The base.scs file is a compressed file that is created in your C:\Program Files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal directory,it contains a lot of files the game engine uses to create the things you see in the game once it`s started.The game also looks in your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder that is created after the game is run for the first time,this is the last location the game engine looks for items to load into the game.So this is where our edits go,in your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder.You must keep the folder structure correct for your edits to work.For example if you simply place a file named paint0.dds into your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder nothing will happen,if you place the paint0.dds file in your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal\makes\truck\p379\share folder it will show.This is just a basic example to help you understand how it works.By default your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder only contains a few files and folders.To extract the base.scs file into your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder you copy the base.scs file located from the above mentioned location,(C:\Program Files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal) copy the file do not cut it,remove or rename the file located in your C:\Program Files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder.Once copied paste it somewhere you`ll remember.You do not need to do anything further with the base.scs located in your C:\Program Files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal directory,other than copy it.Rename the copied version to base.zip.Using winzip,windows compressed file viewer or winrar extract the base.zip into your My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder.You now have the correct folder structure for where your edits will go.If you have installed any patches for the game such as 1_07,you can do the same thing with the patch_1_07.scs located in your C:\Program Files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal folder,do this after extracting the base.zip so the newer files overwrite the original extracted from the base.scs
