How to replace ball textures with Frost Mod Manager?

[MarlonAnthony]

Hi, I'd like to replace the regular Telstar 18 ball in World Cup mode with the Red version they used for the knockout stages, Link to the file below

The Adidas Telstar 18 RED.rar

Can anyone tell me how to do this with Frosty Mod Manager please? I've tried looking via search but can't find any guide?

You would have to do it via Frosty Editor.
Type "ball" in the bar research of the tool.
Identify the ball id you want to edit inside the Content/Character folder.
Select the TextureAsset that says color then click import.
Import the texture you want. (you might want to change the coeff and the normal also)
Save click file on the top left corner, save your project, then export to mod.
Import the mod with frosty manager.

Thank you for taking the time to help Pap!

I've finally gotten round to trying it but the problem is that it's not letting me straight swap the texture in Frosty Editor when I try to import it, according to the file explorer, It needs it to be a bin file...

As you can see "Ball_76_color" is the texture I need to swap the new one in, Any idea how to convert this to a bin file or am I missing an easier step?

EDIT :
It's OK, I figured it out, I was clicking on the actual file to import/export and didn't realise there was an import option at the top of the window which is what I needed.

I've imported it now and it looks great, just a shame EA didn't update their World Cup DLC with the new ball.
