Reason why it is later accepted is because there is no alternative, still W95 would run much faster everything with my current hardware and if we would put some work to it, then it would have all features new versions have just it would work faster, unless it would be filled with bloatware.

w95 was bad because games did run much slower in it than what they did in DOS, again eventually everyone was forced to spend lot of money to hardware.

From gamer perspective DOS still would be pretty much enough, it would just be needed bit more work from game developers as they would need to build support for hardware, maybe bit upgraded DOS version and it would be enough for playing games.

Windows would be just fine for other work stuff and everything related for that.

As long as people will act such way as they have done before there is no real evolution in operating systems and this loop of DO LOOP new SW THEN new HW will continue it's insanity.

and that told you who that its more secure? Microsoft?

actually it is more secure now that ms has made an effort to not force you to be logged on as root all the time
however most windows programs require root priviliges to run flawlessly which makes the whole deal problematic to say the least ... this is not microsofts fault though

old thread, but i dont want to start a new one...i have a gaming comp that has no internet...so i have to flashdrive everything to it. lfs works as demo, but i am missing all of the skin files, so i cant make skins. my moms comp is vista with internet. i want to make a custom skin, so i asked for the files. they diddnt work. so i tried installing lfs on this and just deleting everything except for the skin files (worth a shot :shrug it installed, after a while, and then it was time for extracting. another while later, it finished...











NOWHERE TO BE f-----king found =( this makes me pissed, i have tried the downloads folder, searching, everything. it is nowhere!!

Hi i know ill sound like a noob but you said you have a gaming comp with no skins in the skin folder right?

and you cant download a skin from lfs and put it in your skin folder on your computer or edit the default dds one?

sorry but i dont understand your post it confusses me, So do u want a skin or are you saying somethings wrong with lfs on your computer sorry for my noobness.

my fault for my bad posting skills, i was really tired when i wrote it . if you have a solution to my gaming computer issues than please help, and i have the files, they are just "windows is unable to open these files, do you wish to find where these files came from" or something like that. and the same thing happens with a flash-drive. so i tried downloading the whole game to my moms vista. everything went fine, started extracting and all that stuff. then it finished. I could not find it ANYWHERE. i was going to just delete everything except the folders for skins, and maybe setups and stuff. yes that is how much time i have on my hands

Still not fully understanding.

Extract the game again but this time make a note of where you've extracted it to. Could just search for the lfs.exe.

I don't think the current LFS version has the default skins as jpg anymore, they are all dds. If you want the default white skins as jpg you need to download the CMX viewer or look in the skins section as they might be there.

doing it as we speak

extracting in slow motion of corse because it is vista

C:\Users\Michelle\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8205OAQZ\

o great now this is all i see for until i press close

it must know i am keeping track of where i put it >=(

im running vista and it just works fine....try winrar...

Sounds like you're clicking 'open' instead of 'save as' on the download dialog box (or IE's security settings are dangerous and just opens it without asking... if that's the case, check your security settings or get a better browser like Firefox, Opera or Chrome). Save it to somewhere sensible (Documents\Downloads or c:\Downloads etc), then open and extract the archive.

Files stored in temporary internet files get deleted when IE has finished with them, hence the name and is probaly whats causing the trouble.

If it still doesn't work, download winrar (http://www.rarlab.com/) as mentioned above.

PROBLEM is SOLVED!! you are right i dont click save as, it wont work like that either, i had to get 7 zip to get it, and i found files (somehow) anyway! the problem is i spent 5 hours doing a skin for a car i cant use

If you happened to do an XRT skin then it will work on an XRG, its just that some of the shadowing and body lines wont be quite right. Still works tho.

REALLY? you dont even know how happy that makes me!

Yeah, it looks pretty much perfect, i doubt you would even tell TBH.

i just hope i can figure out how the heck to save it to my skins , and change the format of it.

Easy!

Make sure that the file is the right resolution, (i use 1024x1024px) and it needs to be saved as a JPG in the LFS/data/skins folder.

Make sure to name the file correctly aswell, or LFS wont find it to convert it, as it does the conversion to DDS itself.

The way to name the file is like this, car abbreviation then an underscore, then your chosen came, so for example, if you're doing an XRG skin then you're name would be XRG_logiketg25.jpg

You can call it whatever you like, just make sure the XRG_ part is there.

Yeah, you wont lose any skins when you get a license, plus you can copy the file and rename the first bit XRT_ so you can have it on an XRT as well!
