Then select Targa (.tga) from the Format drop down list and name your file Sticker. and browse to that folder you just created. Switch back to Photoshop, then click on the Layers tab and click your image layer. As you can see, I have a few stickers already. Now create a folder named Stickers and inside that folder, create another folder and name it after your image. If you used the default directories when installing Trackmania 2, open your documents folder and browse to ManiaPlanet\Media\Painter. Now it's time to prepare to save the file. The white area determines which parts of the image are shown, you have to be careful with this when using more complex image shapes. Then, fill the selection on this channel with white. With your image still selected, click on the Create a new Channel button (bottom-right, beside a trashcan). Usually, Photoshop will create an alpha channel automatically but if you don't see an Alpha 1 channel here, keep reading. Then click on the Channels tab above the layers. Hold CTRL and left click on the thumbnail of the layer your image is on.
I normally use black here but considering that my image of Snoop Dogg is pretty dark (inb4 racets), I'll be using purple. Create a new layer and fill it with a colour that doesn't match your image. Sometimes if your image comes too close to the edge of your canvas, it will bleed colours when you apply the sticker to a car. Select Percent in the drop down menu, change both values to 110 and press OK.
Delete the empty background layer.Ĭlick Image -> Canvas Size. Then select your entire image (CTRL + A), cut it (CTRL + X) and paste it (CTRL + V) on to the new layer. For this tutorial, I will be using this image of Snoop Dogg.Ĭreate a new layer. Open Photoshop and open the image you want to use as a sticker.
I even have to re-create my skin everytime because I can't open the *.Gbx project file that is generated when I save my project. I tried reinstalling the game many times now, i tried reseting the script engine with SHIFT + Scroll Lock, I litterally don't know what to do. Wether I enter a custom name or the same name as a country skin, nothing happens afterwards, and no *.zip files are generated Export Skin : Clicking on this does litterally nothing.Using the Edit Skin menu entry doesn't show anything in the explorer so I don't really know how to open my project again. Save Project : Clicking on this generates a *.Gbx file in the ]Documents/Trackmania/Skins/Models/CarSports/Stadium_MYSKINNAME_Edition directory, but I litterally don't know how to open this project afterwards.I tried to create a car skin, but I can't seem to manage to save it.Īfter pressing the save icon in the skin editor, I have two options : I just downloaded the game and bought the Club membership for a year.
