And it just has the regular texture, any help?

You have made a new folder for the new component right?

Do you have to?
Edit: Just have done, hasn't made a difference

Make new folder called flipperswegment and replace flippersegment after dir in the txt file and Put instead flipperswegment. Put new gmf in there as well. Should work. Rename the gmf file to something different such as 3030flipperswegment and change model in txt to 3030flipperswegment

done all, no changes

Are you sure it hasn't actually changed? Because when that bmp gets scrunched down within the game, it's going to look like a plain grey block.
Just for a lark, change that bmp to something really noticeable like neon green, and confirm that nothing's changed.
If not, do a search in the entire components folder for any other texture with the same name. If there's another bmp called "diamondplate" anywhere in the Components folder, the game may have decided that that one takes precedence.

Nope, no changes, it looks exactly like the standard flippermaker, I double checked
And I will try the colours idea
-
It will only change the 30/30 flipper seg mind you. Also try my edited instructions.
-
flipper share skin whit alot of other componments , it can even change colour from restart to restart
some time your new skin will work sometimes not.
-
Ok, I tried to fiddle around with the file, and now it crashes when I click on the icon, so it obviously has done something
Any help?
-
Do the exact instructions i said before and try and when it dosent crash on click check the 30/30 one.

Yup, still crashes
-
delete them and start from scratch. Do one at a time, test it and make sure it works, then move on to the next.
-
Well, now when I click on extenders it crashes D:
-
Hmmm, I think it's best you record your screen as you attempt to retexture a component so we can see what's gone wrong.
-
Did you actually decompile the extender when you put diamondplate.bmp in the .gmf file or no.
Well, now when I click on extenders it crashes D:
You probably screwed up a text file or a gmf file.
You have made a new folder for the new component right?
No

Should be fixed

You need to the .bmp to have the same number of characters as steel.bmp if you are going to edit it with just Notepad++ or else it will corrupt the .gmf file and crash the game.

Oh, then has it been corrupted?

Yes, that blue flippermaker gmf file is messed up, and the reason it crashes when you go to the extenders is because the flippermaker is the first thing that comes up so the game loads it and crashes.
-
Okay, I've renamed the blue.bmp to blue1.bmp and got a fresh gmf file and now when I go to extenders and click on it it, it still retains the standard steel texture of the normal flippermaker
-
Aha knew I was forgetting something! Yeah, 09 got it, you need the same number of letters for the texture unless you want to decompile it.
