Use for 'liveries' 2nd UV channel to your model.

 

 

Hey thanks! Trying it right now. Can i do this for materials with Paint1 ? or do i have to use Paint2 or 3 for this to work ?

 

Doing this with UVW Mapping, and selecting Move to Channel 2, caused the game to crash upon loading hmm

This does work with original cars. Use shader setting from original model.

 

Can initially bind to the object two UV channel, then make for UV Leaver 1 channel, copy this script in the second, and continue to work directly with one of the main channels for color cars.

MIxazzz,

 

Thanx for your help

 

i think that this crash problem comes from the intersection dummies... i dont know why maybe because of flags...

[MIXAZZZ]

use intersection from original imported paths

[nine30]

Thx bro,

 

i already did that, it was at that moment that i understood intersection dummies causes crashes...

 

Do you know how i can make my maps working on EFLC and other patch, lot of guys want to play with EFLC...

 

Thx

Is there any ways to disable the dynamic shadows casted by the car's headlights on Patch 7 ?

Because as you guys can notice, on Patch 7, the dynamic shadows come from street lamps and other wall lights are flickering very much at night.

I discover that bug cause by the dynamic shadows come from car's headlights.

I have some test.

1.

At night time, disable the cars by using the Trainer and that bug is gone, the dynamic shadows come from street lamps and other wall lights work fine.

2.

Set car.headlight.intensity in the visualSettings.dat to 0.00, this solution work too but you won't be satisfied with those cars not have the headlights.

So, any suggestion ?

I guess it may be useful for someone, this is list of all bones with ID and names from GTA IV and EfLC.

[Firstyminator]

Thanks man Thats very useful when using OFIO indeed

[MrSmarter22]

Everytime when I import a .onim file it says "root object isnt a bone" although a model with bones is imported before.

[Alexander Blade]

Open hierarchy view and select a model's root bone , then import an *.onim

[MrSmarter22]

Still same problem, although I have selected all the bone in the hierarchy view, it still gives me the same error. Could it be maybe because the rigged character isnt from GTA IV so that its hierarchy is different?

[Alexander Blade]

Yup

[MrSmarter22]

So, does it mean theres no way to play the animation with a different character and only if it is a IV character?

[Alexander Blade]

Skeleton must be from iv

[BMWSauberF1.08]

How do i fix these errors?

We don't.. Because its there to protect peoples creations.. Download something Unlocked. There is plenty to choose from, or just do as we do.. Build it

[Yaffles]

Good One! THX!

Hi! First of all thank you for these great scripts!

 

I am new to GTA modding and want to give mapping a try. I tried numerous times to export a simple, static mesh as a drawable but I only get an "EXCEPTION: MESH ERROR - dr_test_mesh type parameter is not drawable". I have a dummy called dr_test and a connected mesh called dr_test_mesh. The mesh has the iv_drawable_material applied and a texture is selected. I read the help file but I have no idea what's wrong.

[Alexander Blade]

Object's user props are not set , import some drawable and see what user props look like for each scene object .

[DasMatze]

Ahh, thanks! That was the issue. I didn't know there were user defined parameters involved and I didn't know where to look for them but I found them.

 

Now I have the problem that all the edges are smoothed after exporting even though it looks fine in 3ds Max:

(it's a model simply for testing)

 

I will try it with other models.

 

Edit: Same happens with a simple cube.

Edit 2: Fixed it. It was a problem with my mesh importing method.

I have a slight problem, whenever I import a ped it messes up the skinning. However I am not sure if it's the tools fault as I have the same problem with KAM's Script when importing SA peds... As soon as I import it the rigging is F-ed up

Having exactly the same problem here. Someone must have some sort of idea? It just skins the mesh with all the bones in the skeleton and not rigged properly.

 

Edit: the rigging works on 3ds MAX 2012. Must be something to do with the different versions.

Try gims , see if it's the same there
