Skins Opala Stock Cars 1986 - Nascar Liveries 3.0

[Pywackett-Barchetta]

It's gotta be '86 (Schrader), '87(Kulwicki), '85(Rudd), and '83(Petty), for me.

TomLehockySVK updated Opala Stock Cars 1986 - Nascar Liveries with a new update entry:

Work in progress - Earnhardt & Elliott livery updates

Dale Earnhard updated with better decal scaling & Bill Elliott re-worked into the 1986 livery. I will still keep the COORS 1988 as an optional choice.

This will be in the 0.36 update.

you have FOUR "updates" in one day, yet JUT ONE car
don't know how you manage that
can you please slow down a bit with these "updates" and publish when you really have something to show

while I was writing here comes yet another update
and this is your update - "This will be in the 0.36 update."
good god
they should really have some kind of algorithm for these kind of stuff

Apologies as i am having a bit too much time on my hand at the moment and many times i am unsure whether something will be released soon or not.
But just one car ? I actually released 2 cars within the last 24 hours and tomorrow it might be two more cars / updates with Earnhardt and Elliot.

And with saying "publish when you have something to show", i am actually only doing that. Always making "work in progress" if i cannot finish a livery in the same day, then there are "livery roadmap" updates of what is finished and finally "livery voting".

It's kinda difficult for me to find an "update schedule" at the moment.

you can write HERE, something like "hey guys, this will be be in next update..."
no need to "release the mod" when there's actually nothing in it
what, are you boosting your download numbers ?
that's just not fair towards guys you have to keep download and download...
or, maybe there's someone else like me, who CONVERT all these textures (cause I find them much too big for my taste) from 6.144 x 4096 to 4096 x 4.096 and getting 10.5mb texture instead of - 24mb
and imagine my joy doing that five times a day

but it's you mod I guess... you can do what you want with it
just it's a shame

First i want to say i do not care about download numbers, i just want to always have an up-to-date version of my mods and when i finish up a livery, it gets added to the pack in the form of a number update. If you don't want to download with each car added then wait for the 1.0 version once all 20 cars are there.

I never thought about converting the textures into a smaller resolution because i have no idea that is even possible, or how to do it without accidentally breaking something. I only started making liveries a few months ago and that was a mess since i accidentally posted a pack without the XML or with a broken XML file added to it, so i am still learning as i go on. But i always want to make it better, as best as it can possibly be.

 

[gamer19]

ok
got your point
sorry if I sounded too harsh...
if it helps - you did a great, great, job with these cars !
really.
I couldn't do it

thank you

TomLehockySVK updated Opala Stock Cars 1986 - Nascar Liveries with a new update entry:

Dale Earnhardt & Bill Elliott update

I wasn't at all satisfied with how the Wrangler and COORS liveries looked because the sponsors were too small.

That is now fixed and also Elliott's main livery is now from 1986. The 88 is still part of the pack as an option.

This is just my opinion but I'd like it if you stopped making updates every time you want to make a vote or show WIPs. This pack has received 16 updates and less than half of them have been actual updates to the mod, but all of them came with an alert making like 80% of all alerts I've received since the pack came out and I find it quite spammy.

Michael Waltrip and Richard Petty

Michael Waltrip 1988 Country Time

Richard Petty 1982 STP, the livery with which The King achieved his 200.th victory.
View attachment 626112
I also fixed the STP on the hood of Kyle Petty - it was too big and orientated the wrong way.

Cale Yarborough of the 80's

Which of these 3 liveries is the most popular ? Can't decide which one to make. Although that Valvoline is looking cool, as well as BUSCH.View attachment 626533

Valvoline looking more familiar to me :shrug:

I decided I won't download your mod after every "update" but rather when it's all finish
just don't keep telling "this is definitely the last version!!!", like some people do

If my pace will keep at the solid speed i am at right now then it should be done within a few days. It is only missing 4 more cars and the custom AI.

Once that is done i will only make AI adjustments if i will find it necessary / based on feedback.

 

[Kingkoenig]

I'd go with the Busch livery for Cale Yarborough. The Valvoline looks good, but Valvoline is a more common sponsor, but the Busch is quite unique.

Keep up the good work!
