I downloaded the sds GUI tool, and it says the trantenburg.sds file is encrypted. Is it possible to decrypt it??
I don't think so, but maybe some modders find the way - good luck <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

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. (//wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sick.png.5e18d4558e116e768dc9391ac4b6df84.png)
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. <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" 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!)
