Smoked Lights (Blacked out)

[beast]

Hey I am relatively new to this forum. I was wondering, how do I black out the lights on cars?

 

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

I'm not a modder but I think it would be something of editing the light texture used. And just running a black gradient/screen over it in PS. But as I said, I'm not a modder, this is just theory.

 

So basically extracting the .bnk and re-packing it would be the biggest issue.

jesus answerd you,you need to now to work in PS and then just replace the texture

Yeah I know how to use PS, i've been using it for 5 years now. But what BNK file do I need to open in photoshop? :confused:

You can't open the .bnk in PS directly, use TDU Modding Tools to convert the .2db's inside it to .dds's first, and those you can open in DXTBMP and from there open in Photoshop. Use the .bnk of whatever car you are going to change, every car has its own files.

You need to download the bnk file editor,and then you open the car file,every car has two files one is: A6_V8_I.bnk(I means interior) and other A6_V8.bnk (i took the A6 audi for example) and you need to open A6_V8.bnk and then you export the tail or headlights file with the bnk file editor and then you need to convert from 2db to dds. that file(with tdu modding tools) and then you can modify it in ps,after you finish it convert it back to 2db insert it in the original bnk. file and play :)

 

and you will need some stuff to install in ps so you can open dds files(i can't remember the name of the program now)
