FunGt Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) I made a tutorial for beginners that I translated in english too. The tutorial explains how to import and export properly a WFT file. So everyone can start to mod the 3D files. Before following this tutorial make sure you have the latest version of ZModeler properly registered. Tools required: Zmodeler 2, SparkIV, General vehicle texture pack. 1. Download the General vehicle textures pack and extract it somewhere (here we'll call the folder "DIR"). 2. Run SparkIV, click Open and select the vehicles.img file located in pc\models\cdimages\ 3. Choose the vehicle you want to export, eg. the Comet, so select comet.wft and comet.wdt and click Export. 4. Export both files in the "DIR" folder where we have the other textures extracted in the first passage. 5. With SparkIV click on comet.wdt and click View, then click Save All Textures. 6. Save all the texture in the DIR folder as before. 7. Summarizing: in "DIR" folder you should have the WFT file, all the textures from the general vehicle pack and all the textures extracted from the wdt with SparkIV. 8. Now you can run ZModeler and click Import (be sure you have checked PNG, Collision and Sliced Model). 9. Select comet.wft and it will be imported. 10. Here you need some ZModeler skill to modify the file as you want. Don't change the hierarchy tree. 11. When you finished to modify the model you can export it clicking Export. 12. Save the file where you want, don't replace the original wft file. 13. Run SparkIV again, click Import and select the new WFT. 14. Run the game and you should have your new Comet. Hope it helps.

DexX Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The point of the tutorial forum, is to have the (text-based) tutorials hosted locally - on our forum. At least copy/paste the text here, and apply proper formatting to it. If you just leave the link up, the topic will be removed, since that is considered advertising.

Owenwilson1 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I made a tutorial for beginners that I translated in english too. The tutorial explains how to import and export properly a WFT file. So everyone can start to mod the 3D files. You can find the tutorial here. Hope it helps. its good man but you forgot to mention about sliced option and collison option. if you dont click on sliced option when imported all the col file will import seperatly which means they wont be assigned to any part of the car. if you import with sliced on it does the job for you in other words you can edit vehicle then export it no troubles because if you export the no sliced option you will find when exporting and loading the game the car will have no wheels and you wont be able to drive it nothing.

Edited. @Owenwilson1, the first time I imported a car I kept the options as they were and I edited a vehicle correctly... I added it anyway, thx.

Puma06111991 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Don't change the hierarchy tree. When I modified my Comet to a convertible some week ago, I just deleted the windows that belonged to the doors. You can just delete doors and crap, though you must keep fundamental things like the body, wheels etc. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/416817-iv-import-and-export-a-wft-with-zmodeler/#findComment-1059349787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem too, and contacted Oleg. He told me that the product key I used was blacklisted because it was to find on the internet. So you might be using a cracked zmodeler with blacklisted key. I don't accuse you of doing that, I just say what it could possibly be. Anyway, thank you so much. Now my windows don't turn out white.

Now my windows don't turn out white. lol damn yeah your rite i have to admit lmao. i just want to import a car so i can mess around with some minor adjustments. ive never used z modeler before but ive always loved that kind of stuff and seeing as no one will make the cars i want then i really want to have a crack at it myself. i know £40 seems like small change to a lot of people but that means loads to me and i really cant afford it. damn credit crunch. i want it so bad. i want to build up a vw golf mk 2 from a standard one and turn it into this beauty. http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/poo...by_BlackWhi.png anyone generous enough to buy me it i bet theres a few loaded people on here lol.
