You need to put "ras" at the front of your car file name.

I can't do a screen shot of your car for the roster page because it's a hi-res car, and a lot of people don't have a stout enough system to support hi-res cars.
Is that in the rules, I must have missed it. "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > You need to put "ras" at the front of your car file name. > >

Nooooooo. Just make a lo-res version of the car for everyone else. You can drive your hi-res version if you want, and if anyone wants to, they can use your hi-res car too, but for general upload, you just have to provide the lo-res version (and you can do it sometime in the next week if you want to). I'm not trying to be difficult or hassle you, but this stuff is all posted on the rules page. I don't personally think it's asking too much...
I don't have a low res version and have no idea how to make one. The car was done by someone else and I have ased them but haven't recieved one. "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's actually quite easy Mike. Go into the in-game paintshop -> export your car file (yeah it's screwed up in there but it'll export just fine) -> exit the game ->rename your current car file (important if you want to keep using the 1024x1024 file on your system) -> resize the exported .tga or .bmp to 512x512 with your favorite paint program -> go back to the ingame paintshop -> Create a new car file and put the exact same info as you had in the original file -> import your resized .tga -> exit and send it to John or however you guys do it. Delete the smaller file and rename the big one back to the original name.
