https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/rfactor-2-skinning-tutorial.105993/As there is no #28 car in the game i probably should make a simple skin. But i have 0 idea how to do this for rfactor2. Can somebody tell me how please?
No there is seem to be an issue with my game in tottal ... everything i load seem to crash the game (Application Stopped Working) Not an error not nothing , i tried everything (verifing , updates etc.) I can't find the solution yet. plz help!Are you on the latest version of the game and have you made sure that there are no plugins that are causing the issue
How soon into the loading process does the game crash / stop running? I would recommend enabling logging as this may help to diagnose the issue; open the 'Launcher', select the 'Settings' option, enter trace=2 into the 'Command-line Parameters' box for both Single Player & Multi Player (remember to 'Save' each of these), and then load the game. A trace file will be written to your '<rF2_install>\UserData\Log' directory, and may hint at the error; if you need help looking at this file then include it as an attachment. If this still does not highlight any problems then I would suggest that you reinstall the game.
There is the trace file ... i have tried reintalling the game
Right, OK. So just to confirm, does the game crash immediately after you join the server, or after a brief period of time? Do you see the track and car load before the crash? Have you tried joining a different server, and if so do you experience the same problem? Are you trying to load the car with a custom skin? Do you always select the same car when joining the server, or have you tried selecting a different car?
It seems to be working also if i put a "skin_alt.dds" file into the "rFactor2\UserData\player\Settings\USF_2000\USF2000_16" folder. From there it can be changed to car 16 via tuning menu. From there you can also create a new car with new name using the selected skin.
Before reinstalling the game did you remove everything, including the 'UserData' directory? If not then try deleting the '<rF2_install>\UserData\Log\Shaders' folder prior to reloading the game. Also remove the 'CBash' directory, which is also in the 'Log' folder, for good measure. If this does not help then you could potentially try updating your graphics card driver.
ah ok, i've failed when i tried that, but good to know that it is possible
I'm sorry, but i cant seem to find the template for the USF2000 in any folders?
If you are unable to find the livery template for the USF2000 car in the 'Templates' directory (in your rFactor 2 installation folder) then you can download it from here. (The file is attached to the opening post in the thread.)
Ok so i managed to make my skin work offline. But i dont understand how to make it work online?
The process of loading custom liveries is the same in both single player and multiplayer modes; this tutorial, though it may be quite old, is still relevant and should help - the UI might be slightly different, but the process is still the same.
Im so bad at this stuff. I cant even find a way to change my name in the game
You should be able to change your name via the 'Launcher'; click on your name / username in the top right corner of the 'Launcher' window, and from here you can edit both your first name and last name (i.e. the fields with orange text). There is also a video tutorial which demonstrates how to change your in-game name using this method - see here.Im so bad at this stuff. I cant even find a way to change my name in the game
There was an issue with the server yesterday, caused by the rFactor 2 update on Friday night, however it is now running and available for participants to practice and test in preparation for the first race.
