Materials question.

[Mark Schilling]

is it just me or is the gravel material supplied with btb different to the one supplied with rbr? It feels different t drive on. If so is it possible to extract the actual rbr materials for use in btb?

It is not different. You can use exactly the same material.

Maybe you will find interesting the last post on this thread:

Thanks thats great

Was just using that prog you recommended to view makeup of materials but am still confused how to extract them for use in btb? I just want same gravel physics properties as first british rally stage in rbr so as i can have same feel on my track. Sorry if i'm being slow but am new to this. Thanks.

As soon as you know the code of the material, you can use the material editor that is located inside the BTB_PATH\Support\RBR\MaterialEditor. There you will find a Readme.txt file.

When I have created the file with extension .rbr, I just copy it inside the Textures folder of the texture's XPACK. If the texture is named texturename.dds, the rbr file should be named texturename.rbr

The .rbr should look like:
data0=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data1=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data2=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data3=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data4=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data5=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data6=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data7=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data8=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data9=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data10=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data11=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data12=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data13=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data14=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86
data15=86 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 86

but you will see the code(s) you selected, not 13 or 86.

I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help

Sorry but am not getting this. How do i find the material code. Am lookin for the material used as the gravel in british stage 1. Can ya help me to find that and if i can see a specific example i might grasp the concept more clearly. Again sorry for being so slow and i appreciate the help

 

[Mark Schilling]

I copied the material file from the first british stage and pasted it in my custom track folder and renamed it. That seemed to work. Anyone else tried this?
