EasyERPMod

After getting into Formula 1 racing game (F1 2020), I found a large modding community for the game franchise. Basically, you can modify most aspect of an F1 car to your liking.

This is achieved by using a great app/library by ptasev called Ego-Engine-Modding. The app is like an explorer app, navigate through files in a packed *.erp file (used by the game) and options to view/export/import those files.

To create an entire "mod" however, needs multiple files to be replaced or edited; using EgoERPArchiver (an app in the repo) only would make applying a mod takes a lot of time. Different mods may edit the same file and the end user needs to manage that on their own.

So I thought to myself, why not create an app to automatically do that? Well, that's exactly what EasyERPMod do.

Features:

  • Play Multiplayer

  • Set Time Trial record

  • No need to import/export everytime a file is edited

  • Multiple mods seperated in different folders. Easy management.

  • Explorer app to manage mods

  • Restore original files after game exit (this is how you can play multiplayer)

  • Texture arrays supported (read wiki for more info)
