    Well here I am also testing the issue of chrome and others.

    What is not clear to me is if this is only informative or influences the final view and if so, the possible combinations that exist.
    • BASELIVERY="Chrome">
    • BASELIVERY="Default">
    • BASELIVERY="Matte">
    • BASELIVERY="GoldWheelsChromePaint">
    • BASELIVERY="BlackWheelsMattePaint">

    It isn't there natively, but you can make it work
    add the subfolder;
    mini_coopers_1965b
    in the overrides folder and add a file called;
    mini_coopers_1965b.xml

    <LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="51" NAME="MINI Cooper S #99" BASELIVERY="Default">
    <LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="52" NAME="MINI Cooper S #122" BASELIVERY="Default">

    issue of „Chrome“ ?
    To me there isn t a issue atm. I can support you so we generate more nice new-shader skins.
    Yes the
    BASELIVERY="Chrome">
    BASELIVERY="Matte"
    is important.

    BASELIVERY="GoldWheelsChromePaint">
    BASELIVERY="BlackWheelsMattePaint">
    means shader + wheelcover e.g. BMW M1

    If you familar with dds, DXT and alpha-channel PM me for support

    For the life of me I can’t get formula Vee skins to work -downloaded off raceroom

    not interested in Ai files
    On YouTube one vid said I have to change a file so ams2 selects the new inserted liveries but I couldn’t find this file

    is there up to date simple instructions ?

    I thought it would be just drags & drop

    thanks in advance

    Thank you very much Xela1.
    I will have to try the shader + wheelcover in this same car, in others it didn't work or I didn't do it well.

    The truth is that I have no knowledge of dds, DXT and alpha channel. The only thing I use for the skins is photoshop, DTX I only accept by default to save in DDS.

    Sorry, I'd like to help.

    Sorry my English but that's google.


    Thanks again

    Also wondering this, having a hard time getting my head around the settings needed.

    I can get chrome, and ican get matte, how do I get metallic or a satin look, I haven't been able to stumble upon those setting just yet... the reflections always appear to be very sharp and shiny...

    to feed the wonderful AMS2 with chrome
    to tease the talent skinners out there - a mere metallic-shader-access is still missing ….

    I see you lost the gameplay- no chrome in sight. ;)

    switch BASELIVERY to „Chrome“
    Try this: Grey RGB 107 107 107 on your painted dds. Grey RGB 209 209 209 on your specular-dds and there DXT5 and alpha-channel white.

    Fresnel-dds full black on the parts u wanna „chrome“. Other white, save DXT1

    Danke, I've been looking for the right grey settings and will give that a go, otherwise my settings are the same...

    I've been struggling to get matte black to work as well... Matte and chrome colours no issues though...
