You probabbly corrupted one file then.. :\ Get a file monitor (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html) and see the files it loads before the crash.

ok, i'll try it over to make sure i didn't corrupt anything.

bam_bam, when you save the file as a DDS (do a Save As) choose DXT3 in the Option Window.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 17 Jul 2006, 02:51

Where do I do that it wont give me that option . I can only do dds , do I need another plug in ?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 02:54

are you using PhotoShop? if so, doing a Save As should pop up a window with Options. there, choose DXT3 as the format. if you're not getting that window, maybe you need to redownload and reinstall the plugin from the nVidia website. remember, you need to select Save As, not Save.

Ive done the front badge , where can I find the rear badge texture ?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 03:31

look in textures.bin use binTex to do a preview.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 17 Jul 2006, 03:38

I dont use Bin tex , I tried once and it had a conflition with my system for what ever reason .

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 03:42

if it's not part of BADGING, try by extracting all the files in Textures.bin and looking at them all individually. i'm not on my computer that has Most Wanted, so i can't do it for you. there's not a lot of files in Textures.bin anyways.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 17 Jul 2006, 03:50

Right ok , I have found some . Ones called badging N or something but when I try and open it it displays an error messege , Im gonna takel it tomorrow tho coz its 3 am

.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 04:24

the _N files are normal maps, they don't contain the textures, just information for the game to figure out lighting effects on the textures.

<b>bam_bam</b>, i haven't looked at the EVO's 3D mesh yet, but after digging around a bit, i have a hunch that the rear badge is a full 3D badge. the front badge is just a rectangular plane that is overlayed the body. the rear badge might be a fully 3D mesh, in which case it would use a different material, probably Body_Aluminum. 1) i have no clue where that texture resides and 2) changing it would change a lot of other things on the car.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 17 Jul 2006, 18:33

Doesnt seem worth it to me ! lol , I think I will just leave it . Heres a screen of the front badge , what do u think ?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 18:36

if you want. i'd rather get rid of it, but hey that's me.

btw, ever think about release a modded APR evo vinyl where the decals and everything on the right side is not going the wrong way?

speed_and_do_the_deed · Post by **speed_and_do_the_deed** » 17 Jul 2006, 20:20

Umm i wanna just ask coz like im doing a vinyl like i said i was well i dunno if told you guys but like i have bin pm bam_bam and its help thaks bam_bam

but now ive got to save the mask file witch and when i say save as i select

palette ARGB ( 256 colors + alpha )

and then No MIP maps

Is all this correct or does the Mask need a diffrent colour thingy

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 17 Jul 2006, 20:34

if you're using binTex to import, check Generate MipMaps. if you're using MWTex to import, check No MipMaps.
