2. Step: Extract from rF2 mas/rfcmp file
- You need the QuickBMS generic files extractor and reimporter program. Find it with Google!
- Download the rFactor2.bms script file from Luigi's site.
- Unzip the quickbms somewhere, then run rFactor2.bms script (maybe you need to set quickbms to the default app to run .bms files)
- Choose the *.mas file
- Then choose an empty folder
- And you get all the files from the *.mas archive. So you get the .dds textures, you can use it in AC.
Step 3 (optional): Making the FRECA skins available in AC
Yesterday I was too lazy to make 30 new folder, copy and rename all texures, make preview picture (it is easy with CM), and wrote all the infos in the .json file. So I wrote a mini Java program to made this automatic.
This program copy the files (texture, preview, livery) in the correct folder, with the correct name. And this will get the infos from the rf2 *.veh files and create the ui.json files for AC. (The only missing info the nationality of the drivers, because the .veh files does not contains it, but you can fill it with CM)
Download this mini Java program here:
mega.nz
(It was written in Java 8, so maybe you need JRE 1.8, but I hope it will be working with newer versions)
- Copy the atnevez.jar file into the folder where you extracted the .dds, .png and .veh files.
- Double click on the .jar, and it will create the 30 folder with the skins.
- Move this 30 folder into ks_formula_3/skins folder
-In CM skin selector you can use random skin filter "FRECA_2021" to make sure, that only these skins appears on the grid, the W series skins not.
And you can enjoy the races!
