Hello all.
Lets say that I want to change the skin, and just the skin on a existing model. How would I do it? I'm trying to take a Shipwreck missile and give it a white skin to represent a RATTLERS missile to replace the TLAM. Should be pretty simple right?...hopefully? thx lb

I could tell you but then I have to kill you...
![]() ...in that case I'll tell you! :p First you need to decompress the 3d.grp (with decompress.exe), find the texture map (DW Edit helpful here), paint said mapt, then put the texture back in using computil. I don't know where you can get decompress.exe. Maybe one of the old SCX team might still have the link (I think thats where I got it) Now time to use some of my new found Navy SEAL skills on you... ![]() |

![]() ![]() Create a .bat file (use notepad and change the extention.), edit the .bat (right click>Edit) and enter: decompress 3d PING www.subsim.com (Just joking about the ping thing...) save and run. Be advised it will create a big folder called 3D will all the graphics. |

Check out the MOD section of the CADC, there is a sticky there with the files you will need.

Thanks OneShot.
![]() Would it be possible to list a quick "how-to" for the cmpUtil. I've been trying to put a rattlers.j3d and rattlers.dds into the game but whenever I try to run the cmpUtil nothing happens.

Time to go hacking again, make and run a .bat with this:
cmpUtil 3d rattlers.j3d cmpUtil 3d rattlers.dds |

Aha! Thanks once again. These things aren't obvious to us non-programmers. After hours of head scratching and hard work I.... still can't this this darn thing to work!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its not the .bat its the .dds. I downloaded a quick 30day trail of photoshop and installed a .dds plugin, but the .dds files I'm producing aren't being read right. The .dds file view aren't even recognizing them as .dds files.... ![]() ...hm... what's going wrong here...:hmm: ...*sigh* this is going to take a while to figure out. ![]()
