Custom Liveries Tool - Livery Manager and Livery Package Export

[crowtrobot]

Don't know if this has been addressed in a while, but I would certainly use this feature if present. Back when pez2k's Custom Skin Organizer was developed during the WMD days, I made a habit of downloading the authors' preview images and placing them in the requisite folder. That way I could scan for the livery I liked without having to recall from memory what it looked like.

As I mostly race in single-player, I haven't really taken the opportunity to play with this new tool of yours. But without the images it doesn't have quite the same usefulness for me as the earlier tool, although it seems very feature-rich in other regards.

Hi eracerhead,

Sorry to say, that feature's quite dead for the foreseeable future. Reason's are two-fold: 1) I'm really time-constrained this summer between work and some life things, and 2) I wrote the interface using python and PyQt5 - neither works well with .dds files without requiring some additional libraries that cannot be pre-packaged.

Totally understand that a livery editor/browser would be expected to contain a preview window (kind of embarrassed not to have it, honestly), but them's the breaks.

Thanks for the response. The DDS files wouldn't be as useful to me as just seeing an image of the livery applied to the car, but I hear you; scripting is a chore, esp. when you have work or other matters intruding on free time. If that feature comes some day, that'd be great. If not, I'll make do.

I tried to add a skin to the MP4-12C today. Skin appears in game but cockpit view is messed up.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Jarvis,

Go to Vehicles\mclaren_mp4-12c_gt3 and Add or modify the line of the banner.dds to the code below. Do it on the mclaren_mp4-12c_gt3.rcf and mclaren_mp4-12c_gt3_hr.rcf files

    <REPLACE NEWTEXTURE="vehicles\textures\liveries\mcl_mp4_gt3_banner13.dds" TEXTURE="vehicles\textures\mclaren_gt3_banner_diff.dds" />

Works for me

You need to either have a banner.dds file included with your livery, or do as aestrems says and manually edit the .rcf files to use one of the existing banners. It's showing up white because there's a broken texture mapped to the windscreen.
