In addition to the license plate (and its textures s_plate and s_plate_alp that we can use for mods), it would be really nice to also have a way to add a number and a name (I suppose max. 3 digits and probably around 15 characters for the name (or whatever number fits the variables I suppose)), with associated textures s_name/s_number and s_name_alp/s_number_alp, so we could display them on mods without having to rely on adding a special spot in the skin template. Not only that, skins do not support alpha, so we cannot put name/number on windows without making the surrounding region opaque.

Since event signups were just recently updated, and we can choose our number when signing up, it would make sense, at some point, that said number actually be used in game (and automatically assigned if you signed up for the event?).

Most frequent use case for racing, if I'm not mistaken: name and/or number displayed on windshield, rear or side windows, and/or on the dashboard.

WHEN: From February 10th to early April, racing on Mondays!
WHERE: All Around the LFS Globe, in lots of challenging rally stages!
WHY: It's going to be exciting and different from the usual LFS racing.
SERVER: World Rally Cup (offline) (will be pass protected during events)




It's time to make Rally great again!

Here comes a brand new championship, brought to you by Race Green Events.

Inspired to WRC, here comes the Race Green's WORLD RALLY CUP

A proper Rally Championship, featuring 13 Special Stages spread all around the globe in 6 spectacular locations, each of them having unique characteristics and challenges!

For example, the tarmac specialists will find their paradise around places like Blackwood, while the hardcore rally drivers will shine in Westhill and Fern Bay!
Between jumps, technical sections in the forests and driving in some of the most unaccesible spots of Live for Speed, it will take great driving skills, reflexes and courage to come out on top!

It will take a complete set of skills to master all terrains and become the first Race Green's World Rally Cup Champion!





You'll need to Sign-Up to take part in the championship!

RACING FORMAT

Rally is a special Motorsport discipline, consisting in challenging Time Trials around different stages.
Every second will count in each stage: you'll have to minimize the mistakes and be consistent through all the Rally event to bring the win home!

Like in WRC, each stage lap-time will be added up to form the Rally classification.
At the end of the Rally (composed of multiple stages), the Top 15 drivers will be awarded with points, forming the overall championship standings!

Some of the rallys will also feature a short Bonus Race at the end of the timed runs: these kind of wheel to wheel races will be an adrenalinic rush after competing against the clock, and will feature precious points for the overall standings.


TIMETABLE (depends on the stage schedule, it can vary)

18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET - Free Practice (60 min)
19:00 UTC / 20:00 CET / 21:00 EET - Stage Time trials
20.00 UTC / 21.00 CET / 22:00 EET - Bonus Race





THE CARS

The 3 cars featured in this first edition of the World Rally Cup will be the
FRAUD UMA 4X4 RX the Fraud OCU WRX and the
AZOO RIS 4X4 developed by ROG_NILLSON

These cars are Rally beasts, capable of 4x4 traction, agile and powerful movements, drivers will thrive at the wheel of these off-road beasts, trying to nail the perfect stage run!

To look good in the race reports and photos and show your personality, creating CUSTOM SKINS is reccomended.

DRIVERS AND TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIP

World Rally Cup will feature a Drivers classification and a Team's classification.
So, every point counts for your team. If you race for one, do your best!



POINTS SYSTEM

Quite simple.
The top 15 drivers of each Rally Event (composed of stages) will obtain points for the overall standings!


1) 25 pts
2) 18
3) 15
4) 12
5) 11
6) 10
7) 9
8) 8
9) 7
10) 6
11) 5
12) 4
13) 3

15) 1


Bonus Race points

Bonus races will award the Top 5 drivers

1) 5 pts
2) 4
3) 3
4) 2
5) 1



SPECIFIC RULES

- Most of the events will feature an "Autocross start".
This means that when you'll join the start gate, you'll see a countdown counter.
When it reaches zero, you can start for your timed run!

- Each driver will be called for their timed run on connection list order during the first stage

- 1 minute of gap between drivers calls.

- From the second stage onwards, the drivers will be called in reverse order based on their laptimes

- In the following championship events, the drivers will always be called on reverse championship order

- Rally is a matter of precision: be careful to not HIT objects around the track to avoid TIME PENALTIES

- Bonus Races will feature a normal grid and traditional racing. Bonus race lenght depends on location, but will always be a short affair (Max 15 minutes)

- There won't be the need for a co-driver are there are plenty of road signals around the course.
Anyway, if you want to have one, there's no limitation on that.

Per the regulations, you are required to run a skin with specified elements. This season, we are requiring the following:

• Car number on the nose of the car, oriented to be read facing the car from the front, and on both rear wing end plates, facing the outsides of the car.
  
• First three initials of the driver's surname must be on the endplates of the top of the roll hoop structure
  

The series logo, the NDR logos, and SBTV logos are provided for your convenience. Get SBTV logos and usage guidelines here.

Please upload your skins to LFS, and add the skin name, everything EXCEPT the file extension to your signup. You can also post your skins here, or screenshots of your car with skin here.

I also had to set up a new account, and it looks like the skins I posted in this thread back in the 2000s are lost to time... or they would be, except for the fact that I found and re-downloaded one as reference material for a skin i was making in Forza 3 (so you know that was agaes ago too), so i actually still have a local copy of that one sitting in my Google drive

It's an Italiya Sport Porsche, loosely based on several Le Mans 962s from the late 80s.

Ive done 3 more skins, Now there are 6 skins in total to select

Baking 2 more skins, during weekend ill do 2 or 3 more

The signup system now has support for skins.

If the administrator includes a field named "Skin" and a racer enters the name of a skin that has been uploaded, the skin is displayed on the signup page. A skin pack zip of all the skins can also be downloaded.

Signups test page: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/22/season/1219/signup/view
Forum thread: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2114364#post2114364

To do list:

-Testing the aero and dirty air (Nerf if required)

-improve interior

-Create more skins

-think and add more chassis confgs (same as the F1 91 confgs)

-Do minor adjusts if needed

Quote from Flame CZE :

Looks good As Degats said, league admins would appreciate having a "Download all skins" feature.

I'll have a look around for examples where Victor has done something similar and see if I can collect and zip up the skins and send them as a single download.

Quote from tankslacno :

Suggestion: ...

I've now added an essay to try to explain the fields below and what they are and what is meant by the Team details.

I've attached an image of the text here. Please let me know if anything is unclear, incomplete or wrong.

Looks good As Degats said, league admins would appreciate having a "Download all skins" feature.

Do you think this does the job for skins?
https://www.lfs.net/leagues/22/season/1219/signup/view

I can easily copy that over to round signups and the signup administration page. I'll also handle team skin (if a 'Skin' field is found in Team details instead of player details, which would be a good idea if all team members are sharing a car).


EDIT: Just fixed it, now it does a download with the correct filename, instead of just presenting an image with the wrong name. If there's a better way to do the http download, do let me know. This is done with a php file specific to this task and it can set whatever http headers are required.

EDIT2: Changed to view the skin in the browser but now with the correct filename in case if you decide to save it.

Anyone got Dodge skins?

One thing that springs to mind is that a number of leagues require high resolution skin submission since LFS doesn't support >1024px yet and/or to verify skins conform to regs before the race.
Being able to upload a skin file or link to an LFSW skin somehow so league admins can easily vet them and download a skin pack zip would be useful.

Otherwise, looks good at first glance 👍

Progress: finished dashboard, added ambient occlusion, optimized glass and chrome materials, textured tailpipes and steering wheel and added a "fancy logo" The graphics is done, now it is time for testing, final physics adjustments and some additional skins. Tested a new method to create headlights using a tweaked chrome material with tweaked normal vectors to prevent excessive dim caused by two glass layers while keeping look of a parabola with environment mapping.

After literally almost a entire year making this pack.

it finally the came.

Ladies and Gentlemen. THE FORMULA 1 2024 FIA FULL SEASON IT'S HERE.

YOU CAN'T USE IT ONLINE. FOR NOW.

Really didn't care for the chrome parts on the trackday-version, so they are now replaced with grey painted parts. I also changed the badging and numberplate for both configurations. The rollcage is now availible in the BMW M-colors with chrome shine and a custom paint color. I kept the "Retro" configuration and only fixed the known bugs. Two of the existing skins were carried over and only one new skin remains to be done before publishing.
I will give my supporters custom access today to get some more feedback.

Here are some new screenshots and the two different configurations next to each other:

I'll try to publish next week after fixing many issues and bugs. Somehow the non-functional brake lights made it through the review process

I also added an exhaust smoke animation and removed more interior paneling. Only things left are a few custom skins. Here are some new screenshots:

Great mod so good!

I make fun skin Nyan is here! U can add skin in mod. There file skin.

I think every downloaded one is from the xf skins section

Which skins in particular?

It was downloaded in skins folder

Are the skins named correctly - e.g. XFG_something.jpg? Or can you tell where you downloaded the skins from so we can verify it?

so ive downloaded a few skins for xrg and xfg. Ive checked if they are in the skins folder, if they are correct written or checked if it jpg and they are 512 i use 512 but still cant use them and cant even find the in the new colours section someone help

A viewer is now built in to LFS, which works with all default vehicles and mods too.

You can save your skin jpg to data\skins and click the "Viewer" button near bottom left of the garage screen after creating "New colours" with the new skin. In viewer mode you will find features similar to the old CMX viewer, including a reload button.
