How to make your own texture mod
Programs you need:
SparkIV (Download at the bottom of this tutorial)
Paint or other photo-editing program
This will only work on:
The rusty cars or the interior of all the cars from vehicles.img
The clothing/skins (from peds) from componentpeds.img
The weapons from weapons.img
What is it?:
Texture is the skin of something not the model! (Posture)
The texture files are the .wtd files.
I will explain it now for component peds but its all the same.
How to do it?:
1. Start sparkIV
2. Open the componentpeds.img in programfiles/rockstar games/grand theft auto IV/pc/models/cdimages.
3. Now select one model (character) like the f_m_business_01.wtd or something.
4. When selected a .wtd file from a model click the button 'Edit'
5. Now you will see a lot of pictures of the head, the pants and that sort of things.
6. If you want to edit the pants go search for the pants picture and select it.
7. Now click Export Texture and export it to a folder
8. Now go to the folder where you saved it and edit the picture with paint or an other photo-editing program
9. IMPORTANT! Now save it as PNG
10. Now import the edited picture so you replace the original picture of it. (select the original picture)
11. Click Save and close the texture window.
12. Now click rebuild and save and then your done!
13. Close SparkIV
There are already some of these mods available on the mods page!
