Vehicle models by Zmodeler problems

[blacx2001]

Hi everyone. I'm totally newbie, both in gta modding and 3d modelling. I've made some new vehicle models for vice city, but they have many problems, since I don't know how to work with Zmodeller correctly.

The first problem is about texturing, but I already understand this one. My second problem is about placing the doors, it's always wrong and push me to make the models without doors. The third problem is how to make my car has two exhausts and how to add ped_backseat on two doors car?

Please help me if you can, I'll send you my finished models and you're free to do whatever things with 'em (They're the cars from my design at my family vehicle modification workshop in Indonesia). Thank you!

For the doors, I assume in Zmod they are in correct place.....and you have your door dummy placed where you want the door to hinge.....then all that is left is to copy the axis from the dummy to the door. Use 'display' 'local axis' 'copy', click on the door dummy, then click on the door, and the axis should jump to the dummy. If the dummy does not have the axis centered in it, use 'display' 'center axis', then click on the dummy. That should make the axis center to the dummy, then you can copy it to the door

 

For dual exhaust, open handling.cfg, look at the header, it will tell you what flag to set for dual exhaust...I think CarEd and some other progs can do it for you if you can't understand the flag/hex setup....

 

For ped_backseat, I believe you need doors for the backseat peds in order for it to work, try opening a 4 door .dff to check out how it's done.....I don't mess with 4 doors, maybe someone else can clarify it for you

Thank you man, that's all work now. But I think it's too late now for creating stuffs for Vice City while everybody else playin' SA. Thanks again for the reply. Peace!!
