This is a guide to convert your pre-1-4 skins work with the new versions.
1:
Go to http://www.gimp.org/, and download the newest version of the Gimp Image Editing Software.
2:
Install Gimp to your computer, and open the program.
3:
Go to File>Open... And on top of the box, and go to C:/Program Files/MX Simulator, or whereever you installed the game to. Hold down CTRL, and click all of the .ppm skins. Once you have all of them selected, click Open. It will take a while for them to load, there is a lot of detail in them.
4:
Once they have all opened click on the box which has the image of the bike/rider skin, and click File>Save As then click the + box, and select PNG Image. Click Save, and another box will come up. Dont mess with ANY of the settings. Just press save. If you do mess with them, click on the Load Defaults button.
5:
Repeat #4 until all of your .ppm skins have been converted to .png.
Thank you for your time.
