DTM MOD 2015 - RELEASED
Posted by rracunis
It would be fair to say that if you have been waiting more than twelve months for a permission go ahead and release. Just be sure to put that fact into the gp4form.txt within the release package. ie: Something something that you have made every reasonable effort to do so etc. etc.

[www.gp4central.com] <----GP4 CentralFor those who were excited with the DTM 2015 MOD I have a good news . Alless84 gave me the permission to convert the amazing cars which he made to RFactor . He was very kind and here , in a public way , my thanks to him. 
What a pity, but real life comes first, thanks for your work.
Hi Riccardo!
I am sorry if I can not help you at the moment or for the late reply to your questions. As, the others said, it is a shame if you give up now. You have really improved your skill in modding and learnt a lot in a short time. You are able to make a great mod and optimizations for GP4. I didn't thought that you would be so fast. It took much more time for me, several years ago, to learn and to be able to do what you manage to do yourself in a few weeks only. GP4 limits are not so easy to handle.
But I understand if you want to concentrate on your real life, family and others priorities.... That's the most important thing.
Just think that you have only started a few weeks ago to create this mod. You have done the biggest work yourself...And because this is not a simple conversion, but also mapping, making new parts, mapping and texturing optimizations for GP4, it is a lot of work for a single person, for sure. And it is more difficult to work with DTM than with F1 because of some parts and GP4 limitations.... So, you didn't start with an easy project to learn with but you manage to make a great conversion and to get a very nice result for your first big project.
Sometimes, it takes several months or over a year to get a full mod.
So, I would advise you to not give up.... Take your time. Make a break if you need it, to come back with a better motivation to continue, later...Sometimes, it is better than spending hours behind your screen, thinking on how to solve a problem or how to get the exact result you want.. The evidence and motivation will come at time.... And, this is not because people don't reply to your thread that they are not interested, as you can see above...
... And thanks for your kind words mate, but you did the job yourself!

Shame to hear that it'll be never see the lights on public, i was following it quietly. But i understand that a mod is not a work for one person when it collides with other things.

i have to agree. Taking some breaks (no matter how much long) helps a lot to find again motivation to continue what you start.

Thanks guys for your support . I'm back on track . But I would like to have your opinion about the door's frame . Let me try to explain :
The Audi e BMW don't have door and rear side windows frame in the original work made by alless84 and the URD team as you can see below :
I have managed to have a frame using another part of the car , using it inside (internal) or outside ( external ) the car .
However , there are bugs in both options . As I'm not an expert in 3D and don't know how to create objects in the zmodeler , the solution I found to have an external frame was use this path in the ZM :modify/submesh/extrude . Doing that , I was able to stretch the frame and fit it in the cockipt ( but having more faces and a not perfect shape ). Even though , I have weird images especially in more distant views .
In the other hand , this doesnt happen if I place the frame internally , but still some problems are there .
Then , basically I would like to hear which is your preference , internal or external placement of the frame ? Also , I have a question and want to hear the opinion of Excalibur , Meteoro , Turbo Lover , drt01 and Rot Teufel who are masters in the GP4 .... Are minor bugs acceptable in a MOD ?
Thanks a lot a in advance , your suggestions and opinions are really most welcome

About the frame texture which looks different regarding the camera zoom, are you using lower lods? If yes, check that the mapping of the frame is not outside the uvmapping square and correctly positionned on the texture.
If not, it could be also because the texture of the frame has got too big carbon stripes. I would suggest you to map your windows frames on a solid black texture. So, your problem would be fixed....
