I can't get the painting thing, I just lack the patience. I'll run a borrowed skin again.

I have also uploaded some files to change the interior leather colour. Install the skin above, and add these two files (extract from zip link below) to the skin install directory if you want

Wicked skin Dave!!!

my skin for tomorrow,

I agree, I have been sort of going by the convention in the OP.

Except skin name has included KoAStR and then a description (flames or shark) and haven't bothered with version number e.g. KTM-XBow_KoAStR_Flames

I think car name first is best so you can easily group by name for a given car/week for batch download. Either that or we could make sub-folders for various cars? - then there's a handly "Download folder" button. Either way, it seems more likely you'll want to get all skins for a particular car than a particular skinner.

Perhaps more explicitly the convention needs to be make then model as shown in the AC folders so we don't get a mix of Ferrari_458_KoAStR_Shark, and just 458_KoAStR_Shark for instance - but again some sub-folders would overcome this issue.

def need some order in there, ill go with, Ferrari_458S3_Cyber. format as my preference.

Yea I would say that looks good and a "skin name" could be optional.

Personally I will keep it as I may eventually do more than one skin theme for a particular car so this keeps my uploads consistent with my local file naming.

Yea I agree if one person did download all for a car/week and re-upload as a single zip that would be ideal but a bit of mucking around for whoever is responsible, especially if there's any late skin entries.

As an alternative @DoogleDave assuming you are the admin of that mediafire share point, can you make a single level of sub-folders for the various car models as we use them? - then there is a "download folder" button that would in effect do the same thing as having a single zip file uploaded.

Talking about metallic paint textures the other night...
The ferrari 458 has a "metal details" file that has a specular pattern in it giving it that pearly look.
I just noticed the BMW GT2 has two skins with metallic looking wheels. Open the rim files for "BMW Motorsport" and "Endless" skins... if you really understood the contours of a car you might be able to replicate something like this to get a metallic looking paint finish, but it would be tricky. I can't remember who I was talking to about this, but these files show what I was talking about, in that you can't just apply a colour, you have to apply some texture mapping to get a metallic look. Food for thought.

if you want a skin to personalise your ride im happy to put something basic together for you. Just with your name, racing number, rooz logo in the color of your choice if you want ?
