3: Click on the "Go" button until you find the texture pack you wish to replace. The Wide Brim texture pack is named as, "characters/kits/<team name>/odi/headwear/generic/widebrim/widebrim.texpack"

4: Click on it. You will see 1 new file. Go on File at the top right -> extract.
Extract it only if you wish to take the backup of the original file

13: Now click on EXIT under FILE at top left and enjoy the MODS in the game.




Note:

To edit the DDS files in Adobe Photoshop, download the Plugin provided from Nvidia from HERE.

In the texture packs of Bats, T-Shirts and Trousers, the file with _d is where you should import the textures and the file with _s is where the specular map should imported.

1: AbBh's BIG Editor
2: Kabooka's India ODI Kit and Wide Brim which was used as an example here.

The wide brims and shirts were just used as examples.
You actually have to replace whatever you downloaded.
