How to Place Skins Properly

Post by JordanNave »

I downloaded the Full Master Template for the 2011 KTM 350 SXF and when I put the kit into my MXSIM folder and try to use them in-game everything on the template is spread all over my bike.

Sounds like a jm file mishap. What are the names of your jms and what did you name your skin? Be exact.

Well I posted this wrong. I guess we had the 250 template and tried renaming it to 350. But we don't have any jm's for a few other templates and they worked out just fine. We cant figure it out.

I didn't understand the last two posts. Whenever I try the 2013 CRF 450 template all the parts are scattered on the bike on wrong positions. This is going to be a problem when I have team members request graphics for different bikes.

The name of the png's and the jm's need "match".
example If you name your bike png crf450v2013-blahblah-Jordan, your jm would need to be name crf450v2013_fork_lower-blahblah.jm
crf450v2013_swingarm-blahblah.jm and so on and so forth. (not sure if I actually have it spelled right)

but essentially the first set of input before the "-" is your model/dyno info. It is where your bike will show up in menu and subsequently what dyno it will run off of. In between the "-''s is what model it will actually use, the JM info. This is where your jm name and png name need to match. after the last - is the skin name.

So if you named it like I typed above, you would find your bike in the 2013 crf450 menu, and with in that it would be blahblah- Jordan. Hope that explains it w/o making it confusing.

Yeah except should be crf450v2013_fork_lower-SG.jm

not sure if you meant to put a - after fork, but should be _. Just follow the format the JM's are already written in and rename the last part after the - to w/e you want. Them make sure your skin name in crf450v2013-SG- w/e.
