1. Go to the MM Community Hub in your steam client.

4. Find the "Layer" mod and click it.

5. Click on the subscribe button.

You can proceed the same way for my other mods you found on step 4.

BASE MOD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (WINDOWS)

Spoiler: Click to view Install Instructions

1. Download PART1 and PART2 on your computer. Both parts are necessary.
2. Right-click MM 2016 Mod 1.x.x.part1.rar and uncompress it.
3. Part 2 will be uncompressed automatically. You should now have a folder MM_Data with the installer right next to it.
4. Launch the installer and follow instructions.

If the installer does not work for you, simply copy/paste the MM_Data folder into your Motorsport Manager folder.

BASE MOD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (MAC) - Thanks to Mr Peugeot and Alon2o

1. • Download PART1 and PART2. Both parts are necessary.
     
   • Create a folder anywhere and put both mod files in this new folder
     
   • Open Part_1 of the .rar file with an extractor (I use The Unarchiver but I’m assuming any upzip program will work)

- After I installed the mod, the drivers, teams and staff are fake and all logos are original ones.
You didn't activate the mod "layer" on the Workshop. Please do so as stated above.
- My game crashes during or after launch / I get a black screen then nothing.
Make sure you run the last version of the game on steam.
Go to Steam then right click on Motorsport Manager>Properties>Local Files>Verify integrity of game cache. This will synchronize your game to server version which is always the last version available.
- I don't see the car liveries. Rest is working fine.
Liveries do not work in 2d Mode. Turn on 3d mode.
- How can I change logos/team names/... myself?
Download Unity Assets Bundle Extractor and open resources.assets with it. Extract textures or textassets with the "plugin" button on the left. Modify things and import file back using the same "plugin" button.
Logos are in logos1@1080. Practice and Quali Times are in simulationsettings.

Need to find testers.

I'd be happy to help. I'm about to finish my second season with your mod.

 

[dimagico]

don´t get me wrong. It´s really great mod and it´s worth working on it, but i really missing ultra hardcore option in it.(not in mod - in game ) It´s to easy unless you want to play always in Mercedes skin (even with worst GP3 team in few seasons). First problem is..... setups are not changing on same track due to weather or temperature...or dust and othe rknown factors. You may write setup down after first visit, and you can use it with minor changes on same track every time. Same goes for tyres, which is always pretty much the same on same track. I do hope Sega will release some sort of track editor too, because you get bored with this same tracks after season or two...no matter which championships you drive. I would love some moders could build tracks like in rfactor, so we could get complete "real" championships on real tracks ...with different setups for particular event. So.....i´m slightly dissapointed, because i´m not sure harderness can be implemented with mod?

 

[dimagico]

and guess what ...first race of second season F1 was won by Mick Schumacher ....and Alex Rossi came third

I'm sorry, I've tested and both v1.0.1 & v1.0.2 are still crashing the game. It isn't working, When I try to do it manually just change drivers.txt and teams.txt in resource.assets. Then it already cause the crash, I wonder is it because I did not delete the savegame start at the Motorsport Manager v1.0 that actually causing the crash or some of your mod file isn't compatible with Motorsport Manager current version 1.1.11891+18.20161128.2101. But I have tried with both v1.0.1 & v1.0.2 on initial 1.1 patch Motorsport Manager version 1.1.117 (18-11-16) & latest small patch the 1.1.118 (28-11-16) and all result in crash.

What's your game language?
Did you download the livery update pack?

[DnyI]

If you have the extra liveries pack installed on steam and want to play this mod then you will have to untick livery pack under the DLC's otherwise it will crash (2016 ver 1.0 works but newer versions do not). I had that problem and I can play now after disabling livery pack.

 

[enzoli]

That explains it.

 

[shadow28]

i had the liveries pack the mod 1.0.2 and i can play the game.it crash once at first race but when i load my save again it haven't any problem.i am at 6 race now without problems

 

[georgetimms23]

Yeah I've had no crashing issues either

Confirmed. 1.0.2 does actually work with liveries pack. Did you have liveries pack on 1.0.1 aswell? With 1.0.1 I just got a black screen when booting game. Didn't actually try it without liveries because I didn't think of it then and 1.0(mod, not game) worked fine with them.

 

[dimagico]

OK, started new career with latest version. Start with Hitech GP is OK with only one sponsor interest in team before Sochi. I also switched from mid races to long... maybee game is only to easy on shorter races. Well see. But... i don´t know why you had to choose how long races should be at the start of game. It should be... GP3 (short) GP2 (medium) F1 (long) ...now...i have 50+ laps in all categorys. Any chance to implement in mod?

 

[georgetimms23]

Yeah I agree that would be better

 

[enzoli]

Glad it works with livery pack. Though I didn't change much from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 appart from Manor Livery. But I doubt that's the reason.
Good news anyway.

This is how race length is calculated :

  <RaceLength>
    
    <ShortRaceLengthInMiles>50</ShortRaceLengthInMiles>
    <MediumRaceLengthInMiles>85</MediumRaceLengthInMiles>
    <LongRaceLengthInMiles>130</LongRaceLengthInMiles>

    <!-- These modify the number of laps for the circuit depending on the political rules in place -->
    <ShortRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>-7</ShortRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>
    <ShortRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>7</ShortRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>
    
    <MediumRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>-10</MediumRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>
    <MediumRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>10</MediumRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>
    
    <LongRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>-15</LongRaceLengthShortSessionRulesLapDelta>
    <LongRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>15</LongRaceLengthLongSessionRulesLapDelta>
    
  </RaceLength>

We could try lowering race length but I doubt this can be changed for specific championships.

 

[georgetimms23]

If you can't then I think something between medium and long races may be best?

 

[asiebel]

well, i did finished first season with Hitech GP and being promoted to GP2, while Russell easy won champs. Sponsor wise is OK...with some 3m on account before collecting prize at the end of season (13m). So....from that perspective, i think game is still to easy. Also gutted that Rosberg,Massa,button(OK)...Raikkonen,Alonso,Hamilton (?) not OK decided to end career. A bit much lose for F1?

I looked through the drivers file and saw that in this mod the peak age of all (?) drivers are at 28. In the original file e.g. Hamiltons (Chapman) peak age is at 33 not 28. Maybe that's another reason for earlier retirements?

Anyway, huge respect to your work. Amazing mod and great support from your site. I must admit that I just bought this game after I saw that you are working on this mod. Big thanks!
