are you bored of playing gtr2? + suggestion of mod UI intro

[cangrejin]

Who in their right mind can be bored of GTR2? !!!!!
Get out of my sight!!!!



Mod suggestion:
If someone likes, can or wants, I leave this idea here ... I do not ask that it be done.
The other day I watched this video:

I don't know ... but it made me want to drive GTLM, with rain, at night at 300 laps ... and just to watch the video!
The suggestion was to make an intro video for gtr2, again. and also of the loading image of gt2 before the menu. I saw one somewhere, and although it was a simple idea, it left gtr2 quite "new."

I don't know about editing video or photography ... I just leave it as a subject. They don't have to answer.
thanks.

Any game becomes boring with time...but I endlessly come back to GTR2 years after years since 2006 ​

Base game might be boring after a while but its force are MODS : community brings new mods each year...ok less and less nowadays because most modders are focused on AC...​

I actually thought this was a good idea, especially since I have several installations of GTR2 (ALMS, IMSA WeatherTech, WEC, etc.) and thought it would be cool to have a different game intro movie for each respective series showing the cars from each series. I was hoping it was going be as simple as converting an mp4 or .avi video to a .bik video and renaming it GameIntro in the MoviesFile folder, but, alas, it was not. It caused a CTD, so I imagine the original game intro video is hard coded or something making it impossible to import a different video clip into the game. If anyone with more technical knowledge has any tips as to how this might actually be accomplished, would love to hear it

Hasn't more to do with that pretty much everything is already converted or done as a mod?
Now I am very happy with the available mods and have a lot of joy trying out mods
I do wish we could get the race 07 driver models to work in Gtr2 as I am now nearly exclusive in VR and the driver and driver arms animation gets very important.

studios, modders and painters do too many versions these days

rFactor2 is a nightmare remaking rfmods basically every day

You never had this problem with old gmotor most of the stuff was v1.0, if not versions were spread out over years not every week

Yeah I am so pleased how easy it is to fix some problems in GTR2 is compared to rF2. .rfcmp/.rfmod is a great idea, but tooling needs to improve a lot before it is convenient.

I think the reasons people are moving to AC are more modern graphics and better netcode. But who knows, maybe we'll see more mods happening in GTR2 in the upcoming years? Although truth to be said I personally only miss Karts/Superkarts and Kart tracks in GTR2. And, then optimization on some of the existing content, as especially VR needs well optimized content to render fast enough.

Just wondering if anyone else has tried to import a different Intro video to replace the original in GTR2? I've seen a couple posts at a different site that asked about converting a video to .bik format, but so far nothing as to whether it actually worked

Gtr233 HQ mod got another intro the one from race 07 I believe. Several large mods got special intro video.
There was a mp4 to bik converter tool on nogrip but forgot the name as i tend to replace the video with zero length videos to avoid them all together
