Team and Driver Name Changes

[kustom_02]

In my game I've changed the Team and Driver names around to make the game a bit more realistic, and it works. Also, i can change the length of the qualifying sessions, the speed of the opposing drivers on different difficulties, Fuel Consumption (how much fuel is used in x amount of time), time taken to change tires, Tyre wear on different surfaces. If there's anything i haven't listed that you would like me to try, just ask..

Also considering increasing the speed of the Brawn GP team and handling after their performance in the qualifying at Albert Park... anyone agree?
If anyone wants me to change these for them, ill be happy to do that for you.

Upload your save game db and leave it in here or pm me and ill try get it done within the hour or half hour, probably less, depends on what im up to. (and if im awake obviously, will be different as im in Australia and others on the other side of the world) And also if you would like me to change the qualifying sessions, speed, fuel, tires things like that would probley be easier to send a zip. file containing the folder Database, Skin, Languages, Media and Settings along with the save game file you would like changed (found in My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Save)

[stealingsilver]

Is there any chance that you or someone else could upload the DB with changed names?

Cheers in advance

[ravezz]

ravezz' DB:

+ real Team Names
+ real Driver Names
+ McLaren stats a bit decreased, Brawn GP increased
+ Force India is an Indian Team now.

I uploaded it at rapidshare.com, but I won't give you the link until i get the permission by Si.

[Dinosamp]

I'm waiting for the permission!!!!

[Cookie Monster]

Righty, got permission from Si this morning to upload a DB with real names and all.
Just download it to Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Database.

[Dinosamp]

In thi database Brawn run with Force India cars anf Force India run with brawn cars

Brawn GP and Force India are flipped in this database.

Replacing a FI driver will show you the Brawn logo and then put you in a white and yellow car.

[Dinosamp]

Some nationality teams are wrong.

[Dinosamp]

Sorry but where i can found a editor to customize database f1 in WTCC DTM ?

[Sida79]

Perhaps some day there will be a small (fan-made?) editor for changing names, AI performance... I imagine liveries would demand a creative side though :)

I'd certainly lose myself in creating historical seasons for my own enjoyment... hehe

[ravezz]

So, here is my database. Didn't get an answer from Si yet, but if Cookie Monster got the permission, I guess i get it too.

The teams are correct here!

[Cookie Monster]

Yeah, I got permission earlier because I PMed Si last night lol :D

[Cookie Monster]

Google SQLite DB Browser and download it. you can use it to edit the database that is in Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Database

[Dinosamp]

Thanks cookie monster. I would like to create the 1978 season :D

SQlite DB Browser is free?

[Cookie Monster]

Yes it is :)

[Dinosamp]

Sorry but I can not find where to download the software. You can help me?.

Thanks you were kind

[kustom_02]

Thanks for releasing Cookie, was having troubles uploading.

There are my database and real Team logos.

Hope you like it,

Domi

[Shepherd]

Have no idea on how to get real team names and drivers :wall:
Do i have to download/buy the full version?

[Cookie Monster]

No, pretty much following from NSS4, just download NSGP, and then look for a patch in this forum.

Hi, If you don't want the Db and logos don't click here:

[Shepherd]

:wall:I went on that then extracted them to Database, (dno if thats right) but it wouldent allow it and denied it. :wall:

[Nando]

Did you follow the instructions correctly?

[Dinosamp]

I would like to create a database for the WTCC championship with their cars and team logos. Recommended to add the data to original database or to have a part? But then at the beginning of career as you can choose to play with that database?

Nice idea. At present I'm working on a Database for F1 season 2000 and already designed the Jaguar car. :)

[markohladnik]

May I suggest keeping a list of fan-made changes, add-ons, and databases in one place somewhere before it gets too big to wrangle? with the most useful, sought-after things such as the real names one at the top, and with a detailed description of what has been changed or tweaked :)

[Dinosamp]

But if you start a new career as choose whether to play in f1 or WTCC?

[Dinosamp]

I'm doing database for f1 1980. Can I insert into a database for a single car team?

[siread]

Try leaving the driver2 field empty.

[Cookie Monster]

:wall:I went on that then extracted them to Database, (dno if thats right) but it wouldent allow it and denied it. :wall:

Extract it to your desktop and then copy it to the Database folder. It's an UAC problem in Vista that is not allowing you to extract it.

[Shepherd]

I sorted it thanks :dance:

[Olm 2003]

I got bored the other night, so I changed the cars, drivers and teams to those of the 1979 F1 season. Here are some screenshots.

Great work!
I'm sure you could upload it for us?

[siread]

Very nice, Olm. :)

[Dinosamp]

in future versions of the game we can choose to use that league?

[siread]

Sorry, I won't be incorporating patches into the main game. It will be up to you guys to patch it manually. :)

[Shepherd]

Si, I copied the DB and team logos from other patch and tried to replace the new DB with it but it dont work?..

[Olm 2003]

Great work!

Here you go. Make sure to back up any data you overwrite, in case you need it later.

I have creat season 1980
database-Teams-Drivers-Cars

Tell me do you think about.
thanks:)

[Nando]

Si, it would be a good addition non the less. Before starting the game you could choose which database to use (Database and images), it would be a great addition.

[Sida79]

True, but it is not beneficial to the game (not many vintage formula fans), plus, you can always create a simple batch file to do just that!

[Mr Bismarck]

Great stuff there Olm.

In an attempt to make the game as ugly as possible, I'm working on a 2009 car set with revised front and rear wing shapes and some changes to the paintwork.

http://imgur.com/1GC2L.png

Brawn, Ferrari, Toyota, McLaren, BMW, Renault here.

[Shepherd]

2bh i was wondering why Brawn is Yellow and white when there actually Green and white :D

[Mr Bismarck]

http://www.formula1.com/photos/teams_and_drivers/team_profile/main/profile_189.jpg

Livery colours : White, Black, Fluorescent Yellow.

From Brawn GP's own home page, the yellow colour is #E6FF00. Absolute yellow is #FFFF00, so they're about as close to yellow as you can get.

[Shepherd]

Ahh mb thought it was a lighter green more than a yellow :P

[Mr Bismarck]

It looks like it's been coloured with a highlighter pen.

[stealingsilver]

Hi guys.

What are you using to edit all of the stats and names?

Thanks in advance

First: Sorry for this triple post, but I don't want to open a new thread for an announcement only.



I'll introduce now my DTM Mod for Season 2009 with following features:

+ All teams
+ All drivers
+ Complete new designed DTM cars

New tracks aren't planned, maybe they'll follow as an update or something.



Because the driver field is not yet completely determined the mod will take some time for getting completed.

But because I'm not sure if enough people are interested in DTM I'd like to get feedback. Would you like to play this mod or not?

[Cookie Monster]

Probably yeah (I'm always open to modding) but I'd like to see some pics first :)

I'd definitely download this.

[Martin]

I don't know why I can't update with the corrected DB.

I copied it but I still get McFaren's and Farrari's.

Using v1.04 and crappy Vista (LINUX please!)

[Shepherd]

Well same for me, i copied the DB i had from other patch with team logos, names ect and tried to replace the new patch DB with the old 1 but it dosent have any effect still Himilton :wall::wall:

[DeadHead]

Hey,

Are you experiencing the 'wrong database problem' when loading a saved game?

When you load a saved game, the database is loaded from "My Documents\New Star Grand Prix\Save\xxx.db"
(if the save location is not manually altered in engine.ini)

where xxx is the name of the saved game you are loading.

If you start a new game, the database from New Star Grand Prix installation folder will be used instead.


Hope this clears it up a bit!

Cheers,
DeadHead

[Rory426]

Is it really that hard to change McFaren to McLaren yourself?!

[ravezz]

First screenshot of DTM mod, only 3 Audi Teams (Mercedes not designed yet):

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7933/dtmscreen1.jpg

Starting grid here:
1. Alexandre Premat
2. Mattias Ekström
3. Oliver Jarvis
4. Martin Tomczyk
5. Timo Scheider
6. Tom Kristensen



Of course there aren't really much details due to the 2D graphics, but I'm quite optimistic to create a good mod.

PS: Tried to deactivate the other drivers whose cars I didn't create yet - and it worked as you can see in the screenshot. :) (By the way: Only tested in quick race mode)

[Shepherd]

Obv no but seen as the patches are released regulary i dont think redoing it everytime makes sense.. ;)

[ravezz]

Here are 2 new screenshots of my DTM mod:

http://img12.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dtmscreen2.jpg

Because waiting for 2009 season seems to take too much time, I decided to make the 2008 season.

It's almost completed so far, only have to tweak some things on the database.

So watch out for this..

[Mr Bismarck]

I'm very interested in these Graphics, they look really nice. Waiting for release! :dance:

I am now at the point where I've finished the car graphics, changed the db information to show "McLaren" instead of "McFaren" etc, and I'm currently tidying up the car performance stats.

Once I've run some races to make sure the performance changes didn't break anything, I'll release the 09 set.

I'll also be testing a low handling version to see if I can mimic the twitchy style we're seeing from the cars this year with the lower rear-downforce.

However, it's possible that this low downforce db will return the game to the old style where it's impossible to win anywhere other than Australia or Italy, so that might be a concept that just doesn't work.

You don't have to do it every time there's a patch, just every time you start a new career. Given that you can do 10 seasons, I don't start new careers every day! I just change it once at the start, and then change the driver I replaced the next year when he gets a team.

[captinfranko]

I downloaded the DTM mod and it is indeed awesome however I am trying to make an F1 mod for next year based around a few fantasy liveries I came up with but I am having real trouble adding the 11th team that would be either USf1 or prodrive. Ideally I would like there to 12 teams but am having trouble adding the teams and making them work with the other pit lane slots and grid tiles. :wall: Any suggestions anyone? I know I have to edit the tracks and the databse and I can get the cars to appear but they then do really random things on the tracks (Like starting the other side of the fences, or bieng pulled into the pitlane if you add the 11th garage and pit slots.). :doh:

[Rory426]

Ecclestone said recently that unless any of this year's teams pull out there will be 26 cars next year. He has 3 new teams lined up.

[Sida79]

??? This sounds unreal.

[captinfranko]

Yeah I know it sounds awesome thats why I was trying to do abit of a fantasy mod (Or just playing about if you like) and I can add the teams in but the cars then freak out on track and they start behind fences and in the middle of the track, its wierd. I cant figure it out yet.:wall:
