Modify car skins of offline profiles for split-screen

Post by rabusmar »

Hello,

I created 3 offline profiles to play on split-screen, however, I would like to know if there is a way to modify the car skins for them because it get's quite confusing where there are several cars that look alike.

I looked in the profile settings but couldn't find any setting for the offline profiles, and also trying to start the game with any of those offline profiles doesn't seem to be possible.

Regards,

Rabindranath

I would like it if the game at least chose random skins to differentiate the players' cars. It doesn't seem to ever do that in Stadium.
Sometimes it does in Valley and Canyon, but if it does it's only after the first track.

Yeah, this problem is a sad step backwards since TMU :(
It's reported since the release of Canyon, but so far in vain.

When it does choose random skins, it doesn't load custom models either. Just textures and car sounds :?

I swear you can start the game with them, as long as you select "use multiple profiles" Instead of single? :? It's in advanced settings on the dialogue box which appears just before you press "play" to start up the game.

I think even using multiple profiles (Offline ones), the only thing it seems to remember is the horn you picked for them; usually they can't use most of the downloaded car skins because they don't have any planets. (You can change their avatar and name though; it does at least recall that) The best I've been able to do was start as one of the offline profiles, change their settings, and then set up a splitscreen race there, so that it remembers mine and at least one other guy's skins and horns. The 3/4th drivers have to make do with a generic grey/random Nadeo vehicle. Hope this info helps.

How do you get to the profile menu? As far as I know it's only accessible from within titles, and offline profiles can't load titles because they don't own titles.

Well, my memory is hazy, but I think I may have done this when Stadium was in Open Beta. :oops: I think you may be right about the titles though, as there is no way to play offline on them without being on the main paid-for account.

Hmm... I wonder if there's a way to get the demos to run on offline profiles, on a computer that has the full games installed.
