Preparation for 1973 season of Wookey Story

I want to try, but I have no idea how to find the name of the textures that appears white, instead of metallic as they were in the original model. I imagine it should be BT40_CHROME.BMP, but something goes wrong. Maybe it is another name, or the 3d file points to another name?

In the original car it was bt40_chrome.dds
In rFactor any DDS file would be used in preference to BMP file, maybe thats what is happening.

OK, so there is an adequate bt40_chrome.bmp in the team.MAS file. But it does not show. Maybe the appropriate files.MTS textures lines still point towards bt40_chrome.DDS instead of bt40_chrome.BMP ?

The file has been converted to bitmap format, because F1Challenge does not recognize the dds format.
The name is the same "bt40_chrome.bmp", only a shader map has been added to give the chrome shine...
Maybe if I take it off it darkens...

edit: however tonight I can easily darken it too

this is the car without the shader maps

the metal parts as you can see are opaque..

And again it CTD

So Philippe, I'll completely redo the team.mas file, with a new folder ...
That way you'll exclude 1973 wookey's old cars and let's see if we fix this hateful problem

back to the subject of white, these are the mappings used:


shader map


skin map

Philippe, I tried, tried and tried again the new "1973PNB" (in test and in the race, with replay too), but no ctd, as for the first version (PNB73) ..
I shared the new car with you, but if you still have ctd problems, you will need to make it public to see if others have the same problem as you...

Problem solved thanls to your efforts !
Tested for good, without any new problems, and the white metal parts have reverted to good old aluminium color !
All in one !
Thanks a lot

Hey friends ! Now That my 1973 dream has come true, I think it is time for sendin just a message to remind everyone where we are, and ask for some new collaborations, in addition to Luigi's fantastic work.

The cars I need to start playing 1973

Scuderia Centro Sud
41 Luigi Mennella Scuderia Centro Sud P05 (as he wants)
42 Riccardo PRIORI Scuderia Centro Sud P05 (sponsors : Banco di Roma and Pecorino del Lazio DOP + personal sponsor from Marlboro Italia )
43 Nathy Mennella-Wehbe Scuderia Centro Sud P05 (like Luigi +  « Visita il Libano” ) Filter = 73M, 73T
43 (special italian guest) Filter = 73R

Looks in good way but still not on my computer.

63 (French guests) Wookey-Vulkan PNB73 (Red : sponsors only Wookey and Vulkan) Filter = 73H, 73P, 73R, 73S

Works Wonderfully now

The cars I'll need later, during the season :
(those teams will debut with 1972 cars until before Spanish GP)

Vaillante
32 Michel Vaillant Vaillante flat12 (low engine like Ferrari's) 731 (main Blue and White)
33 Steve Warson Vaillante flat12 731 (main White and Blue)
34 (Guests)  Vaillante flat12 731 (Blue=White in same proportions) Filter = 73H, 73P, 73Q, 73R, 73S, 73T

Really no necessity. To do only if you find pleasure in it. Any car designer may apply.

Lola

45 Chris Lewis Madom Lola-BRM T193

The present cars can race until Spain (included) They they'll need an evolution of current model with side structures to be defined to fulfill new 1973 technical rules. Or be totally changed for another car. Feedback and ideas from the 2 pilots appreciated.

Arno
46 Hans Hulsebos Arno Delta02-BRM

The present car could be used all the season. But it would be a pity not to use the "Delta car" already began by Luigi. Anyway, this will be when you, Luigi, will have the will to do so as the 1972 Arno is already OK for 1973 rules. You got all your time.

Others who would join will have to send their own ready-made cars. Or accept a one-race drive, I will provide with existing cars.
