This is a great idea, however, according to my folder structure there should be a subfolder for every skin, so I'll pass on this until it's properly sorted. If not then no big deal.

ok i'm stumped. cant get the zip to unpack automatically into the cars file. I'm blaming Bird. not the fact I too stupid.

only the two cars anyway. You'll have to manually drill through your AC folders to put them in the right skin folder. Stressful, I understand.

Until Bird yells at me in some foreign language (English) how to get it right.

Actually I should have said that I have a subfolder under every skin folder for every colour.

We should figure out what was wrong with the white car yesterday.

And now, For His Dickness!
here's how to make it into one nice zip that you need to unpack in the ac folder:

First you need to replicate the directory structure of the original skins. 
I've recreated the structure, it's all empty directories.  At the very end, there are all the skin files, where they should be.
I've done this all in a temp directory as you can see (this is recommended to avoid messing up something else - just copy stuff in here)
Make sure there are no files in any other upper level directory, as you might eff up someone's AC installation if you do that.
Here's how it looks:




Next; navigate above the "content" directory (in this case navigate into the temp dir) and right-click the "content" directory as you can see, and hit "add to archive".



The result is a file like this, that you can just put into your /steamapps/common/AssettoCorsa/ directory, unpack, and everything will be in its rightful place.


p.s. it'd be good to use a skin naming that makes sense - eg "xgnSeason2" would be a great skin name for all these skins - it's easy to set-up for Wally, and it's easy to identify later. :)

Of course for other cars, you need to make the appropriate directory structure within "cars": i.e.: carName/skins/skinName/...files here....

I hope it's clear enough.

ok I've finished this project.
I gotta say it was harder than I thought it was going to be lol. For all the wrong reasons. The lotus have too many panels to mess with. When there is 4-5 variants it was too much work to do anything fancy. so i'm not very proud of these skins at all. I prefer quality to quantity.

But it was a cool idea. Was harder to make the colours flow than I thought it would. Kinda got away with though. it's easy to look at a whole pallet of shaded swatches. you can see the difference. But looking at cars one or two shades lighter / darker it's a lot harder to tell them apart.


I guess I should make a stand alone post. and I will. Just someone check my .zip
This has the last 3 variants.

Dick, Just had a look inside the zip and the folder hierarchy came across correctly for me. Saw 3 Lotus cars.

I think you've messed the filename up on the last one.

It should be v3, methinks, not `1  :)
