HRMStealth Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just tried that a couple of minutes ago, it repacks it but does come up with an error at the end of the packing process saying the file was bigger (mine was by 4 whole bytes!).I managed to load the game up, select the car and livery, but crashes on loading the stage with an error report etc... No luck at the minute for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDegani Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 im still going to do this livery as requested for a while already. but im not going to start before we find a way to repack the files, yes there are xml files in the nefs but i dont know if they are for the in car games probably they are but we still cant repackage them on the nefs so it doesn't matter much, IMO making mods with the unpacked files without being able to repackage them is a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDegani Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 i was looking at the cars files again, looking on the landrush trucks, looks like there are only 2 slots that we could make custom liveries the rest apparently use the branding suite, so i dont know if we could for an example have a full field of realistic liveries, modding its looking more and more difficult the more i look in to the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldBeThere Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 @KickUp "No way to fix it."http://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4304This doesn't look promising. Any chance for some help on this? I know it was a grey area for Dirt Rally in terms of modding, that you didn't want to promote it I presume for licensing reasons, but also didn't want to discourage people who spend their time creating the artwork. Is it a case of actively helping the community breaches your licence agreements, whereas just turning a blind eye if we're successful isn't?

versedi Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Not really a mod but an addon.I've got bored at work so I've started writing yet another dashboard app. Planning to release on GNU licensing for PC and Android. Inspired by commercial product (http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/road.cfm) and WRC+ telemetry window. First iteration with the simplest template.I'm having hard time thinking how to do the templating system on CSS and HTML or XML so it would be easy for anyone to make his own style.
