Creating Skins Guideline

Skinning guide by RBDK: http://www.mediafire.com/view/c3acpw9cux8b5bs/RBDKs+Skinning+Guide.pdf

1. Download these templates

2. In the package, open the readme to figure out how to create your skin

3. Make sure to use the right DXT formats:

  • Body, glass, cockpit - DXT5
  • Driver suit, helmet - DXT1

4. Important! Please make the following changes to your .veh file:

  • Set your category line to Category="/OVGSC/"
  • Set your description line to Description="(YOUR TEAM NAME) #(YOUR CAR NUMBER)"
  • The standard GSCE UI cannot handle more than three cars per team. If your team has more than this, please change the extra skins .veh files "Team=" line and "FullTeamName=" line to read "(your team name) 2"
  • Please ensure your pitgroup line matches the pitgroup number you were assigned on the google doc.
  • Only send the team folder. Your skins do not need to be packaged in "GameData/blablabla..."
  • Please ensure all skins for a given team are sent in a single team folder.


Check the example .veh below to make sure your .veh file is formatted correctly. Lines in bold are required modifications unless specifically noted otherwise.
