somewhat new to all this so bear with me. I've searched all the forums here for an answer to my question but no luck so far so I'm hoping someone here can help. I have PCM2008 installed and working okay. I've created a custom mid-90's database of teams/riders etc. What I need to know is:
I have downloaded a dozen team shirts (3d textures) from mid-90's teams, 10 in .png format, 2 in .tga.
1.) how do I change team shirts in-game, i.e. in the 3D sim element?
2.) how do I change the mini-shirts shown for teams in the game menus?
3.) where is the best place to look for the mini-shirt icons used in the menus, if I want to replicate the 3d ones?
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!
all jerseys have to be tga and they have to be 32 bits, you can check this because every jersey has to be 556 kb
if you downloaded them in png, you'll have to convert them into tga, you can do this with programs like photoshop, paint.net or the tga tool
Then you check the name, the name of the jersey has to be ***_maillot or ***_maillot_+++ (the *** stands for the abbreviation of the team, the +++ stands for the country you have a championjersey for)
If they are in this format, you put them in the CM_textures/cycliste/team/*** folder (same *** as above)
If everything is right, you'll have to overwrite a existing jersey if it isn't a championjersey like above.
Minijerseys are also tga and 32 bits or dds
they have to be placed in the Gui/Team_shirt folder with the *** as name.
If it is dds you have to overwrite something, if it is tga wth the same name as a existing .dds file, you'll have to delete the coresponding .dds file
Hmm, ran into a problem - if I've edited the team names using an editor, a few teams at least, I still will have the original team name abbreviations in the directories you mention, right? If so, how will I know which ones to use to install the custom shirts? I.E. if team Milram became Gewiss ... I can only do it if I remember which team I replaced Gewiss over?

Yep - you;ve got to remember all the teams you've changed, and use the original abberivation
But I'm rather sure that the abbreviations are easily changeable. I don't have anything PCM-related on this computer, so I can't check, but it's possible.
If you can give me any info on how to change those it'd be helpful. Obviously, with the team names I changed already, I created new 3 letter abbrv. tags but I presume I'm correct in thinking I need to use the original file name abbrv. that match the default team names?
