Translation Progress Day 7 (and also Day 8)

Sorry for the lack of Day 6, but I think I made up for it with this;
Oh Nems you studly hero you, how do you do that?

Its actually simple as heck so strap in.


On your xbox, inside MWC should be a folder called Player. In there they'll be a folder called P_001 or something like that. Theres two actually. P_001 should have about 18 folders called TEX01-TEX99. TEX99 is your standard suit, the rest are the unlockables. Make a back up of whatever you want to edit, download the DDS plugin for Photoshop by nVidea and finally, download the contents of that folder to your PC.

Each file represents a section of your robot, Editing is simple enough, just watch out if you make the colors too dark, then the reflection file takes over and makes you drive around in a robot that looks like its cloaked. You can edit the reflection file in much the same way if you want to make life easy.

Save as a 4 Bit file with 1 Alpha bit and then copy back to the Xbox. Tadaaaa.

I'm no skinner or really creative art guy, so I'll leave these instructions for someone a bit more talented than myself.

P.S.
I got Grenade launchers, Rockets and Missiles done too. so that only leaves 3 more categories to go.
