F1 2016 Modding Questions Thread

[AlbertoSousa92]

Oi, eu gostaria de saber como extrair o 3d do F1 Codemasters, trabalho com renderistas e faz um tempo que tentei descobrir como extrair o ERP em 3D (.OBJ etc ...) alguém poderia me dar algum dicas?

Hi be careful that you import the .tga.dds file and not just the .tga file

How can I change the menu pictures? Also, I would like to change drivers photos on race and on selection screen. Which files should I look into?

I'm getting a weird glitch. I can export ...tga.dds files using EEA but when I open them in Photoshop CS6 Extended (with the correct Nvidia plugin for dds files) they are just pure black textures.
Any ideas please?

 

[kevintaddo10]

Try with Intel plugin

Try with Intel plugin

Thanks - I don't normally have a problem opening dds files in PS - does the Intel plugin do something differently to the Nvidia plugin?

Edit: added the Intel plugin and all works now. A thousand thanks @kevintaddo10

I know you got it working but I'll just explain why it's needed. The common in-game file formats are BC1 sRGB, BC3 sRGB, BC7 and BC7 sRGB. The Nvidia plugin doesn't support sRGB formats and therefore can't load such textures, or in some cases you can open them but can't save them. Even though the game accepts non-sRGB textures they will end up discolored in-game

Many thanks for the explanation.
One last question: the extracted DDS files seem to be of quite a low quality: physically small and quite pixellated. Is there a 'quality' setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Sadly don't know. Maybe you've picked a skmall image

do you have the game directory set?

 

[Mascot]

do you have the game directory set?

Not sure what you mean?

 

[KeisariKine]

Not sure what you mean?

This is what I mean. If you don't set that it won't export with mipmaps
