F1 2018 Modding Questions Thread

[Proyecto]

Hello, I'm trying to change the Driver's and Team's names but I cannot don't find the answer for me to do it my self, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance. Following F1 mods chats since long time and this is the very first time I write.

I have the 1.06 patch and no localisation folder was found in the Game Data

Localization folder was added with 1.13 patch.

Localization folder was added with 1.13 patch.

But there's any way to change even without the folder or adding the folder in the 1.06 patch?

Only with old Cheat Engine table for 1.06. Search somewhere on the Internet.

how can i edit the numbers of drivers?

Is it possible to replace a current F1 driver's head with one of the generic head models that you can select in career mode? I've tried looking for the models in ERP but cannot find them currently.

How can i change the driver faces? For example, Vettel´s face on Hamilton´s Driver.

Found out myself that it is infact possible to do this!

Using the techniques of the video above, but rather than swapping one line for another, we edit the line to point at the generic driver head.

For example, i changed the following line in all of the XML files referenced:

<part id="Driver::Head" mesh="eaid://character_package/heads/male_driver/lewis_hamilton/idf/lewis_hamilton"

to this:

<part id="Driver::Head" mesh="eaid://character_package/heads/male_generic_driver/james_faflick/idf/james_faflick"

the path to those generic heads can be found at F1 2018\character_package\heads\male_generic_driver, and then just pick the name you want to use.

I have noticed a slight glitch with the cap texture mapping, everything else worked fine. The cap worked fine with the recolour previously, hopefully someone can help with that.

I've only tested this as far as the career hub in career mode, but it works there too.

Good work Madp!
The cap issue can be fixed by replacing the male_driver cap_d, cap_n, and cap_s files with the career_cap_d, career_cap_n, and career_cap_s files in the .erp and override the cap_n and cap_s mipmaps in the game.

How did you manage to get the podium faces to work so well? I get awkward contortions on mine.

It's probably the animations

does seem to have an issue with the driver suit also swapping, any fix for that?

Yes probably.
I replaced Leclerc with a generic Juan Lopez head and did not change Leclerc's animset initially.
I have since changed them to Raikkonen's animset but have not been able to test.
Doubt it will work but maybe it can kill the emotion that is skewing the face?
What's interesting is that Madp seems to have achieved the heads showing reactions.

the one thing I noticed was that when I moved Ricciardo to Renault his emotions moved but others didn't. Ricciardo's emotions were written in the lines swapped which could be the key to that

Is this normal when importing texture in 2018 or have i gone wrong somewhere this is the mclearn.erp for the steering wheel

you've very likely done it wrong, did you use a black background when saving and use the correct save settings? I can see you have the wrong format for steering wheels as well

 

[jburon72]

The file format for that texture is wrong. Car textures with transparency should be save as SRGB BC3 and like Kine said you need to use a black background.

it is possible to have the 2 cars of the same team with different performance from each other. thanks in advance.
