I've given a tutorial within the last 2 or 3 pages on how to reskin and I think someone else gave an even better tutorial than I did on how to do it.

Not being rude, but why do people keep posting "How do I reskin vehicles?" when they don't even take the time to read through the topic. If you can't read through the topic then you surely don't have the time to sit there and reskin a vehicle. Just Saying.....

Same as above. Monday, if my schedule allows, I could do like a picture slideshow of what to do if that will work.

I have looked all over for this answer, I have re-skinned a vehicle from the LA Mod thanks to the directions in this topic and did exactly what they said, however, I am unable to convert the image I altered back to .DDS in order to use it in the mod.... Any ideas of what may be wrong?

I assume you skinned it and it was a png,after that you have to use dds converter and change it from a png back to a dds and put back in proper folder OR change the model v3o to include the new png file not the old dds file.

That is correct, only difference is, I went to change it back from .PNG to .DDS with the converter and it soimply will not do it, I have no idea why... how would I change the model V30 to include the new .png file?

the model v3o must be unlocked in the editor,go into editor,navigate to the model v3o click unpack...then change the name of the model v3o skin from dds to png with notepad

also when I convert the png to dds with dds converter,I send the new dds file to the desktop then I will replace the file to the mod location.

So you reskinned one of the engines with a new paint scheme but on the doors, it still shows the old engines paint from the LA Mod?

I've had this problem when I first started skinning and I can't remember what I did to cause it or even fix it but let me try to think of a solution unless someone beats me to it.
