I've started to make my own skins,but have run into a problem!
possibly a foulish error i have made;

Now LFS won't start up,windows displays the message:

error
Could not open file:data\skins\FZR_DEFAULT.jpeg

I've checked the data folders and there is no 'jpeg' amongst the files?
what have i done? and is there an easy solution? thanks for any info!

You can try saving the FZR_DEFAULT.jpeg as FZR_DEFAULT.jpg on an graphics editing program (Paint might work!)

Edit: scratch that.

Edit 2: AFAIK, the data/skins/ folder is empty (except for the SKINS_readme file). So the FZR_default.jpeg is a file you've saved. Its odd that you can't find it, but LFS is still trying to recall it... LFS will convert .jpg files in to .dds (LFS uses .dds file as the skin - it can't convert .jpeg files iirc).

Edit 3: I have saved a skin as .jpeg, but I don't get any errors. It just fails to show up in-game.

Edit 4: Found it. Somehow you're missing the FZR_DEFAULT.DDS file from your /lfs/skins_dds folder. Save the following attachment (the .dds file) in your /lfs/skins_dds folder and it should work

PS: I replicated the error by deleting my FBM_default.dds and trying to open LFS
Who knew LFS wouldn't start without the _DEFAULT.DDS files? :P

hey,thanks!the error was my own,started to make skins.
out of desperation i saved all my set ups and skins and uninstalled and re installed!then copied all my files again,but thanks for solving that one!
i will remember that and i've learned from it! thanks very much tho!
