How to replace the DDS files in AC09. A guide on how to use Abhinav's BIG Editor.

1: Open the BIG editor.




2: I am replacing the India ODI Shirt and the India ODI Wide Brim made by Kabooka. So, in top-right search button, type "INDIA"



3: Click on the "Go" button until you find the texture pack you wish to replace. The Wide Brim texture pack is named as, "characters/kits/<team name>/odi/headwear/generic/widebrim/widebrim.texpack"




4: Click on it. You will see 1 new file. Go on File at the top right -> extract.
Extract it only if you wish to take the backup of the original file





5: Save to a desired location and give the backup file a desired name.




6: Now again go to File but click on replace.




7: Select the file you have downloaded from the forums download section. I am using the brim made by Kabooka.





8: Now click on "BACK" present just below "FILE" at the top-left.


9: Start clicking on GO again on the top right till you find your desired texture pack. (I am finding INDIA's ODI Kit)




10: Click on it. You will see 4 files. Click on the file with name as "_d"


11: Take the backup if you wish to do so. Then click on replace as explained earlier and click on the kit you have downloaded.




12: Now click on the file with its name as "_s" and click on replace. Then select the Specular map you have downloaded.





13: Now click on EXIT under FILE at top left and enjoy the MODS in the game.



Note:

To edit the DDS files in Adobe Photoshop, download the Plugin provided from Nvidia from HERE.

In the texture packs of Bats, T-Shirts and Trousers, the file with _d is where you should import the textures and the file with _s is where the specular map should imported.
