MGP17 Custom number tutorial

[vladimirjeger]

Can someone please make a video tutorial in ENGLISH how to make my own number in photoshop and make it show in the game? I have tried on my own but no luck so far, here is the screenshot of what I've tried... this is the KTM file from MotoGP2017.MIX

bike numbers are separate .dds files in every bike folder...open it up with gimp or photoshop and edit away.

For some reason GIMP won't open those dds files for me but I have an extension for photoshop...So you're saying I need to edit Pol Espargaro's or Bradley Smith's number? And then what?

Nevermind I managed, what I want to know now is what file I need to change so that my number is shown in the results after the race?

You'll have to change that in the data mix, I think it's the Pilot file or something like that, and change one of the numbers that you can currently choose for the career pilot

That's what I needed to know, I didn't have a clue in which mix file it is located

That's a nice number, did you increase the number size or is that the stock size on the Ducati?

Thanks...I have made a number in photoshop and saved as a PNG, then paste it on the BIKE8XX.DDS in GIMP2. Then I've modified the size on the go... I wanted to mod the number especially for the Ducati, cause the numbers on the front of the bike were very small by default... On the other bikes the size of the number was OK.

I need to know what color do you want it to be, cause you can not change it in the game, and do you wan't the same font like mine?

Your custom teams will be in the Moto3_2017.MIX, Moto2_2017.MIX or MotoGP2017.MIX in the bikes folder, you just need to find the right sub-folder...As you can see I have opened the Ducati folder in MotoGP2017.MIX and except from the factory Ducati and Pramac there are other teams and custom teams that use the Ducati bike ....
