TM-FORUM

It took me a about 5 hours , and i finaly managed to mask all the Stadium Car Parts , so from now on , guys , You gonna have just to select a layer and colour it.....there are about 30 layers.(HIDE/UNHIDE to make sure what's what)
How to save as dds , and inport to your game , there are millions of topics

Cheers and happy skinning

It would feel nice to see some feedback about your satisfaction

Thanks to KingLevel who made some order in the layers and foldered them nicely !!!

You legend, if only I had this when I was trying to skin one. Now all I need to do is work out layers on gimp.

Thanx Herrick..... I hope u like it........ SPREAD THE WORD lol

You dint sort the layers in folders, so i did it: http://www.gotlandssvets.se/UCODfiler/StadiumCar.rar

well...... i atleast placed them in some logic order.. (my logic lol )



BTW u did an excelent work with folders..... i wanted to do that though but i gave up for some reasons only known to me

BEWARE..... in the Wings folder the Tailwing is excidentily hidden....... anyway...... check all the layers are they visible... dont get confused...... all the parts are there

yeee. I can make mistakes to ^^

I'm quite happy with how mine works but 30 layers? Sounds like you put a lot of work into working out what does what.

I think I might dl it anyway, will definitely be useful.

Did you name the layers, to match what they change?

Yep in Gimp the layer name will appear at the bottom of the window.

??? the layer names form PS dont appear in gimp???
because i named them though???

They do appear.

That's cool! Thanks man!

What are you supposed to do with the file after you edited it? You save it to .dds but where do you have to put the file so others can see it? In Trackmania\Gamedata\Painter\Layers\StadiumCar\PreLight or am I then way off? Now when I play my car is just plain grey.. So I''m doing something wrong

If you are using flash layers you'll have to render it by the flatten image command.
And then you will have to save it as a car.
I don't have TMN here right now.
But look for a folder with every nation as a zip file, SWE.zip ENG.zip etc..
Open some of them and take a look and you will understand the system. =)

Still in the process of trying to render the Details.dds file in a way that I can figure out what part of that image does what.

xD

And I thought modelling the Diffuse file was hard.

What are the best settings to save it to .DDS? Still haven't figured it out yet. But I'll keep trying.. saved it to .dds, put it in a zip file with an icon.dds but it's still grey when it comes up in the game after I selected it.
