I have a question guys.

I have downloaded a skin ,
http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/Citr...in%20McRae.jpg

,i like that type of xsara skin, not the blue kronos skin, but he problem is, this skin is for mitshubishi, but i need that skin to seat cordoba.
Can i put this skin to the seat?

Yes, you just rename the first 3 characters of the file name.

Eg - Replacing Mitsubishi Lancer ((mit) - (Lancer Alt.1 = ma1, Lancer Alt.2 = ma2, Road Car = ma3))

mita1.bfl -> seaa1.bfl
mita1N.bfl -> seaa1N.bfl

And any other files beginning with "mit" (or "ma1, ma2, ma3") change to "sea"

Thanks, i thought that is more complicated

But im happy

Im still trying the photoshop, but its so difficult to put just a name on to the rear window

It was weird for me in the Impreza 03 - I found the file, then took a square of the clear window, put it over the existing name (solberg/mills) and typed my own.

You have to modify files ***glodf, ***glod2 and ***glod3. Don't forget in each file go to channels and modify alpha channel as well.

Yesterday i made a name and a hungarian flag to seat, but i didnt see it in the game, in addition the body got a bit malformed

...maybe next time

I never modify the alpha channel, just edit the skin in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, save it in .PNG format (this preserves the tranparency of windows), and then re-pack into .BFL again..

I had started without modifying the alpha channel as well, but there was still visible the shadow of previous name on the window. If you modify the clear window, there is no problem at all.

I never saw those shadow, but there is some low-rez, small sized files in the .fbl file that contain images of the windows, with the original graphics (flags, drivers names). They have given me a hard time now and then!

You can see the shadow for ex. on originally Focus99. The names on left window are listed McRae Grist, but alpha channel is Grist McRae. Put the afglodf file to Photoshop and can see in channels level what's wrong.
