AMS2 - User Livery Overrides

There is a custom-AI set for Fabian's awesome skins available here.

 

As John already wrote: he has made an AI file with names and nationalities which you need so that my skins make sense somehow. I'm working to expand that file with custom AI attributes so that the better drivers (Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt etc) will be in the front rows.

 

Am I missing something, or is it not currently possible to have a transparent visor on the '1991' helmet (i.e. the new-ish one now applied from F-Classic Gen2 to F-V12 iirc)?

The other templates allow a separate visor dds file, which you can adjust the alpha on. The new template includes the visor on the main template. The _dist.xml still mentions visor dds files, but I haven't got it to work (if it's possible).

Transparency is cool btw :

 

Hello everyone, is there a way to give real names to the AI in multiplayer mode? because they switch to the generic ones when I enter a session with a friend. thank you

 

Yep the helmets with transparent visor were better, The none-transparent visor ones don't have a detailed interior, so perhaps it is better they don't have transparent visors ,helas

 

That's a good point - I was not thinking about the interior modelling that the others had...

Maybe a v2 of this helmet might be considered at some point in the future to add interior and visor details (but without changing the exterior template again ) - or maybe this more basic approach is just a design decision that has been made and we'll have to live with it.

Hi there,
I'll post my question here and in the custom AI thread because I think it fits somewhere in between.

I just updated my F-Junior skinpack (LINK) and included @john Ellis custom ai file.

Now when I enter a race two Jean-Pierre Beltoise appear on the grid although there are no double Beltoise in the file. I also asked John about it but he hasn't found an answer after checking. So this seems weird. Perhaps somebody has a solution or finds the error? @Rob Thompson ?

Find attached the custom ai file + formula_junior.xml

I appreciate any help.

Edit: I might mention that without a custom ai file there are no double Beltoise. However also no real names and the structure of the file seems correct.

 

I have found exactly the same as you. Doesn't matter if you choose 19,18 or whatever cars, you still get 2 Jean-Pierre Beltoise entries. If you Select his car, he does not appear in the race at all, as should be expected. Very strange. Good luck finding an answer. Be sure to let us know if you solve it.

 

Thanks for helping, guys.
It's really strange and I haven't found a solution yet.

 

Maybe remove the hyphen in <name>Jean-Pierre Beltoise</name>?
<name>Jean Pierre Beltoise</name>

 

Another good hint, thank you. Will try that later!

 

I know some will roll their eyes but I’m fairly new to PC , 2 years. I have been using CM and have been fine installing complete skin packs but my question is how do I mix in a couple of other skins ?
so for example I download a GT4 skin pack and want to add say a different skin to the BMW gt4 how do I accomplish that.
The more basic you can explain the better

 

You deactivate one and activate the other I would assume

 

I would assume that you have to copy the individual skin manually into the folder with the skinpack and then the xml file has to be adapted accordingly. In my opinion, this is not possible with the CM for AMS2. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Please, as often asked before, let us finally modify the windshields for certain formula cars, like the Lotus 98 T or the McLaren MP4-1C.
There are some car classes where altering the windshields is possible, whilst in many others, it is not.

 

As you are new to PC and this modding stuff, I would recommend to import the files without using the CM.
1. Download the mod
2. Unpack it
3. Copy/paste the files manually to your game folders.

This needs a bit more time (but not really much), but this way, you learn the file structure of the game and to understand how this modding thing works in a certain title. You also see if a mod overwrites original files of the game and can make a backup before bringing in a modified one.

 

Thanks for the quick help!

 

Is there file for F1 1992 and 1993 season with drivers performance ? Actually we have some skins for that seasons and drviers names but is so unimmersive fighting in 92 with Grouillard or Poele for 3 rd place while Senna is 10th etc
