After a discussion with a few of the guys on the server today, I'm looking into updating the team skins if its something you'd all like. As ive noticed theres a few incarnations floating around.
whether I can make individual ones rather than a general team skin per car is something I've still to work out. It may be something that comes later. I'm assuming the blue and yellow colour scheme will have to stay? If anyone has any suggestions for colours, or designs on real race cars that they feel would be a good base for the skins please let me know. Below are a few shots of some skins that I have done so that you have an idea of my (sometimes limited) abilities!
Cheers
Rob (dMr Rob UK)
PS: I've lost the Scirocco skin file in a hard drive swap last year :(

Nice one Rob :thumb: blue and yellow are our colours so should be in the mix and the website address www.deadmen.co.uk (http://www.deadmen.co.uk) somewhere noticeable on each car, other than that feel free to indulge your artistic bent :D.
I found the old generic team skins that Doorman made so I'll upload them all to LFSworld for the time being and if anyone wants to wear them you can download them here: http://www.deadmen.co.uk/dmwfiles/dMr/LFS/LFS skins etc/dMw_skins.rar

This one I like:

If you want the anniversary skull in there somewhere we could provide the image Frenzy did? He has the original files/layers so I am sure colour changes/transparency could be altered if needed.
Feel free to add it on the thread, the more input the better!
Here's my idea so far, feel free to critisize and give ideas. All helps make it a team skin rather than my skin! Not 100% sure on the stripe, might change it to two bonnet stripes with a slightly altered colour scheme.

Or heres that bonnet option I talked about...

Thx Rob, I'll be wearing it tonight :thumb:
Okay, I realize I'm digging up an old thread but this place doesn't see much activity anyways so...
I've been trying to find where I can download the dMr skins so I can wear "the colors" again, but I've been unsuccessful. I still have them up on LFSW, but there's no option to download them again to your computer. So... where do I find them? I've found the .rar file linked to earlier in this thread, but those are just the "anonymous" dMr skins (yellow/blue). I'm looking for my own personal ones, with my name on 'em and everything :)
I have the file here on my comp, but it doesn't have your personal skins in it, I think Ron started to do them individually after a while because the "all in one" skin file was getting too big, the one I have is 200MB.
At the time, Ron was hosting them so they are now gone :(
Doorman checks in regularly so maybe if you p.m. him, he'll still have them somewhere :thumb:
The file's called allskins.rar if you want to search your comp for it, or maybe someone else downloaded everyone else's skins....unlike me.
I've found 16 of your .dds skins on my computer, which I think were downloaded from the LFS World server.:)
I've 3 copies of allskins.rar but they do not contain any of your skins.:sad:
Using a dds viewer on the 16 I found (Includes your helmet!) they all seem OK and I know there are a few free converters to .jpg out there.:sideways:
Okay, thanks for the replies.
I won't have that .rar file on my comp 'cause I've done a clean installation (maybe even multiple) since I was last active in LFS.
@Lameduck: can you send me those .dds files so I can see if I can convert them? Also, do they contain the skin for the MRT? 'Cause that's really the only one I want (for now) :)
Thanks!
ps: I didn't know Ron still checked in here. Last I heard I thought there was some bad blood between him and dMw, for whatever reason. Maybe I'll send him a pm.
Sorry, the MRT is not listed :sad:. Have converted all .dds and attached them to email account.
Hey Guys,
Just to update, sorry ive not completed the "new" skins. Life has taken over at the moment, but I promise I havent forgotten!!
Once my Ford Capri has its V6 cosworth engine fitted ill be using my free hours to do the skins. Not that theres many hours I get!
Hope you guys are enjoying LFS, havent been able to get on it in over a year now.
see you all on track sometime soon.
Rob
Oh yeah, Life... I know that one. She can be a horrible c**t, can't she :D
Whoah, a Capri with a V6 Cosworth? :dribble: I don't think I'd be getting on LFS anymore if I had one of those, lol :flirty:
It's my XRT without the turbo lag :woot2:
