    Hi, I would like to retexture some of the European Low Bridges by Drazic and Monty (Monty released it) for my city. The big problem is, when I unpack the .sgbin file and change the textures,etc. I can't repack the .sgbin.
    PakUnpak says Filename.dat is missing and aborts the process. I noticed that the .sgbin file has less files than other .sgbin files. I would really apreciate your help!!! Thank you.

    which mod is it? must be a corrupted file or sth

    you can try to create a new one (or copy another one and change the information) with notepad++ (the one i checked uses "UTF-8 without BOM" as coding)
    it contains
    Code:
    [SGBINinfo]
    OriginalName=b_prom_pier_l1
    OriginalNameMinMaj=b_prom_pier
    b_prom_pier is the models name, l1 means level of detail 1

    you should be able to identify its name by the textures file names

    Dunno if that works since i never had to do it^^ if not you can ask monty/drazic if they still have a working file

    Thank you....but unfortunately it does not work, since there are no l1 to l4 files in the sgbin. I have no clue....Could you upload okeano's packer and unpacker here?! Maybe I could try that one....

    Bridges don't have lods, just a single model per section type, like this "r_br_pilemtybge01_40x40"

    Here you have the original models: MEGA

    You can change the texture in 3ds max and re-export the model with the viewer. 3 of them have only one type of model (pillar), except the first one that has a different model for the begin/end (only export the 10 meters wide for that one).
