Modding Questions Thread

[Mr Anthony]

Hey guys,

Just wondered if anyone could tell me the best mods for having a realistic as possible career mode? I would like more realistic AI, realistic physics, realistic times, more realistic damag etc.

Is it also possible to upgrade to 2013 cars/drivers etc?

I'm very new to F1 2012 and don't have any idea which mods are best!

Thanks

I would suggest True to Life Ai 3.0 and V1Tek's 2013 mod. Exactly what I use, and they've improved the racing experience by so much!

Thanks Anthony.

Any recommendations for damage and physics?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated too!

No problem!
Everything is all included in both those mods, both damage and physics. I'm pretty sure even the safety car fix is in there too

Oh brilliant! I'll give those a go then! Thanks for your help.

Now I just have to figure out how to install everything properly!

You're most welcome!

It's really easy, there's another sticky thread here with information, and both the mods come with instructions so you'll be just fine. Just remember to backup the original files you replace!

Just try and reinstall the game through steam.
It should fix your problem.

Thanks Gerard, in the end that is almost what I did. I've save my original files and reinstalled all again. Now currently updating all the modifications I need and everything is working back properly.

Gerard, but the way, were you able to do the Canadian and Quebec helmets you were planning to do the other day? I really look forward to them, especially now that the Canadian GP has been completed, it's make next race in career mode, so a great time to adopt one of these helmets for the upcoming race.

Just a simple question : If i would like to design a carskin or helmet out of a existing DDS file, is there a software for free? Without trails?

GIMP and/or paint.net

Thanks @ maigicaltrevor

@ everyone :

So i'm working with paint.net now. Added some extra sponsors on the Marussia livery.
Saved it all and placed it in the gamefiles.

Now i get a messed up skin, the skin is not in the place it needs to be, but totally shuffled around the car. How do I solve this? Has it to do with the way you save the file from the design software? How do I get it right?

Does someone have the Kobayashi 'Rising Sun' helmet for me pls ? I wanted to download it but ML deleted it due to some idiot --' I have Koba in my Porsche F1 team and would like to have that helmet.

Thx in advance.

Looks like you might have your specocc file set as the main file.

Other than that.....no idea.

 

[Michael Sandee]

Ok then how do I change this ?

I wish it was 2010 again it was so easy to change.........

Thanks bro

Open up the livery main folder for the HRT with Ryders PSSG editor, and have a look at the main DDS folder in there. See if it actually looks like the correct paintwork. I only says this....as the specocc file might not be the issue....just guessing.

 

[Michael Sandee]

Well I figured it out........I have the modified raceload.jpk by Ryder and I still had the gen file in my livery_main folder it conflicts with each other that's why it didn't work.

Please help! In Australia I qualify LAST EVERY TIME! No matter what level or how well I drive or what car I use. I win the next 4 races in a row no problem, just cant get the car to MOVE there.
Is it a fault in the game or what? Really frustrating. Please, any ideas?

 

[pitti59]

Hey,
is there any chance to use mods in the LAN modus?

My brother and I want to play LAN with some mods ( damage model etc.), but it doesn´t works.

Is there something I can change in the database or in an other file to play LAN with mods?
