AMS2 - User Livery Overrides

I’ve been out of the AMS2 loop since June. Hyped to see helmet skinning finally becoming a thing!

 

In F_USA Gen 2, custom helmets do not work on oval tracks for me.
No issues on road or street tracks.


Edit: Also no problems with Gen 1 and 3. Just Gen 2 in combination with ovals does not accept the helmets.

 

Just released my Porsche RSR skinpack here.

 

Hi, your job looks absolutely stunning !! (+ 1 for the chrome amg ) Any plans for sharing it before Christmas ?

 

Are there other settings for chrome effect liveries other than BaseLivery= Chrome?
What would be the steps involved for matte liveries as well?
Update: Nevermind, I found Scar666's Nov 6 post explaining it all.

Thank you! had to sideline Livery making fun for some money making unfun but I can post up where I'm at with this before Christmas if you'd like to have a play using them! I have more free time between Christmas and new year where I'd like to finish them up properly. Will post up here once its on RD.

The full CART 1995 mod (with a whole lot of liveries, helmets + AI) is out now by the way

Finally got around to finishing all of them, if your interested in fictional field of liveries, they are now up over at RD.

 

Great mod! Is there an FAQ on the forums anywhere explaining how to switch around the liveries the sim will use in the race? ie how do I add in one of the Menards cars, for instance.

 

In each car's folder (Automobilista 2/Vehicles/Textures/CustomLiveries/Overrides/CAR FOLDER), there are a couple of .xml files which are called (i/e) cart_lola_t95_mercedes.xml, cart_lola_t95_mercedes - Indy.xml, etc. You could back up the first (which has the default skins) and rename the file of interest (deleting the " - Track_name" section).

Alternatively, you could use a mod manager (like JSGME) separating each car selection into its own mod, for hotswitching it in an easier way.

 

These look brilliant. I think I have downloaded all of your skins - all great. Since "'tis the season of goodwill" and all that I'd like to thank you, and indeed, all of the skin makers for their contributions. They really bring the game alive. I'd like to contribute, but as my artistic skills are limited to sketching a cock and balls, I've wisely refrained.

 

Matías' answer above is basically correct - at the moment you need to go into the five F-USA_Gen1 car model folders and rename some files. There are brief instructions included at the top of each of those xml files in the download - just open one in notepad and have a look.

Here's an example:

Code:

<!-- Track-specific historic lineups by jusk - 1995 Indianapolis 500
*****************************************************************************************
- Use this file instead of the default one to recreate the 1995 Indy 500 lineup.
- To use:
    - Rename the "cart_reynard_95i_mercedes.xml" file (found in the same folder as this file) e.g. to "cart_reynard_95i_mercedes_default.xml"
    - Rename this file to "cart_reynard_95i_mercedes.xml"
    - To swap back to the default file, just reverse the renaming process!
-->

Though I appreciate it's not as straightforward as we would all like. I hope to get around to writing a proper set of instructions at some point in the next few days.
