Renaming the files

We will be working with several file types. Each type is found in specific folders. For example,

File Type    Folder       What is it

TRK          \truck       Contains all the truck information

BIN          \models      The truck body

RAW          \art         The paint on the truck

ACT          \art         Used by RAW files

BMP          \art         Used by Paint Shop Pro

1. Select a TRK file as the base for your new truck, rename it to something new and unique. In this example, we will use BIGFOOT.TRK and name it DIRT.TRK.
2. Start Notepad and open DIRT.TRK. Notice the name on the fourth line.

   MTM2 truckName
   Bigfoot
   truckModelBaseName
   bigfoot
   		

   This is the name of the truck model (the bin file). We will edit this later. For now, close notepad and find BIGFOOT.BIN and rename it to DIRT.BIN.

3. Start C-Pod and open DIRT.BIN.

4. Notice, and remember, the texture names at the top right of the window. They should be:

   BIGFOOT1.RAW
   BIGFOOT2.RAW
   			

   

   Write it down if it helps.

5. Close C-Pod.
