bottom option, put credit on your account.

Just a one pound credit to your account on LFS.net and enable the option in game.

[EDIT] Gah, beaten!

£1? You have to put a minimum of £3 in :P

Thanks for the speedy replies guys, and there all nice too

Figured I'd give it a shot too. For anyone else having a Frank Spencer moment, don't forget to log in to the web page itself (top right-hand corner) first as otherwise the "add credit to your account" won't appear.

5 quid in, hi-res skins here we come...

Rakhsh

Okay, now. I went and dumped in 3 pounds to my account. Then I went and enabled the option for 1024 skins use, and got a message about how you need money in your account to activate, etc.

What do I do after that? I just went and tried online and then single player, returning to my web account details to see if I had one less pound.

But I'm still at 3 pounds.

How do I go about getting or using these high-resoltuion skins?

Thanks,

Alan

I also paid the 3 £ today (before seeing this thread) and I'm glad I did. It makes a big difference.

Got no problem activating the 1024 skins option in LFS, here, and my credit is now 2 £.

You just have to enable the option.

Okay, so I did enable the car skins download to 1024. The only thing is that I still get this on my account page:

Edit: I didn't have the helmet 512 enabled. I thought that was something separate which incured a separate cost.

All is fine and it shows on my account that I've used something.

One more question, though. The skins I already have-- are they converted to 1024? I went online to a server, just to see. Now my account page reads:



Does the number at "1" now go up each time I get a skin? I'm just a bit uncertain about how this works and how the skins are downloaded.


Thanks,

Alan

It said when I done it...

£1 will be deducted from your account when you first upload a skin...

I guess it does it at the start of every 2000.

Do the current skins I have in my folder stay low res, or do I redownload them at high res?

Speaking of which, since when can you upload 48 skins?

I was thinking the same thing...

No, it will not convert the 512² skins into 1024². If you want that to happen, you have to delete the skins first and let LFS redownload them everytime someone is using one of the skins online.

nah, only if memory is a problem. a 128MB+ graphics card will cope with ease.
