Upload it somewhere, so someone can check.
Would be wise to also create external_scrape.dds, just so it looks okay in replays.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Usually it's just a case of highlighting the folder icon 'Alfa33/JJWang' (not the zipfile icon) and it should light up the green 'apply this skin in RSRBR' button at the bottom.Hey guys so I've quickly skinned my Alfa 33 Raptr car. But I can't get it to work with the skin manager. I did a quick google (and RD) search and I've put the skin in a zip folder and it's in Skins/Alfa33/JJWang I have 1 dds (the body map) in the zip folder and that's about it. I can see the JJWang and the Zip archive in the skin manager but I can't get it to apply the skin.
Can anyone help me please?
Planning to race from Round 3 if I get FFB to work. However, I'm only a grade 2, and the plan is to drive in team with Roy. Can I join round three in grade 2, obtain a grade 1 license (If I'm able), then switch to the Fabia, and then the team-racing starts?
EDIT: NVM I managed to get it working. Still not 100% sure what I did wrong but I think i accidentally made it a .rar instead of a .zip and i renamed the dds inside the folder to be "alfa33_external.dds" instead of something else.
But Senad, could you tell me how I would go about making a "scrape" version of the skin please?
Also, the Alfa template I found in Rallyesim (http://forum.rallyesim.fr/viewtopic.php?f=448&t=4707) only has the body and doesn't have the windows. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can skin my own windows for the Alfa?
Hmm OK thanks. If all I need to do is just overlay a crumbled paper and export that to a dds then I think I can do it what's the scrape version for anyway? When you crash I'm assuming? As for the external_transparent file I'll try to find it when I'm on my comp again (posting on Droid). Also I noticed I'm the only one who picked the Alfa... should I be worried?There was a tutorial somewhere, with a simple solution, will try to find a link... I remember it was just a picture of crumpled paper, and that was overlayed over the body. Not a Photoshop expert, so I might have got the terminology wrong.The windows are in external_transparent.dds, you can find that file in /Cars/Alfa33, or in /Skins/Alfa33/Skin_Original
Yup, when you crash . If you don't have one for your skin when you crash, you'd get the default one.Hmm OK thanks.

Ole, you earn a grade 1 license by winning 3 Rally Club Events, and you have already won 2. :wink:
Or you can finish in the top ten in a round and you become grade 1. Two choices, very easy
I would vote for earlier race. Maybe 1 or 2 hour earlier would be nice. But we all have different timezoe so dont know how it would work.
Would it be possible to revisit the whole issue of start times, perhaps with a poll or a thread where competitors can post looking for fellow competitors to run in an unused session but have a different start time for a session.
I have a quick question sorry if this is stupid as I'm super new to RBR. Does setup matter for the n3 cars? I'm not sure how to setup a car for rally but if it doesn't really make a difference then I wont bother. Any insights on n3 setup would be appreciated
Session start times were lifted directly from the Rally Club, where one can request additional start times that suit them. The vast majority of the drivers used the 3 default sessions, and some drivers who have requested extra ones, just requested the same time on another day, so things looked okay.
Also, there is always the issue of a maximum 3 active sessions on rallyesim.
I thought that the Championship times were fixed and that you couldn't request additional ones - I know that it is possible to request alternative ones for the Club rally but that isn't such an issue as there are only 8 stages in the Club events.
Would a request for an additional Championship Session on a Monday at 17:30 GMT be granted (not for this round, perhaps next round) ?

They are fixed, I was referring to the Rally Club start times. People have the option of asking for a time there, and most of them stick with the preset times.
4 extra stages is 20 extra minutes, not that big of a difference, I'd think.
Anyway, I can't see any additional sessions happening; 50+ people, and a maximum of 3 sessions at a time. We'd end up with 20 sessions in the end. A logistical nightmare.
