[REL] Historic F3-Eve Community Pack

Ah no problem I think yours missed out by hours mate if I remembering correctly now.

.......along with Tucker Flemings I think, I def remember 2 just missed the boat.

So I am just warning everyone to make hay while the sun shines is all.

In case no one has noticed the cars to be added has gone from a handful to 14 which would put the mod close to 70 cars I think, I lost count. lol



Anyone can work on these if they like, if they turn up with another skin it can be changed.

#14 - Too Slow
#50 - Tamski11
#55 - Spinelli
#66 - Doedel
#85 - Tanto

 

Bug I never noticed before Mat

Nice work Billy.

 

Awesome!! Thanks again for the great effort! Lots of extra cool AAR stuff! I even figured out how to install it!
Thanks Billy and thanks to DD for the collection!

Drop the mas file in DRIVE:\rFactor2\UserData\player\Settings\ISI_EVE_Historics_1968\MS5_20

If you do not have that folder, Run Offline, select All Cars/tracks ( or a mod with ISI Historics NOT the Community Pack ) select F3-Eves, select Car #20 (Red ) , click on TUNING then click on tab "CREATE DIR"

Close rF2 and drop the mas file in the newly created folder.

Start offline, select Car #20 (Red ), click TUNING, click on the scroll bar for alt skins.

The reason I say use it in ISI_EVE_Historics_1968 rather then Historic F3-Eve Community Pack folder for now is that loose skins have an effect on the community pack.

Offline you don't get a proper set of regular drivers you can see a duplicate

Online it just lags out the room skins do not appear quick as they should.
Like even though skin transfers is turned off I think it still sends basic message about the car info somehow
and it conflicts.

Your car will be added to pack next update.

P.S.

If you want to add it to the community pack that is your choice.


All I ask is if you come online into mine or another's room running the Community Pack first delete or move the
Historic F3-Eve Community Pack folder out of settings altogether.

Once you in pack the loose skin becomes archive.

 

love your enthusiasm!!...glad you like it and hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it...i really learned a lot doing this one - had a huge eureka moment when i figured how to use the alpha channel to mask reflections from certain parts of the car - notice how there are no reflections on the decals and also doing that made the slots in the hood and the side scoops look like they were actually cut out of the body....now i have to redo mine...i'll see you on track - definitely will get a big kick out of that!!

 

Maybe i can help easing this a little bit.
Go into the folder "..\UserData\player\Settings"
Create a new Text File and call it however you want BUT with the File-Extension "BAT".
Open it with a rightclick and select edit.
Enter the following Lines into it:

Code:

@echo off
IF EXIST "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack" GOTO aktiv
IF EXIST "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack inactive" GOTO inaktiv
:aktiv
echo This deactivates loose Skinfiles for the Historic F3-Eve Community Pack.
@ECHO OFF
SET Choice=
SET /P Choice=Press enter to confirm or e and enter to exit
IF "%Choice%" EQU "" GOTO Start
IF "%Choice%" EQU "e" GOTO eof
GOTO eof
:Start
ren "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack" "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack inactive"
GOTO eof
:inaktiv
echo This activates loose Skinfiles for the Historic F3-Eve Community Pack.
@ECHO OFF
SET Choice=
SET /P Choice=Press enter to confirm or e and enter to exit
IF "%Choice%" EQU "" GOTO Starta
IF "%Choice%" EQU "e" GOTO eof
GOTO eof
:Starta
ren "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack inactive" "Historic F3-Eve Community Pack"
GOTO eof
:eof

Now create a Shortcut to the File and move the Shortcut to the Desktop.
Running this File lets you activate/deactivate the usability of the loose Skinfiles of the Historic F3-Eve Community Pack.

 

Thanks.

I use BatchRun is handy can do all that.



Really with skin transfer disabled it should be possible to have the folder and not cause issues.
I suspect even with skin transfers off it still sends basic info on the car file and a loose skin somehow conflicts.

or something.......

 

Maybe "off" just means "off" for the Transfer.
But if it causes Problems with "loose" Skins although the Transfer is set to "off", one would need to know how it is coded/programmed.....

 

Mod Matra F3 is ready for test DD & Mat please check your priv.

Texture update, texture rebalancing, sound upgrade, good FPS as well

ps. Zippyshare limit - mod size 196MB including all files - car, sound, community skins and 9 guest skins as well.

 

Is there any way we can add the tyres to Tuning ( and get rid of black rims )

I love the refinements but I a bit of a stickler for the old tyres.

What we need is a Screamer mod, make 2 complete packs one modern one Historic

Change the modern type skins to the screamers and do more subtle ones for the Historics.

An ramp the power up a little in the screamers like BB's Fast F3's maybe not quite as much 50-50


Sounds like a lot of work, sorry lol
They still got to fix our tyres and rims................I cringe every time I see that gawking gap. hehe
Maybe we could plan for then, if and when.


Projects for F3 peeps:

We need to get rid of more grey helmets as well.
Anyone interested in designing helmets and driver suits for individuals.



P.S.
What would look great is scuffed out white lettering ie: Suit privateers car or the scratched skins.

 

Need template for helmet?

 

I made a little helmet pack with 13 plain color generic helmets,12 rF2 logo helmets, and 7 historic constructor helmets...
suits are a little more involved - maybe i will make some matching ones if i have a chance...sll the helmets are dirtied and scratched up if that matters to you...enjoy guys!

Nice, thanks Billy.

 

I would like to take #97, looks like it's still available. I'm going to attempt my own skin but not sure if I'm biting off more than I can chew

 

DD & Matf1 -

DD's been talking about improving the AI and I note we have no RCD files... care for me to take a crack at it?

I've been thinking of giving the AI default setups for Belgium, Brianza, Longford, & Monaco. Probably the same ones that DD hands out. And I'd take care of AI shift points that DD is always complaining about.

 

Sounds great

 

I would like to request an EVE F3 Skin, Bright yellow car, number 013 with 3 decals one for the nose and on for each side. I have the decals already from skins on cars in other mods. Here is a copy of the nose decal. For the sides it would just be reverses of the beaver head.

 

David, pick again, 1 to 100 only , #13 is taken ( see list above your post )

I settled on only 100 as I never thought we would fill the slots anyways.

Letting people use any number would have created more complication in editing existing skins

Oddly all existing skins used here only had numbers under 100.
