NEW CUSTOM LIVERY SYSTEM - AMS2 V1.0.6.2 +

What are you referring at?

 

that was written a short time after the new replacement system arrived.
Most packages on discord haven't been converted at that time.
So the reference was, that converted packs will be online soon. ( back in december )

 

@Wolfgang Herold
Thanks for your help. That combined with a You Tube video on transparency helped me figure it out.

 

great, but this file in your screenshot doesn't have an alpha channel. You cannot see through.
Transparency on a layer IS NOT alphachannel

 

I think I've got it now.

 

Firstly thanks for the SuperV8 Liveries @Wolfgang Herold they're great, are you planning on adding more? and if so is there a way to include Real Names for the Cars? I need to give Whincup a door smash thanks

 

I've tried to put my F301 livery in the game, that's the file (i'm using the Nvidia Texture Tools Exporter to save as DDS)

I've edited the XML code like this (this "livery" named folder stores the file)


But ingame the livery showed is the game OG


What's happening?

 

you wrote
PATH="livery/livery_checko_ams2.dds"
there is a "/" not a "\" !!!
should be
PATH="livery\livery_checko_ams2.dds"

I wold also put the preview image in the same folder, not "myracingteam"

 

Such as this?

 

yes, but now you forgot .dds in the texture line, i think the filename is checok.dds

Simple rule: the PATH is defined as PATH="folder name \ file name"

Also give your previews unique names.
e.g. if texture name is "checok.dds" , the preview could be named as
checokPreview.dds or
checokPre.dds or
checokP.dds
Then you have a simple reference from texture to preview.

 

Not working...

 

i assume, you didn't rename the f301_dist.xml to f301.xml ?????

in case you deleted it, line 7 must be
</USER_OVERRIDES>

 

Yes, it was the line 7

I've opened the game and the preview and the livery has changed, but not as my custom

What it could be?

 

ok. now we know, the xml's structure is ok and its acknowledged, but the system either cannot find the files or they are saved in a wrong format.
Next is:
does the folder LIVERY exist?
are the both files inside that folder?
are the names spellt right?

I always suggest, that beginners should download an override package from someone and then analize thee xml and the corresponding folder carefully. Then it should not be too hard.

 

1 - yes, it exist

2 - yes, both files are in (and this debug)

3 - the names are spellt right, i guess

 

then put the \Automobilista 2\Vehicles\Textures\CustomLiveries\Overrides\f301 folder with all files in a zip and upload it. Maybe someone or me can have a look at it and find the issue.

 

There you are.

 

both of your files have a size of zero bytes

 

uh oh, it could be the nvidia texture tools?

 

I've found some files that has KB, so i shoved all into the game folder but
