Online Website. Skin Editor discussion.

Here's something a few of you might find useful for AG Systems.
(It's a .gif btw) you can still right click it and say copy, then paste into the online editor.

Awh, you beat me to it.... sort-of...

...the bottom right piece is ignored (however messed-up it looks in the editor) and replaced with the engine texture.

Too bad we couldn't edit that as well..

[Lion]

it may be "ignored" but if it's left on the skin it steals some of your 16 colours, I'd suggest blanking it out with a colour that is used elsewhere

Hi everyone! WipEout fan since 3 here. Every time I log in pick my team (Assegai) and click create I get a blank grey work space with non-functional icon at the bottom? Anyone know why? Help? I'm using a PC with Firefox v5.0 I haven't tried Explorer cause it scares me and I think I may have deleted it past functionality, lol. Thanks for any help and I look forward to playing with you all!

Also, I'm super new at anything past playing the actual game, but I can't seem to find instructions or a tutorial on how to make a skin, like say in Photoshop? Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?

[BARTgai]

well first off, welcome to the zone!

now, have you the most up to date shockwave/flash player? that could be your problem although i have never used the editor on firefox so i have no idea

also, you can look at the past posts in both this topic and the custom skins topic for some help with getting started. you can also PM anyone if you require more help

[BravePotato7]

Hey thanks Bartgai, yep I've been reading quite a bit, both here and other sources, but people talk about issues they have but I'm missing the vital begging step. Like after you bring up Photoshop, what next? Do I need a template? I don't undertand how the flat 2D pieces become the awesome 3D ship? See what I mean? Lol.

I thought about that, not having the most updated flash plugins, but you know, I suddenly can't find where to actaully get it if its not coming from a pop up prompt, lol.

Anyway, thanks for having patience with me and being nice!

EDIT: ACK!!! It works!!! Sorry, I decided to check out shockwave, not thinking that was it, and of course it was! Here's the link for future reference for whoever: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/ And it works for Firefox even though its not listed

[Asayyeah]

Wellcome to the zone BravePotato7
Feel free to present yourself into the pilots loundge forum if you want to say more to people

[BravePotato7]

Thanks man!

[Task]

Indeed! But, uh, also read the guidelines and don't quote unless absolutely necessary. 8 )

I think that FireFox 5.0 is such an advanced experimental release that it won't work reliably with anything yet.

BTW, good choice on 'Explorer'; I usually delete everything in the IE directory that the OS will allow. Which is damned near everything, even if not quite.

I can't save a fifth skin, no matter what slot is, if I already have four of them full I'm always given an error when I try to save in the remaining slot. Any ideas?

[Yagya]

Dogg Thang. thank you so much for taht white base AG-sys. hope you don't mind i use it when i eventually give skinning a serious try. i'll give you cred where i can because just now messing with the 2d stuff in photoshop i realized how hard it is to retain the awesome shading Egg has done. Thank you a million times! must've been a headache to get it like that.

Embarrassing question about the wipeout-game.com site:

How do you submit your times!?

I have an ID and was able to log in just fine, and can see the top ten times (with my unsubmitted name listed on the bottom as "-/2560"). How do I actually enter my own times? I tried connecting my PSP to the computer in USB mode in the hopes that the data would magically be read, but that didn't work either. ^^;

When I click on "My Account", the only thing I can see is space for five custom skins. Shouldn't there be a way to enter your own times? This is getting frustrating!

In the game, when you select the "WipEout-Game.com" option, you access the site, and if you wish you are able to log in. Afterwards, you will be on the skins download page. Don't go anywhere, there is some text between the blue tabs and the gray window. One of these links is "Upload Profile". Make sure you allow all the plugins to run, and it will upload. Records will take some time before being updated though.

[Xavier]

The only two items in that white-on-aqua strip are "Wipeout Pulse Skin Editor" and "Log-out".

This is hiw it looks whether I use Firefox or Safari, and I made the text smaller so that it's not overshadowing any other buttons or menus.

Have they stopped accepting profiles, or something?

[leungbok]

Hi Xavier, all that Darkdrium told you is exact, but you have to go to wipeoutgame from your psp wifi. You can't transfer your profile from a pc (or mac)

[INFAXSU]

My skin editor won't run, I click on it and the page just refreshes.

[Xavier]

Ah ha! Never considered visiting the site through the PSP!

Thanks Darkdrium, Leungbok, everybody -- soon my times will be uploaded, so whoever's in 2400th place, look out!

[leungbok]

Infaxsu, you must insist, it don't works very well. Me too, i have to click several times on the button to really save my skins (kind of bug on the site).
Very tenses races with you online, hope to see you soon on the start grid

[Primal-Convoy]

I made a thread about this but I was told tocome here. I havent found what Im looking for yet so here I go!

The skin creator will NOT load up. It says Session Expired. I also REALLY want someone to download the actual software and make it available to use offline and so we can upload ships via our pc/mac etc and not via the horrid official site.

It would be ok if their software and ship skins that were created were easy to navigate or upload but they are not!

Anyone out there with the techie skills to pull this off please?

Also, could there be an idiots guide to the skin creator. perhaps a tutorial with a step by step way for us to import a skin:

ie:

"...now we are going to import a texture. Go to this site: www.example.com and doanload any texture and then....blah blah blah"

If that were so, we could all learn how to do the basics

then in the second tutorial:

importing fonts/text etc

Sorry but some of us here have ideas bigger than their abilities!

Please help!

love this site though!

Downloading the ship skinner would actually be illegal.
