This is the most important part of the league briefing you need to understand! If you are allowed to drive the in league we expect you to be present during all races of the season. If you happen to miss out on an event and go missing in action afterwards without giving any notice the race staff reserve the rights to terminate your licensed member status on RaceDeparment.

Incidents

It may happen that rules get violated. In such cases it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourages this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers.

No report = no investigation = no penalty

A report can be sent to the staff by private message. It must always contain:

o Name of the league: RDCCC S4
o The name of the reported driver (the violator)
o A link to a youtube or vimeo movie that shows the incident in various angles
o A short description of the incident, without rant.

You must always send the report with your own forum account. You can only send a report if you were actually in the race. Report from outsider will be not be considered.
After sending the staff will then investigate the incident. Incomplete reports will not be considered.

Reports must be sent within 48 hours of the finish of the race. Reports that come in too late might not be considered.

Yves, next league is in Race on. shouldnt it be STCC?

 

[Yves Larose]

nope cause in oder for the mod to work you need Race On to be installed, the way the mod is build if you don,t own Race On you won't be able to run the mod properly. its not like a scratch build mod were it use its own 3D model, the 2010 Camaro cup mod lean on almost all game in order to work, the body are Race On, the side Windows and cockpit are STCC, the rear wing is GTR-Evo as well as the wheels, only the sound of the car is really stand alone.

Yves, next league is in Race on. shouldnt it be STCC?

[Ihab Abbas]

i don't know any car viewers for the race games and to my knowledge there is no Xfile or 3Dsmax scne for the car, the way i do my skin is that i start Race On and use the 3D render that the game create to view the skin i,m working on. you might want to wait a little bit for the skin as i haven,t finalized the details yet for the skinning side of the league ( mandatory logo's and such ) and that there will have a new version of the mod release soon that will correct some visual bugs and a new windows template, the body template is the default Race On Camaro one that you have to flip some layers as the exhaust have change side to copy the real Camaro cup car. i have to admit that the skinning part of the car can be a little bit touchy and might require a few tries before you get it right.

Would you please Yves explain more how to use the in game 3D render that the game create?

 

[Yves Larose]

Ihab, its pretty simple. open the body template with your favorite paint program, then let say your base color for your livery is red apply the color to the entire car, save the template in DDS in a folder call the name of your team ( exemple ). after that create the ini file for that car and save it in the same folder as the DDS body file, once that is done place that folder in your custom skin folder and fire up the game ( always keep ypur paint program open ) and select any track and then the car class then the car you just created. after that return to your paint program ( leave the game running ) and do some alteration and save again the template in DDS file in your custom skin folder overwriting the first save. return to the game select another car and then return to yours and you'll see the changes you just made. repeat all those steps each time you make a change on the template until your skin is finished.
