How to get my skin ingame?

[Lars Brugman]

Hi,

How do I need to save my skin and where should I put it?

Thanks

Chech your vehicle files. Probably something went wrong there.
Is the black and white one of your customs, or a default. You need to supply a bit more info so we know where to look for.

It's neither. It looks like GSC is ''blocking'' me from racing against my own skins lol. If i knew how to take pics inside GSC i would so i could show you.

You can use a program like FRAPS for that. I believe there is also a key mapping you can set to make screenshots with the game itself. believe F10 is default key for that.

Oh ok, thanks

This is what i see

Windows are completely white, so it seems as a sort of temp skin. Not sure, but it's not working correctly indeed.

Your own skin does look correctly when you look at the replay?
Do you get any fault notifications when loading the track?
If you remove the newly made skins, do the default skins work correctly again?
If you make just 1 new skin, and put that in the game, do the other drivers have normal default skins again?

The default skins all work fine, it's just the custom skins that do this. I have 3 skins that i made and put into the game, they're all fine when I race with them, they just do this when they are the AI. No fault notifications at all.

Did you save your new skins with mipmaps? While it'll look ok when you test as a single car weird things can happen if your texture files don't have mipmaps. I can't think of anything else that would be causing that offhand..

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

These are my 1st GSC skinsI just painted etc. I don't know what mipmaps are? Could you please explain?

-edit: Lol nevermind, i know what it is and no i didn't use any mipmaps, i'll try now.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Ok, used mipmaps, and it fixed the problem Thanks guys!
