CBear's Tattoo Parlour

[C Bear 0]

Out of all the aspects of modding for this game, I've been looking forward to tattoos the most. I was really disappointed with the ones in the game, most of them sucked ass. I don't think I got a single tattoo until I got to Las Venturas. Word to Moerder's mother for making the first tattoos (as far as I know) and for making that guide. Once I saw that, I couldn't wait to get started, so I've knocked a few up already.

 

Tribal Dragon

 

Japanese Dragon

 

"Respect" Kanji Character

 

Grim Reaper

 

Download links and more tattoos coming soon.

Those tats rock cant wait to get em in the game.

DUDE! That Grim Reaper is awesome!

 

I made a texture for the monster truck and increased the resolution 3x, do you think it would work for tattoos, too? All I did was resize it in photoshop, edit it, and paste it over the original texture in paint. If it worked, you could have a lot more detail in your tattoos (not that they aren't detailed enough already, but bigger is better)

I don't see a reason why that wouldnt work for tattoos as well. I'd say try it out and see how it works, cause there is no shame in doing the good ole trial and error process.

 

C Bear: Glad my guide and tattoos inspired you. Also if you want a custom image when your in the tattoo shop edit the files within LD_TATT.txd (models/txd folder). If you do that, then you can have your own custom preview image before getting the tattoo(s) done.

Yeah, I've been doing that.

Yeah, I was very pleased with the way that one came out.

You increased the resolution and then added it in TXD Workshop with the higher resolution?

 

If that works, I would definately find that useful. The back's not too bad as it is, but it's really tough to find useable images for the smaller tattoos.

 

 

 

 

 

Made a few more:

 

Tribal back #1

 

Tribal back #2

 

Fantasy-style Dragon

I tried it, but it crashed the game. I followed the tutorial, except I resized it before I saved it, maybe if someone else tries it, they will have more success.

 

Those last 3 tats are sweet, man

I'll give it a try. I have noticed, though, that there are certain areas on the texture that can't have anything on it (or probably the alphas, rather), or the game crashes. That may have been the problem. Like those two tribal back tattoos. If I were to edit the alphas, cut them and move them one pixel to the right, the game would crash (and it did crash numerous times while I was testing them ingame, as well as some of the others)

Do you think you could try this one for me? I think it'd be pretty cool. It's a flaming skull with fangs (one is gold), with 420 on his forehead. It's also shaded so it would blend in with his back.

Doing the "Save As..." method works fine. I don't recall any good, free hosts. I have always paid for mine, not that expensive either (only about $10 a month).

Use the "[ IMG] and [ /IMG]" Tags (just dont include the spaces I put in the tags)

Green Lantern: I may, but I have no immediate plans to do so at the moment.

 

Loman: It doesn't appear that blowing the images up works for tattoos. I tried blowing up an image that I know fits within the proper section of the .txd, so I know that wouldn't be the cause of a crash (the grim reaper), and it also crashed my game. It was weird though, I blew it up to 768x768, yet when I imported into TXD Workshop, it said it was 1024x1024.

 

Anyways, I gave your image a try.

 

 

A little distorted, I know, but it doesn't appear to be avoidable. Not for the time being, at least. Otherwise, I think it turned out pretty well.

Color tattoos need to have a darker alpha channel. White makes them look like decals.

any estimate time for some download links??

Not necessarily. I mean, can you see any of this guy's skintone through his tattoo?

 

P§I: Should be soon. To be honest, all the ones I've posted here have been ready to go for days, I just need to write up a readme file. I am exceedingly lazy, however.

 

Shouldn't be long now, though.
