I want to do exactly that, on CM "make independent" doesn't work, and on AC the alternate version doesn't appear.Do you mean how to separate the parent car from the "alternate" version?
You can try this: move the parent car folder on your desktop. Open CM, select the alternate version: now cm says "Parent car is missing". Choose the option "make indipendent" (or something like that) ad here you go. I hope it will work for you 😁
This track is great! Good find.
I want to separate the parent car from the alternative version, but with CM it doesn't workIf you're looking to copy a mod/car the easiest way is to just load a car into AC Car Tuner and you can copy the car and it will allow you to have 2 versions of the same car, just call the other a slightly different name. Otherwise you need to re-name files etc. and that can be a pain.
I'm not 100% sure as there are ports from Grid, Shift, Forza and GT and they all have a similar look. But there's Milan, Barcelona, Chicago, Miami, Dubai etc. Most of them are great.
Go into the car's UI and delete the line that says 'parent: ...'I want to do exactly that, on CM "make independent" doesn't work, and on AC the alternate version doesn't appear.
I did a massive summary post a while back:What other tracks that is ported from GRID 1/2? I had two drift tracks as of now.
I always use this. It might not be successful with what you're doing, but I use it to do the same thing with tracks.Is there any way to convert the VRC Prototypes (2000's) .kn5 files to .fbx? To make skins in 3d in Mudbox. Content Manager kn5 converter doesn't work with these cars apparently
No need for all of that.Copy one car folder and rename it, then rename the kn5, the lods.ini and in the sfx folder rename the bank file and any reference to the renamed car in the GUIDs.txt to the new folder name
Oh and rename inside the ui_car.json as well otherwise it won't change the name in content manager
Yeah I've been using this program with all the cars, but with vrc proto just closes and doesnt create anything. I don't know if they are locked or somethingI always use this. It might not be successful with what you're doing, but I use it to do the same thing with tracks.
Just drag it into the car's folder and run the application.
IMPORTANT EDIT: MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP THE CAR'S FOLDER FIRST.

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.www.mediafire.com
Yeah, it really is that quick and simple. I don't know where the myth about having to rename kn5s, LODs and sound banks originally came from... maybe that was all necessary before CM let you swap audio from the doner car. It's much easier now anyway. Give it a go, it takes no time at all.Old git over here stuck in his ways lol. TBH i don't ever duplicate cars any more so haven't needed to do this but i'll try it your way if it comes up as it sounds easier than messing about with all those files and renaming stuff.
I honestly didn't realise it was that simple
The data.acd does. Spent a lot of time wondering why the changes in .ini's weren't having any effect only to find out the data.acd was still in the car folderSomebody please refresh my memory: if both the data.acd file and an unencrypted data folder are in the car's root folder, which takes precedence? I ask because the latest iteration of ACTK's Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2021 (that is, v1.2), above, has both. TIA.
Am I allowed to laugh at all the 'Aussie' stereotyping in this skin? Prawns for the BBQ, Vegemite, Emus and the obligatory kangaroo or two (not to mention beer). All it needs now is Crocodile Dundee's hat and knife and it will be 'f-ing bonza maaaate'.Any Antipodeans like to critique or suggest improvements to the Flunder from Down Under before I send to Velo for inclusion in the pack?

Anybody know if it possible to convert tracks from MotoGP 2021?
There is some nice looking tracks:
Citroën DS 23 by PedroBLR
DL link in video description. (btw, it's not my video, it's the author of the mod)
It was only a matter of time I think. But the real question is - who's gonna make a proper hydropneumatic suspension for this car? Is it even possible in AC to simulate that kind of suspension?Why this wonderful car didn't arrive to AC sooner is beyond me. Until now we only had it in Dirt Rally 2.0.
wait. theres a miami port? where?If you're looking to copy a mod/car the easiest way is to just load a car into AC Car Tuner and you can copy the car and it will allow you to have 2 versions of the same car, just call the other a slightly different name.

Miami Bayside, no? By ACU.wait. theres a miami port? where?
Well it is intended to be very tongue in cheek! But I did include an Indigenous Australian flag and didgeridoos.Am I allowed to laugh at all the 'Aussie' stereotyping in this skin?

But just for the record, these days, Australia is very multicultural. It's not all "yobbos bonking sheilas before sinking a schooie and having a chunder." 🤪

Yeah, when I said 'give it a go' I meant try duplicating a whole car this way.Well swapping sound I do all the time in CM, but not duplicating a whole car.
And your humour is well appreciated Tim! Especially given how little there is to actually laugh about with what's going on in the world right now.Well it is intended to be very tongue in cheek! But I did include an Indigenous Australian flag and didgeridoos.
Under normal circumstances data.acd always takes precedence over the unpacked data file UNLESS you have 'use unpacked data if it exists' ticked in Content Manager> Drive> Single, after which the unpacked data will take precedence.Somebody please refresh my memory: if both the data.acd file and an unencrypted data folder are in the car's root folder, which takes precedence? I ask because the latest iteration of ACTK's Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2021 (that is, v1.2), above, has both. TIA.

Not near my rig atm, but there is a setting in CM that controls whether the data.acd or the data has priority.The data.acd does. Spent a lot of time wondering why the changes in .ini's weren't having any effect only to find out the data.acd was still in the car folder
