EmergencyFan97 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'm having some problems unlocking the large rescue ambulance skins from LA mod. I'm doing exactly as the tutorial in the LA mod section says, except that the files do not show up when I look for them after clicking 'Unpack File'. Could anyone offer a suggestion as to why this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1019 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 When you are unlocking them they don't automatically go back to dds files. You have to look for the V3O file that you unlocked. Here are the instructions again:Find your dds fileChange the name from large_ambulance.dds to large_ambulanceTT.v3oThen click yes to the file change/entention and then open the editorOnce the editor is open load up your mod.Then go to UNPACK and find the large_ambulanceTT.v3o file, click on it, and the click OKExit the editorGo back to the large_ambulanceTT.v3o file and change it to large_ambulance.ddsTry to do it the way I just explained and let me know what happens.

Zach1019 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 look for the v3o file with the same name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyFan97 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 It's not there. I know where I put it and what I named it. It's simply not there for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmergencyFan97 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Actually, I have a laundry list of DDS files to be unlocked. But the LRA files are the only ones I KNOW I have problems with, so here they are.https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzgdIE0Gzd3UNmphWXI1aXhVMW8/edithttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzgdIE0Gzd3UVDZBaF9DcWZUYkU/edithttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzgdIE0Gzd3UeE90ZEM4X3M3UUU/edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenew95 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Okay you've got to be doing something wrong...there isn't a reason why your files shouldn't be loading unless your not loading your mod. Zach pretty much gave you the way to do it.The files you need to unlock should be in a folder something like this. 911 First Responders>Mods>La Mod V2.1>Models>Vehicles>and then the dds and v3o files.Your saying, when you change the dds file to a v3o file to unlock it, then load the editor and mod, you cant find the file?

EmergencyFan97 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 OK, so I've gotten a bit farther now. I rename the files to .v3o, go into the editor, load the mod, unpack the files, exit the editor, and then rename them back to .dds. And then none of my image software can parse the files. Not Photoshop, Paint.NET, nor GIMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindcore Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I am working on a tool to unpack and pack these files; I just need to finish figuring out the file format! It is some kind of modified GZip compression with a strange header.If anyone has extra information please message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
