F1 2014 Modding Questions Thread

[chessmaster02]

Can anyone send me a language_eng file that has been untouched? I forgot to back up mine and I was going to create a mod so that you could choose who you wanted to kick in career mode. To do this I need the language_eng file so once again can anybody send me it or give me a link to find it?

I have a question about the drivers arms animations. I would like to remove the steering animations in cockpitview. Does anybody know how to do that?

 

[chessmaster02]

Under anime I think it is they have the steering wheel animations I believe. If you want to edit something like that I would probably talk to someone who edits camera views or who makes steering wheels. On the subject of steering wheels which file has the steering wheels in it?

Which car would be best to use as base for a Spyker team? (F1 2007)

Red Bull for a replica attempt. That is it.

use steam to verify your game, backup your modded files before doing so

Hi..I am trying to edit my datebase and make some guys a bit better .. I went to ai_driver and raised/lowered some virtual performance and speed-in values but it doesnt seem to change anything at all..? To test it, I reduced everyone except raikkonen (made him like rosberg was originally) but it didnt change anything..what am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to add grip to wet tyres only?

Any help would be brilliant, thanks.

does anyone know of any software that modifies the engine sounds for codemasters racing games?

Hey guys! I am making a fantasy mod but it requires that I change the performance of the backmarkers (caterham/marussia) and I can't seem to do this right. I replaced their .ctf files with the ones of the Red Bull, and for me when I drive it's awesome, but let's say Im driving as Bianchi in that super fast marussia ( with the RB's .ctf files), chilton is still at the back ._. I wonder how to make him faster.

I tried everything I could think would work. I changed the virtual performance in f1teams table in the database from 0.85 to 1 (same as mercedes). I also increased chilton's ai performance to the same as Nico Rosberg but he isn't going any faster xD .. Can somebody help me? That'd be awesome.

Actually I am trying to figure this out since 2012 , I hope i'll be able to find a solution now.

Regards

Make sure you change the file name to database and not schema

I am trying to do some modding myself now and I want to reduce the cars slipstream effect like in the F1 2014 Database mod found on this site. In what file do I have to search to correctly edit this?

Guys, how do you work effectively with the Specocc files?

Guys, how do you work effectively with the Specocc files?

two ways (i usually do) :
1. color the copied layers to the channel <- for logos and main color. you can also play with levels if you know the color of shadows and highlights for each channel.
2. play with levels <- for parts like screws, carbon, camera etc. you should know the color for shadows and highlights.

How would one go about editing the database file (never done any editing on a F1 game before) to make the AI slightly faster or slightly slower on a difficulty setting? Reason I'm asking is because I'm too quick for the second highest difficulty, but too slow for the highest. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am editing the database file and then, of course, it saves as "database.bin" again..still doesnt work. I pretty much have the same issue as Clarity does, so if you could help me too, Id be very grateful.

Does anybody know a good way to make the suits? All that I would like to change is the name, but it seems to be behind some kind of shadowing. Is the shadowing really necessary? And if so, how would I go about in editing the name behind it?
