    Hi,

    after the release of LMP3 Ligier we are yet again battling with the ever-changing naming scheme and the lack of templates for driver helmet, gloves and suit.

    Could it be possible to unify the naming scheme to a point that trying to figure out the file name wouldn't take longer than the actual work on painting those?

    Also, it seems that there's a new helmet 3d model in Ligier LMP3 car and whilst the altxxHELMET.dds is working, the 3d model is so different that using old templates don't work at all.

    altxxHELMET is actually the only file working as extra8 & extra9 nor GLOVELEFT & GLOVERIGHT nor GLOVEL & GLOVER doesn't work despite .veh in the first update telling it should.


    tl;dr

    Could you release official templates for helmet, driving suit and gloves and keep them updated when there's new content released.

    And could you please unify the naming scheme of these things in the official content. As it's all encrypted it's impossible to find the corresponding files and even .veh files seem to point to wrong direction at times.

    Wouldn't it be easier for your content creation work flow as well to have these things unified?

    100% it would help.

    Lack of documentation for car release is a problem for leagues/skin makers.
    Unified naming of extra files would be something necessary.

    Also, releasing template for helmet/gloves/suit if it's not standard would help massively.
