Quote from Gutholz :

looks like you installed mods, the steering wheel, center console and some other parts look different.
Maybe some of the modded files were broken?

DDS mods have nothing to do with that.

what happened to it? i really want some dds textures but awesome textures are in lfsdb,rarely. but when i entered it,it was still open,when i had no lfs and looking around what textures i can get. but anyways,why is it down?

Hello to all LFS players!

So i wanna ask a question about a private skin. And how to make it that way only I can have it and nobody can use it on his car.

I am so sick of saw people using my skin, so how can make a skin private?!?!

When i think about it its not a way to make ot because, to see other players game have to download in folder with dds skins, and they copy the file in other folder .. and they have my skin damn.

I wanna make it somehow this file can not use by the other players besice me!

If there is a way to make a private skin, and only i can use it, tell me!

I am sorry for my bad english but i think u understand me.

Have a nice day. And enjoy you game!

Yeah tried that mate, I actually added the files when LFS was closed

Is it a Windows 7 file Protection problem?

The DDS attachment is what my DDS file is
the JPEG is what I see when I load LFS

Firstly I apologise if this has been posted before, I have searched and I cannot find why.

I have recently added new DDS files ( Cromowheel, brake disc's etc etc ) to my DDS folder and when I load LFS, the default ones are showing?

Anybody help me out here why. Yes I overwrote the orginal files, and when I open them is PSP they display the new file

Cheers

I've changed the file
LFS/data/dds/Sky_sunset4_E
but it only works with the reflection in the car. What file I should edit to edit sky?

I've tried to change sunset sky to night sky but only in the car is the sky but real sky is original. The skin I changed is at
LFS/data/dds/Sky_sunset4_E
Is there any way to change how the sky looks?

Hello Everyone

Post Your Live For Speed, How Does Your Live For Speed Lock Like? And If You Have Some Cool Stuff That Shows On Picture Like DDS ex

Have you tried changing the leather pattern in FZ_Texture.dds ?

Your graphic card messed up the DDS textures. It's usually due to temperature. It could be also just a random error at the memory that won't repeat over the time.

I think its a bug
if i want to change the leather pattren in FZleather2.dds it dosent work ... but it does work on XR cars :S am i doing somthing wrong or is this a bug ?

Quote from hereticlohani :

Hello,

are reflections, specularity, glossiness handled numerically through the cfg file alone, or can we edit their maps directly? I don't have LFS on this computer, but I think I saw images that looked like spec maps where LFS was installed (within some sub-folders). I only have LFS Viewer on this computer. I can see images under the maps_info folder that look like attribute maps, but they're in jpg format. They can't be normal maps. What are they, and can we directly edit maps other than the diffuse maps and upload them? This would give us more control in creating skins with variable amounts of everything.

Thanks!

The reflections themselves are .dds textures, while the shininess is decided via cfg.txt as "Car Shine", that can be adjusted from 0.00 to 1.00 with 0.00 meaning the reflections are fully transparent and won't be visible, giving a matte look to anything that uses the reflections.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Objects like ambulances etc. are with restricted shape - you can change only it's appearance (color) by editing dds files,but you cannot change their shape and make helicopter out of a car.

Get some dds converter or plugin and check files from lfs\data\dds yourself,then you will see,what can you edit!

Yeah I use DDS a lot

oh, sorry. Wish u good dds hunting.

Quote from V3-571G :

Please, someone just answer the damn question,

keepleft.dds keepleft.dds
added what i have.

ps; buy S2.

Depending if they got uploaded to LFSW, Vic might have them (if you know who uploaded them). If you know the filename as well, you could:

1) Create a blank file with name of filename
2) Create SPR (or MPR) wearing that skin
3) Delete your skin (from skins and skins_dds)
4) Open that SPR/MPR.

Boom, you should have the skin downloaded to one of your skins folder. It might in DDS, but that's trivial to convert it away.

hmm , very strange i colored the whole area with red and only frame showed up in red , i'll try again . thanks

just a pic of what i done so far on aston old. iam trying to make that endless repetitive road pattren to flow better or make it longer maybe , i dont know ....

as you see on my picture it hardly visible, because it darkened by LFS also reflection effect makes things harder to notice, so you dont get exact color which you used in dds

Quote from shimon-ifraimov :

but its too bad there is no file for the windows, i wanted to make broken windows .

GrnStndATEST.dds (part of; rounded pink in attachement)

Thank you very much for helping , just want to ask , pit2 is also the pit building or only garage walls ? The hills where i have the issue is right after the old pits where the 2 tight corners are . As5

To me it looks like building also

Here is how I do it.

1. Open all textures from this list that look similar to one I'm searching
   
2. Color each texture in a different color (usually some big dots)
   
3. and check in LFS which color are these textures
   

check attachment (AST_pit2.dds have red dots)

+ i have this 2 issues , see in pics .

Not sure where is that taken

Quote :

well, that is up to you to match them

road files are:
GWpitroad1.dds
GWroad1.dds
GWroad1BUMP.dds
(... all I think)

There are already some Aston hi-res textures

BTW List of files I posted all all accessed files with loading specific track, so I belive thats all that is used on Aston

This is what I get for AS3+BF1

Quote from Flame CZE :

Unfortunately, it’s not possible, because the XRG wheel has got only one small repeating pattern of leather.

what is the pattern DDS name?
