ew.. yeah its dangerous business.. face into glass on edge of desk or similar and these things really are pretty lethal. Im either sitting down with mine of theres a useful railing thing behind my desk which keeps me grounded if standing.

HEHEHE yeah im fine. i didnt actually break anything, just bruised stuff a lot (my ego mainly) im all better now though, so i will be back to playing eat saber and Pavlov..

Also yeah i broke out in an all over body sweat the other day, then my mouth went all watery and i realised i was suffering from my first go of motion sickness.. Pulled the headset up off my head and 2 seconds later i was fine. But for those few seconds things did feel VERY odd..

Eek! The only thing I've broken in VR is a massive sweat! I hope you're alright, Nobby. Take it easy, play some comfort VR games, and you'll be back to throwing your arms and head around in no time

Ouch!

but yeah for VR, esp. a Vive you need a big empty room in best case scenario. The friend of my sister has a 20qm room reserved for it and never is completely alone when playing, just in case he is near a wall or the desk in the corner. get well soon.

So the other day, i nearly broke a few ribs.. I was playing a VR game and of all the stupid things it requires you to lean forward or back to dive or climb. If you lean more than about 10 degrees forward while you cant see whats going on you will fall over.. And thats what happened, only problem is, my desk is only about 1 meter in front of me. I slammed into it blind, but its ok, my ribs took most of the impact

SO i uninstalled the game and asked for a refund. And ive had to stay off VR for a couple of days while my ribs recover (i had a nice bruise up my ribs yesterday)

Oh and one more thing. Atari didnt make TDU2.. Eden games did. Atari was just the copmpany that released it. But they was such a bunch of assholes to Eden games. most of eden games walked out. Towards then end of TDU2's playable lifespan there was just a small handful of people still working there.. Nobody in their right mind would make another game like TDU under atari's name. Not after the fiasco with eden games.

Did a quick test of this.. covered entire texture in green for a cinque to see if it would fill in the gaps..

turns out you can paint the whole thing

without hacks.. just a local texmod swap.

Oh god awesome, I might have to put my F livery into a Cinque, and add the spoiler decal.

I would have to guess that the whole F, Roadster F, and Tricolor are paintable too...

Are these car paintable/stickable from beginning? Can't remember lol..

And about the Bugatti, I can't figure out a way of how it shuold work to use whole-vinyl on them. Because when you load the new texture into the game you have to restart the game to be able to see them, am I wrong? And when you restart the game, the Bugatti won't be stickable again (you need to get into the stickershop and put a sticker on somewhere, you know..)

Cinque is stickable but only the side panels normally..

You put the texture onto a golf...(for example)
it will look messed up.. But when you turn it to bugatti it will fit perfectly (and won't need texmod running..)

very easy solution but also had me thinking for a while heheh!

also..

dont get hopes up for transfer of F livery to cinque just yet.
these unpaintable areas of cars seem to just use a tiny square (if not a single pixel) of colour on the texture to determine the general colour of multiple areas of the car.

I made a simple spectrum of colour texture to place on any car like this to help find out where on the main texture these 'common' colours were placed. (useful for finding hidden things! try it.
You can see on the cinque that the main body, lights, wing etc etc all use the same shade of purple.. so it would be somewhere in the bottom corner of my spectrum texture.

all of this would be much easier to find/work out from within 3Dmax.. but that requires ripping all the models ect from the game and although it's possible/I'm able to do that, I simply dont have any time at the moment. and its more fun this way heheh

Yeah bummer @ that model texturing that way. At least the color is changeable but yeah, bummer sort of.

Well, I applied a (big) sticker on Zonda Cinque, via TexMod, but I encountered a problem. Any idea/s ?

take a look here: [Clickety Click]

probably worth you looking at the whole thread.. but you will see a post from me on that second page with a big 'do not use this template' image.. it explains why you cant really use individual colours on that main body section..

looks nice though AJ to start with

I had a similar idea heheh
