The texture I want to skin the flippermaker with

The changes I made in notepad++:

The TXT file

And it just has the regular texture, any help?

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

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

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.

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?

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:

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2014, 02:35:05 PM »

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.

You probably screwed up a text file or a gmf file.
