The temperatures and rainfall chances of the different weather types.
• Drivers.txt
  • Everything to do with drivers can be edited here.
  • The teams a driver can join are detailed here.
• Engineers.txt
  • This allows you to edit the Lead Designers.
  • Designers’ Components are detailed here.
• Journalists.txt
  • The journalists who ask you various questions and publish media reports.
• Mechanics.txt
  • The race mechanics’ names and stats.
  • Mechanic bonuses are detailed here.
• Media Outlets.txt
  • The outlets which the journalists write for.
• Politicians.txt
  • Here you can edit Ernie Hecklerock himself!
• Scouts.txt
  • The chief scouts, who find you new drivers.
• Sponsors.txt
  • The principal moneygivers of the game. Sponsors can be attached to multiple teams at any one time, as seen in the Team Sponsoring column.
  • Prestige is the sponsor’s star rating.
  • Upfront Value, HomeBonus Value, Bonus Amount, Per Race Payment are all multiplied by one million when imported into the game (ie. ‘0.2’ is £200,000).
  • Bonuses are optional.
• Team Principals.txt
  • The managers of the AI teams.
• Teams.txt
  • Change the names and locations of the teams. Information about
  • Color refers to a colour set. If you want to swap certain certain team colours around, this is the place to do it (eg. swapping Steinmann Motorsport to Color 4 will give them a red car and red UI elements).
  • Political Attributes define how teams will vote in certain GMA rules.
  • Budget is the team’s starting cash.
  • Race Payment offset is a bit of ‘bonus’ money which is added to the Chairman Payment. This is intended to replicate some teams having a bigger warchest.
  • Aggression defines how risky a team will be in regard to various AI decisions (parts being built, race orders, etc). 0 is less aggressive, 1 is more aggressive.
• … more database types will follow in updates.

 

[TheJamesG]

After having a little play, I believe what you may be missing is where you are putting each separate file into the
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Modding\" Path. Each different file needs to go into the correct path such as:

Drivers.txt into the "Database" path and other files into the correct path.

Once that has been done you then you need to go into Motorsport manager game then onto workshop tab then publishing the files into a workshop file (this will be private until you make it public) then you need to create a new career for these to work.

If you want me to help you with the workshop side I am more than happy, just message me.

 

[enzoli]

I figured out the directories. Still all gfx must be wrapped in assetsbundle. Which is a pain in the a**.
More than this. It seems they reshuffled the gfx atlases so I'll have to rebuild them. That's a lot of work.

 

[Jason Tebb]

hi enzoli thanks for checking the issue. Should I wait for you to fix or uninstall and start again until there is a new patch which works with the latest update. I have a mac version by the way,
