Also, go to NoGrip's download section and dowload these files :

- GEditor (enables you to open .gtl files) : http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=1863

- .CAR files (.car files in game are encrypted, you can open and edit these ones with notepad) : http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=879

Then, in order to know how to do, you should have a look there : http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=252501

Any photo design softawre like Photoshop or The Gimp (freeware).

Also here is a tip : Google! type "open TGA" and you'll see. Same for seeking a link to The Gimp. How do you think I got all the info when I started skinning? I searched in forums and in Google.... ;)

You need the nVidia plugin to open DDS files. It's in the links....

[HC DAHL]

It didnt work on my computer, most lightly i have done something wrong(again):p but how can i make those dds files work with, the tga files so i can make my car?

im sorry bothering you i really start to be a pain in ass no:p...

[sharpo]

Does your graphics card have to be an nVidia card for this to work.

I used the nVidia DDS plugin for photoshop and it works but I have an nVidia card.

Just a thought.

Nothing to do with nVidia cards I guess, as it is just a pluggin for image files. DDS isn't a nVidia format as far as I know :confused:

To open a DDS, open Photoshop first (assuming the pluggin has been installed of course). Then when in Photoshop, load you file. Hope you'll sort it out. If you still got problems, let me know how you install the pluggin and I'll see if it comes from install or not. Good luck! ;)

Also about DDS or TGA, same kind of files, I mean there are both image files like BMP or JPG etc.

Awesome! :D

Yes it does! :D The Gimp is to Photoshop what Blender is to 3DSmax. So you can go for it as well! ;)

It works for most of photo softwares. If it doesn't work with Paint Shop Pro, download and use The Gimp (free).

[HC DAHL]

Ok so guess i have to download GIMP to do some skinning then:) thanks

Here you go...

[HC DAHL]

When you have GIMP do you need some kind of dds plugin then?

[SuperPask]

Again : the answer is in the links.

[Kongo]

This "GIMP" confuses me. I downloaded the most recent "Stable" version but I can't get it to work.
There are LOADS of things to download for various versions so, which ones do I need or am I jus not finding the launch panel?

[HC DAHL]

im gonna download gimp tomorow, but i tried to make the plugin work in photo shop pro, but i think i install it wrong...

this is how i have done it: C:/programfiles/Jasc software inc/paint shop pro8/textures

is this the right way to do it, or is something missing?
would have been nice with some help(again:p)
