QUESTION Track skin partially not work

jzhang · Thursday at 10:34 AM

Hey! I am trying to make my first track skin, to update advertising of the Yokohama bridge on Nordschleife.

I started with changing the names.dds for those corner indicators, so that I can check the result in game easily. It works well.

Then I changed the advert.dds for the Yokohama bridge using exactly the same method. But the texture didn't change. In CSP log it says "advert.dds FOUND. Overriding".

What could be the problem? Could anyone help me?

Why are you changing texture names? Skins are meant to use modified versions of the existing texture

Hi, thank you for reply! Sorry for confusion.

The names.dds is the texture for corner indicator objects. I used it as a test, so that I only need to drive one corner in game to check if the change takes effect or not.

The advert.dds is the texture for the Yokohama bridge, which is a bit far away from the hotlap starting point. What I really want to do is to modify this.

--- Updated Solution ---
The issue appears due to that I am using the CSP track config for Nordschleife, where they have already replaced the advert.dds to advert_blackaudi.dds.

So I modified the advert_blackaudi.dds and put it in the cm_skins\skin\ folder, which then works!

--- Next problem ---
Now my next problem to solve is the original advertising on the bridge is twice "YOKOHAMA" (horizontally repeat), I now replaced it with twice XIAOMI SU7 Ultra (but both are shrinked). How can I make it once "XIAOMI SU7 Ultra" filling the width of the bridge? Do I must change the UV map of the fbx file?
