The application is portable so no installation is needed.
With this application you can:
-
manage skins (download new ones, install from archives, delete, rename, launch showroom)
-
manage setups (edit and compare them)
-
manage tracks
It has been tested on Windows 7 64 bit with administrator account and it is designed to work with default or custom paths of "Early Access" and "Steam".
The application also works on windows 8.1.
The first time you start the application, it will check for:
· acs.exe
· Assetto Corsa folder (where AC saves replays, setups, etc.)
If you are not using default paths but custom ones then a window will appear and you have to set both paths (even if you use for example only a custom path for installation files). This is necessary why once SM.ini is created, application will read paths from that file. I hope I wasclear.
Example of default paths
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Assetto Corsa
If you are using default paths then you have to do nothing, just use application.
Skins Manager Tab
Exploring skins
As you start application you’ll see all available cars under “car list” column.
If you click on a car you’ll see all skins related under “skin list” column. If you click on a skin a preview will be displayed.
If you double click on a car name it will be opened relative folder. The same happens for skin names.
Install a new skin
1. Select a car under “car list” column.
2. Click on Add new skin in the action bar
3. Select compressed archive (only .rar, .7z and .zip) and the application will extract all files to right path.
Delete a skin
1. Select a car under “car list” column.
2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.
3. Click on Delete in the action bar.
You can also delete multiple skins: just hold CTRL and select skins with mouse then click on Delete.
Rename folder of a skin
1. Select a car under “car list” column.
2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.
3. Click on Rename in the action bar.
4. Cursor will blink. Write the new name and press Enter on your keyboard.
Launch showroom
1. Select a car under “car list” column.
2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.
3. Click on Launch Showroom in the action bar.
Download new skins Tab
1. Select a brand.
2. Select a skin from the table.
3. Click on Download button to download selected skin. By default file is saved in SKINS folder. You can choose a different folder clicking on Settings (menu bar).
Preview images are saved to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp\SM_preview so no need to download them every time. If you want to delete cached files click on Settings and select Off under Cache voice.
How filter works
If you want to look at skins of a particular releaser just click on a cell inside ARTIST column. The name of the artist is automatically written to the white box next to "Apply" button. Click on "Apply" and will be shown all the skins by that artist.
If you want to see again all the skins of the selected brand delete the name of the artist and click on the "Apply" button.
The same is valid for release date.
As regards filtering by skin name at the moment you have to write the exact name of the skin since the component does not allow to search sub strings.
Car Setups Tab
Add new setup
1. Select a car in the first box.
2. Select a track in second box.
3. Click on Add new setup in the action bar, finally select the file with ini extension.
Delete a setup
1. Select a car in the first box.
2. Select a track in second box. A list of all available setups will be displayed in the last box on the right.
3. Tick the setup then right click on setup name and select Delete. You can delete multiple setups.
Duplicate a setup
1. Select a car in the first box.
2. Select a track in second box. A list of all available setups will be displayed in the last box on the right.
3. Select the setup then click on Delete (no need to tick it).
When there is some value out the ranges the application saves a file named Log.txt so you can check the error. Setups ranges are collected manually since values are stored in data.acd which is encrypted. If you find any error or missing setup please report.
I suggest to run application as administrator.
If you have any problem please attach a screenshot and provide url of the forum post where you downloaded the skin.
If you’d like to use application in your own language please contact me and I’ll send strings to be translated.
