Saving changes to a .truck file

[Helvigster]

How's it goin', boys. Welp, title says it all - whenever I edit a .truck file and I save it, it'll ask me to save it as a .txt document. If I do, when I go into the game, anything that I edited doesn't change and the truck is back to what it was before.

Uh, everything is extracted into my V4 folder, so I don't know if I'm stupid or if I'm just missin' somethin'. Any help would be appreciated, boys.

You have to save it to where ever you have the v4 folder in and over write the other truck file in order for the changes to take place. I would also make a copy of the original truck file and save it some where else just so that you can always put the changes back to normal if you don't like them.

That sounds like a good suggestion, only problem is, is that I'm not editing a truck in the V4 pack.

[Helvigster]

Plus I don't wanna delete the .truck file, right?

[Helvigster]

Sorry for posting three in a row, but there's no option to overwrite the file, 'cause if I do, I can't load the truck.

Or maybe I'm bein' stupid again. I dunno.

You don't save it as a .txt you save it as a .truck

[Helvigster]

That's the problem. Whenever I click the drop down menu on the new window I get, the only options I get are a .txt or All Files. This is a problem.

I've seen people on YouTube click Save and no problem.

truck file is a txt document. Just open the file, make your changes and save it. If it is not loading ingame then it is because you did something wrong with your edits.

[Helvigster]

Is it really supposed to be saved as a .txt? 'Cause whenever I were to save it as a .txt, the original .truck file stays...

basically, it duplicates.

Sorry if I'm confusin' ya'll, it's just that whenever I save it as a .txt, my edits don't show up in game. 

[Helvigster]

If I was to save my .truck file, I would have both a .txt and a .truck, and I really don't know what to do. I don't wanna delete the .truck file because I won't be able to spawn that truck in game.

what program are you opening it with? notepad?

[MJFAN]

When you select all files, type in NameOfTruck.truck where you name it, and it will save it as .truck.

[Helvigster]

I'm usin' notepad. Ty @MJFAN I'll try it.

[Helvigster]

Wait, am I supposed to use notepad?

[Helvigster]

My changes still didn't save... any other help or am I screwed?
