I’m not sure if i understood correctly, if the car you mean is the one included in “made man” dlc,

the file you say is indeed making sdstool crashing, because it is compressed. :dry:

 

Mafia 2’s .sds files can be compressed, encrypted and even both things together.

 

To deal with compressed and/or encrypted .sds files you need a series of tools

called “gibbed illusion tools”.

 

Copy the file trautemberg_grande.sds and trautemberg_grande_z.sds from the dlc/cars/ folder,

(the one with final z is for winter and has snow) to the gibbed tools folder, then just drag’n’drop those

on the decompress sds tool file. It will save a renamed trautemberg_grande_decompressed.sds wich

no longer cause the sdsgui to crash. :woohoo: and is suitable to work on, such as retexturing etc…

When you are done, the sdsgui repacks it leaving the uncompressed form, and you will notice a

difference in file’s size, but don’t worry, for the game will be just fine. ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

 

Remember, to use it in-game, you should rename it accordingly as the game’s original one. :dry:

 

I think this will put you back in business, :woohoo: and as usual, i recommend to make sure you keep

a copy of your original, untouched file.

 

(ALWAYS make a copy!)
