Custom Tires in SS.NET COT Mod

[eeegolf]

Has anyone been successful in adding custom tires to the SS.NET mod?

I downloaded a set of Michelins From Raceline Central.

The file I downloaded has the three mip files. Their size was 256x128. Since the file had two tires on it, I tried to resize the image to 1024x512. I renamed the three files tire3XXX.mip. Placed them in the COT series folder. When I went into the game, I could see the tires somewhat but they were not lined up on the wheels.

I then corped the images to a single tire and resized it to 512x512. This time I couldn't even see the cards in the Opp Manager and the carset wouldn't load on any track.

I'm new to these mods for NR2k3 as I just moved from N4 late last year (I had to buy the game on Ebay).

Can anyone provide any assistance on these?

Thanks!

i don't believe there is a need in resizing them, just drop them into the folder as is.

Yeah, I tried that too. It didn't work either.

the bullring tires work on the ss.net cars.

BullRing tires are the best out there. :notworthy:

So, no one here has been successful using any other tire with the SS.NET COT mod other than a GoodYear?

I can't believe that.....:err:

It is definitely possible. I should make a tutorial for it once I get WinMip2 working.

BTW eeegolf, sorry I haven't replied to your PM. The tutorial I am going to make should be just what your looking for

The Bullring tires are mapped differently than the default cup tires, that's why they didn't look right. Open up the tire mip I posted here with WinMip and you'll see how they need to be made. http://www.simracingdesign.com/down...nts/3/support-our-troops-goodyear-tires-1856/

David and Doug,

Thanks for the info. Not sure how the heck I did it but I actually got it to work last night.

David, I would still love to see you guys on this. I'm sure there are things that could be done better in the process I did.

Thanks for the help guys!
