I have a question

Post by burtonbraves »

I'm using this tutorial http://cownap.com/~mtmg/repaint/index.shtml


I just finished the replacing part and now I am making the pod. I open the TRK file in C-Pod and it says: Error: File Missing, ART/TRUCK1, 2, 3, 4. I'm using Cale's 07 Chevy. It doesen't says if I'm missing the RAW or ACT. And I have renamed all of both. Any help?





(I'm not saying the name of the truck because I want it to be a surprise [:P])

Did you edit the TRK file 'before' you opened it in copd?

Let's assume both.



> File Missing, ART/TRUCK1, 2, 3, 4.

Ok, this is what happens when you open a trk file. Cpod searches the trk file to find the truck bin, the tire models, the axle, the light textures, and the sound files. Then it searches the bin files for the textures they require. When the list is complete, it looks for the files in the appropriate ART, MODEL, SOUND and TRUCK folders. If something isn't there, it kicks out the error. The question is, why might something not be there? There is two answers. Either the files are not in the proper folder (which happens often) or the bins do not indicate the proper texture files (which happens sometimes). So what you have to do is back track your work and find out where something is missing. Are all the files in the correct folders? If not, put them there. If yes, then check the bin files to make sure what textures they require and then put them in the proper folders.

That help?

im no expert but it seems either yer texture is too smale or too large or you didnt decrease the color depth to 256 collours if that checks out then ignore this post.

The color is right, or I wouldn't be this far.

The texture is not in the pod.
