AMS2 - User Livery Overrides

Just a little question.
I installed the f1 1997 skins for the FV10 Gen 1.
Are the helmet liveries present?
I keep seeing white or black helmets.
Is there a livery pattern for that year's helmets for F1?
Maybe I did something wrong in the installation?
thx in advance

 

U speak about the pack from Leorock? That does not have helmets, never did, maybe in the future, who knows.

helmet creation, just like car liveries, nice ingame car preview pictures, driver suits or a custom driver file takes hell of hours.
Don’t “get used” to such a “service” from the modders, all for free, it IS and will be some very special thing provided by some modding groups. u can for sure say always “thanx” for all the passion and dozen of work hours by “buying a beer” for the modders, yes even when they do not rub this into ur face.

 

In this video you can see the liveries of the helmets

 

I've done almost all of them and they will be released at some point

 

The helmets are originally from the F1 1996 mod. I just installed some of them into the 97-files for fun.

Drivers now have full outfits as accurate as possible to their respective seasons.

 

how to edit the XML file?

 

You need to be specific, for what exactly ?

I am also currently opened for any commissions .

 

Doing some Caterham Superlight livery tests.

 

So from the Overides folder, this means Total Vehicles = 200, is this the correct officail number of vehicles avaliable?

As im working on a project and only have 165 ish in prodject, not counted in live game ( I though I got them all) and own all DLC etc

I counter vehicle Live in game & got 192

 

Hi, does anyone know how to override the drivers suits without overriding the default AMS2 car liveries? I'd like to override the driver suits for the 2022 Stock car series but im not sure where im going wrong? Anyone have any ideas?

 

I think you can only add suits when you add liveries as well.

Workaround: Extract the vehicles from it's bff-file and make your own custom liveries folder with them. Then, you can also add suits.

 

Bff file? Apologies, I'm pretty green at all this....

 

Can someone please advise how to update the .xml file to add helmet liveries to 2000 V10 F1 cars?
And does the helmet.dds file have to be a certain file name for the game to recognize it ?

any help would be greatly appreciated !

thanks

 

In your main installation folder, there is subfolder ...\Pakfiles\Vehicles, where each car has his livery.bff file. You can unpack them them using the quickBMS-tool and then create a custom livery folder with them, in order to add helmets and suits.

 

No, you can give the files any name you want, does not play a role. The path and the syntax have to be correct. The livery ID must also be the same for car, helmets and suits.
Here is a short example how it should look like (just for one car):


<LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="61" NAME="Benetton Playlife #11" BASELIVERY="Default">
<PREVIEWIMAGE PATH="F1_Season_2000\preview11.dds" />
<TEXTURE NAME="BODY" PATH="F1_Season_2000\body11.dds" />
</LIVERY_OVERRIDE>
<HELMET_OVERRIDE LIVERY="61" BASEHELMET="DEFAULT">
<TEXTURE NAME="BODY_DIFF" PATH="F1_Season_2000\11-helmet.dds" />
<TEXTURE NAME="VISOR_DIFF" PATH="F1_Season_2000\11-visor.dds" />
</HELMET_OVERRIDE>

 

Thank you

I can see why no one has done the helmets yet, the helmet template is a bit of a hassle to work with, and appears to be an Arai GP6 helmet shape which was not used in the late 90s, early 2000s. I hope Reiza uses a more accurate helmet shape with an update in the future, one can hope!



edit:

just a quick test, it's a start

 

if i may give you an advice here...

dont put too much efforts in this, because F1 2000 season is going to receive a massive "immersion" update
