OK, Im probably missing something really obvious here. But Im ill with a nasty bout of flu so gimme a break!

The issue: Im really keen to get busy making skins, having done similar in There.com and Second Life. So I've made myself a simple helmet design just to check I can get it all working. Alas, I can't! I've uploaded the skin into the LFS World browser and it's now listed in "My Online car skins". However, when I go to apply the skin to a helmet in game, it isn't listed. I've read through the tutorial and have not found the relevant information. Im a S2 licence holder.

Also, how do I apply the skin into the viewer?

Any help would be much appreciated

Ty in advance, XjonX

Did you put in your skins folder?

Thanks for the prompt reply, Niall09!
OK, I think I probably havn't. Now, being a flu ridden (Im milking this ain't I? LOL) newb to LFS. Where is this folder and how do I add to it?

Thanks again :o)

it is in your lfs directory \data\skins (C:\lfs\data\skins for example)

OK, just an update. Finally cracked the skinning issue and Im now working on a personal skin before i venture into others that my fellow rtacers my want. Thanks to niall09 and troy for their assistance :-)

i hate man-flu. women have no clue what it's like!!!!!!

LOL, I swear that us men really do suffer worse than women when it comes to Flu/colds. Glad to say I appear to be on the mend now, just in time to return to work (oh great!)

Back to skinning then...

I was wondering....the little details like the door seals and panel joins....do I need to repaint them in or are they a permanant, non eraseable part of the templates?

alot of people use paintshop pro to skin and thus work in layers. i prefere corel draw and i don't use layers. but to answer your question. no you do not need to "re-draw" them as they are part of the cmx (car)

If your graphic software can open .psd files you should use Buntas skin kits

awesome! I use PS7 which does indeed work in .psd files!
