I have all files but it asks for a file i deleted it asks for the trucks skin i modeled after

Could you be more specific? By "it", do you mean Binedit?


Assuming you mean Binedit or the game:

1. Could the art file be in your recycle bin? if so, open the recycle bin and restore it.

If the file is long gone, you will have to replace it. Could you specify the vehicle and the filename "it's" asking for?

Please provide as much information as possible to give us the best chance to help you.

basically when i try to put my truck in the game the error says missing destr2.RAW. So my real question is, is there an in-depth page on how to put trucks that are personally painted in the game??

Cpod will do it for you.

Ive got that its when i go to convert my bmp to raw is where the problem is. I cannot convert the file to raw it always turns out as an ACT file

how about this i send somebody my 3 bmp's and they put it in place of a destroyer pod???

Actually, it converts to ACT and to RAW. You need both.

If you want, you can send me what you have and I'll take a look after dinner.

OK, avenger, I would suggest finding FlyRawGui, all you do is save the files as .bmp and it does the rest.

when i use flyrawguui it converts my bmps to acts

"Rep Fan Kev" on AIM, I can walk you through it. I'll show you my way.

You're choice.

There should be .RAW's with those .ACTs...got me lol.

Avenger, just so you and other new truck-makers know, FlyRawGui breaks up the .BMP files into .RAW and .ACT files, and both will have the same name (such as bigfoot1.bmp becomes bigfoot1.raw and bigfoot1.act)

The .RAW file contains only part of the picture information, and the .ACT will contain the rest.

In the same light, when you convert RAWs into .BMPs, the .ACT file must be in the same folder as the .RAW file of the same name.

C-POD does exactly the same as flyrawgui.

when i convert all i am getting is acts no raws

Let's try this another way. I think what the problem "may" be is that you are not seeing the file extensions. If you go into folder options you can uncheck the "hide file extensions for known file types" checkbox. That should let you see the file names properly.

That pages shows you how, only if you're on xp the option is under tools rather than view.

Also, if you're still unsure, make a temporary folder and copy your bmp file into it... so it's the only thing there. Then, when you convert, you will be able to count the number of files you end up with.

nope it simply wont convert my bmp's to raw's

Yes it will. Yes it does. But I don't think anybody wants to argue the point. I said you could send them to me if you wanted. That's the best I can offer.

i sent them...thanks

I converted them and send them back. Let me/us know if you have any trouble with them.

After over half a decade I have never heard of FlyRawGui converting BMPs to ACTs only. Something isn't being done properly, or your PC's operating system may be defective and due for a rebuild. You aren't on a mac, are you? (j/k)

But anyway, be sure BOTH the raw and act file are in the same folder if you want to try converting them to a BMP file again.
