Can't import .tga files for a few cars

[labontefanboy]

Hey guys, I've been working on two large carsets for a personal offline series and this week was the week that I decided to do the tedious task of importing .tga files and creating the cars in-game. I ran into a problem with a few random cars though. On 5 of the 259 schemes I imported, the .tga files did not show up on the cars. I thought it was a problem with the actual .tga file so I exited the game, went into CS2 and resaved the .tga files, but the new versions did not import either. I tried deleting the .car file and starting over but for whatever reason, the .tga files will not import and all I see is the blank gray test car. Anyone have any idea as to why it happened so randomly, and is there a fix? This is on the BR12 mod, in case that helps anything.

What settings are the cars being saved as? I think 24 bit is what NR2003 used for tga's as 32 bit includes alpha channel and that might be confusing the game. I'm not at home to check what I save my tga's as actually but assuming it needs to be 32 or 24, one or the other. Only other thing I can think of is the tga is not a square of 512x512, 1024x1024, or 2048x2048.

Couple of things to consider from what I've dealt with.

1. Does the TGA have a space in its name?
2. Is the TGA file name too long?
3. Does the TGA file name use "!@#$%^&*()" characters?
4. Is the TGA file saved at 24 bits/pixel? That's the default I use when importing schemes.

Thanks for the help guys. 4 of the 5 were a filename length issue, and the 5th wasn't saving at 24 bits/pixel for some reason. All of them now work in game. Appreciate it!
