garfie Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Been attepmting to paint my own skins, and complete a couple, saved them as TGA files, then converted them to mtex files and put thme in the corresponding mod folders and completed the driver text file. when came to race, selected my painted car, all fine, then when the start of the race came on, i got the correct chassis, but the the skin was not on the car, but just the page u get in the paintshop when u are painting it i.e the page was just attached to the car, if u understand?! my sound confusing, but hard to expain. sorry if it doesn't make any sense, but any ideas? Cheers, Garfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Does it look like the template has been "draped" over the car? If so, you might want to check that you have saved it the right way round. Ie. If you rotated it during painting, that you have returned it to its original view.

All my skins are done in PSP and I have no problems with them not saving correct. The only issue I have is that sometimes the text appeaars a little blurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
