The Basic Workflow

The functional appeal of version 1.7 lies in its duality of scope. While its name suggests a focus on "Tex" (textures), the tool effectively manages two distinct aspects of the game files. Primarily, it functions as a texture editor. It allows for the exportation of .bmp or .tga files, which can be manipulated in Photoshop or GIMP before being re-imported into the game’s indexed color palette. This process is vital for "skinning" cars—turning a generic sedan into a police interceptor or a street racer. However, the 1.7 iterations and their contemporaries also often double as car editors, tweaking the car.ini or car.bnk parameters. This accessibility democratized modding; a user did not need to understand hexadecimal code to increase the top speed of a McLaren F1 or change the hue of a siren light. It transformed the opaque act of hex editing into a user-friendly graphical interface.
