It doesn't work for me anymore as well, but there's an easy way around it.
@Luuni just extract the package to */steamapps/common/Motorsport Manager/MM_Data/Modding/Databases (thats where you put files if you want to make your own mod) and then activate mod testing in game. As long as you dont want to create another mod this will work.

i dit, but all drivers are still the same

So, you just download it through the Steam workshop and select the mod when you start a new career.

Hi, how to properly install this? i've tried extracting at the same folder the random zips are, since its called databases, but it did nothing
then i've tried extracting it at Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Modding\Databases wich is the only other databases folder i've found, but it also did nothing

That is rather odd, they should be there. Let me look into it.

Hey, I cannot find the zip files in the mentioned folder.
Did the workshop file change?

That is correct. Unfortunately with how the game is, you can not use the steam workshop to change those drivers.

Hey i just want to point out that drivers name when you create your own team are not randomized... its always gomes and faith...

Thanks for the quick response! I will give it a try now :)

I believe that it is the "Race Payment Offset" in the teams.txt file. You would put a value as a percentage in there. So if you want 50% of the payment, you put 0.5

Could you please let me know what value it is that influences this? I have been trying to find it so that I can repack a series with your files and the original GTCS value, but I can't figure out which parameter I need to change :O

Ah yeah. Personally I found that the amount that was offered in the GTCS series normally was lower than it should've been, so I've increased it a bit.

Hello, thank you very much for your work, it's really great!
I have found a small issue: when starting a season in the GT Challenger Series, the Chairman will propose the same amount of money that is proposed for the ERS, which is much more than what is normally proposed for the GTCS (I have tried a few Random sets from your pack, and the same always happened).
I tried to see if I could find the value in the .txt files, but I don't know what it corresponds to, that's why I am askin here :)

I extracted the "drivers.txt" file from one of the archives and imported it into my own mod. It worked no problems. Or, well... The problem was that the looks and names of some of the drivers were ... well... not to my taste, so I decided not to use the mod. Yes, I'm boring, so sue me... :-) Still, it worked.

I get the same result.

I can't seem to get this to work. I even tried to remove everything except for mechanics, engineers and drivers, but it allways says "could not load steam workshop stuff".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I just want randomized drivers / staff so badly. :c

update; Removed all the txt files except the driver, mechanic and designer one and it works with the other mods now. Thank you for this addon!

forgot to mention: i have only tested with create your own team.

This does not seem to work with ANY other mods. I have tried multiple only loading with this mod.
I love the randomness of everything with your mod, but still would like some other things which other mods provide, for example, more sponsors, faster HQ building times. Can you tell me if there is way which i am not seeing to make it compatible with them? Maybe disable the .txt files for the affected area's? ( for example sponsors? )

Because i dont want a game where all the cars have to come to the pits for repair something always.

Ey, man. Sorry if this question sounds stupid, but in all your randoms does all the cars of all the categories have good reliability?

It uses a very similiar name generator to what the game does, to be honest. There are about 88,413 first names and 382,511 second names. Unfortunately I don't have the time to go through all those names to see what would be classified as "strange".

ey man, one thing, could you do something to have better names of the drivers and staff? 'cause the people in the mod have very strange names. just to let you know

It doesn't automatically randomise it, that's why in the Workshop Files "(Steam Location)/steamapps/workshop/content/415200/1120363797/Databases" there are some .zip files which contain different versions of the text files. If you extract them into the Databases folder (Overwriting the current files) you will get different starts.

Having it so that it could randomly choose one of those sets would require a change in the source code, not do able in Steam Workshop.

sorry i have tried 3 start of new career and i have same rules same driver ecc ecc

The only thing I don't like about creating a team is that the drivers are preset. You always get the same starting drivers and you have a big fee to pay if you want to replace them. But I guess since you don't have any drivers scouted from the start you probably shouldn't go hiring random drivers out the gate. Especially in a when all the other drivers are randomized :P

Ah yeah, if you create a team those drivers are set through other files. Might look into changing those but not sure if the Steam Workshop sees them.

Correction, You start with the same 3 drivers depending on which series you start your team in. Example, you will always start with the same 3 drivers everytime you create a new team in F3.

Yes and no. The final idea would be to have a lot of zip files avaiable in which you can choose one of the options for a new game.

Whenever I start a new career as a new team I start with the same 3 drivers. Is that something that can be randomized?

Great mod, looking forward to future updates and the different versions. Thanks for making this.

Yeah, there was an error which seemed to make all of the people Male. Will be fixed in the next update.

One thing that I've noticed is that the genders doesn't match the names.
Just a minor thing, but just to let you know :)

Livery and model mods should work fine with it.

Mods that change liveries won't affect this mod then?

It randomises the Vanilla drivers/teams. So, it won't work with mods that change the starting teams/drivers.

does it work whit odder mods?

Yeah, that will be another thing which will be randomized in later versions.

Thanks!

If possible, I'd also appreciate a feature to randomize each category starting rules.
