Hi all,

I'm a total beginner at this skinning lark and I'm currently attempting a 2006 Alfa Romeo 156 GTA. The bodywork is pretty much finished but I'm having major problems with the windows.

After much head-scratching on why my windows and especially headlights were looking a bit weird, it turns out the windows .psd file supplied with the in-game GTA template pack is in fact for the newer version of the 156. Does anyone know where I can get the proper template for the GTA windows? I've looked everywhere to no avail :(
I know it must exist because the in-game GTA's look fine....

thanks in advance,
Des
 
Des I'll check mine tonight. I know that on the render below, mine looks a bit funny as you've noted. Can't recall whether it's ok in game.

I guess that as its only the headlamps, it's probably an easy fix even of there isn't one.

Cheers for that Michael. I had to do a bit of messing about with the rear lights to get them to fit but all good now.

If anyone is interested here's the finished article - my first ever skin and my first ever go with photoshop...

Hi

I have made some skins for my friends and I, but...
Is it possible to lock the cars so the in-game bots don't use them?
It's not much fun you make a skin, only to discover that a bot is using the same car...

EDIT: I am talking about the PC expansion for "Race 07" called "STCC - The Game"
 
No probs :) It's in the forum's description:

GTR Evolution Unofficial forum for RACE, RACE 07, GTR Evolution, STCC and RACE On by SimBin

Now lets hope somebody has an answer for you :)
 
I have 598 custom skin .ini files and that would mean even more actual skins... But... If I have just one GT Pro custom skin in the customskins folder it still crashes...

Escort mod installed?

lol, this again....

this happens for me without the escort mod... with stock skins on stock tracks... i don't think it's anything to do with number of skins, physical layout of the files or anything else... i think it's a bug they introduced into the car viewer when they smoothed the rotation in one of the previous updates...

I had the same problem as you, but once I removed the Escort mod it worked completely fine. That's the only fix I've found for the problem so far.

hmmmz, well for me it's totally random... like i said, stock everything, no customskins, no mods.... i can click 50 times and nothing happens.... i try it another time and it's dead and dumped in 3....

hopefully simbin already know what it is and will fix it when race on appears.

if/when it ever does.

Since I wrote most of the Escort Mod yes!

But I have tested this with no mods installed and no Add-on tracks and it's been happening since 31st May 2009 (worked on the 30th May, day be for a race I had, then couldn't load game on race-day with any skins). Under 3 versions of windows and multiple video drivers. Fresh installs both OS and Game...

Hehe, thought you would have it installed. It caused a few problems with my game minidumping when I selected a skin, deleted it and I can select any skin now.

Sounds like you have a similar problem to Andrew, not sure how to fix that.
