Some questions concerning modding

[paletti]

Hey guys!

I have put some time into modding that great game for some days now. My intention is to create a realistic looking mod without touching the stats and values for drivers and teams, leaving the core game vanilla.

I replaced all sponsors with real logos of brands that are currently official partners of F1 teams. As I did not change the sponsor´s prestige values (1 to 5) in the text file, I exchanged sponsors with comparable prestige according to real life.

My 1st question is now:
Does anybody know what effect the "category" (food, automotive, banking... etc.) in the sponsors.txt file has? Because those do not fit anymore. Do I need to keep the allocation of that categories?

My 2nd question:
Is it possible to change the color palette of the teams and the specific colour used for primary, secondary colour etc.?
There is only one value shown for the colour within the teams.txt file which confuses me a little.

Last but not least:
Where are those decals for the 3D tyres hidden? Can´t find them anywhere.

Hope you guys can help me out here.
Happy new year to all of you!!!
