Yeap, if possible.
Im still trying to make that visor transparent to work on a helmet cam!
Just now i noticed that it is not transparent even on Parc Ferme, i though it was
But probably theres a xml file with these settings right?
Like the render_materials.xml. Unless one of those files it for the helmet, but im almost sure it is only for car parts

Gotta say Roberto, I haven't seen anything regarding helmet xml's.

I think it's hard coded.

I know the driver helmets point at a helmet texture within the pssg files, and the career helmets don't....thats why we get the white visor effect in career mode on replays.

I'll have a look around on my travels through the wonderful world of Codemaster files, if I spot anything I'll let you know.

Thanks man!
One thing i know for sure, if this is regarded to textures, then you are the one to find it

I found this on the system folder (render_persistend_data.xml):
<pssg processor="InCarCharactersPlugin" filename="/data/characters/models/driver_model.pssg" userdata="Master Model" bindAfterLoad="1"/>
So i think the answer is inside this driver_model.pssg.
Its a plugin inside the pssg file? Probably after figuring out how 50% of this game works, i will consider myself a developer!
If you see anything please tell me. I really appreciate that. Thanks ML!

Hi guys, I'm using the new visor mod that's been released and I have put together my own image but it looks strange in the game. this is a jpg of how it looks in Photoshop:

and this is how it looks in the game:

There seem to be green areas that shouldn't be there Does anyone know the cause?

 

[Andrés Guti]

in the database.bin tab AI DRIVER
how it works "BAD DAY CHANCE" ??? 1 is good or bad
how ir works "GOOD DAY CHANCE" ??? 1 is good or bad
how it works "MISTAKES"???? 1 is less mistakes or more mistakes ?

Sorry my english, I hope you understand =)

Looking at the 2 images i really think its because of the gamma in game. The same image is much brighter in the game, thats why you are not seeing the green on Photoshop. You can lower the gamma on the game, but i think the best solution is to make the image darker on Photoshop.

Database changes are lower number = less, higher number = more. So Bad day chance at 1 means a driver have 100% chance of having a bad day, same for good day chance and mistakes. Mistakes at 0,1 = driver hardly will have mistakes, while at 1 = driver thinking about the pit box girl instead of the race

Thanks bud, I came to the same conclusion just about sorted now

Thanks for the clarification

Had the same problem, mine was on the visor itself, then i decided to make it brighter on Photoshop to see if i could find the "visor problems" and them i found. Doesn't look exactly the same due to the gamma.
Anyway, having this is awesome, now just fix the rain drops and if possible change a little the sound while using the "helmet", will be even better!

Thanks for the clarification

No problem. Glad to help

Mistakes is inverse. Lower value is more mistakes and higher value is less.

 

[Roberto Costa]

Mistakes is inverse. Lower value is more mistakes and higher value is less.

You sure????

Oh . These guys at CM can work on development while they are drunk???

But for the opposite it follow the logic right? More means more and less means less?

Guess now i know why the AI isn't crashing too much

 

[Deleted member 137812]

at least that was me told and u believe its true. same for mech failures.
just check te default mistake values. lower = poor

Yeah, i remember that. And based on what you told me, completely makes sense now.
So thats why Agressive/Cautious poor drivers have a lower mistake number than the good ones. Hm....
Looking at the DB now, yeap, even mech failures have lower values for poor drivers.
But other tabs like agression/control looks like it higher = more.
Really hard to understand what CM crazies do!
