Does anyone know where there is a tutorial for being able to make it possible to select alternate schemes for cars in rFactor?

I've seen plenty of mods were you can select alternate paint schemes inside rF, but I can't find a tutorial on how they have to be coded in so you can actually see/select them. I'm thinking it's part of the XXXupgrades.ini file for each car base model, but I'm not sure...was wondering if it was something that was controlled by the .veh file for each car instead, since they can be tailored for each car. My current install doesn't have a mod that has multiple paint schemes for a car, so I can't dig into the structure that way to find out.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Make a folder called Skins inside the car directory. Place your texture in there and it should work.

Thanks, Coutie....works like a charm, appreciate it! notworthy

I'm guessing I'll have to make .txt files for each scheme, too so there's a description of the scheme(s) in the Information Box. Off to Notepad I go.

Yeah, I think you just name it the same as the texture file.

Yep...and just place it in the Skins folder....again, many thanks Coutie! Just wish I could make driver suits and helmets scheme specific as well.
