Iced_Bullet: "Hertz" Rental Garage Mod [Tutorial]

[Iced_Bullet]

In this series of threads, I'm listing and giving tutorials on how to improve your game-play. These are not instructions, or officially related to Atari in any way. They are tutorials created by me, for the sole purpose of giving you the chance to improve your gameplay.

 

I take no responsibility in your game going corupt or damaged. I cannot be help responsible for damages to game files or profiles. However this is highly unlikely to happen ;)

 

Anyway, on with the tutorial ...

 

Make sure you back up everything, unless you want to have to reinstall TDU when you decide the Rental Mod doesn't look as good.

[Iced_Bullet]

I couldn't get the database thing to go correctly. the textures inside, outside and clothes were fine. Itll just say 'Ellson' on the menus. It will be released in 2 days. noce this one has "settled", not that its got "unsettelled" :p

[Andreas¹]

Open the .dds in DXTBMP and then after all the editing is done just go File > Save As > DDS Texture and use whatever settings it has set up for you.

[TDUFREAK500]

my settings are as follows

DXT1 ARGB 4 bpp | 1 bit alpha

2d texture

generate mip maps
