Sorry to bother about this as I'm new to making skins for AMS. I'm having a strange problem where the extra bits (e.g.: Windshield, glass, gloves etc.) won't show up in game. I've attached a few screenshots of the folder structure, veh file and what it looks like in game so far. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Your extra textures need the Cooper28 prefix, e.g. "Cooper28Driver.dds".

IMPORTANT!

With the arrival of our sponsor for the league a few changes have been made on the skin template.
Windows have now the Extreme Simracing logo and the body has a mandatory RD number plate.
Please do not change or move anything.
Skin Template v1.1 is released now and can be found in the first post of this thread.
New example picture posted.

Thanks and Happy Skinning

I'm trying to practice to the event, but I'm a little confused about matching the server settings...in particular, ABS. It says "Anti-Lock Braking: Yes" above, but in the AMS game settings (not the car setup page), should I set this to Low, High or Off? I'm not quite sure if off means ABS will be used only if the car in question has it available or it means totally off, regardless of car. If it's the latter, do I set ABS to Low or High (again, in the game menu, not in the car setup page)?

Hi guys. I have no skinning experience and not sure where to start.
Are there any free programs that can be used for this and any tips for getting a quick and nasty skin together for a newbie?

 

[Hailstorm BLX]

@Celtic Pharaoh & @Kresh the alpha layer must be edited too to make the numbers visible. I can take a look maybe tonight or tomorrow if you need help, just gimme a shout

It's ABS - Low for the Mini.

Guys this might help.
I've posted a tutorial link in the first post at the bottom for creating your window textures.
Have a look

If your looking for a livery creater have a look in the AMS skin section. PM talented skinners with a few guidelines what you want (color sheme) and the link for the template.
I'm sure they love to help you out.

Yes you're right. You have to select Numbers and Names and fill the selected parts with white color in the alpha channel.

Alpha channel should look like this ...
