Let's kick Guybrush out of the 1st 4 races of the season. and Marty the last 4.
Wally and Bachulum should be kicked every second race.

it's only fair.


Is anyone else trying to skin a lotus? sounds freaky..  I'm not having much luck. the template seems to keep a red tinge I can't seem to get rid of.

Not to me Dick,  I have a heram maid that skins my grapes.

I've skinned an Exige, it worked out fine.
Apart from the fact the wire mesh doesn't line up, making a straight line a nightmare.

Room for a SLS AMG on this list?

This one is perfect for you Johnathon.

Elise variants are done. Guybrush's skins though, so he might throw a hissy fit if he has to share..

This one is perfect for you Mr John.

Lot of skin real estate on these. Looking forward to having a SIM drive of one of my RL favorites.. except for the wanky gull doors.
Lets hope it is indeed what they give us this weekend.

Can I reserve Hello Kitty for next season?  I feel I have grown attached, like a protective mother of her child.  A mother that also abuses her child and throws it 20 feet in the air at other children.

Dick, have you figured out how to animate rainbow tyres yet?  Hurry up!

Reserving skins might be up to Mr Wally to decide that. He might throw a gasket having to assign skins too often?

I also think he is on the edge of a major SSD melt down.

 Now, a minutes silence for all unsaved work lost.

I mentioned that I'm not going to be swapping skins around every week. You're right - that will blow up my SSD!
All I have to do server side is name your skin (and car model).


E.g.
MODEL=lotus_scura
SKIN=Forrest


So if you want to use a different skin for a different car each week, all you have to do is always give it the same name e.g. Forrest. That way I don't have to keep juggling who's got what skin this week.


And of course everyone will have to download all your variants.

Wally, I'm away for the next 3 Tuesdays (back for Tuesday Sept 23) so will most likely miss the start of Season 3 - not sure the planned start date however?

ok still need to dumb it down a little...

So let's say Guybrush wants his Hello Kitty skin on any car he drives.
I assume I would need to make as many skins as necessary in the event he is in all different cars. Which is a lot of bloody skins but luckily Guybrushes skin is very much cut and paste. something like birds would take some time to position correctly.

anyway.. so

I'd need to make all of guybrush's skins folders, for any model say:  'Guybrush' and that will assist you Wally?

I'll keep these skins quite simple (won't worry about driver skins) to help keep size down.

Vallelunga?  We haven't had too many races there...I certainly don't remember them!

It's a candidate, but the thing is it only has 22 pit boxes as opposed to the 24 of the other tracks. Magione is also ruled out by only having 18. I'd love to work these tracks in somehow.


The Vallelunga could be a short notice kind of thing if I know I'm only going to get 22 runners one week.

Maybe we need to start another official thread team spam asking for more grid spots on those 2 tracks. After all they have much larger fields at all tracks in some races with 100+ at spa and Nurburgring so surely fitting in 24 at magione and Vallelunga wouldnt be such a stretch.

Im happy to get the Germans on board again, maybe chuck in some Japanese too...

[Bacchulum]

For Guybrush, Dick, just skin the slowest car.
He probably won't get to drive any other.

I've skinned an Aleph Null Exige and the next fastest (I suck in tin-tops ) but both folders are named the same so Wally won't have to change anything.

Probably looking at a couple of fun/trial runs and then kick off the season Sep 16.

Yep, if you just name all his skin folders "Guybrush", the same for each car, under that car's skins folder, that's all I'll need - that they all have the same name. Then for the whole season, his skin will just be "Guybrush", regardless of what car he's in.

[Gratulin]

Don't want to over complicate this but how do other drivers know what car a skin will be for? I realise we can look up the week's list of cars, then work out which folder to copy a particular driver's skin into, then go look for the specific skin for that driver and car combo for the week. Just saying it might get a tad messy?
