up ??? what do you mean ????

javimompia · 20 June 10, 18:10

i´m interested on that issue too

IN GTL and GTR2 you can replace the skies.
That means, change GTR2 skies for GTL skies and vice-versa.

Maybe you can change the Evo skies that way too?

the sun lensflare is in Gamedata\TEAMS\LENS_FLARE_SUN.dds

that's just the sun "texture" and not the other lens flare stuff, if there's a similar .dds in GTL you can replace it

Thank you for reply, but GTL files are very different from the GTR EVO ones; Gamedata\TEAMS\LENS_FLARE_SUN.dds does not exist in GTL

Kazumi · 24 June 10, 15:34

mhh... maybe it's packed like in GTR2 somewhere

(Teams\stex.gtr , openable in GEditor... in GTR2, dunno in GTL)

Hi,

you're right

1) I've found and opened stex.gtl with Geditor,
2) I've exported LENS_FLARE_SUN.dds
3) I,'ve replaced the GTR Evo\GameData\Team\LENS_FALRE_SUN.dds by the previous exported file,
4) but, it does not work !
5) I noticed the following thing :
exported file is 1 Mo and I can open it with paint net or DDS converter but the GTR Evo LENS_Flare_SUN is 63 k ans it's impossible to open it
iI think it's for this reason that its not working , no ??

Sorry for my poor english !!

no problem

no idea. do you got offline or steam installation?

you could try other mods or my sun texture (attached file) and see if it works and then maybe recreate the sun effect you like

Hi Kazumi,

1) I tested first your texture on GTR Evo Offline :
file in GTR Evo\GameData\Team\LENS_FALRE_SUN.dds
track : anderstorp because there is a big sun;
now the game crash at the end of track loading (initialization) !!???!! ;
2) then I tested your texture on GTR Steam;
here no crash, I can drive on anderstorp; but now the sun disappeared,
3) Then I tested on offline and steam with the sun mod : it's the same,
4) Finally, I put back original sun texture in GTR offline , then KO !!!!! (same as first test)
5) Finally, I deleted sun texture in GTR steam ==> idem second test !!

It's looks like as if the problem is now stored in the game

Why It is impossible to open original sun file texture with DDS converter 2 or paint.net ??

Set lens flare in cockpit"1", No changes. Is there a mod for this? I would love it if we could race during the afternoon and see the lens flares and setting sun!

Because the default Evo files are encrypted. You will have to find a decrypter tool and decrypt the files before you can modify them.
