how this works

Basically, it's a simple way to make custom cars without needing Photoshop and a wireframe. Just gives you a template to work from to see where sponsors would/can go. You can load it in paint.net if you have the .dds plugin.

OK thank you

How does one get that file into the game and useable? I've always wanted to do this, but the need for Photoshop knowledge has always stopped me. If this works the way I think it will, thank you SO much!

Hi mate. I think at some point I'll make a video guide. It's the weekend and I'm out and busy so I can't help much in the short term.
But what I'd suggest is downloading EGO ERP Archiver, the. dds plugin for paint.net and that's all you'll need.

Look up some YouTube guides for EGO ERP Archiver manual method, it'll teach you how to overwrite a pre-existing livery and save the mipmaps.. (it's a bit complicated but once you understand it, it's a breeze!)
Like I say, things will make more sense once I make a video guide so rest easy knowing you will be able to do it soon!

Oh also, make sure you save your dds file on paint.net using the same settings I attached in my file
