A ton of stuff is wrong, did you use an outdated tutorial? Even if it did show up, it wouldn't work because at this point the .cs format of materials is beyond outdated and the only reason it still works is due to backwards compatibility, but skins with this format end up looking like plastic anyway. If I were you I would just copy an existing vanilla skin instead and rename everything so it works.
ok, I used an old base that was made of a old tutorial --- Post updated --- what do I need to copy and paste?
You need all the files you have here, except the materials.cs is now skin.materials.json and you only need 1 of the skins in it, and the Jbeam you copy from the main Jbeam file of the car.
thanks you : ) --- Post updated --- it still won't show up? --- Post updated --- I've got it to show up but now the skin doesn't appear on the car
