Cybersnake Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ok I'm sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place. if I have can you please tell me where to put this topic next time or move it please or both. The first thing I would like to say is I'm new to modding. I have all the programs I need. IMG Tool, GGMM, TXD workshop, SAMI and Cleo 3 4 doesn't work on my machine for some odd reason. I am Using 3Ds MAx 2012 with Kams Dff Script. Ok My first step in modding is I want to Recolor all the cars in SA not modifing anything but color at the moment. I know how to make my own custom colors in Car Cols data file but don't know how to add paintjobs for other vehicles and don't know how to color these vehicles. Rhino,Swatvan,Barracks,Hunter,FBItruck,Dozer and Dumper. Also I would like to give some cars seconday colors for Bumpers and sides dealing with 3Ds max. if anyone knows how to recolor these vehicles and how to add custom seconday colors in 3Dsmax please help. just playing around I came with my first problem when editng models the back lights of my Premier Taxi go transparent/ are not showing up for another odd reason LOL. I am sorry if this is too long to read if so tell me and I will try to make it clearer else if you don't know what I am asking about please also tell me.

foxunitone Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I know how to make my own custom colors in Car Cols data file but don't know how to add paintjobs for other vehicles and don't know how to color these vehicles. Rhino,Swatvan,Barracks,Hunter,FBItruck,Dozer and Dumper. These vehicles are texture mapped as apposed to using a color designation such as primary/secondary etc. To change them, you will have to load the models in max and retexture them or set them to a color identifier. if anyone knows how to recolor these vehicles and how to add custom seconday colors in 3Dsmax please help. Open the model in 3ds max. Use the 'face' selection tool to make a shape on the model. A line/pattern etc. Then open the material editor, select a new material slot, change it to a GTA material, then change the color from 'primary' to secondary. Then you will need to 'add' the second colors in carcol.dat. just playing around I came with my first problem when editng models the back lights of my Premier Taxi go transparent/ are not showing up for another odd reason LOL. Some models will do this in max when you attach or detach objects. I have heard that some vehicles bug like this simply from being imported and the exported. I have not found a fix myself other than to re-make the lights. -Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxunitone Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Model some poly to shape and attach/link to the existing model, or, create a native object and reshape/mold it and attach/link to the model. -Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersnake Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 thanx again foxunitone you are very helpfull and I like your Avatar theres another thing when exporting models in 3Ds max how can I change the ZAZ lisence plate to a normal Gta sa plate when ever I export the gta sa model of for example a premier Dff in game I have the ZAZ lisence plate.

foxunitone Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I believe that the license plate info is one of the generic vehicle txd's. You may want to look into those to change the plates. Alternately, you can map your own plate onto the model in max and then add that plate to the models texture file. Then it will only ever show the plate you have given it. -Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
