Hi

Because many people have questions about "FSD2-skinning" I have make a new thread where you can ask all your questions.

I will start with a few:

1. Is it possible to make a third background in custombackdrops and can i´ve a custombackdrop in ScnPopup when I´ve already one in the (main)scene which is selectable by canvasmanager
Like this:










2. Like the first question only that i want to have more selectable Animations

Use the "Build skins" tool included in the SRC. Let me know if you need it.
All you should have to do is put all your files in a folder called: Default. Put that folder in the same place as the theme builder tool. Double click on the tool, press 1 for default, then Y to create the package.

If you want the name to appear as something other than default on the XBox360 you can go to the skin.xml inside the theme folder, go to the 10th line and replace default with whatever yo want to call it.

When you build it, it will still be called default, rename manually..
PM me if you need more help my friend...

@ bdove67: Thanks for the fast and helping reply.

No worries! I am excited to see what you come up with!

The command to package it up with xuipkg is this
xuipkg /O newthemename.xzp /R *.*

Note: If you copy xuipkg.exe to C:\Windows\System32 it will make it a default command in command line so you don't have to have the xuipkg.exe in the working directory.

I tried that Build Skins included with FSD also but it never packaged it at the proper size it was always smaller when it shouldn't be. This way keeps the file size correct.
