Can't get skins to shw up...
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Secondly, yeah. I can't get any of the skins I downloaded for the FBM to show up. I put them in my data/skins folder, then when I go to the car and click add new colours, all it shows is the default skins. What am I doing wrong?

Hi. Two things come to mind. Did you save the skin with the proper prefix? Did you save it as a .jpg?

i.e. If the skin is called BMW_Mpower, make sure you save the skin in .../lfs/data/skins as "FBM_BMW_Mpower.jpg". The prefix "FBM_" or "XFG_" or "XRG_" is required for the skin to show up in-game. Always save the image (skin) as a .jpg (I'm not sure, but I dont think it works when its saved as .jpeg).

I might have missed something, have a look in here. The whole LFS Manual is quite interesting/useful

Hope it helped.
They are saved as a jpeg and they all have the proper prefix (FBM_)

The weird thing is, the setup I downloaded also doesn't show up. I'm assuming one of two things:

1. I should reinstall

2. The FBM prefix changed.

Would any of those things be the problem?
I'm pretty sure that the prefix has always been "FBM" so number 2 is out of the question.
I figured out the problem and now I feel stupid >_<

I've been using a desktop shortcut to play LFS, and I had a LFS folder in my My Games Folder where I put my skins and stuff. Thing is, the shortcut wasfrom another LFS folder in my C Drive >_<

So all my skins go there :P. Thank you for trying to help anyways!
