You don't need to convert the skins from JPG to DDS, you can just download the default templates from here (or from CMX Viewer package) and then save it as a JPG to data/skins.

You can put ur own music to lfs (demo-S2) by placing ogg files(music) to lfs/data/ogg.But how you can change mp3 to ogg??I HAVE ANSWER you just have to download 1 of those hundreds ogg mp3 converters!I linked that 1 what i use! HOPE U ENJOY IT!! and this 2nd 1 if u want make own skins ( i use paint) with this tool you can change it from jpg to dds and it works!
P.S. my computer failed so there is only ogg converter=)

make a backup on ur dds folder BEFORE u install this.

I installed LFS demo a while back, before I knew I was getting S2. Unfortunately, I must have forgotten to check the box for associating LFS with the lfs:// protocol in browser.

I've got a lot of custom DDS files that I've made, and I don't particularly fancy reinstalling because I know I'll lose something. So is there any way of assigning the protocol retrospectively?

The protocol doesn't show up in the list for default programs/protocols.

Thanks!

Hey dudes, i have a great skin for the testalloy4.dds (The XRG Rims).

Here Some Pics...

Quote from WinterDj :

Seriously? Yeah, thats me.. With a keyboard. I hope your'e not messing with me.

Nice knowin ya! BTW, that driving is horrible, and modding LFS cars is not allowed! (other than DDS). Therefore, you will be banned, since that is a VOB mod.

Words of blindness. I'm not optimistic against LFS anymore. Comparing the progress reports as of now, and the one a year before I see no difference. That was useless to say, I was hoping for something new as in 2007 when Y was released, though it didnt come. If you want perfect tire model, then we won't expect any patches released 'till the world is to the end, because it's pretty much impossible. You should just release content with some fresh tire physics, that are being improved by the time, piece by piece. That would surely make the game more exciting and fun, over more realistic physics. I think we are here to play, and entertain ourselves. If you want to be realistic go out to the world and drive something in real life. I think you are afraid of releasing the patch 'cause the community would think that in those well spent 2 years, you won't be able to show up anything to us.

EDIT : In all that time, you could of redone every dds textures to higher resolution.

Inspired in GT5 and Forza Motorsport 3. I was thinking on new Backgrounds and reflections for the LFS Viewer users.

Yeah and in TM its really easy to add new stuff. you get your brush or sticker in a .dds format put it in a rar-archive and add it in the folder of the editor...

there you can add everything you whant, even if nadeo dont like it (like cigerretlabels, or alkohol).
i was wondering if here in tho forums is a good programer that could source it out of trackmania somehow and convert it to lfs...

Round 3 SkinPack Here -> Extract to data\skins_dds

Round 3 TrackAds here -> one file for data\dds, and 7 files for data\pic

Well in that case I guess it would be easier just an additional folder for skins with reflection and exception to how LFS renders skins from that folder.
But the problem is who will be doing it as for now all i know is that Scaven the only one who can do it but i doubt he would spend time on that.

Quote from MAGGOT :

just the coding within the game to read the DDS' alpha channel differently.

I dont quite remember how LFS handle this but somehow i think its download jpg then convert it to tga or dds so if lfs gonna treat dds differently it still messes the game up because the file you downloading is jpg without alpha channel and its being converted to dds or tga which support alpha channel. in the end it will treat skin which was created without alpha as skin with alpha even if there is no reflection layer.
I think i remember this solution from rFactor, if I am right it often resulted in chrome cars and big skin size but if made properly it looked really nice.

Quote from Chupacabras84 :

Actually that sound like a pretty good idea since transparency is not used anyway (Except sun roofs, hood holes etc)
I wonder how it would be during online game since skins of the other players would be converted from, jpg to dds (or tga, cant remember) does it mean the whole stake would be either too dull or too shiny.
To work correctly online it would required change of the skins format, allowed image size, etc.

I think auto-downloaded skins would be fine left as-is (single pre-defined reflectivity) and those of use wishing to play with reflectivity can distribute our skins as dds files on the forums. People who want to view the skins with their intended alpha channels would probably opt to download the skins in their full high-resolution glory anyways, which isn't offered by LFSW (I'm talking 2048+) so I don't think anything needs to change on LFSW, just the coding within the game to read the DDS' alpha channel differently.

I'd like to see a change in the usage of the alpha channel in dds skins. It would be nice to be able to use it to adjust the reflectivity of the skin instead of the transparency. Online skins would simply be as they are now; jpgs, but those who choose to make use of the alpha channel can simply upload the .dds version somewhere to share manually.

I'd really like to be able to play with a matte scheme properly

Hi guys, I was looking for some help with a skin for a competition coming up because I dont have photoshop. To start with, it doesnt have to be highly detailed, basically it needs to be orange mainly, with parts of green/white maybe with this logo
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hp ... 746_4842745_4995971_n.jpg. And to change the window text from Boardman or whatever it is to "Ginetta Ireland"

It is in a .zip file and basically I have changed the .dds files into .jpg for you to edit and i will convert back to dds when they are finished.

The competition is this http://www.facebook.com/pages/ ... ce-Challenge/182038765702 basically I am competing with ginetta on a rFactor competition with all the racing drivers in ireland. Its for the Seat Leon TDI car.

Big big please and thanks and the link to the .zip is here. http://www.mediafire.com/?dsodo5hayjtz6dd

I could be a d*ck and point out that its none of the above, and is actually a dds file...

Dark coloured one is BWoldroad.dds.

E: If you meant the other one.. I`ll find it in a sec.

E2: the other one is BW_cp1.dds

Quote from Inouva :

Did you check the texture have the same size?
did you check correctly the name of the texture?

size shouldnt have a error with update on dds files what i know.. but can be wrong tho..

gonna go over the names on track and see so it match. hopefully thats the fail there if not.. oh well. guess i have something to do today..

replaced the orginal files for westhill-skidpad-AU1.. gone through the blackwood textures for road and replaced thoes. and this is still here.

annyone got a clue what file i missed on editing??
i added Westhill darkroad textures + Goose´s dark skidpad textures and after thoes 2 this is how carpark looks for me.

AU1 is fine so is, WE1 & skidpad. also checked every track and they are fine aswell.
checked over whole dds folder with editor and hasnt found what cause it yet..

anny tips ??

Quote from bunder9999 :

if MBAM can't get it, give sophos anti-rootkit or rootkit revealer a try...

edit: or maybe even combofix.

Combofix isn't for anyone to pick up and use, You have to be at least a expert or intermediate user to use that.

Quote from Racer X NZ :

Try Malwarebytes in safe mode, start in safe mode then install it & update it.
Then run a complete scan.
Remove anything it finds.

Restart in standard mode, run it again. If it's sorted then fine.

If it's still there then try starting in standard mode, admin acct, press alt ctrl del IMMEDIATLY on startup, Task Manager, Kill the viral process when it starts, this may take several attempts, usually it crashes if you hit it with term frequently enough ( Or download and run rkill after hitting alt ctrl del on startup. ) & then run malwarebytes in this mode, you may need to reinstall it, if so, into a different directory.


This should sort it out.

Malware bytes sucks to be honest, You need to go to some forums for computer help, It won't find stuff deeper than it looks, Even with the bought version, I tested it with the " Black internet " ( It makes IE pop up randomly with porn adverts and you hear random sounds ) and a redirection rootkit, As I remember I had a TDDS rootkit, And if you have one of those, You aren't going to find it.

The task manager idea doesn't work as most stuff can swoop off task managers sweep.

RKUnhooker, ESET online scanner ( Might have misspelled that. ) And Combofix, GMER ( Only found on highly advanced tech support ) and DDS. Update adobe reader, Clear your JAVA cache, As well as try HiJackThis ( HJT for short )

But like I said that stuff is only truly found on forums, But if you know what you're doing go for it.

Spend the $50 on an S2 license, and get a free editing program.

http://www.gimp.org/

http://www.getpaint.net/

Out of the two, I use Paint.NET. I have not used Gimp as Paint.NET fulfills my needs currently. I would recommend downloading the DDS plug-in for Paint.NET as this means you can edit the interior textures too. Google "Paint.NET DDS Plug-In" to find it, then follow the installation instructions.

Happy Editing!

Others people's skins are saved in data\skins_x folder in DDS format.

Im not sure if you can just puste them in the skins_dds folder, or you have to convert them to jpg and paste them in skins folder.
Anyway, shouldn't be hard to copy your favourite skins.
