Multi-player skin pack

pedrolicassali · August 25, 2016, 02:19:39 PM

Hey guys, I've made a huge skin pack to run a championship with my friends in Brazil without having to change skins packs every time we want to use some new jersey, helmets, boots and etc. It has almost 100 skins within some of my works but most of then are from Reflex central. I would like to make them public giving the credits to the original authors, release new versions adding new creations and removing the old ones as well. Is there any problem of doing this?

Yes there is. The package will be incredibly difficult to download, and it is very difficult to pack. Rather programa will generate an error. Package of 20 skins for a long time is processed. However, perhaps it depends on the power of the computer ...

I've already done the package. 25 skins per slot and it's working pretty well. Only problem I had was with custom brands so I decided to use the stock brands to solve it. My doubt is about release it to everybody..

As for me personally, I would simply thank you, if you ispolzovali, for example my work) But there are other people who are hard to aftorskomu law and so on. So, the problem may or may not be. In that case, if you download other people's work.

I have to thank you creators for your awesome work. You guys don't let the Reflex community die and I hope you keep this alive. Just want to give my contribution. So if anyone is interested in test this package just let me know and I'll send you a download link.

Hey Pedro,

I think this is a great idea! Been waiting for something like this for a while. Sounds like the tricky part is getting permission from all the skin creators. But hopefully we can work something out

Another angle would be to start a thread where players and skin creators can request one or two favorite skins, you putting them all in one collection based on demand. I'm sure that would motivate anyone to be a part of it and showcase their best work.

(because let's face it we can't create 100 skins on our own... and besides, not being able to see other players in their skin of choice or them seeing yours makes it all kinda pointless right?)

So thanks for making the effort.

Hit me up on steam <kidzorro> I'm happy to help out with this.

Exactly what I was thinking. I would be doing a changelog with what has been removed and added, add the most requested ones and keep it always updated. The main reason I created this is not being able to see another player skin choice as you said so I am counting on you guys to make this public and to help me make it better.

What do you guys think about the name?

Darkslides19 · October 22, 2016, 11:54:13 PM

Sweet name. Also the preview looks dope AF

pedrolicassali · October 30, 2016, 11:18:32 PM

I have made some changes..
Now it has up to 50 gears, 25 helmets and 25 boots

Hey Pedro, hows it going with the skin pack?

If you haven't already, maybe get in touch with JvdL, szalonym1 and Veikkeli. Their steam profiles below.

I also had a look at your skins, and think they look great, hopefully we get those in there too!

About normal mapping the skins, how about sticking to skins with proper normal maps? What are your thoughts on that?
I would bake normal maps for some skins, but as you may know it's quite time consuming. Bit busy with tracks and stadiums at the moment, so can't promise anything.
But hopefully yourself or someone else can, that would be nice

Btw congrats on Limeira SP 2016! That track is legit high grade work!

I would be very thankful to get some help, but I'm very busy running a championship, finishing more tracks and making more skins to put in the pack.

I had figured out how to put helmets, boots and gears together without having skins names messed up. Unfortunately each type of skin have to be in a separated slot and there is also a bug with helmets that I solved creating a brand for each skin.

I'm also wasting some time mapping some 3d models from Reflex it makes skin creation a LOT easier and we don't need to open the game every time to check how skin is looking. Maybe in future we could have weekly or month updates with the best skins, or the most downloaded ones. [emoji4]

I will keep you you guys informed.

pedrolicassali · November 06, 2016, 12:13:18 AM

And thank you for the track review.

pedrolicassali · November 16, 2016, 10:47:40 PM

Yes, it will! I'll try to map as many 3d models as I could to make a nice render for each skin.
