Transcripts

hello and welcome everyone back on the

channel parking lee here from race

department today i want to show you how

to install

um

f1 team swept for my team

so you might have seen my

modded race department

the f1 teams for my team the same as

last year but people asked me to do a

video how to copy paste this and that i

think it's pretty easy going forward but

yeah you never know

so

as the overview states

this mod makes you able to use real

f-121 chassis for mighty mode

obviously the in-game selection will not

be affected by that only in the showroom

and in the race

in all active sessions not in the livery

choose choice screen

so the requirements are here you need

the base file same as last year so i

don't need to make a new

video for that because the old one is

still completely good for this year i

kept it all the same way

our installation is pretty forward we

will go through that all the time now

and then we'll have to choose uh make a

choice which one we want to use so of

course you have to download the file

here you click and download it

i will not click it because it takes so

much time because a 300 megabyte as i

included mips which are not there by

default for many teams i don't know

codemasters this year somehow screwed it

up don't ask me why

they just screwed it up and i can't say

that's a good job they've been done

so anyway so this would be the mod

that you would have downloaded this is

the zip file my mod

and inside you find

10 teams

the one from the f121 obviously

and you have to make a choice so which

one you want to use as a chassis base

for your mighty mode so

in my example here we go with mercedes

so let's head into the mercedes folder

now you have two

one folder and one file

to copy and there's a readme file which

states okay you copy the folder

into the main folder ff121

and you copy the erp file

into the modular mods active folder

alright so we will do this right now we

will copy these are the mips of the

textures some might use it some don't my

default comes with it this time last uh

like last year

so we copy this folder we copy it all

right

then we head into our f1 21 main

directory okay this is the main

directory you don't go into the

subfolder nothing else you just paste it

here okay you copy it from a to b and it

is already existing for me so i just

replace the files there's no issue there

so this is not asset groups it's just

the main file you copy there it will

create a subfolder on teams called sex

haters because this is what my mods

base names is

so we don't have a duplicate of the f1

team

then we go back to our zip file here and

we copy my team f1 mercedes erp because

we chose mercedes you can choose another

one into modular mods

active

and copy it inside i already have it

inside it's not a big issue

and this is all you need to do

so if you now load up the game

you will be able to already see the

effect in the my team

as i stated not in delivery selection

you will only see it in the showroom and

in the actual sessions so qualifying

race

what is the practice

because delivery itself still does show

the multiplayer fom car

and it's not affected by that so don't

get confused if you go into

customization and you think it's not

there

you know let's go continue my team

career

and i have included this year not the

original pictures because someone last

year called it it was uploading original

content it was unmodified so i thought

okay screw it i just invert the colors

and you have to live with that now of

course you have to choose your own to

import i will show you in the next step

so as you can see here we now have the

mercedes car

in my team

and we could like i said if you now go

into customization it will not be

affected okay so here you will see your

normal my team car because this is the

multiplayer car all right for

multiplayer it is going to be used but

if you head back

this is the one you will see in the

races

and in your game so now we want to

import use different custom texture okay

so because you think yeah i don't want

to have a white reciter i just want to

use the mercedes chassis but i want to

use my own livery

or delivery by someone else

okay why not sure that's why we have it

so let's head back here for example race

department

uh somewhere we're creating here let's

check out

audi sport if one team it is for my team

for the mercedes chassis i mean you can

use it as well for the real mercedes

team it's no problem there you can see

the overview page of him this you might

think oh yeah it's a great car i like to

oh yeah red and black and all these

sports i really love it wow this is

awesome yeah holographic testing livery

i want to have it yeah of course then

you just go download it

and

you will have a download here that's his

and if you're lucky

it is copy and paste

if you're lucky it is copy and paste if

you're lucky so like here it is copy and

paste

he has no mips included as far as i have

seen so we don't have a vehicle folder

usually there should be because it is

not

a good way to just have one mip it's in

general not a really good way

and it never used to be

i told him that already because usually

you would have

you

know

more mips because

a texture is gonna be loaded in multiple

levels in the game

somehow codemaster screwed up this year

but okay so we can

just copy this one here again

into f121 modular mods active

you paste it inside

and now we should see

the other livery

being active in my team with the

mercedes chassis

and if you like

well we go one step further so if you

create your own texture maybe

well it could happen

we will import it

let's find out okay first here

we should see the

black and the red

why is that black now i'm confused i

hate the white screen okay

sorry about the loading time guys it's

already sst i can't make it faster

so now you see

this is his the audi sport in black and

red

so this is all i do copy and paste so

the next step now you might

come up with a with a different one like

maybe it's it's not meant for that okay

so so maybe you found

a different mercedes texture

um

i think there is some if we look uh

look for skins

let's see maybe someone has a mercedes

oh yeah here you can see it mercedes eq

performance silver arrows team package

this and that

you might want to use that and you might

want to use your own livery and you

might you want to use this or that or i

don't know so i will show you the next

step what you can do if you're doing it

on your own and is if it's your first

time if you have worked with erp already

with the eea

uh you can just quit the video here

thanks for watching thanks for stopping

by see you next time

uh the rest might want to continue and

see how they can do

so we have a mercedes paint for example

here okay

and we have our my team f1 mercedes here

the best practice is because he is using

no mibs

we should be using mips and i will

delete it

okay we will delete it again we will

start from the scratch we will again

go to our maps here go to mercedes

copy our base mercedes from the mod

inside okay

so you see this is an erp file

and an erp file is to be opened opened

with the eea 8.0.1 this year

so this is the

i will link the two in the description

the eagle erp achiever eea okay

this is by peter and he's doing it for

over a decade and we really rely on his

tools

so you can go on this page you download

it

and please if you can

put some donation in there if you can

and you can spend it

one dollar two dollars 10 20. it doesn't

matter if you can just put something

into at least not one cent or something

ridiculous it's it costs more than it's

worth because they're fees to be paid

i already have it

so i have my own download link

if you don't can afford it

okay so be it you can just say no thanks

you download the ego erp achiever

8.0.1 this is the last version from july

and we will have it sorry i'm a little

bit confused right now

we will have it here

the eagle earp achiever

and inside youtube just copy and paste

it wherever you want to have it okay

this is all new where you want to copy

and paste it is a zip file with an open

folder nothing to install

not here of course you need to install

something and it is stated

you need the

net point 5.0 reducer requirement

runtime

if you don't know how to get it just

copy it

and you see you come on to

google you say okay it's the first one

and you want to install the

desktop runtime

yeah so it says

the net 5.0 desktop runtime

so use this netpoint okay

you go here probably x64 because it's

not 33 bit anymore you install this and

after you have installed this because

usually you wouldn't have it on your pc

you can use the ego erp achiever all

right

and if you have copied the eagle erp

achiever to a place you really like

after that you can for example use the

properties of an erp file

you can choose open with

you can change it search for different

apps

and search for the app

wherever you have copied the the axle

i can't really say where i have copied

it

i can't really say

it might be oh here i think here

yeah and then you would make a choice

like this you say eagle earp achieve

access you just say open

and it's assigned so the earpiece so the

next time you go with an erp file and

double click it

it will open with the with the correct

tool so

the next thing you need to do if you

didn't have it

because it's your first time with the

tool you need to set the game directory

as you can see my directory for f121 is

as steam libraries dmaps common whatever

you maybe haven't seen installed on cd

whatever you click on set directory you

look for the directory for the main

folder all right for the main folder

no subfolder just with the access laying

and then it's set for the tool it's very

important

if you change back to f2 f1 2020 it's

important to switch it back again

because else the mips will not be there

okay so now we have the two open now we

have our custom erp file here and now we

want to import our own texture or maybe

a texture we have found somewhere so i

have a texture here it's not my own

creation but it's a texture here so i

say okay we have it here in liveries

so i like to import textures import i go

into the folder where i have it and say

okay mercedes pane c

okay then here comes the mid maps which

the audi team did not have

i have

i replaced the mid maps

it's taking a little bit

i import once again you need to paste

the

folder path once again

paste it inside there as well

i think i need that one too

yep

okay

let's let's keep the decals here you can

do with the steering wheel with the

decals with whatever okay so we have

imported it okay so textures import then

you import the dds it's a dds file it's

it's a texture file

how to open dds i will not explain to

you because if you're not going to

graphics education eddy

editing

there's no reason for you and you find

enough sources to which one you use

which program paint net

photoshop whatever you call so

after that

you just save the file my team have one

mercedes crp you want to replace it yes

we want to replace it

and now we have imported its on our own

we have our own file

we open the game one more time

and this way you can import

every repeat file wherever you want to

have it you can import textures

all over the game

mostly if you're using templates that's

created by maya or me

you can just open it this way

and replace the textures inside so you

don't have to use the one that comes

with the mod

but now you have more choices for my

team

choose different chassis

maybe you want to play as alfa romeo may

you want to play as a romeo with the

latest livery

well now you have the way how to do it

so now you can see we didn't replace the

decal mode we replaced the main textures

this is how it looks right now

so this is all this

i hope it helped you understand a little

bit i hoped it was uh straightforward

and easy to understand if not let me

know in the comments what i can improve

and if you have fun with that mod let me

know too

because that motivates me to keep on

going and

thanks for watching

and if you're looking at this one here
