I have found a new way to add the Custom Skin Edition to Race 07. Let me know what you think...
This is the Manufacturer Screen, note the the the 2 Models under Vauxhall
Now, once that Vauxhall has been selected, there is two models to choose from as per the BMW's. The "Vectra 2008" (the name can be whatever we want) is the Custom Skin Edition & "Vectra" is the Steam Edition that won't run custom skins. You will see that my skin "Red Bull Vodka" has loaded ans is displayed.
The only thing that needs to be different to get a custom skin to load on Vectra 2008 is that the skin .ini looks like this:
[Team Red Bull Vodka]
KämpferAs
[Vectra 2008]
Body=Red Bull # 85 Body.dds
windows=Red Bull # 85 Windows.dds
interiorwindow=Red Bull # 85 Windows Int.dds
Ext_Driver=Red Bull # 85 Driver.dds
Helmet=Red Bull # 85 HELMET.dds
MenuImage=MenuImage_Red_Bull_#85.tga
Menuflag=MenuButton_Medium_FlagIcon_Normal_NewZealand.tga
MenuflagMouseOver=MenuButton_Medium_FlagIcon_MouseOver_NewZealand.tga
Ingameflag=HUD_Drivername_CountryFlag_NewZealand.tga
Note the [Vectra 2008] under my name as apposed to the standard [Vectra] currently used be skinners...
It's an easy fix for any skinner out there to make the change, but will they want to. I think the above is a much better method of integrating the custom skin addition.
