Hello, I have a problem, I can see my skin in LFS viewer but not in the game, that to make? help me please

Copy your skin from the LFS Viewer's data/skins folder and save it in the LFS/data/skins folder (the LFS Viewer and LFS are two seperate programs - so you need to save the skin in each specific folder).

Hope that helped.

Yes I save it in data / skins, I save it on the place of the model by défault, it is not good?

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand the "I save it on the place of the model by défault" bit.

Did you mean that you saved it as say something like "XXX_DEFAULT.jpg" in the lfs/data/skins folder (where XXX is the car prefix - i.e. XFG_DEFAULT.jpg)?

If that's the case, save it with another name than "DEFAULT.jpg"

Yes I save it under "XRT_DEFAULT" but I have it the others saved under the others name but I cannot see them .. Sorry my English is not good

Click below where the colours are to set a new colour combination, you should be able to select skins then

Skins has to be 1024x1024 to see them in the game? And what size(format)?

Preferably 1024x1024 or higher (ie 2048x2048 / 4096x4096, but other higher/lower sizes should work...)

Do not save files as XXX_Default.jpg

Save them with a unique file name - something like "XFG_jeffbond068.jpg" or "XFG_jeffbond068_1.jpg" etc.

Always save the skins as ".jpg" (not ".jpeg")

Also, have a look in the LFS Manual Skin Tutorial: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Skin_Tutorial

Once the skin is saved in the LFS/data/skins folder as a ".jpg" file with a unique name, as DieKolkrabe said, click on "new colours" in the pits-screen. Then you'll see a list of skins for the selected car - including the skin you just saved...

OK thank you for the explanations but I do not arrive there: (nevertheless it seems to me to have done well everything, I explain :

I use PAINT.net who is free and easy ...

-I do not manage to save skins in JPG, it saves them to in JPEG (*. Jpg; *.jpeg; *.jpe; *.jfif)..Files by default are all in JPEG to me..

In on-line I do not find " my on-line cars-skins" I have nevertheless the license S2.

I reappointed my files by a only name, an example: XRT_S13 tuning1, it is good ?

With the license S2, I have 50 places, it is useless to buy the others, no?

When I click " new colors " without stands, there are only colors by default

It is necessary to have credits lfs to put skins?

Re-open your skin file on PAINT.NET, and this time try saving the file as XRT_S13 tuning1.jpg - type in the ".jpg" at the end of the file name. Hopefully by manually typing in the .jpg extension PAINT.NET will save it as .jpg and not .jpeg.

If that don't work, open the skin file in Microsoft Paint and then go on to save it as XRT_S13 tuning1.jpg

With S2 you get 50 skin-slots. You don't have to buy more - unless you have uploaded 50 skins and need to upload more.

Keep in mind that you don't need to upload the ALL the skins you make. You only have to upload the skins that you want to others to see - when you are using that skin on multiplayer (online racing).

You can find the "my on-line cars-skins" by going to http://www.lfsworld.net/, and logging in with your S2 account and password and then open "my on-line car skins". Now click on "choose file" and then select the XRT skin you made (from where ever you saved it) and then click on "upload skin".

You will get a confirmation when the skin is uploaded.

Hmm... Ok, do a quick check.

Open the LFS/data/skins folder. Is the XRT_S13 tuning1.jpg file there? Remember the file extension need to be .jpg, and not .jpeg (I dont think LFS can recognize and convert the skin if it is .jpeg).

If its not there (or if the format is .jpeg) rename the skin using Paint or PAINT.net as I said earlier and save the skin in /lfs/data/skins folder.

Now open LFS > Go to pits > select the XRT > click on the "new colours" and you should (hopefully) see the "XRT_S13 tuning1" skin on the list.

No, not at all.

Really, its a simple process; getting your skin to LFS and uploading your skin to LFSW is quite easy!

Nothing has to make, I do not manage to convert the JPEG jpg, either with paint.net, or with Microsoft paint..
I could send it to you by e-mail, you try to put it in JPG and I make to see if it is good its the problem?

Attach your skin file as an attachement to your post here in the forum.

I'll have a look in a bit...

Thank you

They're both fine (you can slightly change the white XRT skin name to avoid confusion).

If you simply place them in your LFS/data/skins folder as it is they should show up in-game.

Are you saying that these files are already in the LFS/data/skins folder but they're not showing up on the list when you click on the "new skins" for the XRT?

Just to be sure - you only have one LFS folder, right? If you have several instances of LFS installed you might be saving the skin files in one but launching the LFS.exe from another...

I can't think of anything else why either of skins wouldn't show up... If you download a skin from the the XR finished skins section and save it, can you view it in-game? Maybe someone else will know whats wrong, I'm out of ideas...

Oki, thank you very much.
If they are indeed in the EPA "data" " skins " but it does not post them in the list of the new colors for the XRT..
I am going to try to reinstall games(sets) to see

I made a success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were right I had two file LFS and I saved my skins in the bad!!!
Thank you very much to have helped me!!!!
