I was wondering how do I make custom helmets for a CSM mod. I want my custom helmet so i can do a full 2005 season.
Thanks

Download a helmet template first, paint it in tga format. Then convert the files to tex format. To check the size, export an existing helmet to tga and verify the size. Use the correct naming conventions when saving the files. eg: iceman007_1 & iceman007_2
In the mod, create a helmets folder existing mod/Data/Helmets/ then create a folder for each driver as named in the mod. In the root of the Helmets folder, create a config.ini, listing the drivers, eg: (first line only shown)

[Main]
Format =

[Config]

SkipBuild =

Dir1 =iceman007\%res%

If you cannot paint the helmet yourself, you can always ask as there are some talented helmet painters in the forum ok. :-)

I got a message from Zaz (he can't log in right now). He says use the 'custom profile' feature of csm. that does exactly what you want and no need to fiddle with the mod itself ok.

A bitmap must be converted to tga before you can convert it to tex using Slimtex, which is part of Zaz Tools. Programs like Photoshop can convert a bmp to tga.

Ok thanks. I got it. Made a simple helmet. I am going to spend more time to make a better helmet but is there a program I can use to my helmet in 3-d so i can make adjustments to the design rather than converting then looking in the game.
