    Hi guys !

    maybe you can help me, I did a Skin for my team. Yesterday we where 3 in my server. We were using all the same "custom" skin that I did. Same name as well.

    When I joined my server, I had my skin on my car normally. But one of the driver looked liked hell... When I ask him if he had choose the good skin, he said: "Yes I have it on my car, but you guys you don't have the good skin on you !"

    To be sure you understand, here is a screenshot of my screen:

    And here is a screen of his:
    View attachment 8261


    We where all not seeing the good skin.

    And we had all green square beside our name.

    What happend ?
    something wrong with my skin ?

    Thanks for your answer !

    Green square means you are using a skin.

    Most likely it is lagging on upload of skin.

    I can't see how it is the skin, get them to run offline and check.

    When you have this kind of "lines" it's because you don't encode the skin with full mipmap in you DDS. You need at least 6 level of mipmap on DDS.

    Offline it is working fine... I think...

    in fact, I saw this bug on my own car offline one day... I Just left the race, return to the "Tuning" option, click Reload and everything was fine after that...

    Yes, an option on the DDS export parameters (MipMap level? => ALL or at least 6)
    To test in offline, put you car on Low details and check with outside camera. If the DDS is not good, the stripes will be visible.

    when converting the template.psd to skin.dds, select dxt5 interpolated alpha compression.

    yeah that was the trick.

    compression when saving DDS was bad.
