Modding Questions Thread

Anyone know how to get a driver to wear a different helmet, as in a player helmet. I know its about editing the PSSG files but the issue is although i change the helmet_d.tga file the driver will still wear his original helmet in the race, cut-scenes etc. Is there anything else i need to change?

Just the livery0_ folder isnt enough also in the characters folder under models and then the hightxt folder of the driver. That folder controls the cutscene helmets

wow changing race suits is hard, i tried moving Kimi to Ferrari and changing his race suit in the hightxt folder, he now wears the right suit but the logos are all in the wrong place , I may just wait for your mod, it looks good

I know that too

I guess this year's CM motto was "we don't make good racing games, we make racing games that are modders nightmare"

Hello,

I've perused the forums and how to's, but still don't have a grasp on the installing and managing of mods. I appreciate the sticky on the topic, but for myself it's a bit brief in explanation.

For starters:

What folder/s-file/s do I need to back up?
Are certain mods easier to install? (ie helmets)
Are mods simple to uninstall? (if not, are there types which are more involved?)

Thanks.

Most mods are just copying and pasting files, the only real variance is the amount of files that need copying. I have a whole backup folder of all the files just in case. On top of that if everything messes up you can use steam to "verify the integrity of game cache", that will replace all the mods with normal files

Did you guys edit more than the hightxt file to get suits to work in cut-scenes. Like i say il change kimi's files so that he has a ferrari suit but the logos will be messed up. Ive swapped the logo and livery files with massa's by the way. Anything else i need to change???

You also did the grey file with the samples of the logos? Cause i think thats the file that puts the logos in the right place

Does someone know the nationality id of denmark?

Edit: not needed anymore

 

[spoi2003]

looking at the database file in f12013 it seems like there is only one nico in the database - the problem is there is two in 2013 season and if i wanted to change the nico to adrian for example it changes nico rosberg and nico hulkenberg to adrian rosberg and adrian hulkenberg - how can this be fixed or is it just a bug...
cheers for any reply

 

[spoi2003]

look in database file in f12013 and in the nationality section is tells you watt denmark is
btw

good day chance = 0 slow driver; 1 = certainly will be first
bad day chance = 0 fastest; 1 = slow
control = 0 slow; 1 = better control, fastest
speed in/out 0 = slower 1 = fastest
virtual perfomance = 0 fake slow qualy, 1 = better qualy (this parameter doesn't have influence on actual race)
wet weather = 0 slow; 1 = fastest

I changed some things as you said but it didn't worked

Cut scenes are still work in progress for my mod, but from what I have seen it isn't working correctly. In my case.
