As far as I am aware I think you can yes, but I'm not 100% sure so if you get banned don't blame me!

Can hardly believe you can get banned for changed textures. Got more mixed feeling about the ocon --> Haryanto mod. Anyone who uses mods and plays online??

Who wants to drink some?

Can this texture be used for F1 2015 champagne?

In 2015 you would not get banned for using mods online, I assume it's the same for 2016

Hi,
I'd like to modify my driver avatar in career. I have found where are located the texture for the faces for the 3d model: they are in: ..\F1 2016\character_package\heads\male_generic_driver\.. (there are several folder with the name of fictional drivers in there which contain the textures)
But i don't know how to make the texture from 2 pictures of my head (side and face)
I want to change the avar for the menus of the game and the top of the garages. I think they are located in: ..\F1 2016\asset_gropups\f1_2016_ui_package\textre_arrays\driver_avatar\.. In this folder there is 5 folders named by the size of the picture of the avatar and in each of them we can find the names of the fictional driver for each team like: ferrari_alexander_doddy.assetgroup. The problem is that these files are in assetgroup format and i don't know how to open and modify them.

is there anybody who can help me on how to create the face texture and how to open assetgroup files?????

Hi guys.
I was driving for haas until I was offered a number 1 drive for Ferrari, just after the sliverstone weekend.
You cannot choose you're team mate at this point.
Is ego's database editor compatible with f1 2016?
Maybe I could change vettel too number 2 driver.

Thanks.

I don't think there is a Database for F1 2016 or atleast not one we have found that can be opened I might be wrong but I think that is the case

You can use the ryder language editor ->https://sourceforge.net/projects/petars-programs/ to change Raikonnen's name to Vettel, this would make Vettel the second driver alongside you.
To do this:

1. Open Ego Language Editor.exe and go file->open and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\F1 2016\localisation
2. Find the language you want to edit (_eng for english) and open it.
3. Go to edit->find and type lng_drivers_ferrari and replace the K.Raikkonnen to S.Vettel (or whatever driver you want). Then find lng_kimi_raikkonnen and change it to Sebastian Vettel. Finally change lng_raikkonnen to Vettel.
4. Save the updated language file and overwrite the previous one but make sure you back it up.

If you have photoshop/gimp/paint.net you can also change the helmets around so that in your career mode Vettel is using his helmet

Are you saving using the correct settings and using a dds plugin?

 

[Markus99]

Are you saving using the correct settings and using a dds plugin?

Im not sure on the first point... When I save the data (in the ERP achiever) I have to select where I'd like to save it, I save it in the wep folder.

Which settings do u mean?

Atm I'm not using a dds plugin, I'm using paint.net but I also have PS.

My bad on the settings, got confused between f1 2015 and f12016 formats, don't worry about it.

I would suggest using photoshop with the nvidea dds plugin (https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop) because back when I was using paint.net to mod helmets on 2015, they always were invisible in-game meaning they were saved incorrectly.

Good morning everyone!,

Just wanted to know if anyone knows how to extract a .mipmap helmet texture in DDS format when you've already modified it?
You may have all viewed my Max Verstappen NEW Helmet(Orange) in the downloads section - Trouble is, i was going to do some tweaks to the texture, however i keep getting this (TypeError: an interger is required)???

Whether i've missed something in this thread i'm not sure, but if anyone can enlighten me on this issue, then please be my guest!
