Need help converting back to pistol_gang_high.str2_pc

[VIPER VENOM]

These are my edited .DDS files and need help converting them back to pistol_gang_high.str2_pc.
Voltarox asked me to create this thread to help. What im trying to do is change the wooden handle to black with a silver saints flour in the middle. Any help is appreciated. If any cares all credits to the original pistol file go to joes tacticool textures,im just using it for personal mod for a trial on texturing.

I downloaded your pistol_gang_high.rar which has a folder called pistol_gang_high containing the 3 .dds files and the other files but you forgot to include the pistol_gang_high.str2_pc that caused your game to crash.

When you packed that folder into the pistol_gang_high.str2_pc did you pack it with the .dds files still in there ?

Ok the pistol gang high im uploading has all the files necessary to create pistol_gang_high.str2_pc now inside it i hava folder with my edited DDS files i wa nt to convert and replace the original pistol_gang_high.cpeg_pc file within so i can create my pistol_gang_high.str2_pc again using gibbed. But when i try it always converts back to the wooden grip even after i update the asm.

Yes i did pack it with them in there but nothing happened. Im using sr3 texture utilities6. And gibbs volition to repack the str2 pc files. But i cant get the one texture to create properly from my modified DDS files to convert it back to str2 pc format.

Grand theft auto was so much easier just use open iv export the image modify it then replace the original and done

You still forgot to include the pistol_gang_high.str2_pc that you made.
I can help you better if I can see if the .cpeg and .gpeg files are updated correctly with your edited .dds files.
Remember to remove the .dds files before you pack.
