Hi Guys!
I've been wanting helmets (Regular and TT) and bike frames for my custom team for quite a while, but I can't seem to make anything that looks remotely good.
Perhaps some of you guys can help?
I've attached the Jersey that I want the helmets and frames to match  I was thinking Black / Green nuances, as on the jersey.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Ithaca attached the following file:

Thanks man, I'll give them a try. :-)
EDIT:
OK, this is getting embarassing. I can't seem to add the frames and helmets. Would someone kindly help me out?

Well, Jumbo didn't include all the needed files (.nif, _n and _s textures). It would make it a bit easier if they were included.
Anyway: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....ad_id=6571 |

Well, if Jumbobogen isn't willing to help: The files are based on already existing equipment. Go to CM_Textures/Equipment and find the files which look like yours (check the files ending with _d).
When you've found them, you need to make a copy of:
1) The file ending with _s.dds
2) The file ending with _n.dds
3) The matching .nif file in CM_Meshes/Equipment
Now, time to add them to the game by renaming the files. If you're using the PCM.daily DB, there's no need to edit the DB. Instead, follow the instructions here: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....ost_306540 |

OK, it works. Sort of.
Nif's are in place, the TGA's has been converted to .dds and everything looks good, except that the bike frames has big white squares around handlebars, gears, etc.
I'm thinking this could be a mistake in the tga? I'm not great at photoshopping, so any advice would be great.

This is because you need to add an alpha channel to the tga. The alpha channel can be copied from an existing frame tga. You know how that works? |

OK, I tried. Couldn't quite work it out.
I'm not using photoshop (don't have it), but GIMP. Is this a problem, and do I need to get photoshop in order to fix it?
