does anyone know how to fix it???

ok i ran into a problem i need help like everyone else with the front and back!

here is fbi suv. Undercover CV, and battalion chief. oh and university of miami police enjoy comments welcome

yea i am having that same prob with my reskins

the mod is looking good guys keep up the good work

You have to rename the dds files to v3o, then unpack it, then rename it back to a dds.

how do you do that????

I had the same problem too and that is what happend

Did you fix your problem??

Have you unlocked/unpacked it? Thats my first guess and if you dont know how it has been posted several times this week so it shouldnt be hard to find if you search, Hope that helps

when i go to unpack it in the editor there is only one file and that is the one i unpacked

^What do you mean exactly? Theres 2 dds files for the water tender: water_tender.dds and water_tender2.dds both of these are for the same truck, so you have to edit both to fully repaint the engine.

i cant load the second file for some reason i can find it but cant open it do you know y

ther is a close up of the heavy rescue and everything else.

i still cant figure out the problem with the water tender

1. RENAME [do this in the directory without the editor] "water_tender_2.dds" to "water_tender_2.v3o".

2. Go into the editor, and "unpack" the file you just renamed to [v3o].

3. Exit the editor, go to the directory and name the file back to "water_tender_2.dds".

4. Convert to JPEG using DDS Converter 2 or whatever.

5. EDIT.

6. When done editing, convert back to [dds] format.

7. Copy/move and replace the old file with the new.

I have to explain this alot, just please do some research on the site before asking all these questions. I dont know how many times I have posted this SAME "tutorial".

i know your getting frustrated with this but i have one more question for you about this i promise

how do i get to the directory???

sry for bothering you

You must unlock it first. Do the same thing you did for the other files.

in the editor i cant find watertender 2 i only see it in my .dds converter all that iis in the editor is water tender1 and watertender door and watertender wheel

there is a file called "water_tender_2.dds". This contains the front and back textures of the truck.

umm i found the file but it wont let me open it do you know why???

i had the same problem. You know there is a program called Fraps thatyou can download for ingame and editor pictures.

yea but when i did it it didnt seem to work it messed up my editor so i had to reinstall the whole game and did you solve the problem??

There's nothing wrong with reskinning. Unfortunately, tho, you can't pawn it off as a submod. I see both sides. Hoppah's worked VERY hard for the past how many years to get his mod to the amazing shape it's in now, and wants the credit he rightfully deserves. Plus, by allowing reskins if new models are included, he's encouraging a fine art. On the other hand, many people don't have the talent to re-skin vehicles, and can get tired of playing with L.A. units. I'm from Canada, near Buffalo, NY, and I've never been to LA. I want to, but I'd personally like to see a more Northern or East coast mod. Nothing against LA or anything. But you're doing a GREAT job so far. Keep it up.

Edit: By the way, and congratulations on being promoted to Lieutenant

O wow i didnt realize that thanks lol i should have the batalion cheif pic up sometime tomarrow

Very nice work on the ambulance

But you must realise that you cannot release any of this without Hoppah's permission.

yea i noe i wish i could but you gotta respect Hoppah's hard work i guess and thanks

its a little blurry though

convert it back to dds with dds converter and play. i would love to see a pic if it is alright

Yea sure im not done yet i should be done tonight but ill post it when it is done

what should i use to take a pic with??

Once i reskin a model how do i put it back into the game??

there is a text bar at the very bottem if you click once click on this and go to the end and delete .V30 and change it to .dds

Ok thanks so far i changed them to .dds now what do i do

ok go into the editor and under modifications there is somthing that says unpack. Click it and on the right is a scrool bar. go down to models and click on whatever you want. next find a spific unit. it should end in .V30 so click it and changed it to .dds.post whne you have done this and i will tell you the rest.

how do i change it to .dds because when i get to the unpack file and then go to the vehicles and then double click on the vehicle the screen disapears

First of all, I use MS Paint. It is much easier and I get better results. But you do what you want to do.

Now make sure you have unlocked the file before converting it.

In order to help I need more details:

Do you get an error message?

Is the file just not showing up? etc...

well when i go to the file with all of the vehicles i click on one(fire engine 1 for example) an error message pops up saying "There was an unspecified error while opening this file"

Hope that helps

Ok so i have a .dds converter and paint.net and i cant seem to know what to do now. I would like to reskin Hoppahs models with my home towns emergeny vehicles but i dont know how to get the models into paint. Please help.

looking forward to more pics of your progress
