I am developing a texture MOD for the GLR to have sandstone base texture to match a sidewalk MOD I have downloaded. Since I am going to do it I might as well develop a version of the MOD to match the EURO asphalt sidewalk mod as well.

I am posting a link for the original thread on Simtropolis for anyone that is interest on helping out. LINK

Anyway I am here to ask if anyone could help me out. I need to make a PNG format texture for jplumbley to make the dragable puzzle pieces for the GLR. Any help would really come in handy. I could either learn to make a texture from scratch, how to extract and reformat an existing texture or, if you anyone would be so kind, and make it for me.

I plan on releasing the material on STEX and the BSC exchange here in SC4D.

Please guys help me out.

OK a little help here. I found Jeronij's tutorial on extracting textures (LINK) and I am pretty sure the one I am looking for is on SimCity2.dat as it contains most base textures in the game from what I could see. The problem is the dat has over 15,000 FSH entries. Could anyone give a clue? I am looking for the vanilla sandstone texture like the one used on some NAM pieces.

I would REALLY appreciate any help.

You could extract the texture from the NAM itself  ;)

Btw, I am glad someone found my tuto and got a use for it  :-\  ;)
I am currently not active - Please, contact Tarkus for any site related matter. Thanks for enjoying SC4D :D

Just for info & others who may come across this; whenever working with SC4 files, especially custom content related & especially when modding, try to go according to the TypeGroupInstanceID (or TGI ID for short) of the file(s), not the number of the file. As the number of a file, like 7391, can & does change & is not always constant.
