GhostRider0125 Hey real quick I have just one more question, I did what you said and managed to get the textures and edit them, however for plutonium to load them, do I have to name them something specific? And if so could you maybe explain the naming scheme to me?
-
Jo_Flranco yes you gotta name it as intended you have two ways to find its name ethier search in forum and if you found it download then rename yours to it or the hard way is finding it with greyhound
if you couldnt find it then ask me what texture ur trying to find
-
lmao I started doing the first option you said, but I actually found a link that has all the zombie mode texture extracted to dds and named their correct format, umm not really sure if you can post links here but if you could lmk if its ok I'll post the link, thanks for your help dog
