ok have you placed the .car file into the F2 folder?

 

If you havent then thats the first thing you need to do.

 

Then find the file called "Drivers.txt" it will be like a little notepad, in that copy one of the entries and then paste it at the bottom, then change the details such as your number ( this will correspond to the number you have on your .car file ), then your name, and the name of the chassis (this is very important or else the skin will look 'messed'.

 

Makes sure that the bottom of your text looks like this,

 

table Driver

number 998

name Novice Taylormade

chassis taylormade

rank 1

race_image 100

body_style ccar

ui_image driver998.img

end

 

end

 

It should have an 'end after the main bulk of the entry, and then for the bottom one only you need to leave a line and have another 'end' underneath like above. After you have done that, go to file and click save, then close that text file, you can now launch the game and it should have added your car to the game. Hope this helps, any problems just ask

Could be a few things i think

 

1) you havent added the skin file ( the .car file ) to the ukdirt F2 folder

 

2) you havent put the correct number in the drivers text

 

"table Driver

number 998"

 

The number bit there^ in the drivers text needs to be the same as the number on your .car file

 

Have a look at those, if it doesent sort it post again :)

My name shows up in the game but when I select the car it comes up red instead of the colours painted.

Sorry to be a pain but I am new to this. :banghead2:

Yes, its because you only have the image, when the skin was painted it will have been on photoshop or paint shop pro, from this the skin is saved as a TGA file, this is then converted from a TGA file to a .TEX file, its this TEX file u need.

 

It will not show the skin from an image, so when u can get the .tex or tga file from andy :)

 

if you need it converting from TGA to TEX just send me a PM
