Getting Started with Custom Liveries

Before creating a livery, ensure you have a graphics editing program such as Photoshop or GIMP. You’ll also need to locate the game’s livery templates, which are available online or within the game files.

Designing Your Livery

Start by opening the template files. These are usually in DDS format and correspond to different car models. Use your graphics editor to customize the design by adding colors, logos, and patterns. Remember to keep important areas like windows transparent or blank.

Save your completed design in the DDS format, maintaining the original file naming conventions for compatibility.

Applying Your Livery in the Game

Transfer your DDS files into the appropriate game directory, typically found in the ‘Liveries’ folder within the game installation directory. Launch Dirt Rally 2.0 and navigate to the car customization menu.

Select the vehicle you want to customize, then choose the option to add or change liveries. Your custom design should appear in the list. Apply it and verify that it displays correctly in the game.

Sharing Your Custom Liveries

To share your livery with others, package your DDS files along with any relevant instructions or descriptions. Upload them to online communities, forums, or dedicated mod-sharing websites for Dirt Rally 2.0.
