paint.res update
  • Download and install WinResTools

  • Once started, you'll see the program's main window. There a 2 options available:
    1. ResCrack - extract an existing RES-Archive's contents
    2. MkRes - add contents to an existing RES-acrhive or build a new RES-archive
    First thing to do to build a shiny new paint.res for your mod is to extract the existing one. So choose the ResCrack option in WinResTools and open your mod's paint.res ("Enter File to Crack:")

  • Make a new directory somewhere to put in the res file's contents temporarily and point "Enter Destination Directory:" towards that directory.

  • Now just select "Crack". You'll find the paint.res file's contents in your tmp/car-directory then.

  • Put the carXXX.tex files you want to add to your new paint.res to the directory where you've just extracted your old paint.res contents to.

  • Select MkRes option in WinResTools.
    "Enter Directory" should be the directory that now has all your carXXX.tex files you want to have in your new paint.res. "Enter Res File" should point towards a yet nonextisting file in an extisting temp directory. For example: c:\tmp\paint.res.

  • Now select "Make Res File". When it's done, you'll get a success message.

  • Copy your new paint.res to your mod directory. You should rename your old paint.res before to prevent overwriting it.
