Wheel Re-skin Help
« on: April 05, 2010, 08:09:17 AM »
I re-skinned the granny wheels and now the re-skinned version is invisible. It appears on the menu but when I attach it it is invisible. Here is the file:

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/slipperbottom2.rar

It includes the gmf and the images for the wheel.

One more problem... I used Serge's decompiler and the gmf file came up blank. :/

The only decompiler I could find of his was the arena one and I used that. Does he have one for components?

It's the same one.

You need to call the decompiled GMF something different to what it was called before.

Ok, I've done that but now it won't let me compile it with his compiler. :?

I did that and the game crashed when I clicked on it.

also its important you dont try and overwrite with Serges.. you must write a new file name and put .gmf on the end

-------------------

if you did that and it doesnt work then try the other way around (decompile with FB and recompile with Serges)

I cant remember how I ended up doing it but I know the original stock wheels are the problematic ones,

Serge/ FB combo should work for any DSL wheel (directed at Nar)

That's what I missed! I didn't put a .gmf at the end! Thanks, Joe.  :bigsmile:

Talking of this, does it makes a difference if you put .gmf or .GMF capitalized ? I don't think so, but the 'Styles' entry in a txt file seems to accept both.

I thought it would work... but it didn't.

I think I'm just going to give up instead of giving all of you guys this trouble.

Ok, thanks. I just can't figure this out. I can skin any component... except for the wheels.
