Yikes, 20th and 21st in practice for VSM. Hope it's better in qualifying. I got me a good setup for this!

Well, I think Mortal should contact fast Alonso (he's really fast today 
) then hehe 
) then hehe I used a normal wad that I updated manually and still got the car like I took the screenshot of it...

Yeah, I've sent a PM to him earlier today.
BTW, my comment wasnt a dig at anyone for not making it work.
LOL, I couldnt have made it work myself, didnt even know that lods had to be renamed via gp4 builder.
Just pointed out that it worked for one.
Rob said that he deleted the files after he took screens, but that he didn't change anything from the pack. It worked immediately for him.
Kev, maybe the first pack - that you sent to fast alonso- was different?

Well, you start up GP4Builder and open up car_team_carx_lod_x.gp4 and then go to "Tools" and then "Rename Textures". There will always be 2 textures there called CARLIGHTMAPCH2.TEX and CARLIGHTMAPCH3.TEX, these must be there if it's a car. Besides those 2 there will be more textures, but that depends on the car. For the VSM car there will be the textures Carbon.TGA and VSM.TGA. Normal textures must have .TGA behind it. When you have the hi_VSM.tex, Carbon.tex and the .gp4 files inside your cars.wad the car will work fine. The "hi_" is never in the name in GP4Builder, or the texture in the wad is called hi_hi_VSM.tex When the car is showing up white ingame, then the name of the texture in the cars.wad is different from the name inside GP4Builder. So you go to the rename textures menu and you find out that the name of the texture in GP4Builder is not what you want, it's called VSM_GPGSL.TGA and you want VSM.TGA (this is just an example). So you remove the _GPGSL part and press Apply. Then you save the .gp4 and do it whit all the other lods. If you don't understand, tell me and I'll explain it to you via screenshots
Now lets get the VSM car fixed and lets go

Thanks for the expertize, Stefan, but I don't have GP4 builder(and obviously don't use it otherwise)
Maybe I will someday.
I did think that "manually" renaming lod files,tex to synchronize it with config settings and team folder name (within the CSM mod ) would be enough, but obviously not. I get the gp4builder concept you explained.
I wasn't aware of this tool, or its role/procedure when it comes to making cars (work ingame),that is.
Anyway, yeah, let's get it fixed and put the show on the road.

The globalvars is correct, trust me.
TSS has arrived in Germany, but will not be running, files rec'vd are one tex and cars1 & 2 lod0 only. Car is white. I'll need working files, same for VSM. Until then, no Hock session.

Mal, I found out that the Vars aren't the problem after I posted that message. I checked it on my system and I got the same problem as you guys. The problem is that TGA file that was saved was a different internal version compared to the PSD so it didn't show up
If i get the PSD of VSM and Kev's helmet, it's all good

The PSD is in the original upload by Kev. I think I need a full set of lods for TSS as well.

I'm looking at TSS now and will be at the VSM very soon.
TSS Sorted
File is sent and hopefully soon ready!
I´m really sorry for all the trouble, but I´m not very good at doing these things. I can paint that´s all...and in three cars that I´ve painted this year for the series there had to be one mistake :P nothing really comes without any kind of trouble, but sorry again!
Hopefully it`s all good now and we can concentrate on the race
