You might want to try opening gta3.img with Txd Workshop. Then you can check the skin and compare it with the others for that car. See if the names are correct and labelled skin1, skin2, etc. (for example) so that they're numbered right. Then check yours for proper texture name, compression on, etc. by clicking on 'Properties'. Compare with one or more of the original skins to see what all the attributes should be. If you see a problem with the graphic, you're already in the right program and can import a fresh one right into the texture where it sits in the .img file. Much easier for testing this way!

JAB HacksouL Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 BUMP! Can someone please help?? We need more information, at least I do. What tools are you currently using to edit the GTA3.IMG? TXD Workshop is a great tool you can visually see the TXD and edits very quick. Also it will help us to know which car you are editing. The more you can tell us the better we can help you. JAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAB HacksouL Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) Here is what you need to do. I placed your jpeg into the models directory named it "Your Mod" jpegs won't import to GTA so we need to make it either a bmp, png, or tga. Next I opened your mod in Paint: Then I did File -> Save As choosing a 24-bit bitmap image renaming it "Uranus3body256.bmp" You will see where I got the filename. Now run TXD Workshop (don't have it? then get it) Open IMG and select GTA3.IMG When then list on the left appears scroll down to the very bottom. Most car paint jobs are near the bottom. Scroll up slowly and you will find this: Now use the Import to load your mod that was made into a bitmap: If your screen looks like this just Save and Exit.
