Take a look at the link, there are tons of comparison screenshots there.

 

[Ross Balfour]

Yeah I saw that but none for GTR EVO. Does it just improve the picture quality of the game?

Scroll down to find the Evo ones.

 

[Ross Balfour]

Cheers!

That looks cool. The hard part is getting the right file. The readme is very confusing


Can anyone help me with the GTR EVO one

Sorry for my n00bness

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

It's more simple if someone do an archive that you directly extract into the game folder in order to install the news cubemaps for all cars!

Wow they look very cool. Downloading now

EDIT: Where do you put the files? And what files do you put where? :S

nobody knows

hey I see your 14, me too

 

[Jamie R]

Hehe woo.

Well anyone that is in the know, please let us know

 

[Alberto Marzi]

It's necessary that you make a folder Teams (if you don't have) in this path \Steam\steamapps\<Your User>\race 07\Gamedata\Teams

and put in this folder one of the 3 files (what you want)and rename it in EMAP.dds .

If you want "more effect" , you can put club maps files and rename it in this way :

EMAP.dds
EMAP_ALUMINIUM.dds
EMAP_CARBON.dds
EMAP_CHROME.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_ALUMINIUM.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_CARBONE.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_CHROME.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_GLASS.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_INT_GLASS.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_PAINT.dds
EMAP_COCKPIT_PLASTIC.dds
EMAP_GLASS.dds
EMAP_PAINT.dds
EMAP_PLASTIC.dds
EMAP_RIM.dds

 

[Ross Balfour]

Ok thanks for that.

So you make a lot of the same cubemap and make 10 different ones,. Each with a different ending? Or 10 different ones??

 

[Julian Webster]

To confusing for me :der: Never mind looks wonderful though.

 

[volf]

Make this two and put in teams folder!

EMAP.dds - for original cars

EMAP_PAINT.dds - for addon cars

 

[Simon Trendell]

Until someone completely explains how to make it work fully.

Take the "CAR_CUBE_more shiny.dds" out of the by 6e66o folder and rename it "EMAP.dds".
Then place it in \Steam\steamapps\<Your User>\race 07\Gamedata\Teams.

It's not the full deal but the shine is much better

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

Work fine for me! Thanks Alberto

 

[Ryan Callan]

Thankyou Si - I was also confused

 

[Alberto Marzi]

Ok thanks for that.

10 Different, everyone is a part of file .gtr , if you take, for example in GTR2, 1 file .gtr of 1 car in folder Game Data /teams files , and open it with Geditor , you can find all 10 files :wave:
