watto Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have followed all the directions and have saved an F2 skin however when I open up F2 program the car is plain red with none of the paintwork I have done present anywhere. I have deleted the whole thing. Done a new one and exactly the same happens. Any ideas? I have tried 2 different chassis types. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruiz 136 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Is the file you have saved it as converted from a .tga to a .tex, that may be your problem. unlessit is saved as a .tex file the game won't recognise it. The program mktex that you can get on ukdirt.co.uk doesn't work so if you look around the file manager you will find something called tga 2 tex. Download that, that will turn your tga to a .tex file.

Cheers Kruiz Why doesnt mktex work??? Ive always used it and it works fine every time. Only have to read the guide on how to use it on the UKDirt website and should be no problem.

watto Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Have followed the guide to the letter. Managed to upload a skin yesterday with no issue. Today regardless of what I try the whole thing is just red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruiz 136 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Not sure why mktex doesn't work. It never works for me along a few other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
