How to Use the Add-ons on NFS-MW???

[DigitalDark]

Hello all!:cool:
I found out this web site, and have downloaded all the tools and lots of vinils, and of course the Ferrari.
Sorry if my question is kinda dumb, but... How can i use them? I already tryed the mwtex, and imported, the downloaded files to the respective cars... but still no effect.
Please any help would be great!
Thanx in advance.

1) Open Mwtex.
     2) Right click then click load.
     3) You need to load a vinyls.bin file. Since you downloaded a vinyl for the Evo, let's start with that first. Now go to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Most Wanted\CARS\LANCEREVO8. Click on open.
     4) Now you should see lots and lots of vinyls (I was once frustrated about this too ). Right click on any file you want since you can replace any vinyl. Do not right click on one that has the word mask. Just remember what vinyl you chose because we will come back to this later.
     5) Now that you right clicked on a vinyl, click on import.
     6) Look for where you extracted the .dds custom vinyls. Before you click on open, do not choose the file with the word mask in it.
     7) Once you clicked on open, the program would automatically reload the vinyls.bin file since it noticed you changed things.
      Hopefully, you remembered what vinyl you chose before. Now choose the same vinyl, but this time, click the one with the word mask in it and repeat the same steps as before except that when you get to step 6, choose the .dds file with the word mask in it so that way the mask matches with the mask (etc.).
     9) If you did everything I said, close Mwtex. The program automically saves whatever settings you changed.
    10) If you did everything correctly, you should see that the vinyl you chose before has been replaced with a new vinyl.

I hope this clears things up since the help files are extremely vague.

I hope what I said before to Car Freak would help you. (He still hasn't given me any response yet. I hope I wasn't vague )

Also I have found out that most of the vinyls you download can work on every car, even those of previous games (NFS Underground).

Welcome to the site! :coold:

Let us know if brainboy's tips worked

[Freak-DS]

what brainboy said is absolutly correctly :bigthumb:
before i forget: you can also change the textures of the
rearlights or so if you edit the textures.bin

Thanks!:cool:
It worked pretty well!:cool:
I didn't knew that it replaces the older Vinils. That was the problem.
Thanks Again!:cool:
I must try to create some vinils in my taste, since some are very usual.
(but very cool):bigthumb:

I also found out that the Blacklist vinyls are present when you load a vinyls.bin file. Just export them somewhere and reimport them back replacing any vinyl you want (personally, I like to replace them with vinyls that allow you to change colors ). I don't know if they work on every car but they probably do anyway.

Nice Tip BrainBoy.
By the way to edit a new vynil of my own, i need to edit an existing vinil, or the mask?

[Freak-DS]

you must edit both of them
