Help needed for the 2005-2006 Champcar mod

the_wrexer · 25 July 12, 01:15

Been trying all night now trying to get a wet weather tyre to work and show as a treaded wet tyre on selection but it still shows as a slick tyre. I have followed some guides online and so far i have enabled to get the selection to work in the garage to be able to choose soft/hard wets right up to monsoon tyres. I played around with renaming the dds files and no such luck. I am sure its straight forward or might be missing something. I can see the treaded tyres on using GE editor in the GTR file. but is there anythnig else. Should the tyre selection compound be at 1 rather than 0? in the TYR file?

RMI has said on here there is actually a way you can actually select the pink or branded tyres as the dds files are in the TEX files but i am not sure how to go about it. Something about taking the dds files for the corresponding red or pink tyres and dropping in thr cars filder and renaming but didn't say to what.

Hope somebody here can help

You have to know which number in the car genstring does what. Lets say the third number is the tire. It would then call out the corresponding .dds file based on which dds file is numbered. This will always show that tire chosen.
I believe the game engine chooses the wet tire based on the weather. You just have to insure the wet tire dds is in the the tex file or loose in the team folder and named correctly.....

Tread00 = slick
Tread01 = inters
Tread02 = wet
Tread03 = monsoon

The inter, wet and monsoon can use the same texture but each must be named separately. Meaning, 3 actual dds files but identical images each named as I have shown above. You also need a dds file named simply tread.dds, this can be a copy of the slick and must be the texture you actually appy to the model. On each wheel model you then need the animation sequence set to 0,1,2,3. I don't think I missed anything but if you get stuck further post back, I'm sure I can help you sort this.

Thanks Goresh well i want to do is use the inters, wets and monsoon tire treads and textures off the f1 2009 mod which i hope the author won't mind if he is reading this. So confused but what you told me so far made me understand...a little lol. I will keep you posted Goresh and thanks gonna be another long night lol.

I have been looking at this mod and have GTR2's standard treads working. It wouldn't be so hard to use the treads from another car with what I've done sofar. I am also almost done creating the blacks, red and pinks as different styles, you can set via the genstring once I'm done. If your interested I could send you the files and you could use as a base for your edits. Let me know.

That is fantastic Goresh i wanted to get the pinks, reds and blacks to be selectable as different style tyres. I also like i said earler wanted to be able to have an intermediate, soft wet, hard wet and monsoon. If you can get all of those the only other thing then is to get them into the game. The only reason i am going to all this bother is over at NAGP we are trying to get a Saturday league season going with this great mod. So far we have the damage file set just right now but it was the extra tyres we wanted sorted out which is why in a sense i'm giving this a first time try. You can pm me the files if you like and could you also tell me how to add them to the mod please. Or if you can't pm me the files request for my email and you send me them over. I don't know if all things work great maybe let eveyone here a try and maybe upload them. Big thanks anyway Goresh

glad to see people still enjoying this! There is a member ready to release a 2004 pack very soon. IMHO this mod still has the best physics/feel of any mod ( gtr2,gtl,rF )
