Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights



Will there be a body creator (to make a body from scratch), or can you create bodies from scratch already. I really want to recreate this body from the Bentley Continental GT (My Favourite Car Of All Time)

Hopefully, because then when v12's (possibly W12's) are released, i can recreate the car :D

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

You can make the body right now if you want. 3DS Max is advised as that is what the plugins are for. If you use something else then make it in there and then export it in a file format that 3DS Max supports.

There is no tutorial yet as to how to set up the car body and I have only seen one livestream so far when the devs were making a body and setting it up ready to go in game (and I know they have probably streamed this many more times before), so I have no idea what you have to do. There should be a tutorial eventually, but the devs have a million and one other things to do as well.

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

There won't be any kind of ingame body creator, no, as that'd be almost impossible. It'd basically have to be an entire 3d modeling package built into the game.


You will be able to build new car bodies with 3ds max though, yes. And we will eventually do tutorial videos for that. It's not easy though, and you'd need to be quite skilled at 3d modeling to get good results.

Anyone know how I get the bones to move once I place the headlights?

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

Hmmm, assuming you've done the skinning step correctly they should just WORK.


Send me the files and I'll take a look when I get a chance. :)

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

I can get everything to work but the materials. The UV mesh just won't make the texture tile no matter what I do. I have 2 finished models, but I can't release them because the materials are just solid colour.

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

In the headlights, what are the [0], [1], [2]... in the lua file?

In the grilles, are explained:

  Code:
       --This vent has 2 materials, [1] is the texture grille, [0] is car body paint
      Materials = { [1] = ECS_STANDARDMAT, [0] = ECS_BODY, },


But in the headlights, aren't explained very well.

Re: Modding Tutorial 2 - Taillights

It depends on the headlight, and on the way you modelled it. My Audi headlight has 7 different materials for an instance, numbered [0] to [6]
