Does anyone know a simple way to get the colors right? Cause i made a vinyl but my colors are wrong ingame! Like in photoshop something is red and ingame it's blue. I know cause i made some vinyl for nfs underground. But there has to be an easy way to do it. Hope u guys know what i'm talking about and i hope someone knows a solution. And everytime i use bintex0,4 it says: stop statement encountered and i can't load with bintex. I think with bintex0.4 i can fix the color problem.

Just make make everything white what your custom vinyl covers! Just extract a original vinyl and it's mask to see what i'm talking about.

i made a vinyl for ug2 just to see how it turns out, it looked pixelated and black and white. when i went to the tuning curcuit it disappeared, then i went back to the main menu and the game crashed. either the game doesnt accept it, or mwtex has got some major bugs.

The method written in the BinTex ReadMe should work fine:
BinTex ReadMe wrote:Special Notes On Unique Vinyls (Adobe Photoshop 7/8):

Unlike normal vinyls, unique vinyls may use colors other than red, green, and blue. However, due to a format difference for the texture palette in the DDS files, the red and blue color channels are swapped. This needs to be fixed by one of the following methods:

With Photoshop:
  • On the menu, go to Image->Mode->Adjustments->Channel Mixer
  • Choose Red as the output channel. In the source channel, enter 0% for Red and 100% for Blue.
  • Choose Blue as the output channel. In the source channel, enter 0% for Blue and 100% for Red.
  • Click on OK

it works here (for MW at least, makes sense as its BGR encoding instead of RGB) so you might have done a step wrong.

download mwtex
download and unzip/unrar a vynil
start mwtex
right mouse click and load: c:/programfiles/eagames/need for speed most wanted/cars/RX-7/vynils
search for the name of the .dds file from the vynil you downloaded. for example RX-7_UNIQUE01.dds
then right click on it and select import. Then select the file RX-7_UNIQUE01.dds from the vinyl u downloaded. Do the same with the RX-7_UNIQUE01_MASK.dds
close the program and start nfsmw and the RX-7 unique vinyl 1 will be replaced by the vinyl you've downloaded.

Hope you understand cause i am too lazy to type more!
