Small update to the Suproza post found here :
https://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthr...#pid293712

Corrected the rear lights as it now has 3rd brake light working.

(working to find the exact spot for that still although im homing in on the file and where on it to use for the third brake light which means when found and made i might do an update again to this crazy delightful fast car



in this round it also got an interior overhaul which is now matching the outside Paul walker orange colors.

it says TRD on top and toyota motersports in the bottom (in case it is hard to read in the image).



heres a view from the passenger seat to better see the radio also in oragne and with TRD logo in race yellow/green ish.



Files Download. included is this readme :
https://ufile.io/orjwtipl

These files changes the over all look of the suproza mod car.

goes to LFS/mods/vehicles/Toyate Suproza/dds

inside is 2 folders.

1 is alternate headlights made from devils eyes lights from a subaru.

however it did not come out as good as first anticipated so i tried with some different looks. this is that test file, which somebody might find useful. (its not needed if you like the original lights on the front. you find those along with the rest of the files in folder 2.

it have toyota motorsports written in lower dashboard in drivers side. and TRD on top.
radio now have TRD logo in racey yellow.and radio is same type of orange as the dashboard matching the outside colors of the late paul walker skin that comes with this mod.

Alternate headlights file, how it looks ingame:


remember to back up all files before overwriting, in case you like to revert back to the default.

Coquette Mod Car.

Attempting to make corvette third brake light. located area. now trying to get it aligned proper.

however this 3rd brakelight is also used by the main brake lights.

and that makes it a compromise to even make .

as you can see it will also write this in main brake lights, but on one side it will write mirrored.

would be far better if using the dds as on comet or vetteRC/Drift.

so here it status on how it looks so far.
will try to reduce visibility in main lights. but not sure i can do so .



a second attempt, also tried to reduce the lightning inside the main lights but still having the corvette texts in 3rd brake light.

i dont think i can make it much better than this, using the same file.



heres the test file in case someone like to try it.
https://ufile.io/i293eswe

this can also be used for the tuned version.

[THE WIZARD DK]

if you like me think westhill billboards are too bright white.

heres a little alternative to use.
this was made for westhill night edition this morning og which i finally seem to have figured out how to make the sky files from lower resolution to something actually useful in higher resolution.

ill be back soon regarding that.

here is the adverts for billboards on westhill but with black background instead of white.(you can use only one at the time)

LFS/DATA/PIC

older version :

newer version (currently default made with balck background)


2 png templates in case you like to make your own. the difference is the bmw logo changed with a bmw safety car instead.





i spoke to flame cze about using his website photoshopped images for billboards.
those i will try to make too.

new skies for westhill.
made these last night.
i always thought skies were way too bright on new westhill.

these compensate for that and they dont even look bad ingame as i found a solution to engage low resolution with higher resolution. whatever that meant.

image of files (these are just to show on forums)

Cloudy:


Semisun(daylight)

current look of westhill night edition:

back straight bridge area:cloudy:


main straight:cloudy:


wst semisun.
this was made by sti228b originally. but was in much lower resolution . but its still not perfect as seen in the moon light.


this and some buildings far away are still too bright and i need to make some edits for some stuff too.
maybe i can do this faster than devs. at least going to try.

note:
discovered by this image i may have to redo my mirrors too

[THE WIZARD DK]

Oil slick test 2. this is a bit over sized, but test is to see how it fits in to the ground.
obviously a little too bright and excessive, but its a test.

made some different ones. its getting closer at least.

---

Experimental sky.
made from 4 files on top of eachother.

i was thinking that could only look bad.
a little too bright maybe

but it looks like i was wrong on that one.

seems theres some servers going down.

so heres a teaser from blackwood by night




i think im gonna change the road files on blackwood, then it should be all done.
westhill needs a little editting too , but the that could also be released.

rockingham already here in this thread. (test track).
and it looks like fernbay and southcity is pretty much done too.
so now missing some stuff on aston , kyoto, and new LA square.

and since i havent really checked it yet. i suppose alot of the adverts you see on tracks could be made different or new too.
so in a short time that goes priority one, with this night edition.
some was poorly made or too many repeating on many tracks due to me being lazy to do them all some years back in time.

Westhill Night Edition.

this is NOT the graphics update.

but a user based texture mod that makes you feel like LFS is night time.

tested with standard screen settings and got the okay.

Readme(to be found inside rar folder):
LFS Night Edition WEsthill:

to install:
copy your entire lfs folder including car mods. the whole thing.

when you have copied to same harddrive to avoid having to unlock lfs again.
unpack with 7zip or winrar or likewise.
copy the folders in the data folder to your lfs/data folder.

overwrite everything.

start up lfs after.

goto ESC/options/graphics and turn all mip map sliders to far right (this smothens image)

go to a multiplayer track with westhill or go to single player mode westhill.

have fun.

*NOTE*
i may have forgotten some shared files.
if you notice anything missing, let me know, or it will be updated in the full all tracks pack.

for now.

enjoy westhill Night Edition 2022.

THE WIZARD DK

side notes:
most files are made from original files, except some road files & extras like markers and other things.
feedback makes it easier to know what to change.
so please do.

here is a replay you can watch of my not very good driving while lagspikes. however it does show you how the track looks in almost any place:
https://ufile.io/8d83qfk4

PS:
if you like it darker you may use a setting like sport or movie on the screen. or you can turn down brightness. contrast is used as substitute for missing light sources and is best seen with standard or above settings.

if you are using the rockingham track for night edition too. that is best to copy that first.
you find that here.
https://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthr...#pid291732
after you copy that into your lfs. copy the files from this post.
even my brightest settings with sun into the screen. it still feels like driving at night to me.
i likewise tried my darkest settings. which turned out to be so dark its impossible to do rally through forest areas.
so adjust your brightness to your likings. or use your graphic card settings to do so. for this .exe only if possible.

EDIT:
if you like to fast test it online. you can go to server name :
S2 Magic Circle
in LFS serverlist.
on the server is a rally style layout where you also get to see most objects .
and various places on the track itself. its the 37 kilometer version. V2.

Avon Bridge Blackwood.





same images on another site since the first seems to have some issues lately:




used to be black.
now default is white.
so made a black from a former default.

DL (LFS/data/pic)
https://ufile.io/f/s7904

it was requested on LFS forums some time ago.

[THE WIZARD DK]

Aston night edition seems to be ready to release after i edit a file or two.

however this track shares files with KY / FE / SO too and havent checked how they look yet .

EDIT:
south city is okay, however kyoto was a mess. so need to get that fixed

[THE WIZARD DK]

another westhill texture mod.
daytime





Full map :
this is not released because the trees are really bad and the grass experiment with flowers didnt turn out as planned.
however. the experiment taught me how to do it so i can make it look better(maybe). looking into that in time.

[THE WIZARD DK]

another caravan.

lots of stickers and more grey tone.
changed.
well everything really.
might fit with night edition since thats what it says with the LFS logo.
logos are avon,michelin,castrol,sim broadcast,3id,Knaus,LFS
i even threw some voltage on it.
Changed wheels/windows.
also added some fenders from a nascar kit for a more racey feel.

its not very good. but perhaps better than the hippie caravan above for night.

https://ufile.io/w83xysj6

the caravan is mostly seen from a distance unless you go oob. so it doesnt really need to be super sharp.

[THE WIZARD DK]

some engine sounds.
for normal and mod cars.
should not clip.
adapted to my ambient sounds and for headphone use.
these engines are lower and deeper and gives a woosch feel when passing by a tv cam.

they can be used on any car.
if you like a specific one for a mod car. goto lfs/mods/vehicles folder and find the mods folder.
inside the folder should be another folder named engine.(if not you have to manually change it in shift+a)
in the engine folder you will find a deafult engine sound. make a copy of that to keep. just copy and paste inside the folder. then delete the original but keep the copy(maybe with - Copy in the end) then you rename the file you want it to use as default , to the default name.
then whenever you fire up lfs that mod car will have the engine sound you gave it when lfs starts.

in case someone updates a mod, you can copy the engine folder to the new mod folder, and in some cases new engine sounds have new names, so be sure to name it as the current default.

some engines. lower, deeper, new antilags/blow off,gearshift,airintake,gearwhines, etc..
not all are changed completely. most are made form the original of likewise mod car.
also not all is named as the car. some of the earlier ones.

BMW covers most bmw type cars.(lower)
bike/fast bike covers most bikes as general sound. (lower)
Subaru engine covers most of the subaru´s like kenjii/kenjii RX/Bunta/Impressive C08/Impressive B2/Scoopy and most rb4 and other 4wd based cars.
LCT3000 can be used for most trucks or vans as a general sound.

packed in winrar. goes to lfs/data/engine (or mod car folder as explained above)

110 engine sounds:

Impressive B2

new lights.
more yellow indicators. a bit darker rear indicator.
more bright rear brake lights. brighter reverse light.
brighter front lights. front indicator is a bit tricky so might update when i figure that out.
1 file for lights. including third brake light LED.
however i did not find anything useful for a subaru so this is made from a basic non super duper car such as a common toyota hi-ace . mmmyeah. somehow it looks great on the sub though. manipulated image a bit. think subbie when you see it

dont mind the skin. it was only a test. as was the lights really.

Note*
why damn the license plate dds is wrong...hm..

EDIT:
model has a dashboard fail which is visible in my experiment to make it blue.




EDIT 2:

okay so i changed the license plate and got it aligned better.
apparently it is not the same alignment on both front and rear plate which i simply didnt notice when i made the first try.
i also changed the logos to sti and subaru logo (front in pink) and the lower headlight covers are now removed because you can make that on the actual skin so it would only be on top of anything on the skin, perhaps a decal. so this is why it is now just transparent. also ads sti logo to left bolt on license plate rear, and right side bolt is a subaru logo bolt which is also used for both front bolts. you also get sti logo on the steering wheel, and blue dashboard color, which you may not want to change.

changes head lights , rear and side indicator lights and adds 3rd brakelight with LED as described above.

updated link above to same link as here.
screenshots and readme inside winrar.

some newer images of better aligned license plate (cant catch this sti) and small edit to indicators and the 3 rd brakelight










logo size on front is maximum covering the logo area. this is another fial on this car as they simply do not align.
so this is reason logo seems smaller than its supposed to be.



DownLoad:

these files also fits the impressive C8. they just needs to be renamed to corrosponding files in that cars mod folder/dds.

EDIT:
i made 2 other versions with yellow head lights and a tan of blue in lights.
im testing the yellow in night edition and the blue in snow edition.
but not done testing yet. but i could upload them as its basically the same file just with another color headlight.

EDIT:
now also in yellow and blueish headlights. you can use only one at the time. goes same place as described above.

Impressive B2

skin template 4096x4096.

basically you take a color. make it skin same size as the template.
smack the template on top.
boom you got a skin with some decals, scoops & logos.
you can add your own or remove some according to your taste.
might do more templates as i already did




my own made skin this way.
grabbed the entire milky way (because wizards can do that)
stuffed it into a skin and added the template above.



updated engine sound for this car.
lfs/data/engine or impressive b2 or c8 engine folder (copy and rename copy to default if you like to have permanent)
https://ufile.io/p0i2gg5r

[THE WIZARD DK]

few more skins for the impressive B2.

currently uploaded to lfs world.

but some will be taken down again.

just to show how easy it is to make a skin with the template which i also noticed i made a mistake with the mirrors. text wraps around them which i didnt notice when i made it.

but heres a few skins made really fast. one made from a metal plate. another made from rusty metal, and one is honeycomb pattern (with a cheetah) and last theres two more normal looking skins, with black and yellow text. sonce these was the most used colors i think on the rally car.

feel free to use even if taken down from lfsworld. these are 2048 versions.
they also exist in 4096 if anyone is interested.

[THE WIZARD DK]

Grass experiment.

grass to the right side is original made with flowers in very low res.

i always thought the grass in lfs looked weird.

so to the left is a file i just made from a ground and grass texture.

flowers in the grass strings is a seperat file. ground grass is the new grass.

how would coloring fit best ? thats the issue i experiment with .

should it be darker or lighter than original.




it looks weird like this and the grass seems to be a bit too large. im aware of this.
this was just to show the test. if made for full track, you probably wont notice the difference , however i will try to make it fit to original deafult size.
furthermore the plan is to make flowers in the grass too. for that extra eyecandy stuff
