Hello i am trying to replace Adidas ST.dds cricket bat but i cant replace it dont know why any help please guys i really need that bat so i can give sachin that =)

 

[Splat09]

could someone please help with installing stumps into the game. i have replaced the stumps texture in the global.texpack file using bigeditor. when i use the editor to extract the file the dds file is definetly the one that i had imported, however when i start the game it does not show within the game. it still shows the original stumps. all the other files that i have added work fine.

You have already replaced something in gdata.wad:
are you using the IPL patch or User replay patch?

 

[Splat09]

i am using the user replay patch. i have also change the stumps once before

 

[arjind]

Then your stuck, you can't change more then one file, my recommendation make a copy of the game (copy the files to a different directory):
Unintsall and reinstall the game. Take the clean gdata.wad ad mport back into the old version and voila, you can now reset stumps and user replay

 

[Splat09]

thank you for that, i didnt realise that. is it possible to replace a single texture more than once.

How to replace the DDS files in AC09. A guide on how to use AbBh's BIG Editor.

1: Open the BIG editor.

2: I am replacing the India ODI Shirt and the India ODI Wide Brim made by Kabooka. So, in top-right search button, type "INDIA"

3: Click on the "Go" button until you find the texture pack you wish to replace. The Wide Brim texture pack is named as, "characters/kits/<team name>/odi/headwear/generic/widebrim/widebrim.texpack"

4: Click on it. You will see 1 new file. Go on File at the top right -> extract.
Extract it only if you wish to take the backup of the original file

5: Save to a desired location and give the backup file a desired name.

6: Now again go to File but click on replace.

7: Select the file you have downloaded from the forums download section. I am using the brim made by Kabooka.

8: Now click on "BACK" present just below "FILE" at the top-left.


9: Start clicking on GO again on the top right till you find your desired texture pack. (I am finding INDIA's ODI Kit)

10: Click on it. You will see 4 files. Click on the file with name as "_d"


11: Take the backup if you wish to do so. Then click on replace as explained earlier and click on the kit you have downloaded.

12: Now click on the file with its name as "_s" and click on replace. Then select the Specular map you have downloaded.

13: Now click on EXIT under FILE at top left and enjoy the MODS in the game.



Note:

To edit the DDS files in Adobe Photoshop, download the Plugin provided from Nvidia from HERE.

In the texture packs of Bats, T-Shirts and Trousers, the file with _d is where you should import the textures and the file with _s is where the specular map should imported.

Yudi, here's a short Texpack tutorial for everyone (if you don't want it here I'll delete this post just that many people see this thread and are more likely to see it here):
You will need BIG editor 0.1

1. Get a texpack file (download, whatever) (for this I will use my CSK T20 shirt)

2.Open the BIG editor - It should look like this when you open it (If not you do not have BIG editor v0.1):

3.Then, go to file:

4.Then, click import:

​

5.Then find the TEXPACK file you need and click open:

6. Wait for it to import and then you are done!
