Retexturing weapons

Recommended Posts

Firstly don't know if this is 100% the right place but it seems it. Is there a way to retexture the US weapons from tan to black?

As Kak said, if you can open the PBO (inside the addons folder of the game, probably named weapons.pbo) using one of the many tools available (eliteness tends to be the prefered method), inside you'll find a variety of files, and the one's you're interested in are called .paa files. Find the appropriate one, probably called mx_co.paa or something along those lines, and open it with the BI texview tools (available on the BIKI) - save as tga, open in photoshop, retexture to your hearts content.

getting it back ingame is a different matter, the simplest is to recompile the pbo with the new texture (saved as .paa again using the tools), although you'll overwrite your data and/or make it hard to get onto MP servers that check for inconsistencies. You could make a copy of the weapons.pbo and load it as a mod folder (again, BIKI search for how) and only play with it offline, and turn it off for MP.
