[Valerio Vinassa]

my skin for Season 14

 

[Dino Paolini]

My new general skin for this car

 

[David O'Reilly]

My skin for 2015
I think I might have to change the # as Sean has 12 ?

Just to mention that as far as I am aware helmets won't show in-game to other users via the in-game skin share facility.
I tested this on the server in a club race and while my skin was visible the helmet was not.
Its my understanding that they would need to be inserted in some kind of mod.

You can make helmet and driver (if no open wheeler also windows etc) when packing them into a mas. If you want i can send you an example

It should be fine wouldnt Worry about car numbers ATM David something we can maybe change in future tho

One thing I think is no one should make a virtual ride/new team as this has caused disconnects etc and may have been cause if our problems the practise night.

I think Vale may need to change his when talking with David last night.

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

I done Sean remove virtual ride folder and I put my car with the others David,Steeve,Richard etc..

How does this virtual ride transfer work? I guess it only happens if server has skin transfer activated? But what then if clients have skin transfer activated - will there be peer-to-peer transfers anyways? Is it then a must that all players with skin transfer enabled, delete the virtual ride folders or is it sufficient if no one choses any virtual ride? I'm just afraid we wont catch all created folders maybe created from the first time any virtual rides were created. @Gijs van Elderen maybe knows? We should take any precautions here and now.

Don't use a virtual ride on any servers at the moment. Just apply an "alt.dds" skin to a default car.

You can keep your virtual rides on the client side. But if you want to setup a server with your client install, remove them!

Alternative skins or skin transfer how does it work. ==> click here.
Basically:
- Skin uploads to the server (if skin transfer is enabled on the server)
- Once on the server: Skin will download to all clients (if the client has download skins enabled)

Virtual ride transfer works the same. But it sends a .rcd file with the skin. The server needs to be restarted each time a .rcd file is added (only then the server makes use of it).
So i recommend not use the virtual ride online.

Thanks for another holistic answer @Gijs van Elderen !

 

[David Turnbull]

removed all the skins folders from server and also the .rcd files from the renault3.5 folder in settings

 

[Valter Ostman]

Can I use the no. 9 ingame car?

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Sure Valter I made this thread for place to tell everyone else what we are gpoing to use etc to cut down on the amount of same cars on grid, to make look good on replay/stream we have plenty time though

+ this is how I picture @Gijs van Elderen in my head Our resident games(rf2)master

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Martins skin

 

[Martin Oconnor]

Ohhhh my days that's wicked,even got my name on it lol

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Was thinking it might be a good idea if we all upload skins etc here.

Then create a download pack so easier for everyone to get skins installed as well as helmets/suits

 

[David Turnbull]

could everyone upload their skins here so I can add them to Mediafire

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

or we can use My Drive.


edit: I not considered the downloads section of RD for upload the skin only for let more free space for free skin not for 30 League skins season14, 30 League skin season15 etc..

 

[Peter Decker]

hm what is needed, just the .dds for the car and the other .dds for helmet?

 

[Steeve Fournier]

.i am not able to upload .dds file here. is it normal??
