Modding Questions Thread

Hello

Can you mod Car Skins on Photoshop CS2? Thanks for a reply

Yes, but I'm afraid you can't open the 3D models. You gotta use the vanilla skins to mod.

OK, are there any tutorials to help with modding on the vanilla skins? As without the 3D Models it seems as it is quite difficult.

No, you gotta do it by eye. Or contact someone to give you the livery .psb files for every car.

So how would you know which part of the skin is for which part of the car? Is there a way you can see the progress on the 3D Car somehow?

No. 3D models only work on Photoshop CS5 Extended and CS6 Extended.

Question:

Is there a way to edit the database to allow all cars to get into Q3 in a full qualifying session?

And

Has anyone tried inputting a setup in one of the 7 setups in the quickcarsetup tab on the database to bypass the inability to edit a "full" setup in one shot qualifying in-game? Has that worked for anyone?

You have to create an "o-ring" essentially. I usually do this:

1. Open one of ML2166's models.
2. Go to "wheel" and double click it.
3. Save the wheel.psd file and make edits to it. Create a color circle and cut out a hole in it however you'd like. Test the thickness of it. It can't be too thick or close to the center or it starts to run onto the spokes and other areas.
4. When you're ready create a flat copy, select all, cut then double click the "wheel" layer again from the 3d model. Paste your work in and test it out.

Mostly just trial and error from there. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll try it when I can . But usually my 3D Car Model doesn't work well on Photoshop (it says not enough RAM). So how can I change the wheels without needing the 3D Car Model, and if you know as well, how can I fix the RAM issue?

Get more ram or a newer computer?
I think I misunderstood your post but either way you have to open the high texture pssg file in the specific cars folder and export the wheel dds, open it in Photoshop and edit it. You can test it out on the 3D model in Photoshop or just save a copy as a dds and import it back into the game.

For some reason, I don't have .dds as a savable option (On Photoshop CC), what could I do because of this?

Are you on a Mac?

Windows

You need to download the plugin:

OK Thanks

EDIT: @Rodriggo I installed it but it still isn't a savable option

Maybe its because I am using Photoshop CC, on the link it doesn't include that version.

Anyway, onto my question:
Is it possible to edit the video intro when you select a team for career? The video that pops up, and shows a short animation with the team logo? It's currently a .BIK file. I'm working on a team pack with a friend, and he wants to change that

I'm looking for a good logo of the non-tobacco version of the BECK'S logo...

and the non-tobacco West logo too (you should also look for the "DAVID" one).
