Uploading skins - Lawrence Nelson - 05-06-2020

How do you actually upload the skins to the server?
My paint work shows up in the showroom, but not during the SRS races.
Is it done with the SRS skin app at the beginning of the race, same time as you download?
The app says I am not using a custom skin and I am, of course.

Thanks!

2048x2048 file size and I use DXT1 format but I've used DXT3 and DXT5 before and the file sizes are fine.

Might have to delete things like driving suit/gloves DDS files.

If you have a separate decals file you might have to make that part of the body DDS file.

There's a resize function in Gimp that does the trick!
Thanks for the help! Everyone.  Smile
