Car Skin issues

[lamer of fortune]

Hi all,

it was fun to get started on car skins but now it starts to become a hassle.
I have managed to do skins for the F2 but I struggle with the BT20.
I save as DDS, i can see it i the tuning area, i create a new player, ican select the new payer but when i go on the server and select the car there i get booted as I am not passing the vehicle filters.
I flattened t he file and saved as dxt1. i was only adding layers to the paint here area, this was causing issues earlier on.,

anyone any idea what might be the problem?

I attach my file

Thanks for your help
Tobias

Tobias try to keep the name of the dds file short.
There is a limit to the letters you can use, if I remember that was 12 so problems you had, maybe was because of this.

Also, when somebody downloaded your skin automatically at the server, when you revise it and save it with the same name, he will keep looking at your previous version, so you always must save with a different name (just in case you didnt know).

P.S. just moved this to Modding section.

Have anyone successfully made a driver and/or helmet for the new BT20?

Because it's a new driver and helmet my old ones looks very strange, so I decided to get the new driver and helmet from BT20 mas file and made my own templates.

However, the new ones won't show up in game. I have tried to pack them all into a MAS file like I always do, but it won't work. The files are named RIK6ALT, RIK6ALT_driver and RIK6ALT_helmet and are all packed into a MAS file called RIK6ALT.mas but only the skin want to show up in game. Why won't it work anymore? I've been away from rf2 for too long it seems...

The strange thing is that the old MAS worked, and the only difference was that all files was named 5 instead of 6. Really strange...

Remove the _ from all file names.
