Addon editing virgin - don't laugh...

[mikeb]

I feel I've got to a comfortable stage with the editing and scripting part of OFP and I thought I'd start to dip into the more creative areas.

I know I can wait till the site is up but I have a few quick queries to get myself started.

1.   Apparently simple retexturing is quite easy to do.  DePBOing some addons I've downloaded I notice all the image files are.pac.  What is this and how do I deal with them.

2.    I'd prefer to retexture the official units rather than some I've downloaded to avoid legal problems and res compatibility.  How to I find the original units in res?

3.   Where can I find new texture templates to add to units once I've found out how to use alter them?

4.  Any other helpful comments would also be appreciated.

Yours,

M

HAHAHAHAHA... oh, sorry  

#1: To open .paa and .pac you need TexView. You can get it from the Editing Apps of this site, that is if it ever opens up again.

#2: I'm not totally sure, but I think you still have to retexture models from the first OFP demo, maybe thats just if you want to edit the model I'm not sure.
