Aaaaargh, what a pity: S, thank you very much for answering

that's because the Mercedes chassis will only work with the Mercedes and McLaren teams, not Renault or others, this also goes the other way that for Mercedes and McLaren teams only those chassis will work and others have the same problem there. There is no fix as far as I'm aware (well you can swap the mat binding line in the carmodel file and trick around so you get the livery but numbers don't work if done like that

Is there a way in the .erp files of the tracks or in ANY other file to edit fhe freaking possibility of rain? I just hate it. Every second race is a rain race. Disgusting.

Mclaren's overall orange parts aren't that orange. In the dds file it looks more orange than in game. is it because of games light or did i do something wrong?

srgb format?

 

[Laksu]

srgb format?

What srgb? I don't even have that option

intel plugin has the srgb versions of the dds files, so like color BC3 srgb 8bpp or something like that. You need those formats

Okay, I have used that nvidia plugin, Does it matter what bc it is?

BC is the same as DXT, the numbers are a bit different. EEA lists both BC and DXT names for the types, just read off of that

I tried for my Toro Rosso skin, didn't change anything:/

Anyone know what variable changes at what wear% the gearbox starts to have issues? I feel like they made the gearbox a bit too good after the patch. I'm at 76% now and i havent had any issues yet,

How does one go about getting a colored visor on a helmet tga/dds? I've made helmets in Photoshop before but have never figured out how to properly get a colored visor.

When you open some erp in ERP archiver, some textures have multiple "sub-textures" and you can switch between them with the little arrows at the bottom. Is there some way to import/change the whole texture with all the "sub-textures" at once and not one by one?
(i have made the mistake, that i have heavily modded my game and only after that i realised i forgot to install the "no nationality flags" mod. Reimporting it manually one flag after another in so many files would take weeks. Reinstalling everything also. So i am looking for some way to do it better and quicker. THanks for suggestions.

Hidden **** is hidden. CM moved the tod settings file into the shadows of the outer rim. With a huge amount of work you could edit all the effects files but my guess would be, the physics on the tracks would still be applied.
Short answer: For now, no chance.

Does anyone know where to download the Renault Sport font (rslife)? I want the letters VSA for my name abbreviation. Google couldn't help me.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

EDIT: Found it.

Hey all! I'm currently trying to modify the classic car helmets so I can have a helmet other than the usual Arai helmet. However, I've tried to modify the XML file in the 1980's ERP file, and this happens instead:

Any ideas on what this is caused by?

That happens when you export using the wrong dds settings. Make sure you get DXT1 for helmets!
