Re: GPL - online car skins. How?

Bill Tillman's Turn 1 page has many online carsets http://gpl.ga-sports.com/ Goto the cars section .. it was a bit slow so I couldn't get you the exact page. I use the regular one and it really helps identify drivers in our spec races :-) Jason.

If i remember correctly, there was an "online" car-set released a while back.. the cars had different liveries, stripes etc, and if everyone used the car-set, everyone saw the correct cars.. So in theory, as long as you both copy each others cars graphics onto your own machines, you will see his car and he will see yours..

I'm not exactly sure about this, but I doubt very much that your version of GPL will send all of your skins to everyone else in a race. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone else's machine to know what you've done with the skins on your computer. Kev <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've been playing GPL for a few months now and getting the hang of it. Me and a friend regularly race online together against AI cars and the odd delve into VROC but we'd like to make our cars more recogisable. I downloaded some skins and in replays MY car looks fine in it's new skin but HIS car still looks the same and to HIM MY car looks like an ordinary lotus. Is it possible that he can see my car skin and vice versa? I know about putting the mip files (eg lot4.mip for lotus number 4) into the cars/cars67/lotus directory but even if I cover all number by making files from lot1-lot19 his car still looks like a regular lotus. Any helps appreciated. thanks Kev

Hmmm.. yeah figured that may be the case. Anyway, what about just between the 2 of us that race regularly, still doesn't seem to work for that. Kev Scott Boham wrote:

Kev, on your PC you can alter only the cars on your screen. If you can manage always to race the same start-numbers, you can make a set of car skins, which have to be installed on both PCs. Should work Jens
