Helmets Career Helmets Pack 1.1

[Colin O Callaghan]

Same issue with 2.0 cannot import, it lets me import when I do not do the hex edit on the dds file but then replaces the mipmap file in unbranded 22 folder which i can open but looks all weird.

When I do the Hex edit on the DDS I cannot import to the erp as it says file type not supported so what i do is rename the .dds to .mipmaps but can never reopen it and never put in th .erp but it shows automatically there anyway??

I'm confused

You don't need to edit the hex of the dds file for the incardriver.erp, that's why you're getting errors. I'm not sure why it replaces the mipmap files though, never had this issue.

Edited hex goes to> .mipmaps files
DDS files go to > incardriver.erp

I know it's complicated, but these are needed to mod helmets in this game.

Let me try

 

[Colin O Callaghan]

I tried new,
all original files, opened incardriver.erp with erp archiver.
searched for my unbranded_gen22.tga i wanted to replace and clicked import
I selected my modded helmet dds
it then asked me to select the gen22.mipmaps file and i did that, then it tells me to save
it says one already exists and I need to overwrite so i do
it creates the new .mipmaps file but when i open colour looks all crappy and like 256 colour pic
I go to the dds modded helmet again and open with Hex, delete up to and including row 70 as demonstrated in guide
and save as name of gen_22_helmet_d.tga.mipmaps having to replace whats there.
close up works in game but far away not, and even if now i try to import the dds again into the incardriver.erp it will do the above and overwrite my mimaps file in the unbranded_gen22 textures folder and replaces which i dont want, whats going wrong.

Below is my Helmet,

Can you please have a look, its an untouched un-hexed DDS because i am going mad and have been 6 hours at this mate

Does the DDS for the incardriver.erp need to be DTX5? or is the same DTX1 no alpha?

 

[Colin O Callaghan]

Got it mate, issue is with as you said erp archiver 3, use 2 finally after hours and hours, thanks dude.

 

[fluffydave]

Very good, glad you've resolved the problem after hours of frustration, happy modding!

OK, is it possible to change the helmet in between seasons? cause it would be stupid to go to Red Bull or Ferrari next season and wear a Renault helmet on my head

 

[fluffydave]

You can change helmet anytime you please, replace the files with other helmet. All helmets replace gen01 (first helmet), this way, team change wouldn't be an issue. I also do this because the game doesn't allow helmet change once you start a career.

That's a bit stupid move by Codemasters. I know you can't change the helmet during the season cause of the rules, but you can in between seasons. They could've done that. I haven't chosen gen 1, mine is the one with the circles on the side, don't even now which gen it is

 

[vladimirjeger]

By counting helmets on the career driver creation video, it's 22nd helmet so I guess it's gen_22

 

[fluffydave]

That's the other thing with the limitations we have in this game, I figure the easiest way to do helmet mods is by picking the first helmet (top left) so it can be replaced by multiple helmets. It's impossible to do one mod for everyone since each picked their helmet already (not to mention the color settings won't match the mod). You have to restart career to change helmet btw

Never mind...I'll finish my first career with this helmet, and on the second go will choose gen 1 helmet with your RGB settings so I can use your helmets. Cheers bro

 

[Giovaneveterano]

So, can we change helmet between season in game?

Gen 22 same as me

I think there's a bot downloading this pack, 1 download every 1 sec is not normal while pack 2 doesn't get something like this.

Nope...Looks like we can't...Real shame
