Misc URD mods: real names, brands and logos in launcher 2.2

[Edouard 25]

Edouard 25 submitted a new resource:

URD EGT mod with real names, brands and logos - Replaces the URD car names, brands and logos with the real ones and adds descriptions

URD cannot use the real names and logos of the cars since they made their mod "for commercial use".

However, I don't think anything would prevent a random user like me from editing stuff for personnal use and sharing it with you guys for free...

So here are the changes:

• edited car UI files to display real car names and order them by real brand
• brand logos
• descriptions
• new previews for the original skins
• choice of 3 brands for the Viper:
  • Dodge
  • Dodge Viper...

For info on the alphabetical order:

Even with this mod, the cars and brands are not properly alphabetically sorted in the interface.

The workaround would be to change the folders' names. However, doing that makes the cars impossible to use online.

Edouard 25 updated URD EGT mod with real names, brands and logos with a new update entry:

Option added: modified folders names

I added the option to use different names for the cars folders.

This allows the cars to be ordered alphabetically in game
but causes problems when playing online, which are detailed in the readme file.

Off course the option to keep the original folders is still there.

PLEASE READ THE README FILE

Real names??? But aren't the cars modified???

 

[Greg Latty]

Great Mod thanks. Any plan of fixing the Corvette? I know its the correct name, but its still in the urd category and not Chevy. Also, Im not seeing a readme file.

No the cars themselves are not modified.
You can find plenty of skins out here to make them look like the real ones

Oh yeah??? So that's illegal!! Why charge for something you do not own?

I'm sorry, I actually don't understand your comment.
Who said anything about charging anything?

If you are talking about the URD EGT mod, United Racing Design charge for something they own: the 3D models and the mod they created themselves. They can't however use the real names of the cars, brands, etc since they didn't buy the licence for it.

As for this mod, it is absolutely free and I have nothing to do with the URD team.

 

[Rui Santos]

Yeah, yeah...

 

[Edouard 25]

Yeah, yeah...

I honestly don't understand what your issue is.
Could you please explain?

 

[Rui Santos]

I'm against paid mods, for lots of reasons i've write in other threads, nothing against you...

 

[Edouard 25]

Well considering the time and effort put in some mods, I think pay mods are fair when they are of good quality. With URD, you can judge of the quality by yourself with the Corvette and see if you want to buy the rest of the cars, which is fair as well.

Honestly you can't expect modders to spend so much time and effort always for free. They are people who are passionate about what they do, doesn't mean they are slaves.

 

[Rui Santos]

Right, so i'm a very good driver, i spend so much time and effort driving for free because of my passion... now will i get paid too every time i get on podium or am i slave of my passion?

DaFuq are you talking about?

You won't get it... it'll be waste of time explaining it to you...

great work!

I followed the instructions to get the venom renamed to dodge viper - but still get venom in game. Other names are changed without issues in the main screen, but once I go to the show room (or in game) the badges and names are still the "fake" ones for all the cars

I copied the original ui folder as mentioned over the ui folder of the venom - but no luck.

where do you think I could have gone wrong?

Yes please don't waste any of our time with your nonsense

Hi,

This mod only changes the names in the launcher as I didn't go to the trouble of changing all the main files of the cars (plus I don't know exactly how to do it yet so I don't want to mess up anything).

So if you have the real names and logos in the launcher but not once you have launched a race, that's normal.

As for the Viper, I just checked all the files and there shouldn't be any problem in the launcher. Please make sure that you have taken the files from one of the "Brand=..." folders and pasted them in the parent "ui" folder (overwriting).
