How to begin modding Driv3r? I have some questions

Hello,

I'm new here, and I didn't there was a modding community for Driv3r up until today. I am a Turkish guy, and I'd love to improve Istanbul (mostly textures) in every possible way I can.

First question, I found and started using Antilli for modding. Is there a better, more conveinient way for this? If not, Antilli it is.

Second, I think it would be great to place HD textures into this game. I've seen some people do it:
I tried improving a 256x128 texture by replacing a 512x256 texture and the game crashed.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

I'll come here as I have new questions. Thanks!

I once tried replacing textures of Istanbul cars with bigger ones to make license plates readable (also needed to replace their textures with better photos.) Worked fine for me.

For odd reasons, the latest build of Antilli might be less stable than old ones, especially with textures replacements.

Look at bibibibabibibidiibbibidiodou work for HD textures packs :specialdriver:

Thank you for reply, here's another question:

What application do you use to edit DDS textures (I downloaded GIMP for this) and is there a specific set of compression settings for DDS files?

I get this kind of setting dialog:

You can use DXTBmp to see which compression is used. Textures are in DXT1 or DXT3 most of the time.

Thank you for the reply. Like I said before, I created a higher-resolution texture for a building texture in the game, replaced it, and the game crashed when loading the level. I'm probably doing something wrong.

I wish there was a tutorial for this.
