Hey guys, has anyone else had trouble skinning the GT500? I can't get mine to show up in game. When I go into the tuning menu I can select the "xxxxx_alt" livery that I have painted and inserted into the directory the game created, but the cars livery doesn't change, so I am still just looking at the default skin rather than my skin. I am doing the same thing I have done for every other skin I have painted, just not getting the same results  |

Mine worked ok once I put it together with windscreen file in a mas file I'm guessing they are also in templates folder that I don't seem to have. If they are can you post those up to please? What are the naming conventions for this particular car to get the .mas to generate correctly? |

I have re-installed the car and netted myself a templates folder and I see that there are no window files. Now I'm really confused.

Thanks for the help Cambo, my skin is working now. I am assuming it had something to do with my initial download of the car.
Now I'm getting mismatches with the sever and it won't auto download the files. It goes straight past the launcher and into the game, downloads the rfmod, gives me an error that it can't download the mod and suggests I try a manual install. I have tried unsubscribing, deleting and re-downloading from the server. Unfortunately it won't let me pull the content from there. Not really sure what to do now.

Got it working with some help from Cambo.

Chris others are likely to run into the same problems you had so a quick synopsis of how you got your skin to work might be good for others to read.
I know I had to delete the SRA mod and get my skin working in the base mod before re-downloading the SRA mod and installing my skin mas file into the SRA directory.
This mod and template are a bitch I am really disappointed in 397's effort for this new template process.
The wireframe is useless unless making some setup changes opacity has to be changed to 100% from the 11% it is set at. I got this help from DR Painter on 397 forums.
The template has been poorly constructed from what is supposed to be from professionals.

I had to do the same as you, deleted the server version and re-downloaded from the workshop to get skin view-able so I could work on it. Then I had ended up sending Cambo my .dds file and he made it into a .mas that I plonked into the car file with the correct tyres. |

Ok, so whats the go, I had my skin showing up in the game just as an alt skin but now after going into the server and getting the SRA version from the server, cant get anything to show up, has the option to select the skin I named but it just wont reload , stays the standard skin, any clues.
I just upgraded my pc, had to fucking get on to Microsoft to reactivate windows, then the game wouldn't fire up, had to log out of steam then log back in again and now after spending days making a skin lol, now it wont show up. fuck me lol.

Found a link to three skins on race department if anyone is keen, there is only three and two of them are essentially the same with different numbers. Still would be nice to see a little more variety in the grid. www.racedepartment.com/downloads/nissan-gt500-rjn-motorsports-22-35-80.13755/I also had some luck by unpacking these .mas files and think I have figured out the issues with the windscreen banner on this car. I essentially used their naming conventions and stole the banner they had created and put it into my .mas file then repackaged it all. Probably won't know if it's worked till Monday. |
