I've just made a skin for the NAGT C6 car but no matter what I convert it to .dds as (DXT1, DXT5, etc) it looks wrong.

DXT1 is what I should be using right? Well when I do that the paint is extremely shiny and you can see the original skin through it and if I use DXT 5 then the colour is less reflective but you can still see the old skin underneath.

Anyone got any idea's as to how I should be doing it?

I've made loads of skins recently for the ILMS mod and never had a problem

Thanks

Tim

I've had the same problem with the NAGT mod when skinning a car. YOu are supposed to use DTX 5, but although I deleted the original alpha channel and put my own, the original livery could still be seen underneath.

I think there must be some info. about the original skin in another file different from the skin ones, but I couldn't get where.

I'll keep an eye on this thread as I', also interested in the answer.

Good luck.

Right, I've had a bit of a fiddle and I think I've got it sussed.

I downloaded the NAGT skin pack from this site and found where the custom skins were installed (something like 'C6_generic\SKINS') then put my .dds (DXT5) file into that folder and it worked.

Weird.

Glad to see you worked it out and thanks for sharing.

So you don't have to place your skin files into a new "SKINS" folder under the original skins folder for that car as usual?

Guys, you can only skin the "Generic" versions of the NAGT cars. The others have separate alpha textures built-in, they can't be skinned the usual way.

Thanks Michael, that explains it all. I was trying to skin one of the non-generic cars.

Maybe this will help you... or here
