bama1234 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 is there a spific tool you use to make it look glosy and shiny. Also once you finish a skin what do you do to convert it back to the new skin for the 3d unit?Thanks for the help, Jab16No, there is not a specific tool, the cars just come that way. When I finish a skin I save it as jpeg and use DDS Converter 2 to convert it to .dds. Then I replace the old skin with the new in the LA Mod directory. I.E.

Paramedic_Engine_2 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks for the tips; however I am not doing models yet, only skins. But I might get to that eventually. Its good to know I can ask someone if I have any questions, so thanks. And those are some good pictures, by the way. Thanks for the links.I am currently re-skinning the USAR to look like the Res5cue truck, let you know when that's done. Bama1234NYCSubModYes, I do use paint. Most people use photoshop, etc. But I think paint is easier when it comes to skinning. I only use photoshop for the details. Bama1234NYCSubModcool bro, look forward to help you out.

bama1234 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 how do i upload them when i try and cut and paste it wont let me. I am done with a nypd suv and esu truck you inspired me At the bottom left of the text box (outside the text box) there are 2 buttons, one says browse the other says upload. The upload button is green. Hit "browse" and select the JPEG picture (make sure not the BMP, that wont work) Then hit "Upload". Once it has uploaded, right above the upload button there is a box that says Manage Current Attachments. Click that, it will come down, and then hit the little paper button with the green plus sign that adds the attachment. That should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bama1234 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 are you also gonna make something like aways traffic stuck?It might be possible, but mostly unlikely. The game's flow of traffic is difficult to modify due to bugs and glitches. I will, however, change the map up a little to look more like NYC.
