(11/05) My Event Generator + GTauto + Shortcuts + Classic Dealerships (Design Concept)

new screen with GT6 menu background, unfortunately I didn't noticed I was working in a low res document so the background looks a little pixelated, the gran turismo icon next to the picture is an example of the logo for the event:

I love and dislike your work @masterrugalm.

I love it as it looks fantastic and, from someone that also does GT UIs, I realise and appreciate the time and effort required to put them together.

On the other hand you are teasing us all with your Event Generator which would add so much to GT.

You get 👍 and 👎!

Keep up the great work. I always like to see what you do next.

Don't hate the player, hate the game :D
thank you very much for your support, you and all the people that likes what I am doing. When I started doing this I was completely clueless with photoshop, and since I needed something to practice with, I decided to do it with GT, I think that GT menus were very special and I have very good memories with GT2, a game that made me fell in love with cars, and I think great part of it's charm was in fact it's menu, which was very unique for those times.
As you said, creating an UI it's really difficult, when I started with this the idea was very simple, but when you think you've finished, something new pops up in your head, and you need to change your design, sometimes some minor changes and other times you need to start from scratch, and since I don't know all the "tricks" of photoshop, it takes me quite some time to do it, and this is the easy part, because what I am doing is just a concept, imagine you need to implement this into the game, as I recall there was just one guy in charge of the coding in GT5: Prologue, it would be too much work for one guy to do something like this plus all the coding that the game needs, and I think this is one of the reasons we got such a simple design for GT6, the other being that with the current UI, the menus are much faster.

A new screen for the event overview, more like GT6:

Searching my old folders I've found some stuff I was working on, this design it's one of my first works, so it doesn't look very good:

QUICK BUY: Instead of selecting a car miniature with X to enter the "buy screen", you buy them by pressing square, this window pops, no cutscenes are displayed after buying the car:

QUICK BUY NISSAN 4 OLD.png

MANUFACTURER HISTORY: Never started with this one, I've just had a background, but I noted the concept ideas for it: the timeline is, well, a timeline :) , it shows the most significant years in the brand history, pressing some of the different years displays the information for that time period, the museum is pretty much like GT5 museum, you can view pictures of the most iconic cars from the selected brand:

I'm not goint to rework the quick buy for now, I would like to know if @Scuderia Paul is interested in reworking it, since I really liked his design and also he's currently working on the dealerships.
After looking back at the manufacturer history screen I am giving it a shot, but I have to do some research about some brand first, do you guys know of a place where I can gather this this info?
 
If ever this became a reality, I am praying it goes beyond the 10-car grid mark; hoping to fill up the entire 16 grid or go further like the Sierra Special Event.
 
I have to say this again, I honestly think this is awesome.

If we keep supporting this thread then hopefully PD in the guises of one of their staff may get the message.

Such eye catching work and the dedication that has gone into producing it, is very highly prized in the Japenese culture.

I don't think I've seen better.

If I get a chance to rework Quick Buy it will probably be another week or so. I am working on an advertisement for the Gran Turismo app now and hope to do the Car Profile screen from my GT7 UI project.

If we could turn off the post-purchase cut-scene of our new car being presented, would there really be a need for Quick Buy as PS4 will have models loaded with zero delay?

I would like to see you do the Manufacturer History screen as it is an unusual piece for a game. Check the company site as more often than not they will have an About Us section.

Keep up the good work @masterrugalm. Always a pleasure to see a new piece.
👍
 
Damn, these look extremely nice and all, but are you just doing all this for the fun of it? Or will the recent talks of modding the game come into play and have this be implemented somehow?

... history screen.

Nice start @masterrugalm. I am interested in the History screen as it such rare game element so keep it going.
👍

I started a Maserati timeline for Maserati Project which is what I am also doing now - Takes a car from the past, present and future and details it's significance in Maserati's history.

If I get it to a presentable level I will throw it in.

Hi everyone, this past couple of months I've been doing a design for the UI of the event generator, a tool that let us create our own custom races, I decided to work on this thanks to a post by @research, a question about if we are going to get an event generator in the future is posted on the Kazunori Yamauchi Q/A thread so please support it!
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...gle-event-championship-creator-in-gt6.309331/
​
The image I used for the event is a photomode picture taken by GTPlanet user @The R!CE Guy
I am not that good with english so excuse me if in some parts I don't make much sense.

CAR GRID
​
This one is a little old so there are some minor differences with the final design, the options displayed here are the Car Selection, Paint / Body Kit, Max Power, Max Speed, Weight, Front Tires, Rear Tires, Drivetrain and Aspiration, this last two settings cannot be edited, and are only used as a reference.
Shortcuts: Press / Hold square on any of the mentioned options to delete (Car Selection) or reset settings to default:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​
The following options are available on the Car Selection screen. Some of this settings are also available in the Course Selection screen.

Choose from: select cars from your Garage or Arcade Mode, cars bought on GT Mode are unlocked on Arcade Mode.

Selection method: build a grid of different cars or create a One-Make event.

General settings: set the rules and gameplay settings for your event, when this option is highlighted detailed info of the current settings is displayed on the upper left of the screen:



Calculate prize money: set you car max power and calculate the prize money awarded for each race based on the following system: total average of all participating cars horsepower, total distance traveled on the race and difficulty. When this option is highlighted a resume is displayed on the upper left of the screen showing the prize money awarded and/or championship bonus for finishing in 1st place on all races.

Save: change the name, description and picture of the event. When this option is highlighted detailed info of the event is displayed on the upper left of the screen:




Load: choose and edit a previously created event.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT ​

This option is only available in the Car Selection screen.

Duplicate: create a duplicate of a car and its specifications:



Copy: preset a variety of specifications and copy them into one or multiple cars:


Change Order: change / switch places between spots:​

*UPDATE (suggested by user @Quakebass) Randomizer: generate a grid of random cars, you can also set a minimum/maximum horsepower/weight.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COURSE SELECTION

View attachment 188199

*UPDATE Race Type: Single Race, Championship and Endurance (select between laps, time or distance)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*UPDATE AVATAR SELECTION
​
Access this screen by pressing L1, change the name for your driver, country, etc. do it manually or simply use the randomizer, the avatar is displayed next to the car miniature shown in the car selection screen so you can match the car color with the driving suit and vice versa. I think this feature it's a must have thanks to the next suggestion:

(Suggested by user @poumpoum) AI Level: adjust the difficulty level for each driver.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CUSTOM THEMES
​
You could also change the theme displayed for the event generator, here are some examples.

OLD GENERATION WHITE UI
​

Isamu Ohira - Light Velocity Ver. II

View attachment 188195


OLD GENERATION DARK UI

Isamu Ohira - From the East (in game ver.)

View attachment 188194

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*UPDATE SUGGESTIONS

Here I'll put any idea you guys have on how to improve the generator, since I don't have screens for everything I decided to put these here, everyone is welcome to post!
​
Upload events online by @Boxout. quote: They could even add up a feature to let us upload our events online, and then a place were anyone could browse and download events from other players, and play them/rate them.
Then every other week, or month if PD is busy, they can check out the most rated games, or the most played over the time, and make these events official in the game. Something similar to what GTA 5 does to user created jobs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*UPDATE CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM EVENTS
​
here are some new screens that I will explain on another update, for now I'll leave the headlines to create your own events, I used Photoshop CS4 to create this, you can find a link to download the .psd files at the end of the post, there is also an alternative if you don't know how to use photoshop, so please read the points marked in BLUE.

​
*If you don't know how to use photoshop or want to make things easier, simply post a background image and a song. Use as many songs as you like, but try to post the links as shown above.
*If you do use photoshop, I recommend applying a Gaussian Blur to the parts of the background that are behind the windows, turn off whatever you don't want to use (paint chips, for example.)
*Create custome logos for your events if you want.
*Course Selection and Car display are optional, take more dramatic shots of your cars if you want (the miniatures have a resolution of 493X275.)

Seeing these race menus reminded me of this



Mate, your menus are clean and polished I say :bowdown:
 
Your work is amazing, you have a lot of imagination and clearly IMO you can do a lot better than PD.
This is ART !

Game modding is just for creating hybrids, cheating money and such things so far. To me it's 100% useless
