Unable to edit car skins

Post by Zodape »

I'll explain the issue:

I start the game, I go to the garage, I pick a random car, let's say, The Boss. I name the skin "Penis". The skin is created. I close the game. I go to TDR's folder to edit the skin (SCi>CarmageddonTDR>ASSETS>Cars>Mustang (The Boss)).

Here's the issue: The skin exists in-game, but it is nowhere to be found in the game's files. The Skin folder that is supposed to exist in each of the cars' folders in the game files does not exists.
I tried installing the MaxPack. For example, the Red Sparrow's skin is in the game and it works perfectly, but when I go to the game files is not there.

This is 'driving' me crazy. :supercrazy:

I hope you guys/girls can help me with this issue.

Thanks. :wink:

That's a weird one :-/
Seeing you take The Boss as an example I guess you tried to follow X-Ray's skin tutorial.

Have you tried if it hasn't created it within the pak file? Would be very surprising but we never know?
Also are there any TGA file named after your skin in the Mustang folder?
What about try creating the Mustang\Skins folder manually and convert the base tga skin (taken from the pack or something) into bitmap files named Mustang_Penis_N.bmp and Mustang_Penis_D.bmp?

With Pakrat, you can find it a bit everywhere.
https://rr2000.cwaboard.co.uk/pc-files#tdr download the TDR2000 SDK there, it's within the pack I think.

I managed to convert the texture files and edit them, but now I can't put them in the game. This is really frustrating... :mad:
