I think we're gonna need an update for ERP Archiver for F1 2017. Could somebody possibly contact Petar Tasev about that?

Does he have anywhere we could contact him? Also, while I'm here:

Would it still be possible to have any drivers helmet with any kind of spoilers in career mode?

I sent him an email. Waiting for response

And about the helmets, i've not done career helmets, so unfortunately i can't answer you

That's the error i'm getting when trying to export from the ERP Archiver.
And no, it's not the wrong folder...

And exporting from the driver texture folder with "noesis" also doesn't work and gives an error

Yeah seems like they've changed the mipmaps in some way, did you try to export as .tga with noesis? We will need an update, the best way to contact Petar is probably through the ego engine discord but I know someone already did talk to him

I tried as tga, no success. I emailed him, and yeah, someone has also contacted him on Discord

I have managed to get textures out and in through EEA, it appears that the problem is entirely exporting, and using a version of EEA from launch 2016 which doesn't use Mips allows exporting some such as decals. It isn't a perfect system but it does work.

The important thing is, does it export helmets? xD

helmets are mostly in the mipmaps which I have not yet found a way to open, I'll have a look for them soon but anything with a decent size in the ERP can be exported with early EEA and edited and imported back in, the newer EEA seems to have a bug with importing which messes with colors though so I'd recommend old EEA for imports as well

Personnally I have no issue with ERP Archiver. Don't forget to set F1 2017 main directory in ERP Archiver. Also I export all texture file, and I get a normal size texture file (4096x4096).

Edit : For some reason I can open only certain helmets. I have an error on some and others open normally

When I try do that and export it says can't export because of a mismatch with the mipmap (even if mipmap is manually selected)

 

[KeisariKine]

Okay I tried to use Grosjean or Hamilton (which you can export from incardriver with EEA 5.2) to overwrite mipmaps and then copy them and rename the mipmaps for other drivers but unfortunately it doesn't work.

Has anyone figured out a way to make the game save after modding? I don't know of a manual save way (with autosave disabled) and offline mode didn't help.

 

[Geckarbor5LP]

Does anyone know why the Telefonica logo is so blurred?

 

[ReesGaming]

can anyone help with this mismatch thingy please

 

[KeisariKine]

Lee Mather answered me on Twitter that we can't run mods and have the game save for now but maybe the ERP Archiver can get a patch to get around that.

no patch out yet, you need to either get a new mipmap editor or get an old EEA (like 2.0) to be able to edit it. Though the game no longer saves if you have it modded so it's not exactly worth modding for now
