Thanks!!

Quote from D4NO :

Hello guys,

this is great work Lynce! I just have some question and suggestion. Please don´t complain about my English grammar

Question: How does affect changing textures automatic racing path generation done by lfs? I mean that path made by rubber which is automatically generated by the game.

Suggestion: How about make textures with like that ideal racing path more lighter ? I know it should be pain in ass to do it but if it´s lot of work just leave it. It should look better with more contrast with that automatic generated rubber path.

From looking on a screenshots with this revolution pack I´ll call that tarmac texture little bit monotonous cause it triggered in me memories of Collin McRae Rally 2, :P Thats my suggestion

Hope you guys understand my crappy english

Your suggestions is a general suggestion.

The current work, released last week, it's just an unfinished work as I wrote in the first post of this thread.

Sometimes I have troubles to understand some specific words to understand the point of view of the suggestion from the user, so I was thinking that the best suggestion always if go accompanied with real documentation (I do not mean five minutes looking one pic). Always with real references and any time to understand your suggestion.

Remember, my 40% of the time is understand the texture and another 40% is a exhaustive documentation to understand how it works and how it is in real life.

Anyway, thank you for your opinion.

Quote from Whiskey :

racing line gets darker because the rubber on the track. That "rubber" is the tire skid texture, so if you want it to be darker you should edit that file.

It is not posible to edit asphatl textures to have that line, because the same file is used over the whole track.

I don't understand your post, Can you send me a private message?

Thanks as always.

Quote from Speed Senna :

Hi señor Lynce,

Will the complete % be reduced, if LFS S3 gets released?

Greets

Hum....

Hard to understand your question, but very interesting...


If the S3 gets released, I don't know if LFS will be updated in DX9 or DX10 or if the dds files will be jpeg files.

Anyway I really think on the possibility to improve illumination shaders and perhaps dds will be jpeg files (I'm not sure but that is a post read long time ago from the devs).

If I can work with the jpeg files the work would be more easily to do, but I don't understand if some files who work in alpha will continue in dds.

I hope I have answered your question., my friend. Hehehehehe.

Quote from -RitariÄssä- :

I'm not too familiar with skin packs or such in LFS.. So does installing this pack prevent me from joining the normal servers in the LFS lobby?

The graphics look really awesome, good luck with the project!

Thanks!!


And this is the answer:

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

You can normaly race with this pack

In my opinion after some time spent on Fern Bay road should be a bit darker, and grass little more colorfull (not so washed out).
Will final pack include all Fern Bay textures? like lorrys, fences, cones... and everything found on track

I will try it. Thanks to you I know what files works in this track.

Quote from EvgeniySavichev :

Excellent work, very much yet, I look forward to the release

Thank you!

Quote from JazzOn :

You can send them your skins manually...

Oh sweet, thanks. I was actually planning to do so anyways, (as they're new and literally have none), but for some reason hadn't thought it through. :o Good to know about the X & Y/DDS's too. Probably woulda been my next question.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

A...(more specifically, my friends) Oh well, what can you do right.

You can send them your skins manually. They put it in skins/data and it will be converted by LFS into DDS.

They might need to delete the DDS ksins from LFSW. (depends on creation date i think and newer files will be updated automatically)

Low-res will be found in skin_x and hi-res in skin_y (skin_dds is for the local/personal original .jpg skins)

Quote from Tinytacohead :

Thanks man! That blows about roll cages.. IMO it added a touch of realism having that extra detail when one caught a glimpse through a window, (as well as being cool from the driver's seat), oh well. Now that I think about it though, I swear I noticed either a red or orange cage while driving the other night, (which is sorta what prompted me to ask), but I'm not sure which car or with what skin.

Its only the XRR and XFR (I think) that cannot have the roll cage painted any more, still works in the other gtr's.

As for the rear splitter, you are right you can't change it via a skin. It may be possible to change by editing the.dds it uses, but I'm not sure which file it is or if it is shared with other parts of the car/s.

Quote from kitu_gudu :

How did you get this list?

install program procmon
there is some tutorial
I usually add as filter path to my dds folder, then load track and see accessed files in File Summary

List of files accessed when loading Fern Bay + leaving pits in XFG(just ignore XFG textures), maybe will be helpfull for some eventualy forgoten textures

sorry for ugly text format

Hi all again.


RP 2012 Incomplete Addon. 51,85 % Finished: 28/54 files.









It is an uncomplete work, so I will have more time to work on new HD textures(4096 x 4096) for Fern Bay. I read the criticisms and suggestions and I was thinking people are right (Tarmac from wildstyle and some parts of the grass from Bose, TVE and Kitu_gudu).

Remember: I have started from scratch the road, sand, tarmac, grass, hill and rocks in 4096 x 4096. American style for the Tarmac and sand, tropical style for the grass,etc.


All textures will be reworked (for more resolution, style,...), except some files: Arrows, Fence, Flag, buildings and Adback.


Specifications:



Little Bridge and flag._





Rocks, Tarmac, Edge of the grass and grass._





Fence, Curb and white line of the Tarmac._






Sand, dirt part and exterior with grass._





Second curb, second exterior of the rally track, grass, buchs and fence._






Tarmac, grass, Hill and Landscape._






To install:

Unzip on
LFS / data / dds

Where do I can find it?

www.revolution-pack.com

Please, CTRL+F5 into the site.

or those mirrors:

LFS DATABASE by Martin/Flame





Know problems._

It is and unfinished work. I will try to make more definition on almost all textures. As I said on my blog there are unsolved bugs by the specification of the track and how it is made the Fern Bay model in 3D.






The codename "Third Project" is not a site. www.revolution-pack.com is nowadays an incomplete site wich we are going to update from now on. The "Third Project" is much more than that. This is just the begining.

A philosophy. Our dream.

A way of improving our favorite racing simulator.


Hello, once again, to all of you.

Since I am in lfsforum.net, six years ago, I never thought about making profit from my work, but considering some comments I've read of a sponsorship in lfsforum.net, due to changes in my country and because it is not possible for me to improve my PC specifications and internet connection speed, I've opened the option so that you can donate. What it is intended to be used for?

The codename "Third Project" is not a site. www.revolution-pack.com is nowadays an incomplete site wich we are going to update from now on. It's been tested on the latest stable versions of the major browsers (it does not work in IE8 and below). But the "Third Project" is much more than that. This is just the beginning.

A philosophy. Our dream.

Not only improving textures. Sound, graphics using shaders... they may be improved.

Help us to grow, to improve with your donation.

As the Internet speed improves, it also improves time to get information, downloading of textures to work on them and to view high resolution photos to tell us more about how to make an addon as realistic as possible.

As my PC specifications improves, it also improves developing time of working with high resolution files.

All relies on you.

If this ambitious project is sponsored, we pledge to work in the development of many improvements to the LFS.

Quote from EliteAti :

Hi, after connecting to servers which use the FBM i keep getting this message and it keeps repeating very often. What gives?

Look's like you have missing some texture

Here, put it on Data/dds folder

FBMWpolystyrene.dds

Hey gravel, ive done some dds stuff before, ill try this but i have to install the plugin for photoshop because i formatted my pc a while ago

Yello.

What i would like to have someone sharing is yellow headlights dds mod for the XRT (XRG maybe). I don't know much about making dds mods and how hard is it but i believe tinting headlights (parking lights) would be rather easy somehow

There's a picture below, a sketch i made of yellow headlights They would have to be opacite, ofcourse, didn't know how to make them

I hope someone could make this and share it Would be popular :P

What a coincidence to see you posting about Spin tires here! I was looking for info on editing DDS files, and google led me back here.

It's quite easy to mod the trucks by manipulating the XML files, my Kamaz currently has balloon tyres, 6x6 with diffs locked, and rear steering.

Quote :

I heard it's ATi related, but not sure?

I don't know. I use a GeForce GTS 250. Probably, Lynce don't those setting use in "DDS plug-in".

Hi,
I never found any FBM textures, so I tried to do some.

New wheel


New exhaust, vents, ...


No screws on car shape (tried to do some higher resolution screws, but decided its best without any), brake calipers




Textures not made by me, but included in rar:
1. K8_pads.dds made by Spenter in New LX Edition Textures
2. DISCSOLIDALP24.dds don't know autor of this texture

DOWNLOAD 2.2 MB

Hope you will like it

Quote from W3TDR34M :

I'm going to purchase s2 I think it will be worth it.

Definately.

Quote :

No, I cannot use car skins online being a demo user.

Actually, you can. It just has to be uploaded by some S2 user and you must have same name on .jpg file as it's uploaded on or just steal some .dds files from your dds files and copy them to the other dds file folders

But some people doesn't really approve this method.

Quote from edge3147 :

And doing such, would get you punished because it says nudity and offensive skins are NOT allowed.

I would happily risk that for the thought that someone who stole my skin was racing around in a stupid skin while feeling cool!
So you say it's totally okay to use a skin someone else made (even if there would be some line written in the dds telling it is a private skin), but it's not okay to make fun of those "thieves"? Isn't that a tad hippocritical?

greetz

der butz, who has packed his bags in the meantime

I can't get this to work :S
Running 0.6b and 0.6b rim manager.
Installed dds in dds file.
Installed .cems and exe in main folder.

Run as admin on W7.
Everything comes up but nothing changes.
I did try pitting and with shift+P.

The skins_x folder are the .dds files that lfs downloads when other users join so you can see there skin.

You should be saving your .jpg skins in the lfs\data\skins folder, your skins seem correct apart from the ones named XFGTR_skinname.jpg these need to be re-saved as XFG_skinname.jpg.

once you put them in your skins folder open lfs, go to the car selection screen and on the left you will see a list of skin names.

Just below this list is a button labelled "new colours" click that and it will list all your skins including the new ones, click one of the new skin names and then you will be able to select it.

Edit : I have renamed all the skins for you so they should work, .zip attached.

probably you already found this jungle grass texture, but just in case its JA_HILL_t1ATEST.dds

release beta to avoid possible bugs

its in the dds folder, called logoalpha.dds or something like that

Thank's, I'm really bad with dds stuff !

These side walls are made by me . I hope you will like them. btw This is my 1st DDS file edit

I don't think it'll be that big of an ordeal for people that want to run this skin. I'm only on a bottom-of-the-line eMachines laptop and even with like, 200MB+ of mods/enhancements, I'm still hitting 50fps with 3 other programs running. It'll just take LFS a short while longer to load the .DDS (DirectDraw Surface) files (textures) when you select or change track.

Aside from that, the rest will depend on how much you are taxing your PC.

By the way, for those users that are running ENB/Bloom Effects, it really does harm your FPS, so I'd advise running without it unless you want to take some screenshots and/or make videos. It really helps and makes LFS look (and feel - if your PC can handle the load) that much more realistic.
