    that was written a short time after the new replacement system arrived.
    Most packages on discord haven't been converted at that time.
    So the reference was, that converted packs will be online soon. ( back in december ;) )

    @Wolfgang Herold
    Thanks for your help. That combined with a You Tube video on transparency helped me figure it out.

    great, but this file in your screenshot doesn't have an alpha channel. You cannot see through.
    Transparency on a layer IS NOT alphachannel ;)

    Firstly thanks for the SuperV8 Liveries @Wolfgang Herold they're great, are you planning on adding more? and if so is there a way to include Real Names for the Cars? I need to give Whincup a door smash :D thanks

    I've tried to put my F301 livery in the game, that's the file (i'm using the Nvidia Texture Tools Exporter to save as DDS) upload_2021-11-7_9-39-48.png

    I've edited the XML code like this (this "livery" named folder stores the file)
    upload_2021-11-7_9-44-23.png

    But ingame the livery showed is the game OG
    upload_2021-11-7_9-46-20.png

    What's happening?

    you wrote
    PATH="livery/livery_checko_ams2.dds"
    there is a "/" not a "\" !!!
    should be
    PATH="livery\livery_checko_ams2.dds"

    I wold also put the preview image in the same folder, not "myracingteam"

    yes, but now you forgot .dds in the texture line, i think the filename is checok.dds

    Simple rule: the PATH is defined as PATH="folder name \ file name"

    Also give your previews unique names.
    e.g. if texture name is "checok.dds" , the preview could be named as
    checokPreview.dds or
    checokPre.dds or
    checokP.dds
    Then you have a simple reference from texture to preview.

    i assume, you didn't rename the f301_dist.xml to f301.xml ?????

    in case you deleted it, line 7 must be
    </USER_OVERRIDES>

    Yes, it was the line 7

    I've opened the game and the preview and the livery has changed, but not as my custom upload_2021-11-9_19-26-48.png [​IMG]

    What it could be?

    ok. now we know, the xml's structure is ok and its acknowledged, but the system either cannot find the files or they are saved in a wrong format.
    Next is:
    does the folder LIVERY exist?
    are the both files inside that folder?
    are the names spellt right?

    I always suggest, that beginners should download an override package from someone and then analize thee xml and the corresponding folder carefully. Then it should not be too hard.

    1 - yes, it exist
    upload_2021-11-10_19-35-13.png
    2 - yes, both files are in (and this debug)
    upload_2021-11-10_19-35-28.png
    3 - the names are spellt right, i guess upload_2021-11-10_19-35-57.png

    then put the \Automobilista 2\Vehicles\Textures\CustomLiveries\Overrides\f301 folder with all files in a zip and upload it. Maybe someone or me can have a look at it and find the issue.
