Supertouring version 6.4 Updated 06.04.16

Introduction
Introducing the 6th version of the Super Touring Mod: This version features new SSTR shaders - thanks to haruo for providing  the tutorial for these. There are also many new models from dbstreet a.k.a Satori plus some new cars from AndreasFSC and Nebehr - see readme for specifics. 

Track Pack for BTCC Seasons
A major addition from version 4.0 onwards  is a track pack and championship files for BTCC 1994-2000 with full AI filter so drivers come and go as they did in real life*   To run the championships provided this pack is required!
There are multiple version of each track - those that appear twice on calendar have an early and late version plus there is a feature race version for 1998-2000 seasons.
It is not possible to simulate a mandatory 2 tyre stop in GTR2 however you can schedule all AI to make a single stop during the race. In the feature races all drivers will start with enough fuel to get to their pit stop where they change 4 tyres and fuel to the end (if fuel simulation is off they start with 1litre but still refuel) so if you want to play fair with the AI do this also. 
I have used the same track .GDB file for all feature races 1998-2000. You can change the laps in which drivers pit around but bear in mind they have been arranged so no team mates clash across all 3 seasons.  Each 2 car team has its own pit group with 2 independent drivers sharing one pit group.  Exception is 2000 where 3 car teams a split using spare pit groups.

*Some exceptions - 1994 grid size sometimes exceeds track limits, a driver usually from secondary class will be missing.  Drivers who switched cars or teams can't be simulated David Leslie in 2000 for example only appears in a Nissan.

Important Info about Talent Files (.RCD) Located ...GTR2/Gamedata/Talent
There are talent files for all drivers across the BTCC seasons 1994 each in their own folder. Many drivers are duplicated and will clash with each other.  Rickard Rydell, for example, is slower in 1994 than future seasons. For most accurate results remove any talent files you are not using to a separate folder outside of the GTR2 root folder - including default talent files.
 I understand this is a bit annoying if you are just doing quick races but makes a real difference when running championships if you want AI relative performance closer to real life.

Installation Instructions:
For version 5 and onwards there is a new format where there is now a base mod separated from the skins.  The Super Touring Mod shares sounds and tracks with the BTCC 2001 (and onwards) mod and all files for both mods will be in the download folder. You will find add-on skin packs in sub folders within the main folder.

To run the Super Touring Mod you need these files first:

1 Supertouring_base_mod_vX,X  (contains no skins)
2 Sounds    No changes since version 5.
3 Tracks (only essential for British championships) No Changes since version 5


Then from the folder 'Add-on Skin Packs - Super Touring' at least one of the files depending on which packs you want. 
Note: All Packs updated for Version 6.0.
With the makers permission I hope to add all packs to this folder so they are easy to find now that the thread has so many pages.

Thanks so much Simon!

EDIT: Just tried this out - probably the best mod I have on GTR2! Amazing fun to drive!

Now just need some additional seasons of BTCC...

I'd be looking to adapt my 96 to 2000 BTCC skins onto this mod later if you don't mind

just wow big thx! those where the best years of btcc!!!

1997 skins are being worked on so 1996 , 1999 , 2000 would be a great help... 

This could be a nice events   

Thanks, looked forward to this mod. Toca2 childhood memories

Wow this is simply amazing, so many thanks for sharing it!! Best era of touring car racing!

Very Cool and Very Well Done..Thanks!

Have just noticed that the Volvo has a reflection issue I think? Seems to be really shiny compared to the other cars? Also reduces the quality of the skin. It's OK in showroom but not on track.

Deleted

Cheers!

Sorry to be a pain again mate... Love the mod, great fun!

Would it be possible to have the same ingame reflectivity/emap settings for all cars so they are the same as the Honda? The Honda is much less shiny than the other cars and, in my view, looks better like that than, say, the Mondeo or Primera?

They look fine in game to me, if anything I see it the other way around with the Honda being too shiny.

I'm using the emaps released by Nascarfreak and the reworked STEX.GTR by aleksss [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I've had a look in 3dsimed and the Honda body uses emap_paint.dds - whereas most the others use emap_tyre.dds which isn't ideal but I opted for those as they removed the shininess completely.

Hmm... I have the same STEX file. This is how the Honda shows up ingame. All the other cars are shinier. I tried a screenshot but that seemed to correct the problem with the Nissan at least... Maybe it's my graphics?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It could be you have a loose emap_paint that's darker and/or an emap_tyre that's lighter within GTR2/Teams that conflicts with the the emaps included with the mod.


Edit - Or it could be I have

I've uploaded a new version unique emaps for both the showroom model and the actual car, link in the first post.

Perfect fix, thanks Simon for all your efforts!

NICE! I was actually going to look at converting this mod myself, it's about time there were some Supertourers in GTR2!! My all time favourite motorsports era is 90's BTCC.

My dream - a comprehensive 1994-2000 Supertourers mod. Maybe one day we'll get there in the GTR2 community... think i might start with the earlier Renault liveries

Thanks for posting!

Them were the days, reminds me of Nigel Mansell stuffing a mondeo into the the old bridge at Donnington.

Very good conversion and so much fun!

I remember it too. The Toca Race Game was the sim to play that days.   

excuse me for asking.
If im not mistaken there was a mod for gtrevo featirung not only the 1998 season but several supert touring championshi seasons of the 90's.
This mod on this thread is it only about 1998?

Thanx

now this is the several seasons mod i ve been talking about

As far as I know the Reloaded mod has completely new models. Different maps also. Much higher quality.
