914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914 Skin for GT Legends
Posted by: seanery Dec 21 2005, 10:01 PM
Here's my first attempt at a skin for a game. I found a template and just played with colors, stickers, etc...This is what I'm driving right now on GT Legends.

thats the rendering from the game? I dont know if those are even the right terms but
WOW that car looks amazing.
Sean, Very nice stuff!!
Posted by: lagunero Dec 21 2005, 10:07 PM
Nice!
What's "moronpedal.com"?
Posted by: TimT Dec 21 2005, 10:07 PM
can you make the running surface more realistic? put some tire snots outside and inside the line. And make a bald spot at the apex.. also a bit of litter here and there would be appropo
Posted by: seanery Dec 21 2005, 10:07 PM
that's a screen grab from a replay. All rendered real time.

Tim,
The racing surface actually looks decent, my angle and the glare of the sun have obscured it a bit...no marbles, though, blut plenty of oil on it.
Posted by: Jeroen Dec 21 2005, 10:14 PM
well done!!!! 
doesn't GT Legends come with a 914/6 GT ?
I'm pretty sure I saw a demo with one in it...
Posted by: seanery Dec 21 2005, 10:21 PM
yes, this is it. Before I reskinned it, it was the factory orange. Nice looking, but I wanted to make it more personal. The inside is still a bit orange, but I hope to figure out how to make it match the exterior.
Posted by: Jeroen Dec 21 2005, 10:28 PM
ha... I looked again :cleaning-glasses-smiley: and spotted the fender flares
at first glance the pic looks like a stock/narrowbody
still... very cool job!
Posted by: Eddie Williams Dec 21 2005, 10:37 PM
Are you running the demo? The web site says it won't be released till February.
Posted by: trekkor Dec 21 2005, 11:32 PM
That looks fantastic!
I want to play

It's been released, just not in the US. I bought an imported version on Ebay.

I d/l games to get a good demo... if I like 'em I buy, but GTL beat me... I'll have to buy from Europe

Wayne,
there are separate S/Ns for the disk and the multiplayer mode. Every time the game starts it checks the DVD - takes about 15 seconds. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I think the disks may be serialized - or at least have a huge list of approved S/Ns buried on it somewhere.

yep... the "fix" to get around it involves(short version):
mount the .iso using Daemon tools or alcohol120%, edit your registry, start an xp background process, disable the dvd node, unplug the cd-roms IDE-cable, run a hack program that patches xp temporarily to ignore starforce validations...
hence: they win! that is too much trouble to save shipping from UK...
but yea, the S/N you get on the box has to match the specific DVD...
the last game that "won" was HL2... their SOURCE network attachment was impossible to get around, too

Dave,
This is a PC game, I've got a P4 2.8 with a gig of ram and an ATI 9700 Pro video card with 128 megs ram, it plays ok, but I really need a 256 meg video card.
Blitz,
I'm using an older Logitech Wingman Formula Force steering wheel. The current version of this retails at $65, but I bet you can find it cheaper on Ebay or something. Used isn't necessarily a good bet because there are bearings and play can become an issue. Logitech has a really nice new one called Momo Racing...it's real slick ~$100.

YIKES!! I won't be playing that one anytime soon. My PC is... shall we say slower than a stock West Coast issue 1.7L 914.
Oh BCinSC... How about a swap. I'll help more on your car and you build me a machine to play this??? I need to put that MOMO leather wheel to some use.

I've been playing the demo on my p4 2.0, gig-o-rama and a 128 mb. It plays fine. However, with more video memory, you could probaly turn up the eye candy settings.

I'm excited now! I've figured out not only how to skin an existing car, but create more unique cars (based on their existing models). The game comes with 1 914, which is cool, but not enough. I've now added 3 more! Here are a couple screen grabs of my current progress.
914s now include:
14 - CFR - Chris Foley Racing
370 - Factory GT
632 - MoronPedal.com
922 - MoronPedal / 914World.com

Posted by: seanery Dec 23 2005, 09:00 PM
I don't see how people drive harder games like this one, GPLegends, etc...without a wheel! It's gotta be hard!
Oh, when you guys start getting the game I can give you the cars I've been working on and show you how to add them and others to your game!

That would be cool...do you just re-skin the existing other cars or are they complete with 914 physics? I've done some skins for another game using photoshop...seems I needed to add a plug-in for a foreign format....what format are the GTL skins?
Posted by: seanery Dec 23 2005, 11:18 PM
dds skins
cars are made via a .car file
cars are additional 914s added to the game, so the physics are 914 correct

I am a bit confused. I went to order the game but went to the GT Legends site to see what they had. They say that the next update of GT Legends is Feb 6. What gives?
Posted by: goose2 Dec 26 2005, 01:06 PM
it's not "officially" released yet in the US but you can find the English version on gogamer.com .......either from their website or on eBay. I ordered from them on eBay and got the game in 3 days...
Posted by: campbellcj Dec 26 2005, 02:51 PM
This is way cool!
When I first heard about this game, I figured it would be my excuse to get a new 'puter or upgrade this one. Now I'm basically convinced!
Will the PS2/GT4 Logitech wheel work with a PC as well? It is a really nice setup and is USB driven so it seems like it sure could lash up to a PC if there is driver support.
Posted by: seanery Dec 26 2005, 03:29 PM
Chris, I've done it the other way. I've used a Logitech Momo Force on GT3. It worked great. It might be worth a try going the other way.
Posted by: seanery Dec 26 2005, 03:30 PM
Here's another. It's based on the #46 911 GT2 that ran at the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2005.

the gravis has great throttle/brake control, but the steering lacks the ability for minute adjustments...

Wayne,
If you go to the Best Buy site and buy the Logitech Momo wheel (sweet wheel) then option to pick it up at the store, they have to honor any price you find on-line, Tiger-direct has it for $74.99. Take in the tiger-direct ad when you pick it up and they will sell it for that price. BB is asking $103 for the same wheel. Or order direct from T-D and wait. This way you get it NOW...you must have it NOW!!!
Search the BB site for price matching and read the policy! I would take a copy with you, just in case. Did your bud look at the 356? I'm about to pull the trigger on a 66 912. Sorry

nah, he really wanted a convertible...
good idea on the BB price match... I didn't know they matched the on-line prices
cool!send pics of the 912 when you get it!!
Posted by: 1bad914 Dec 28 2005, 01:05 PM
They only match it if you buy online and pick up at the store. Then hammer them with the price matching policy and lower price!
I love the game by the way. I am playing the demo now, but will soon order the full game! I will jump on Seanery's skins...oops that sounds kind of nasty.
Enjoyed the 
btw.
Posted by: tat2dphreak Dec 28 2005, 01:13 PM
yep their website stattes:
Low price guarantee:
If your product is available at a lower price online or in the store at the time of pickup, your credit card and/or Gift Card will automatically be adjusted to reflect the lowest available price.
now, if I can find someplace selling it for like $10...
lowest I found so far is http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=A44846&src=PG
yea, I can't get a 914 in the game yet, with a controller it was too hard to win the first races to get some dough...
for somereason, playing the cars in the demo didn't seem nearly as hard to control... the mini is a PITA with the gravis... I may give it more of a try before buying a wheel I'll only use in one game...
I enjoyed the brew too man! it was good to shake the hand of the guy who built my motor!
Posted by: 1bad914 Dec 28 2005, 01:55 PM
I love the list price as $70.15 our price $70.87.
If I get the 912 pics will follow.
You have to win a race to add cars?? Gimme that code, I'll scam the crap out of it! Just kidding. No scamming taking place here. 
Looking forward to the full game!

HAHA! I was test driving the BMW CSL and did cheerios and flatted the rear tires. It was hard to drive, and the rear end sank, as you can see in the pic.

I was able to drive with the gravis on a lower difficulty level last night... gotta get the wheel though...

I just got the force feedback working on my Momo and it is truly awesome
Drove the 914-6 at Monza and the chicane curbs just about wrench the wheel from your hands.....now I'm totally addicted. Does anyone else find themselves driving pretty crazy on the road after playing for a couple hours? 
Posted by: tat2dphreak Dec 29 2005, 01:22 PM
is it just me(or a flaw in the gamepad play) or do you HAVE to feather the throttle to make a turn? car won't hardly turn if NO gas is being applied... least amount of gas, turns fine...
Posted by: seanery Dec 29 2005, 01:36 PM
It depends on the engine speed and the car speed and the radius of the turn, it actually feels fairly realistic compared to driving on the track.
Anyone care to get a multiplayer game going tonite?

That is awesome! Fantastic job!
A number of years ago PCA-GGR had four 914s painted like the famous 917/962 racecars:
* Pink Pig (Brian Perry, Todd Harter),
* Sunoco (Larry Sharp),
* Yagermeister (Bobby Crookshank), and
* Gulf (Greg Braun)
In the late 90's, I used the pic for the Halloween homepage on the PCA-GGR website as "914s in full costume". I'm looking for it and will post it when I find it.
I ordered GT Legends a couple days ago and can't wait for it to arrive!
Posted by: seanery Dec 31 2005, 09:59 AM
I started a thread yesterday looking for pictures of the PinkPig 917. Trekkor posted some pics of it as well as a link to a 914 Pink Pig. I wonder if that's the car you mentioned?

Yup! That's it!
It was really cool when we had the pink pig, jagermeister, sunoco and gulf 914s on the track at the same time!
Maybe we can "recreate the moment" on GT Legends!

What resolution and colors are you using in the game?
Posted by: seanery Jan 1 2006, 12:14 AM
1920x1200. I can make it look MUCH better if I run a lower res like 1600x1200, but it plays pretty well at this one. If I make DirectX do 16x Antialiasing...it looks awesome - The pinkpig pics are with almost everything maxed out.

nothing too special.
Early P4 2.8 (non hyperthreaded)
1 gig Rambus
ATI 9800XT 256meg video card (just installed yesterday - better, but not a ton better than the 9700pro that came with the system 3 years ago)

damn, my sempron 2200, 9800 pro(128mb), 512 dual channell DDR system can't cut it at 1440x900 with more than 4xAA...
I think a lot of it is the CPU though, the physics in this game is un-freakin' believable...

Posted by: seanery Jan 1 2006, 03:24 PM
nope, they are all flared. They are ALL flared because the game only came with 1 914 model. All skins are based on that model and added to the game.
I tried getting rid of the A-Pillars by mapping an alpha channel on the map where the A-Pillars come from, but it won't work. All that I ended up with was a car with no window glass

just looked at the PSDs and that was my thought as well ...
did you make them the same gray as the windows in the skin part and then just add them to the Alpha1 channel ???

Posted by: seanery Jan 1 2006, 03:47 PM
I just painted the alpha black where I wanted it to be transparent, then extended the back of the targa bar so it looked right.

yeah, i'm just thinking, it might look for the grey areas in the skin part to see where to apply the alpha channel ...
it looks like whatever gradient is used in the alpha channel is also used in the skin part (Parts Layer) ...
can't hurt to try.
still waiting for the demo to finish downloading. dunno if i can swap models to run the 914 in the demo.
we shall see ...

Ever since Seanery started posting these screen shots, I've been thinking that I've got to get this game AND I've got to get a new PC to play it. The thought of an Alienware machine has been in the back of my mind, But, I've always viewed them as being very overpriced. Also, Tom's Hardware did a http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/10/12/the_battle_of_the_gaming_pc_titans/index.html and they were disappointed regarding the build quality.
Anyway, just for comparison I configured an http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_ALX/alx_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-AURORA-ALX-R2&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT. I came up with a price of $5,383 with no monitor. I also priced out the components to build it myself. Same motherboard, processor, memory, video adapter, case, etc. The price of the components was less than $2,900. I think I'll build my own and buy a kick-ass monitor.
Posted by: JOHNMAN Jan 3 2006, 12:41 AM
I wish I had the knowledge to skin these cars, but I don't.
I would like to request two skins:
1) modify #555, keep the red body, change front bumper and valence to black, remove numbers, remove sponsors. (This would be our track car without our gt tail)
2) modify #53, No Numbers, no stripes, black bumper tops, black top (This would be my current street car project)
I just tried the game at 1600x1200 32bbp and it looks amazing.
I like how you priced the cars so that they are affordable.
Thanks, and keep up the excellent work on this.

I got the demo last night, but playing with the key pad is insanely hard.
I'm goign to pre-order the game on Amazon, I think. The US release may have the patches allready loaded. And it is not that far off.
I am going to order the wheel though. Key control is just too frusterating.

Are you fully patched?
Perhaps its because you don't have the US release? I don't see why that would matter, but it might.
Hopefully there is still interest in this game when I get my copy early next month.

Any recomendations

I think I may have miskeyed the online ID. Apparently, the W is actually a 2 Vs. duh...
I found a pretty decent support forum. http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=916
I just ordered a geforce 6200 with 256 mb for $78 from New Egg. If you have an AGP slot go for it. don't think you'll find many high cards for PCI anymore.

i've got a dual CPU 3.0GHZ board so i think i'll be fine on computing power for a while, but the graphics card is almost 2 years old.GeForce 5200 (AGP) with 128MB RAM
time for an upgrade!

Posted by: seanery Jan 5 2006, 12:36 PM
Not all 256 meg cards are created equally. I did some research before I bought mine. I got an ATI 9800XT. While not the newest design, it offers 8 pixel pipelines and a 256 bit data path. I got mine on ebay for $139. ATI's X850XT is the killer AGP setup with 12 pixel pipelines, but the price is pretty steep. The lower end cards will only have 4 pixel pipelins and a 128 bit data path, which is pretty slow.

yep, read Tom's hardware guide before any upgrade choices... when I bought my 9800 it was still faster than many of the next generation cards because of the pipelines being opened...
myself, I'm not buying another AGP card, when I upgrade my pc, I'll go pci express, an SLi motherboard and an A64... I built a PC for a guy at work last year that was like this... A64 3500+, 1GB Ram, and a 6800 Ultra... he's about to buy the second 6800 for it

So did mine. I haven't tried to connect to any servers yet but maybe I will tonight. I wanted to be able to stay on the track for at least 15 laps (at speed) before I tried to race someone else.
On another area of the simulator. I was playing with it the other night and was having a lot of fun and every thing was going great. Two nights later I tried it and found that I was almost getting sick because of the graphics. I was on the same track, different 914 car (Thanks Sean!) but now that I think about it I did change the resolution. I will have to change it back and see if that helps. I don't think it was a color combo. Has anyone else had this type of problem? There is a warning about this type of thing happening in their doc.

Well yes I am, and you have done a heck of a job helping me. A thousand thanks for your help so far, and I hope to be able to learn how you did the short movies and the icons in the very near future.
PS, I have the DDS plugin working now after modifying the settings.
(I did my track car (red) and my street car (silver). Both without numbers)
I wonder if there is a way to modify the steering wheels to match mine........
These cars are a whole lot easier to work on than the real ones, they don't rust or leak oil either.

Well, I got my wheel yesterday, and it made a huge difference on how I wasdoing in the game. Now I am geting tired of the demo. I suppose I am going to have to go to and get the english version instead of waiting for the US release.

Well, the Logitec Momo wheel is going back to Amazon tomorrow.
Used it for 1 day, then did not touch it for 1 1/2 days. After work today, nothing. No lights, not picking up via USB, nada, zip, zero. Tried all the usual tricks. Tested the USB ports with known good devices (USB ports all worked fine), tried resetting all the cables, tried restarting the machine, went to the logitec support page and tried a bunch of stuff from there.
The power, when plugged in and sitting for a few moments makes a high pitched whine. I am guessing the thing burned itself out. I'll have Amazon send a replacement, and see what happens.

| Sean, the second set of cars seems to work OK, but the first set, if I have them installed the game crashes, when I click go race. Any ideas? |
When I first installed the game, I had issues with the cars that I installed. I had tried to test drive a 904 and every time I would go to race, I was stuck back in the 904.
I ended up creating a new player and deleting the old player and all was well. I guess the player data somehow got corrupt. It worked for me.

Thank you so much Seanery.
Your skin sets are amazing. Now I can race with other 914 just I always dreamed of.
Thank you for sharing your work and knowledge.
By the way, a few weeks ago, I made GT Legends video with the 914 fighting against a 911 at Dijon Prenois.
You can watch it here http://914garage.com/video.htm
Of course I will make new videos featuring your amazing skins ... Stay tuned.

This would be cheating, no?
Actually I enjoy the 914 as-is. I love having a Corvette or Pantera pass me on the strait only to out-brake the pig into the next curve and run away on the exit. I've found that car set-up is very critical to running a competitive 914....get the gearing right...watch tire temps and fiddle with camber settings...the right toe-in helps turn-in...sway bar sizes for good balance...diff settings for traction vs "pushing"....just the right brake balance allows you to toss the car into the apex with a little stab on the pedal going in. The best track I've found for 914's with my set-ups so far is Hockenheim....I could race there all day
Posted by: mikelsr Jan 14 2006, 11:50 AM
I am also having problems with Sean's cars. When I first put them on the system they worked and I was having fun. The next time I tried them (test drive from a dealer) after doing some practice laps in other cars and then an online practice session the application just died when I tried to use one of Sean's cars.
I removed them and didn't have a problem running the original. I am going to replace them one by one to see what is going on and yes I have version 1.1.

Well, I got the replacement wheel from Amazon over the weekend. I was camping, so I did not get to see it till I got home late monday evening.
Man, the difference is night and day.
First off, it works. Thats a plus.
When the first wheel was working, the force feedback was very weak, this one is much stronger. It has engine vibrations! I did a couple laps with it around the demo track before realizing that I was so tired I was about to collapse. The difference between the new wheel and the old one is night and day, and I like the old one while it was working for the day it was working.
I can't wait for the US release 2 weeks from now.

Anyone out there know if a no DVD hack is out for this game, I bought it and hate needing to have a DVD drive on my PC just to run a game. I made a very quiet PC (it's silent) for recording LP's and general music and photo tasks and I never intended to have any permenent drives mounted.
Also my integrated video (nvidia 6150) can't quite handle the game - what is better for this game ATI or Nvidia? I know that I will have to mod anything I might get to make it quiet.
Does anyone know how to fix the wimpy engine sounds the 914 makes? The RSR is much better sounding.

Yep - latest drivers. The game is OK I just can't get the eye candy cranked up and keep a nice frame rate. It looks OK but plays poorly - just like GPL does when the framerate is to low, makes it really hard to drive smooth.
What settings are you using. I would really prefer not to add a power eating heat and noise making video card to my silent system.

nope, there's a way around it, but it's more of a pain than using the dvd... the hack involves editing the registry, running a hack called starfuck and unplugging your ide cable to your cd-roms after mounting the dvd's image(which you have to make) using a program like alcohol 120% or DaemonTools...

I'm using an ATI 9800pro AGP. The card will do 8x AGP, but my mobo only supports 4x. If I were building a system I'd get an ATI X850 or X1800 512meg PCI Express.

Posted by: Part Pricer Jan 24 2006, 09:17 AM
I wanted to run somethings past the "gamers" here. I'm planning on building a new system primarily to play GTL. I was just looking and came across this card on Newegg. It is a eVGA Geforce 7800GT 256Mb PCI Express x16 card. The specs are pretty good (20 pixelpipelines, 445MHz - can be overclocked, etc.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130238
Now, here's the kicker that caught my attention. If you buy the card, they will include a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188002 for free. Now, I know that this isn't necessarily the best MB out there, but the price for a video adapter & motherboard is very appealing. I figure that this can get me up and running now with a decent video adapter and then I can replace the MB later.
Any thoughts?
Posted by: seanery Jan 24 2006, 09:35 AM
It looks like the 7800 series is Nvidia's top of the line and the GT is the entry level into the 7800 series. The specs seem good, and the price isn't bad - especially since it's got a mobo with it.

what's your current mobo? unless it's from the past year, it won't have PCI express... and if you currently have a PCI express card, you can probably run the game fine
7800 is the badass of nvidia... top-line
also, with the mobo that comes with it, you need to make sure you have a 939-pin A64 chip too...
Posted by: Part Pricer Jan 24 2006, 11:53 AM
Don't worry about my current mobo, that's going in the trash. Although, I will have an extra Nvidia FX-5200 AGP if anybody wants it.
I was thinking about a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103502. I can't seeing paying for an FX or Dual Core processor just to play a game.
My thought process was to go with the free mobo for now. I has everythng that I currently need including PCI Express x16. And, If I find that it doesn't suit my needs, I'll upgrade to a different mobo later.

Don't get that chip - it's a very old revision (look at the part number - ADA3200BIBOX - the BI portion is the rev or stepping number D0 they are up to E6 (runs cooler and has several fixes) What you want is something like this E6: ADA3000BWBOX

There is an error with the #41 Aubergine Sonauto car. Download http://www.moronthrottle.com/GTLegends/41_SIM_TC76_Porsche914.CAR and place it in the #41 car's folder to fix it.

AndyPS: are those other car controlled by the computer or did you drive against real people?
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 16 2006, 08:15 AM
Well, not that I would have bought a whole new computer for this game alone...
But it happens that just 4 days after my full copy of GT Legends came in, Erin and I descided to order a new compy. It should get here today.
Oh, and after a few hours of playing the full version... Man, I SUCK at driving everything but the Mini. I can win the Mini Cup races on Amature level, and place them at Semi-Pro, but am having difficulty with the Dorift-O King races at Novice (or whatever the second level is). I don't yet have the scratch to buy the 914, but I took it for a test drive.

I have not installed your pack yet. I was waiting for the new computer to get here before I did that.
Also have not installed Civ IV yet, for the same reason. I was going to wait to install GTL unitl the new machine arrived, but I could not wait to play it after playing with the demo for over a month.
hahahaha. When I installed the new full version, erin said "Well, at least they changed the horrid music before each race!"

I need some help setting up the 914.
I need suggestions for front and rear toe, spring rates, torsion bar size, brake bias, tire pressures etc...
I keep losing it in the turns, under and oversteer.
Or does someone have a setup file I can download
thanks
Tommy
Posted by: seanery Feb 20 2006, 09:41 PM
I can't help you too much, about the only thing I do is make the front bias about 60% and take the fuel down to exactly the number of laps I'll be running or maybe +1.
Posted by: dan10101 Feb 20 2006, 11:09 PM
Search the "online" setups. There are some VERY good setups there.
Big change comes into the power things..
but search the online setups for the more popular tracks and download them, if you dont like it, delete it..
Some of them have ratings...

logitech wingman formula force here, quite a bit cheaper than the momo.

Logitech MOMO is an excellent choice. I have one and its perfect for GT Legend ...
Don't buy any cheap wheel if you want to have fun with the game.
Posted by: tommy914 Feb 23 2006, 10:00 AM
I'm using the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel.
Works good, but doesn't seem to keep me from running off the course.
I getting good at racing in the runoff area.

The paddle shifters on the Momo are a blast. I'd be up for a race tonight, I got basketball until 9pm EST. We can give it a whirl.
I might add some of these new tracks to the server, so you might want to download them. LeMans looks like it would be good.

Mt. Shasta rocks, the Nordschleife is cool, but takes a while to learn, the glen would be cool to do.

Posted by: mikelsr Feb 23 2006, 10:49 AM
The other day I read about a new(?) wheel that was 2 1/2 turns lock to lock. Did anyone else read this or was I just smoking something I shouldn't have? If so do you remember the name of it? I am using the logitech wingman formula force and thought about getting a different wheel.
I did get about an hour or so to just race the other day so I sold one of my cars and bought a 914 and started playing with the settings. I finally have something going that I can keep on the course (for the most part). The longer I played the better I got (still have a long way to go). This game is addicting. I am trying to get my son interested in it but he doesn't care much for cars.
When you run the races on the private servers what level are you running them (novice, expert, etc.)?

Had a blast "racing" online with Les. It was mostly Les showing me the way around the track, then me crashing. I am getting pretty good at "offroad" racing though. Thanks for being patient.
Can we get a GT Legends online racing sticky to post schedules?
Or maybe something in the events forum?

A few questions;
1) Does the game come on DVD or CD?
2) Does the game require you to have the DVD or CD in the drive when playing?
3) Which steering wheel do you use and do you like it?
Thanks much, hope to see you online soon.

3 ) Logitech MOMO ... I Love it ! Precise, strong, reliable, lot of features

The US version, I've been told, is on 3 CD-Roms.
The Import version is on DVD.
The import version must be in the drive when running the game.

Allright Sean... I need some help. I was trying to design my 914 as I am intending to paint it. But when I load the car into GTL it has this funky orange overspray. Particualrly on the sail panels, chrome windshiled trim and banner. What am I doing wrong?
Also, how do you change the car icon and car name at the dealer? I copied my DDS files into a copy of one of your folders. Now I have car 80 showing up twice, instead of car 75 and car 80 showing up.
I was usign the tutorial found here :http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=229800 but it seems like it skipped some steps.
Thanks
Zach
Posted by: seanery Feb 24 2006, 05:16 PM
make sure that the car number inside the .car file matches the file names of the car you're doing.
Open up one of the ones I did and scroll to the bottom to see that info.
The icons are the two .tga files in the car's folder, one is b/w for when you don't own it, the other is color when you do.
The animated movie for each car is the .bik file.
If you send me your files I can probably tell you exactly what is wrong or missing. sean at moronthrottle
also, be sure to give your driver a unique name.
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 24 2006, 05:20 PM
Thanks, I'll do that. Looking at what is in the cardealer, I also noticed that I had that wire frame lines still embedded in the car. I've appearently got some learning to do. This is my first time playing with Skins... I am going out but I will email them to you when I get back tonight.

I am running Windows XP home Edition. I have the "firewall" feature turned on which blocks certain (not sure what) activity. When I first connected to the online server, it kept reloading the maps about every 30 seconds. When I exited GT legends, a Firewall warning window had popped up, telling me GT legends was trying to do something and asking if I wanted to allow it. I just answered "yes" and everything was cool.
You could also go to /Control Panel/ Security Center/Windows Firewall/ Exceptions and add GT lengends there.

Hey Sean, I think that I got it figured out.
I don't know what I changed, but I fixed it. I'll post up screen shots once I figure out how to get the damned mapping lines out of the paint. 
I also need to modify the inside of the car. Do you have the PSD file for the cars insides? I think it was posted up in here somewhere, but I am tired and there are over 400 posts in this thread now....
How did you make the icons and the video for the car factory?
This is good "brush up on photoshop" practice for me, as well as helping me descide what kind of paint scheme I want for my car.

Laggy ? you mean the framerate is too low ? Or the feeling with the wheel ?
The setup of the wheel is very important. I made a lot of tries and found out a setup that gives me a good feeling and precision.
If you have a MOMO, select the momo RACING setup and not the momo FORCE.

It might be your PC setup. I had the same problem when I first started playing and invested in a better video card. Update your video driver. Make sure you have nothing running while playing, email client, etc. Sucks getting an email while playing resulting in frame rate lag, next thing you know your're off the track.
Practice is crucial, learn the tracks. It's frustrating at first, hang in there.
Posted by: johannes Feb 25 2006, 08:34 AM
First rule ! ... Do not expect to drive fast and have fun if your framerate is under 30 F/s !!!
In the game go to video menu set all graphic details to low. Note the framerate in a spécific situation .... ctrl or Shift + F (can't remember)
Then close the game ...
Before launching the game again, lauch the setup utility.
Reduce in game screen resolution to 800 X 600 and remove the AA (anti aliasing )
If you mesure a great improvement in framerate , this means that changing for a faster video card will help.
I had a "SE" video card ... a Radeon 9200 SE ... I had VERY LOW frame rate even with the game graphic details set to low def.
I bought a Radeon 9600 Pro for 90$ and it improved the framerate by 50% ... Still have to set the graphic details to quite low when more than 5 cars are on the track ...
Nice graphics is fun but better have 30 fps and have fun with driving, than nice graphics and a car you can't handle ....

Well, my car is still a work in progress, but here is how it was looking before I descided I needed to go to bed for work tomorrow.
There are a few meddling things that are confusing me. I tried to delete the windshield banner, and paint it as an alpha channel , but that obviously hasnot been done right quite yet - its just grey.
I also tried to delete the filler cap, but for some reason its still in the game model.
And the passinger side head lamp has part of the black bar from the drivers side. Not sure what is going on there...
This is pretty much how I am planning on painting my car once it is ready.

Zach,
after seeing the pic of your skin I can help you a bit.
1. the pass side headlight cover is a mirror image of the driver side...no way to get around it (the sail panels are the same way)
2. Your alpha channel is missing. Make sure you save the window file as a dds type 5 with alpha. The body 2 and windows use dds type 5 as well as the inside banner and one of the interior files I sent you.

I picked up this game at Best Buy yesterday for $19.95. Wow! This is a lot of fun. However, I do really suck. I blew the engine in my Mini the first time out.

Sean,
Have you ever tried to use the Gimp for skins? It doesn't support DDS (I think that is one of the file formats needed) directly but I thought I read that there is a plugin or a combo of programs that works to some degree for providing the DDS format. I don't have a late enough version of PS (I have v4 IIRC).

Tommy,
I think all the tracks are created in 3d software like Max and Lightwave and then imported into software that makes and packages the track files...I know there is info in the GTL forum regarding add-on tracks. It seems to be LOTS of work. But it would be cool to do.
Posted by: blitZ Apr 6 2006, 07:38 PM
Making a track from scratch is a ton of work, could take months. Most of the tracks we are adding have been converted from other racing games.
