The WLD file appeared to be doing exactly what I thought it did at first glance... But I was replacing STDVP.tex by STDRV.tex and shit like that, it should've changed the textures... But no. I then filled the whole file with zeros to see if it even did anything, and apparently not! IT DOES NOTHING. Which file loads the 3D models then?

So apparently, the file SCUS_945.55 is the one which loads the textures and such. It seems that BIKES.WLD might have been used in earlier versions of the game, but it's now been copied into SCUS_945.55. I've been able to change the riders' textures using this, now let's see if I can change bike models!
EDIT: Apparently, changing each individual rider's bike model is impossible. It's structured in a way that makes it so all bikes that use one model are stuck to the same model together. Same for a rider's gender, the riders are stuck to their gender.

Were you going to add JM1 riders or something? Since you changed the scope of your project I'll wait till you quit working on it before I submit it to romhacking.net. Looks like it's coming along good tho.

Looks like it's coming along good tho. I'm gonna be adding at least Lil' Dave (JM2) and Shirow (JM1), most likely Hellbound (JM4) as well. And yeah, it's coming along nicely, the physics of the main bikes are pretty much done and I've got 2 (almost 3 if you count Eram Yks) tracks re-textured as of now. I'm gonna be re-texturing every track and rider.

I don't suppose it'd be possible to add a JM1 style pic for the riders would it? I really liked the artwork of 1. Perhaps some fan artists would be willing to draw the riders in that style.

It's impossible to edit the Bio picture, but the videos where we see the rider spin on his bike can be changed. I know that toxik87 is really freaking good at emulating JM1&2's art style, so if he wants to draw the characters for the game, it'd be awesome!

Well, I was gonna use JM2124's textures to transform Catacombs into a space station, but I can't. 2124's textures are all in the GAME.WAD file, but all I can see and extract from it are hundreds of the same textures. I was only able to get 15 useful track textures. Fuck.

I guess I'll have to recreate them using screenshots of the game, oh well, it'll take a while, but at least it'll be done!

Do you know if he'll read this topic? Maybe you can post in the appropriate forum. Find out the size the pic needs to be.

I see what you mean now. I looked at a JM3 video. I think a pic would be good. It'd be good to see them in the old art style.

Yeah, but when I eventually modify them, I'll have a picture of the rider fade out to the actual 3D model of the bike turning in place instead of the CG that's normally in JM3.

Yeah i could draw it up- i spend All my time studying for this haha- I really am looking to go Pro one day- yeah i could draw and ink the ladies mathuser likes- i'll color some of em too- right now i've been studying landscapes and water-- i just made some more breakthroughs in watercoloring and Drawing the body and even drawing bikes ( i still need more time on the bikes themselves they're a whole study on their own!) yeah i recently drew some outside sketches of where i live and it opens your mind to interesting perspectives for future artwork--
i don't know when i'll start theses photos( i know i say that alot) but I Really want my work to look Friggen' Amazing

Very early sneak peak of the new Catacombs re-texture:

By the way, if you want a new in-dev release, I can post one. The Khumbu Ice Falls mod is done.
