F1M23 Ultimate F1 Manager 23 Modding Tutorial

View attachment 713786- On the bottom left of UE, open the Content Drawer
- You will need to create the exactly same folders as when you extracted from UModel (the Image 12 has the example with Aston Martin
- After created the folders, just drag the correct TGA Textures to their respective folders

View attachment 713787
- You can just ignore "StartContent" Folder, i personally change this on UE: Edit > Project Settings > Packaging > Advanced > Directories to never cook = and add "StarterContent"
- Now that we set the folders we click on Platforms > Windows > Cook Content

View attachment 713788
- Wait till finish, then find your Epic Games folder, enter the Projects > MyProject > Saved > Cooked > Windows > MyProject > Content = and then we will find the folders you created, with uasset files of the textures, copy the folders (like Cars, Headquarters, UITextures etc)

6. Creating new .pak and finishing our mods

- Open UnrealPak, i already put your mod folder (the folder name will be the exactly .pak file name), i always name my mods like "pakchunk0-MODNAME_2_P", i dont know exactly why, but if i do not name with "_2_P" the mod wont work
- Inside the mod folder, we will have the path: f1manager23 > Content = and then folders like Cars, Headquarters, UITextures, its here where you will copy the Unreal Engine project folders

6.1. Remember the Volta.locres file that we changed team names or things like that? Now, you will use the file

- Copy the "Localization" folder we exported with FModel
- Put the "Localization" folder inside the "Content" folder on UnrealPak (Image 14 show the paths)

You CAN mod more than one thing at the same time, you dont need to mod just one team, or just one folder (like just Cars, or just Localization) - i personally prefer to not do the things together just to keep the things organized

- After you finished setting up the folders, now you will drag "pakchunk0-NAMEYOURMOD_2_P" to UnrealPak-Without-Compression (i only used this, dont know if it will work with the Compressed version)
- Then a cmd windows will appear and a new .pak file will be created, thats your finished mod

7. Install your mod

- Well, this part i think everyone will know, just copy the .pak file to "Paks" folder inside the Steam F1 Manager 23 folder, and your mod is done
- Just make sure to not install two mods with the same changes, like same team livery or logo to avoid errors (i did this and take a LONG TIME to understand what i was doing wrong)

How do you have no "Engine" folder in your UE5 project? Does it matter if I have one?

[taufik22]

solved

how do you solved that?

 

[Géo_Packet]

how do you solved that?

I copied the wrong Unreal engine directory

 

[Brazuca87]

seems there's some issues with locres unpacker... after you use it, some texts are lost... maybe it doesnt export/reimport the whole thing properly

 

[Tifosi_Abarth]

I have added the AES key but must be missing a step. Everything seems fine for my 'add on Paks' but the game core paks are still locked

 

[DKommers]

Does this work the same for the 24 version?
And you can than change the names of motor suppliers?

 

[SiP]

how do you solved that?

cooked directory wasnt correct. i put the "game" folder in the "content" folder and so on, but the "content" folder is already the "game" folder ^^

 

[taufik22]

Anyone can make simple tutorial how to repack F1M23 mod livery to F1M24? I really need it
