DiRT 4 Impossible to mod DiRT 4?

[Nikkiy9]

well, it looks like codies have changed the files, no way to open the files with EPE as the format is now called NEFS

Patience, young padawan. In the coming weeks some bright spark will likely figure out how they can be opened/unpacked/modified. Are you already wanting to modify the base game on day one?!

 

[Nikkiy9]

Yeah I am wanting to mod it, can't stand the Puma logo on the helmets!! That needs to be removed!!

They sure love making their games difficult to mod.

 

[Nikkiy9]

Oh yes, plus I want to transfer the SG Petch skin to DiRT rally for the league I'm involved with there

 

[Alberto Zanot]

Hello! still no news about a nefs unpacker?

 

[Nikkiy9]

Nothing as of yet, I'm keeping an eye on the usual modders pages to see if they've written anything yet

 

[Jack Hintz]

Trust me, we're all trying
I've got the files extracted but we just dont have a way to pack them back up yet.
First mod is ready to go for when its all figured out though!

 

[Alberto Zanot]

Very good news, thanks.
And the game do not work with the unpacked files themselves?

 

[Nikkiy9]

is it the same layout with reference to when using EPE and skins?

Only asking as I'm wanting to add the WD40 fiesta into DiRT Rally and put the correct names on the car too

No, due to the extraction process still being very primitive it changes all the file names and such. Ive already tried packing it back up but it crashes the game at the moment.

So far, yes once the extracted files are renamed to pssg they work exactly the same as usual.

 

[Nikkiy9]

Fancy sending me the WD40 skin if I send you my email address?

@Jack Hintz
Are the cars, that already appeared in DR, the same in D4? I mean, can I just coipy liveries from DR to D4? Already made some HB liveries in DR - just copy & paste would be simple

 

[Nikkiy9]

No, the liveries have a different layout to DirtRally

Haven't checked many so far, but what I have seen a few are different.

Any updates? Doest it seem possible to mod the Branding Suite Car Patterns? Looking forward to getting my hands on the 3D models and textures. Hope some of you guys will figure it out

Can you please PM me how did you manage to unpack NEFS files? Thanks in advance

I anyone finds a way to unlock the seating positions I would be forever greatful

 

[Matthew Allington]

Interesting quote I found on the r/dirtgame subreddit regarding the patterns...

...so i looked on the game files and every single patterns is custom made for every one of the 55 cars in the game meaning if we were to make a martini pattern for all the cars in the game we would have to make it 55 times which take a lot of work to do.

 

[fakez]

I'll do that for the cars i want to play with. Easy!
