Requirements:
1) Download these tools: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/motogp-18-modding-tools.153829/#post-2765300
2) You need Unreal Engine Editor.
3) Also make sure you have Python 2.7 installed.
Video tutorial (How to edit skins):
Text tutorial (skins):
In the tutorial we'll modify a bike skin, but once you know the method you can try with something else.
Section 1: Export
Section 2: Import back in game
Part 1: Prepare your modded textures.
Basically we need to convert our modded .tga texture to .uasset.
- Launch Unreal Engine editor. Select Blank Project, name it "MotoGP18". Click on Create Project.
- Delete the Starter Content.
- Drag your modded texture where the starter content was.
- Click on File->Save all. This way you will not need to create a new project next time.
- Click on File->Cook content for windows. Wait till it finishes. You can close Unreal Engine now!
Part 2: Repack.
Go into "Import in game" folder. There you will see a folder called "motogp18". Inside it, you need to create the same Directory where you extracted the file from in Umodel:
motogp18\Content\assets\graphics\vehicles\bikes\bike009\textures
Create the missing folders.
- Go to Documents\Unreal Projects\MotoGP18\Saved\Cooked\WindowsNoEditor\MotoGP18\Content
here you will wind the files UnrealEngine cooked for you. You should have 3 files. Copy ALL of them into
motogp18\Content\assets\graphics\vehicles\bikes\bike009\textures.
We're almost done!
- Go back into the root of folder "Import in game". Hold down CTRL+Shift and right click->Select "Open command window here". Copy paste this:
u4pak.py pack pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor_X.pak motogp18
Once it's done (it's quick), you will have a file called "pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor_X.pak". Replace the X with something else, like "pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor_MyMod.pak"
Copy the pak file you created and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MotoGP™18\motogp18\Content\Paks
or wherever you have installed the game. Make sure you copy it where all the other pak files are.
You're done! Check your mod in game.

Section 1: Export
-Launch Umodel.exe (It's in the modding tools)
-Insert the path to MotoGP18 or navigate to it (Normally it is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MotoGP™18 or wherever you have installed it).
Select "PC" in the Platform setting and then hit OK.
-You'll know have a windows with all the directories of the game. Navigate to: motogp18\Content\assets\graphics\vehicles\bikes\bike009'
You'll see a folder for each element of the bike (3D mesh, animation, textures..)
Click on skeletal_meshes and then on bike009.uasset. You'll see a 3D preview of the object.
If you click on "Tools->Export current object" Umodel will export everything related to the object, but we only need the bike texture.
- Press "O" to exit the 3D preview. Click on "textures" and find the bike livery (it's "livery009_d.uasset". Click on "Tools->Export".
-Umodel will automatically create a folder called "UmodelExport" located where Umodel.exe is.
You can now find the texture (.tga format) and edit it!
