Livery Manager

ACC Tools provides Livery Manager to help you manage the custom liveries you create or obtain.

Custom liveries in ACC comprise at least a car definition file, created using the builtin editor. These can be extended to use custom images by adding a folder containing the images and editing the car definition file to point to the folder.

Livery Manager allows you to view and delete you custom liveries from two perspectives each presented in a separate tab.

Cars

The Cars tab displays all of the car definition files located in the Customs/Cars folder within the ACC documents folder, in a searchable table. Car definition files are in JSON format and contain details of a car in your garage, including a colour scheme and potentially the name of folder where custom images are located. The information displayed in the table is taken from these JSON files.

Liveries

The Liveries Tab displays all of the folders located in the Customs/Liveries folder within the ACC Documents folder, which contain the custom images linked to cars.

The Used by Cars column contains a comma separated list of car definitions that are linked to the custom livery folder. If this column is empty the folder has become orphaned and is of no futher use.

Searching

Both tables include a search field in the top right corner. Entering text into these fields will filter the table showing only rows where any column contains the text entered. The search is not case sensitive.

Deleting

At the end of each row in both tables is a Trash Can icon that can be used to delete the content the row is linked to. If you attempt to delete a Car that is linked to a Livery or a Livery that is linked to one or more Cars you will be prompted whether the linked data should also be deleted.

In both cases activating Yes will delete both the Livery folder and Car Definition file/s linked to the row.

In both cases activated No will only delete the element linked to the row. This would result in orphaned elements, which could cause problems in ACC. For example you could end up with a Car Definition pointing to a Livery folder that does not exist.

In both cases ticking the checkbox labelled Don’t ask me again, always delete both will prevent the prompt from being displayed again and linked elements being deleted without any prompt at all in the future.
