Where are the Hidden Textures

[adam schiller]

Hey When I open up almost any vehicle file from gta3.img there is only the exterior and some other files (see picture 1) how do I find the other exteriors texture and how do I open them with TXD workshop?

and also is there a tutorial specifically for changing the texture of cars

[Daalyman05]

I belive its in the model/generic/vehicle txd.

There is only stuff that every car has like lights and number plates ect no body exteriors

[Augh]

Simple answer; what you seek does not exist.

 

The SA cars have matte (untextured) exteriors for the most part with polygonal bodylines. Sucks imo, but doesnt look toooo bad in practise, in this specific case. They still need shading imo T_T

k so where are the paintjobs at

k so where are the paintjobs at

in text files, carcols.dat

 

Now, if you mean by paintjobs the skins at transfender, those are in the vehicle of your choice's TXD files.

 

Each has UP TO four paint jobs,

 

say you've got a premier.dff and you want a paintjob for it, it will be premier1.txd through premier4.txd. Premier.txd will be the textures that are not color-of-car that are always there.

 

All vehicles default colors, IE no mod shop, just on the road ready to take, are governed by carcols.dat using a special reactive texture, vehicle_128_somesh*t.tga, in the screen shot you posted. To change those, it is a matter of typing not painting

 

PS: I think that feature rocks because it adds to the already cut and paste style that gta is made with
