Is there still a link to the old skin pack? I plan on running the same skins as the last two series.Found it. If you want to use your old skin from the last two seasons and need the skin pack it is located in the downloads here>> gbr.proboards.com/post/68268/thread |

How long again do I have to give you my paint?
Also if anyone can give me some tips on exporting my paint. I understand how to export the dds file with the correct format. I’ve done all the “photoshop work” of making my car. But when I export the dds it’s just a blank car. Like I can open the dds files of other peoples cars and see a faint image of their paint, mine is blank. I’m sure I’m missing something.

I will take a look at my skins this weekend and send you a PM with what I find. It's been a while since I've done one so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details.
If you could get your skin completed by November 4th that would be great.

I don't have Oulton Park International. Is there a way to get it without buying that Brit Pack?

Sounds like it may be coming out a bit shiny if it looks all white. Need to darken the Alpha a bit, and don't forget to make your .veh file to send with it when done. If you're not sure about the Alpha and or the veh you can zip up your file and link it to me and I can take a look at it and make your veh while I'm at it. If you go this direction, I need your paint file still in layers, do not flatten the image, if you do, the Alpha will be fixed to it and not changeable. As a rule, I never flatten the image before exporting to .dds. |

As a rule, I never flatten the image before exporting to .dds. I’m pretty sure I’ve got it all sorted out now. The issue I was having was that I didn’t realize you had to merge the layers together before exporting. So I was selecting the top layer in my project (the AO layer that provides the shadows) and exporting only that layer as a DDS. Now I’ve got it sorted out. I’ve also got the alpha layer figured out and my car is not stupid shiny anymore. I also have my .veh setup correctly. So I think I’m all set. Thank you! |

Well, if it's good 2 go, zip or rar it up and give us a link so we can add it to the download for everyone else to get it. And just FYI, you do not have to merge the layers to export to dds, I never do, that way I can go back and change things if I want later in the layers. |

I think with gimp you do have to merge the layers.

Yea you do. But it’s not a permanent thing. You don’t have to flatten them. You “create from visible” which basically flattens all layers but adds the finished product to a new layer that you can then mess with alpha layers and all that, but it keeps your project in tact. And I I should be done by this weekend. Putting the finishing touches on my car, and then I need to make Hunters.

Ok fellas I'm in. I have never been very good at tuning V8's but not being very good has never stopped me from racing before. I don't have a custom skin if that's Ok I will use the no. 10 Amber Racing(Wife's name is Amber) or I will confiscate a custom one if the owner fails to run this series. Although I hope they all do.

You don't have to have a custom skin so you can choose one that comes with AMS. As far as being good with V8's or not that really doesn't matter to us. I know I still struggle with these beasts so having more people on the grid might mean more battles for me and others that aren't leading the pack. Just come out and have fun!
