RDHCS S10 - Livery Requests/Discussions

[Tim Ling]

A few ideas for S10 . There's even one for Senad

Nothing too fancy, but then I'm a simple man lol

This might help for Bik and icon ( Click )

Still messing and undecided !

I'm having a problem with geditor. I've converted the relevant files from .gtl to .gtr, but when i try to open them i get nowt. I managed all this last season for my skyline skin, so i'm a bit flummoxed now!

I never renamed the files Ross, just set the .GTL files to open with geditor. That bit works for me.

 

[Ross McGregor]

I'm getting somewhere now, i just need to figure out where i can find the name of the .dds file that gets used in a default gtl car's TEX.gtl file. (so i can see my 'beautiful' skin in-game)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Easiest one to check will be the ULTRA_TEX - that's always the body file

 

[Ross McGregor]

Now this is peculiar, i can open the .TEX file and see a list of files (like .ANM's etc) but geditor won't open up the the ULTRA_TEX. (and i've renamed them to .gtr's since .gtl's weren't opening up)

 

[Tim Ling]

Ross McGregor That definitely doesn't sound right, the only files in the *_TEX.gtl files should be .dds.

I have had a frustrating night, but eventually, after a "doh!" moment (yes, you have to resize the .tga files ), and a "can it be that simple? DOH!" moment (the number you put at the front of your TEX files etc., should be exactly what you put in the car file ...in my case 42TL, not just 42). Nevertheless, I now have my car in the game! . I'm happy, and trying valiantly to resist the feeling of being stupid for overlooking the simple things.

We can get on TS and I will walk you through the process of making a standalone.
How about monday at around the same time we race, like 19 GMT?

EDIT: I typed this post up before reading your latest one. It looks like you got it all sorted. But if you still have any questions the offer still stands.

Thanks Carlos, but I did finally get it right. It only took me 2 hours tonight to figure it out lol

 

[Carlos Diaz]

BTW Tim, the blue and white one was cool, but I LOVE your latest one, beautiful.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

I like the yellow one better Dave, but I'm biased lol, all my cars are yellow.

 

[Tim Ling]

After a good nights sleep, I tried adding my blue & white skin to the game...and it worked . Ahhh, thank goodness for those "eureka" moments, even when they come hours after you really need them.

I did to make a help thingy on the icon... Tim

Rupe Wilson You did indeed "make a help thingy on the icon"...I'm just stupid

 

[Tim Ling]

After learning how to make my own skin in FULL, and then trying to make a skin for the Cobra too I feel it is only right and just to say a BIG THANK YOU!
to Stuart and everyone else who has helped with the skins, both for the league and the club races. Creating the skin is the easy, and fun, part. The rest is frustrating, and tbh, boring, full of minutia of checking you haven't left a .dds out of the .gtl file...or that you haven't properly renamed the said .dds file.

So, once again, thank you to the RD GTL skinning team!

 

[Rupe Wilson]

The cobra skin I got a glimpse of Tim look's really good, nice colours and very stylish... should make a nice addition in a set... goood job sir..
A bit more suttle than my vomit comet abarth

 

[Dave Flower]

I'm getting my head round this a bit now, so for your pleasure - another variation on the Lotus : Just need to make sure I'm actually doing it properly and that they will work for league use now ! Oh and to decide which to enter with of course - I'm liking the Yellow best so far but this one might become Orange or Blue with some added Racedepartment Logos..

Deadline for supplying user created liveries in time for Race 0 (Test event): 24.00GMT Wednesday 23rd January 2013.

Remember to get your stuff to me, or it won't go onto the server.

My status is as follows:

1. All Paint Team requested skins are at the final stages of production
2. All Paint Team requested skin recipients will receive screenshots today for final approval
3. All skins - Paint Team or submitted for finishing - theoretically just need biks to finish them off (and that's a really quick process for me by now).

Another thing - all drivers should download and install this: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/microdownloads/car-files-linked-to-gtc65.321/viewfile

It maps the Alfa & the Escort to be GTC65 cars and appear when the Healey or the Alpine is selected. The old version worked for offline races - this newer version is needed for the Online League races.
