Title: Paints Install Guide
Post by: Snappe on October 01, 2014, 04:01:17 PM
Create a directory structure in the MX Bikes install folder:

bikes
   350xf
      paints
rider
   paints
   boots
   gloves
   helmets
      default
         paints

Copy the .pnt file into the correct folder.

For example, a rider kit .pnt would go in:
MX Bikes/rider/paints

A helmet .pnt would go in:
Mx Bikes/rider/helmets/default/paints

A bike livery .pnt would go in:
bikes/350xf/paints

did you save the psd as a .tga? if so, the .tga must be named rider.tga

I am not creating a skin/paint. I downloaded some of the released ones. In the shift release he said something about changing the "rider.pkz" to a .rar and extrack it. I could not extract it so I folders myself. Was I not supposed to do that?

ok first of all delete the winrar file thats in there. The rider folder you have is correct, but inside that folder should be the following...
   paints
   boots
   gloves
   helmets
      <default
         <paints

Place the shift gear inside the paints folder.

Just a small correction: plugins don't require a license.

What about fonts? Do we need to make a folder for them, and how do we get them in game?

Tried to sync today and I am getting a lot of ?? on every  item on the list for paints. See picture below.

Has the FTP server being cleaned? did they removed items to free some space? I am not sure really.

The boots, gloves, and helmets that I downloaded, don't show up in game.

So in my Mx Bikes folder, I made a folder "rider" and inside that folder I have a "paints" folder. Inside of "paints" I have "boots", "gloves", "helmets". I put the helmet .pnt's inside the helmets folder, and put the gloves and boots in their respected folders, but still no helmet, gloves, or boots in game.

Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

I should add that my rider kits work in game, just not helmet gloves boots. Also my tracks work.

your rider folder should have the following folders inside it: Paint, boots, gloves, helmets.

the paint folder is for the clothes of the rider. The boots gloves etc are for each of those components. So i think you just need to move your boots, gloves, helmets to the rider folder, not inside paint folder

I now have boots, goggles, gloves inside my rider folder. I can now see my helmet in the list in game but when i select it, it doesn't apply it. Maybe I'll delete it all and redownload everything.

Try this pack, lots of paints for the riders kit and all folders are already sorted just extract the rider folder to your MXBikes directory.

Hey there. I'm fairly new to mxbikes and completely new to pc gaming with mods. That being said I did the folders deal and it didn't work for the liveries. Also some tracks/gear just doesn't work either even in the proper file format. Thanks in advance.
