If the designs in your Storefront arenāt showing with the bodykits you require thereās a good chance you havenāt followed the steps exactly. Thereās a subtle difference in the process depending on what youāre trying to do (i.e. starting from scratch or editing an existing design) that will affect whether it will work or not. Youāre the first person to leave feedback to say it didnāt work, Iām happy to run through it in a PM & if youāve found something Iāve missed, Iāll update the appropriate post.
Yes, thatās to be expected. Unlike the Auction House, youāre not buying the actual car from the Storefront but rather the file that the creator uploaded. Think of the image you see as an advert only, any bodykit/rims etc. will have to be applied separately.
You clearly misunderstood what CyborgHunter meant by the car appearing as stock.
Heās not dumbā¦ he doesnāt think (nor did he say that) the livery is supposed to come with the performance parts like you assumed he thought, heās saying that the preview of the livery gets reverted to stock after he downloads someone elseās livery.
And the same happens to me.
I downloaded a livery for which the preview was a liberty walk M3, after I downloaded the livery I checked it out on the designs page and the livery was now bugged, showing a stock M3. That happens to every livery I download and not a single one of my liveries show the upgraded parts, not a single oneā¦ And yes, I followed your instructions, and no, they didnāt work.
I would definitely call this a ābugā regardless if there is a workaround
Is this suppose to work when you buy a new car, apply body style and apply your existing design? Iām still showing stock rims on all my cars no matter what I doā¦ The only step I didnāt do is Share my design because itās locked
And another question is, even if it shows stock to me itās there in gameā¦ if I were to share my design or sell my car would they see it in game also?
I tested every variation I could think of - new, prize spins, AH - and it worked. The guide was specifically meant to help people who were trying to get their designs to feature the required bodykits/rims in their Storefront so if you havenāt shared yours Iām guessing youāre viewing it in the āMy Designsā tab. If thatās the case then Yes, youāre right, there is a bug or glitch which means the design always shows as stock when viewed here. (I did state that but to be fair it wasnāt highlighted so Iāll go back and edit the 2nd post).
As long as the file was saved following the right sequence the bodykit/rims will show when itās shared to the Storefront. If you sell a car in the AH buyers will automatically be able to see the upgrades regardless of the sequence they were applied.
Thanks but still no way if I donāt share it and just want to sell the car. Another thing that bugs me is when I click to view my design in my storefront it downloadsā¦ I just wanted to check usage stats. So then Iām confused which one I downloaded.
So In the process of testing, Iāve managed to share several variations of my car and have 1 design in my library. Basically Iām not seeing a way to unshare those versions. Even after I delete all designs of that car from my library I can still see those shared in my storefront.
Ah yes, āghost liveriesā. I had the same thing when I was testing things out Rebel.
Itās caused by loading a file thatās already shared to your Storefront onto a car then, after editing, overwriting it with the āSave to current carā option. The moment you do that the game creates a new file in your library in the same slot as the original but leaves the original file safe in your Storefront. If you then share the new file you will have 2 files in the Storefront but only one in the library (see below).
To retrieve the āghostā file simply go to your Storefront and download it by pressing the A button. The file will now appear in your library where you can check stats.
Love the tutorial, however, I still canāt get it to work. I started by selecting a vehicle ('98 Nissan Silvia Kās Aero) then installed the Rocket Bunny body kit preset. I created a design and saved it to my current car. Tweaked the design then saved and shared it as my Rocket Bunny design. Although the body kit is installed on the car, the car still shows as stock in my storefront.
Update:
Since I have been having issues with my livery editor (creating and applying decals) since day one of the FH3 release. I shut down my Xbox1 and unplugged all the connections. I reconnected the network and power cables and started the machine up and loaded FH3. I then purchased a new Silvia Kās Aero, followed your instructions again and like magic, it worked. Not only was I able to save the livery correctly, as a side benefit, the auto save function on my game finally works.
What exactly happens to deleted shares does anyone know? I understand that no Future uses (and downloads, how could they be downloaded anymoreā¦) of them will yield payouts.
Will the amount of downloads on my storefront status decrease however? If l delete everything on my storefront will my status get reset to zero along with number of downloads accumulated?
I want to reupload some designs but am worried my already low 200 downlod progress will get hampered.
Iām assuming that would be the case, although now I think about itā¦ the file still exists in someone elseās garage even if you delete it from your SF, so why canāt it still register usage & payout stats then attribute them to the creator? The file has all the info after all.
I shared a run of āearly accessā designs imported from FM6 for VIP members to download. Unshared them after a couple of days & whatever stats they accumulated stayed on my profile. If you re-share a design I assume the game will treat it as a new file & your stats will accrue accordingly.
Hey Midnyte
I was finally able to get it done the way you described. I can see my design in the storefront as it was intended to be seen. Paint and all extra body kit/rims are showing now.
Thanks for explaining the process. The way to properly create and share designs seems a bit convoluted when someone new to this is trying to do it on their own. Your guide is spot on.
Cheers
Have to say that I wasnāt paying attention at first and I thought it wasnāt working.
Then I noticed that the customisation was indeed showing in my storefront lol
Youāre welcome Papa Team & Iām glad it worked CyborgHunter, I was keeping an eye on the PM just in case
Thanks again, Iāve seen a few people post that. Thereās a link to this thread in [AB]'s āDatabase, Tutorial & useful Infoā thread so it IS stickiedā¦ you just have to know where to look
Is there a way to get rid of the duplicate designs that were unfortunately downloaded from the own storefront? When I try to delete a duplicate, it shows a message that this design will be unshared and deleted from my store.
Sorry for the late reply Oldskool. As far as I could make out thereās no way to remove a file downloaded from your own SF without unsharing it. (Again, if anyone knows any different then would appreciate them posting here).
Youāre welcome mate, it does look a lot better with the right kit/parts on but I wouldnāt worry too muchā¦ all your designs look great anyway Pat
Great tutorial M. Dubh, this should help with the multple saves in my catalog. I usually save to car 1st. Till I am finished with design then save to catalog but by then I several saves of the same car. Iām guessing it is because when you save to car it also saves to catalog at same time, so then I go in and delete. But I still donāt see stats in s.f except for total downloads not for individual designs.
