Hi guys... could I please get a render for my next skins release (2 cars)?

Default wheels and Dunlop tyres if possible (yellow lettering), if not, plain tyres. Much appreciated

whoah... that's a close poll!

I voted S2, eassssy. Get a logitech dual analog gamepead for pocket change and have heaps of fun in S2 No wheel doesn't stop you playing all the cool combos with the cool kids - S1 does though!

oops, i take it I voted a bit too late!

Thanks for the exit pit keys scawen!

nice one :P

red bull logo & bull need to be red, and use a white stroke around them (in photoshop, right click a layer and choose blending options). Take care with the blue/yellow joins... it looks messy on the skirting, the colours should meet there.
Hood should be blue but you probably know that

Look forward to the finished skin

very nice skin pdanev!

Quote from Vain :

Great skin. But I'm not a fan of faked brand badges. It's just not an Audi. Have you considered removing the Audi badges and putting a replacement there?
Here's an old non-anti-aliased picture of an example of a rebranded car design.

thanks... Like i've said in this thread, I'm not a fan of it either. That's why I've avoided re-painting the nose to match an audi, and I've made compromises to fit the shape of the FXR when needed. I do, however, want to replicate the livery as close as possible. I can't do that without the large audi graphics... but it's not so bad... some forms of motorsport do this where the car is barely recognisable from it's original anyway, like nascar/stock cars for example.

Another skin of this same car was done with the whole audi kit painted on (and it's done quite well, linked in first post), but I tried to keep it FXR. For example, there was no need for me to add exhaust plating on the sides as per the audi as the FXR already has some. It also only has an exhaust on one side...

Anyways... I've got one person saying add the audi badge, and another saying remove all audi references... I tried the badges and it looks hell ugly on the front, but it works well on the back. So should I release with the rear badge or none at all (the audi decals are staying)?

Fag?(The logo in side view, in left) O_o

hehe don't ask me, that's what the real car has!

Only ekstrom's car has it though, so the homophobes among us can use tomczyk's car (the one with yellow stripes) :P

Quote from ACCAkut :

I would still add the Audi badge to the front and rear, but without the grill

Yeah I've been considering that... maybe I will

All done, pending any changes from suggestions. Please take a look and let me know if anything could be done better, or anything added. Also note that I've decided against making this an audi look-alike skin, so no grill or taillights etc painted on. Edit: just noticed I've nudged a bit of the grey paint on the front right by accident, already fixed.

Quote from Scawen :

Obviously it doesn't download a skin if it's already in your folder.

edit... I was trying to report a bug, why do you dismiss it so easily? I'll test it again later, but I'm not imagining things when I say I had to download the same skin from the previous night's testing, and vice versa for my friend.

thanks. I'll be making them public... I've only spent 3 brief nights on it so far, will finish next week sometime I guess.

Quote from Voided :

Really need to fix that inconsistancy of the striping along your B-pillar. other than that, that's top notch looking, so far

*ninjaedit* ... Actually. That looks akin to the car (s) in the photos, my bad. Cheers mate.

Yeah it just looks different because the FXR has a much curvier surface there - from a perpendicular or rear angle it looks nice and flowing.

I just had a race with a friend of mine in w21 for the second night in a row, and we both had to download the same skins again. Considering I've paid for 6000 skins, am I going to get ripped off here by redownloading them over and over?


also, the shift+p pits thing is a little frustrating but I suppose we'll get used to it. I don't care if it's not as easy to hit - since when should teleporting to the pits be such a reflex command anyway? My main issue now though, is that you can't hit the enter key to exit the pits now - Please give the OK button focus when in pits so the enter key will select it. It's very annoying to have to use the mouse just to hit one button!

Quote from Scawen :

That should only happen if you were driving your own car at the time that driver left the pits, and that car model hasn't already been loaded up before on your computer (normally if that driver is the first one to use that car) - so its textures were not in memory when his car was created.

That is the "pit-out glitch" avoidance, while you are driving it never loads textures from disk, it uses blank textures instead.

yes the guy who took the screenshot was in a FOX, and I had changed to an F08 for the first time.

This is probably planned, but it's a bit of a scare... when a skin is downloading EVERY texture on a car is white, including interior & wheels. See attached.

I'm beginning to think this should be a spinoff discussion and we should leave this for the bugs guys

so dds is bigger yes it has more compression?? how does that work :S

so I imagine there's going to be even less test servers online now Looking forward to patch X.

that problem has been around for quite a few versions and it happens sproadically (for me anyway).

thanks for the help but, like I said, they don't have the same logo. I'll have to recreate the 'racing' part myself. It's not a problem at all, but it was worth asking around whilst I worked on other parts...

step 3... getting there!

I've decided against replicating the grill and badges... though it's been done well elsewhere, I'm not a big fan of 'paint on' parts. It'll just have to keep its FXR front

counter strike got a huge graphics overhaul, did it not?

glad you didn't mention ... oh damn you did.

@#$@

oh and I'd avoid using swearing acronyms in your thread title if you like not being banned

I've done this before but I can't recall exactly how I do it... try the following:

if ded server is on your machine, connect to "127.0.0.1" (or "localhost" will work too I think), no quotes.

OR connect to the local ip of the server not external (eg 192.168.?.?)*

* to find out the ip in windows (of the server computer) go to start->run and type cmd
then in the dos window type ipconfig and it should tell you what your local ip is.

Pretty sure the first one will work anyway.

great skin without looking at the fzr thread, has this bean released yet?
