Hi...
I´ve downloaded those bikes from equipment thread and have with paint.net the files D,N and S changed according with the other files already in pcm....Nif file is i think too small and i have only overwrited it...my question is wich color or format should i choose to have the right weight? and the Nif file must i put it too?
Im asking because after i´ve done this andalucia bike is blue...
Looks like the _s file is wrong and the whole bike uses the auto-colouring function. It should work with any _s file from a team-specific frame or one from Ozzie´s pack.
Usually if you download an equipment in the equipment thread it's already ready for using, no further editing/conversion needed, just editing the DB (or, in the case of the PCMDaily 2012 DB, just overwriting some files). Yes, you put the 4 files (.nif, _d, _n and _s) in 3D/Cyclists/Equipments/(in this case, Frames).
This is from ozzie´s bikes...that means i just need to rename this files like they are in daily DB, right?
Normally all frames D´s are 1,00mb and this ones from download are only 283 or something...when you say they are ready to use will they work when so small and differente with the rest?
Yes, if they .dds they should work regardless of size. There are several saving formats of .dds, so they vary on file size (also quality).
Felix, I also thought it could be a problem with the _s file. I've seen his _s files don't have an alpha channel, will the game then consider as a full 'white' alpha channel?
You could also try what Felix says, copy a _s file from a team-specific frame (which you've seen working in game), then rename it and overwrite the _s file of the Andalucia frame.
That´s what i thought now...but no problem with this as it´s pretty easy and did already for other frames...thanks for the help lluuiiggii..
Ozzie should if possible fix this.
