Templates and Painting Instructions

[Tume]

Ok thanks I'll send every single skin tomorrow

 

[Jimmy Dion]

Skin rSeat sent

 

[Tume]

By the way is it okay if I name the number 49 as 49T and 49F? It's kinda confusing when there's two 49's.

 

[Eduard Mallorquí]

Solved.​

 

[Johannes Kunkel]

no, that´s the correct adress

we didn´t make a new one this year

 

[Tume]

You can send the skins to that address

Skin rSeat with good texture sent ! sorry about this..

The base texture and extra0, extra1 are still in 2048x2048 when they should be in 1024x1024 as in the example car.

In the 2012 mod download topic I saw that my templates were rejected because of the wrong size, but I used the template files I've downloaded from this forum. What should be the right size and how do I save it like that? I don't exactly know where I went wrong, 'cause this was the first template I've ever made

 

[Johannes Kunkel]

1.3- Keep the original file resolution (from the ingame files)

You should check out the files of the example teams included in the Mod. The templates have a resolution of 2048x2048, but the files ingame should be 1024x1024 to save performance.

Thanks for the quick reply
okay, and I can set up the 1024x1024 size with that nvidia plugin?

If you are using photoshop, before saving, you should go to Image -> Image Size and set it there to 50% of the current size. After that you save it in DDS as normally.

 

[Ralph van Roekel]

okay thankyou! I will try it in a moment

 

[Jimmy Dion]

Anyone can tell me if the texture is good for the rSeat Team ?

In my opinion, there are a few problems with some of the current included cars in the mod:

1- AT Racing uses completely different skins between its driver 1 and driver 2 and that way it will be confusing for the broadcast to know they are from the same team. I think team identity is lost this way.
2- GT Omega is using the number 1 in their WT car but they should use the number 0 instead, because the number 1 should be reserved to the champion driver only.
3- Flying Finns car is too bright, probably because of wrong alpha channel.

That's just my opinion.

 

[Ralph van Roekel]

okay, I sent the changed templates with the right size. Could I get a confirmation if the template is okay?

 

[Maurice Brackhahn]

I messed up resizeing the templates, too. I'll send them resized today.

I agree with your points, the teams have been contacted and asked to change it.
