Rockingham by night.
Readme inside.

Night Edition 2022 for Rockingham.

This edition is almost ready for normal screen settings.
as this is a night edition of a game in daylight, this mod is by far not like most other mods.
you will need to do a little tweaking on your own screen maybe.

INSTALL:
Always install overhaul mods on a second LFS.Exe to prevent your normal LFS from crashing or make errors.

1.
Download a new fresh install from lfs.net or copy your existing install folder (the whole thing) to another location on same hard drive(this makes you not having to unlock it again, spending an unlock).

2.
Install the files from this mod by copying the folder named "data" into your LFS directory(there should already be a folder named that). overwrite all files.

3.
it may take a minute or two for LFS to go through all new files before it start up.
when it does. i suggest you go to options/graphics and turn everything in mip maps to far right ---> .
this levels out many things you see ingame. LOD on full on both sliders. Vsync at 100FPS might also help you out.

4.
LFS Radio, can be turned on in Audio settings.
LFS.RAD is included which plays some ambient sounds while driving at night.
hopefully i set it up for you so you wont have to anything other than turning it on or off in audio settings.
(it will give you a message in chat whenever it plays).

5.
I am not a professional at making these files. but as this mod has sort of followed LFS since very early times,
i asked Trakah123 back in the day if okay i updated it and he said it was okay.

6.
your own screen or monitor settings can help this mod alot by simply turning down brightness and go with lots of contrast if not full contrast.
if you got an energy saver on your screen this setting can darken the image even further.
it needs to be so dark that you can not tell the darkest and lightest tarmac from each other.

7.
NOTE:
this mod is made for specific weathers ingame such as overcast and sunset, to give you the best experience.

this includes :
Rockingham full overhaul of textures.
new colors in menus.
new LFS radio controlled ambience.
New textures.
new shaders (for night).
new sounds.

Hope you like it or will come with some constructive feedback so i can perhaps make it even better than it is now.

the mod is made as if you stand in a corn field at the middle of night far away from city lights. so needs to be really dark.
things that light up will do so if you use, cell lights and contrast instead of brightness. if it gets a bit black and white imaged add more color. well that works on my own screen. your screen might be totally different and have different settings.
modes on screens can be useful here too. perhaps you got a movie mode or sports mode, natural mode. fiddle around with it untill you think it looks like a night out side. markers , traffic lights , lights on cars will light up. some things will light up a bit too and with original files that is really bright. so therefore files are toned down to match the mod.

hope you like it, even this is just a test.
Made by THE WIZARD DK , from original files mostly.

and thats how i got the weird idea of having light beams in LFS.

Teaser from Westhill :

Teaser from Fernbay (AA)

EDIT:
in older lfs versions you could turn haze on/off.
these options in settings are no longer being used in 0.7D.

Welcome To NightMod Made by «øS»ÐRäGK!NG» ©2007/2008 (LFS Version 0.5Y)

1.Graphics -> Put Haze Effect off (in my mod its described as "set to NO")
this will disable the bright grey/white fog that you see at the far end of the map.
2.Graphics -> Track LOD Reduction to NO
this will disable bright view at the far end of the road.

How to use NightMode at its best :

To get the best possible lighting at night.
use the following weather options as described below.

Blackwood =Cloudy Afternoon
South City =Overcast Day
Fern Bay =Overcast Dusk
Autocross =Overcast Afternoon
Kyoto Ring =Cloudy Morning
Westhill =Cloudy Afternoon
Aston =Cloudy Afternoon

Cruise center lines for Kyoto.

These are still in the making and was made from Bobo Pack and CLC Textures.

to install.
1. Download and unpack from winrar file to lfs/data/dds. (Back up old files before you do this in case you like to revert to defaults).
2. Start LFS and go to any Kyoto track to see it.
3. still in the process of aligning and therefore this should be considered a test only.

Good for cruise as it makes 4 lanes (two on each driving side). in some corners the textures bend in impossible ways on this track, but i think these narrow that down too(as best as i can do with how LFS works at this time).

try it. dont like. revert back to your old files.

Experimental puddle test on roads. these are simply a test. which turned out to actually work. however i havent found good places for them so they dont repeat too many times.

but clearly shows its possible to make.

Westhill Bins & Containers.

different colored bins & containers.
in this pack is 2 folders.
one is with the original files in blue.
the other is alternate colored bins & conatiners.

in the alternate folder, you will need to rename the file you want in the game.
you can only use 1 bin and 1 container at the time.

rename to the name you find in original folder, as i wrote colors onto the names.

install.
1 back up your original files or overwite(you can find the original files if you like to revert in the original folder).
2 place it into : LFS/Data/dds.
3 fire up LFS.

thats it.

BacalHau 07

this changes slightly the look on lights, making them more sharp and more colorful.
overall appearing better ingame.
i also made some engine sounds. if using the folder it will change the default to the 6 engine sound.

i couldnt get the indicator lights more yellow in first try. but i think i found which area to make more yellow even though i like the old look.

***UPDATE***
now included a version more yellow. new folder for alternate files.more yellow is placed in dds folder.

install to:
LFS/Mods/Vehicles/BACALHAU~007 in their correct folders.

if only changing a dds it goes to : LFS/Mods/Vehicles/BACALHAU~007/dds

you can alternate place engine sounds in LFS/Data/Engine if you like to try it on some other car.

Hope you too see this as an improvement to the lights. always back up files before changing them.
it is always best to use a copy of LFS for modding. test it here and if you like a mod you can add it to your normal LFS.

hope you like it and have fun with it.

i did not make the brake pads.

Fernbeach mod overhaul.

thread here :

"do Remember Fernbay is the oldest track or one of them in LFS. and it has not yet been updated, so mapping of files is crazy insane to even work with. however i feel i pulled this one off quite okay though considering bad mapping, old files, and weird coloring this track has to mention a few obstacles i went through with this mod".
so i hope it will bring some joy to someone while we all wait for updated graphics of same track.

Nexus Lights.
Off:

On:

NEXUS JXE10~005

i got tired of never being able to see when people brake in the nexus Mod car.

these lights makes it visible. i made some different ones from original, a not so good alternate, and a better LED version.

you can choose to use only one at the time.

i also made some license plates for fun, sharpened calipers to show ingame better.
i also added my own made Momo Steering wheel/Exhaust Tip/and quickly made Radiator/Grill

INTERCEPTOR~005 Lights.

this changes the indicator ,front and rear + reverse lights on interceptor mod car.
i sharpened it up a ton and then i added some more coloring to the indicator lights.
however the original headlight/indicator light file is not very good quality so cant really get it much better than it is now. going to thinking box with it too still.

no changes to police lights.

install to :
Lfs/mods/vehicles/INTERCEPTOR~005/dds

i put my own engine sound in the engine folder.
if copied to lfs/data/engine you can try it ingame.
(it could be working for other cars too)
The Engine sound is based on original but with a different gearshift and lower and deeper. not clipping. in case too low. you can slide the bar on "silencers" as it could theoretically be set to 30 and still not clip.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/srtvu02gqm61yuh/INTERCEPTOR~005.rar?dl=0

Version 2:
More white front or headlights(version 1 is more Blue in coloring). indicator/blink lights are same. Rear lights changed to more bright on front glass and darker on secondary glass. (this enhances the brake light effect in all instances). you can now have lights on & indicate visibly and if needing to brake, that over shines all.

AM PHOENIX~013

Real Camaro Lights.
front is from a 1969.
rears from 1967.

these show light when lights on but brake lights are more profound meaning more visible from normal lights on.

These files changes the lights on Am Phoenix to real Camaro lights front and rear.
also sharpened indicator lights and a tiny bit more yellow.

install to :
LFS/mods/vehicles/AM PHOENIX~013/dds

back up files before you overwrite.

BLACK CAT~005

a little spice up on lights for \mods\vehicles\BLACK CAT~005\dds .

Lambo rearlights and new front light, more yellow ish and sharper.

original countach rear and indicator lights, but manipulated to fit.

gives a bit more coloring and a little bit sharper.

since these lights are not like the IRL one, not exactly sure what to do with indicator(rear) and reverse lights.

they looked way to large compared to the brake lights ,so this is reason i "flattened" them outa bit.

one rear lights is the lights, and two is brake lights.

see screenshots next to this readme.

there is 2 dds folders. one has full front light and the other is sleepy eye.

in engine folder is an engine sound i work on, and currently not so far with it so including version 2.

(you can use this for other cars too if put into lfs/data/engine) its colored for easy finding.

install these dds to :

LFS\mods\vehicles\BLACK CAT~005\dds

(back up old files or folder before overwriting, in case you like to revert to original files).

Hope you enjoy these "custom" quickly made lights.

God Of Rally New Lights.
enhanced existing lights too.
missing lower front lights as those are not really mapped on file.
trying to figure that one out.

also made a skin, its also made in white with colors of castrol.

New dds with yellow hella lower front lights . however they didnt turn out so sharp ingame.
but they are usable and looks better than the one above, to me. (goes to mods dds folder).

XF GTI RALLY 002 interior and exterior,skin,engine sound.

i have been driving with these roads for about a year by now. even though it looks repeating at first, you get used to it in a short time. when you do, you notice the repeating is not annoying to the eye. its is not even repeating it makes,but UNeven and therefore its not annoying to the eyes. like white noise out of sync sort off. (benefits of being a lightjockey too) !

unpack to lfs/mods/vehicle

back up XF GTI RALLY~002 in case you like to revert back.
you can also rename the .org files inside the dds folder which is short for original file.
if more than one file extra it is not called .org, maybe 2 or something. in this folder there is only one of such files .

screenie:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uredvono76w80hj/XF%20GTI%20RALLY~002.rar?dl=0

Westhill daytime roads with gravel and leaves on tarmac.

fits with default files. there is 2 versions made because there is files that repeats itself to both gravel and tarmc(being default grey). so had to compromise with that file and thus this turned out to be the best result. these are not that great for low FOV or maybe not for VR users at all.

go to esc/options/graphics and push all mip map sliders to the farthest right to smoothen out files look ingame.

these are only road files so no screen shot.

back up all files in your lfs/data/dds folder before overwriting in case you like to revert back to original files.

the folder name is because it was sent to lfs devs for inspiration for future releases.
(in case you wondered about the name).

its hard to find suitable texture files in good quality for leaves on roads.
so they are really not that high res in this first attempt.

but i keep experimenting with it.

as such i found out how to actually make water puddles on roads too.

currently working on getting that to look good as the test was on a repeating file so it kinda looks good but bad because i tested on the wrong file..
also tried to make it look more bumpy on gravel roads, however again i used the wrong file or made it a bit too large,so also working on that. (think i found the solution to it too).

getting that fixed over time.

here is the link :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5vm9haln71niew/LFS%20tech%20test.rar?dl=0

P.S.
if you combine these road files with my dust/smoke file above in this thread.

you got a pretty nice looking lfs for rally Wink

Comet Corvette.

(may i add this was not easy to figure out)

Biggrin

Corvette skin. license plate cover on front needs a little more work.
public version. 4096x4096

the mapping is totally different on VetteRC. but i also made them for that (private Mod)

since one is cabrio and have visible sunvisor.
it naturally comes with a corvette sunvisor too Smile

also found some door panels and vents for them however as idk if it stays private im not sure i go that far with this. also some textures for interiors are not there.but maybe comes in the future.

as said above. the mapping on the comet is very different from vetteRC.
so lights needs a little fine tuning before i release. this is test 1 .

as you can see the lights dont have yellw in the fronts however the rear came out pretty much okay. front is a bit too large so i need to figure that out, because it also copy to the side marker. which is the indicator light. a little fine tuning and i think i can release it.

Temporary download : (LFS/Mods/vehicles/Comet/dds)
changes lights front rear sides. however they are not made so good on front. so will redo those.
also stuffed a purpla brake caliper in there for it as corvette launched a purple stock one once.
hence temporary download, if you crave for the rearlights.

https://ufile.io/f/ffp4s

4 engine sounds for comet. lower for headphone use, non clipping or very little. if prevent clipping option in esc/option/Audio(i think lowest or second lowest)is off, it will be brighter more screaming than if its on, then its a bit deeper.

goes to LFS/Data/Engine or you can switch it to default in vehicle folder/engine
