Edit sponsored branding texture in tracks

lblackdragonl

Hello Guys

I'm trying to edit the sponsored ads on rfactor tracks, so i can change example:

Instead of Mobil 1 on an ad , says another brand

What can i do to do this, using 3d max or other software, replacing the texture of the ad with another or something

Thanks
 
Hi,

I've only done this once but with great succes! :p
I hope i remember the steps.

You need to open your _maps.mas
with 3DSimEDv217
or MAS-Explorer_V0212
(just google them)

Extract all files from _maps.mas in a seperate folder and you see a big list of dds files.
find the corresponding billboards etc. and change it to your liking in photoshop, Gimp or otherwise.
For photoshop you need the plugin: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

Once you are happy with it you take mas-explorer or 3dsimed and you re-pack the _maps.mas (include all files, not just the ones you changed)

I suggest backing up the original mas file before you replace it and if you are as slow in understanding how this works as i was, backup every new mas file just incase one of them has a mistake, that way you can easily go back to the last updated one.

fwiw, mas-explorer did not work proporly for me, i could extract but no re-pack. 3dsimed worked much better.
Or maybe your 3Dmax can also do this? i have no experience with that program.

Good luck :)
 
With this being rfactor1, you can leave the original mas file untouched and just drop the loose graphics files into the same folder as to where the mas files are.
No mismatches online doing it that way.
Had some fun trying it out 3 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QENwlKTiQ1Y
