[wagnerpsc]

wich file?

i'm trying to convert a mod from GTA SA im .dff format,may i post the .dff or the .txd too?:confused:

edit:attached the two

[evo1087]

this is very difficult and time consuming. what you would do is pick a car say the Chevorlet SSR. use .bnk editor extract everything in Common_car.bnk and SSR.bnk then open SSR.3dg in zmoddler

 

First step make sure you have put the the extracted Common_cars and SSR folders in you SETTINGS>SERVICES>TEXTRUES)

 

import your .dff

 

move your GTA model up so its level with the D_SPLANE then follow the turorial very closely. make sure to change the materials to paint when you right click each part PROPERTIES>POLYGONS>MATERIALS

 

once you've given every part a TDU material

 

Modify attach all parts and rename that model BODY_HR

 

save that as a .3dg

 

use TDU-tool to replace SSR.3dg

 

I hope this helps this is as much as I know

 

With this much done you should be able to at least see it in the game

 

I was able to make this following those steps attach the wing and diffsuor parts to body HR.

I think I´m just too stupid.

How do I extract the bnk files in 2db or where do I find the 2db files?

No, you can't.

Use BNK extractor or TDU Modding Tools 1.15

so from looking at the tutorial, I guess I just need to change the names of the parts of my custom car, to the names of the original tdu car? if it is like that, then I will be into modding very soon..

 

 

lol, i but zmodeler and I don't even know much about it :D

[sebastienmwa]

Sorry for my english i'm french. I have a problem with zmodeler 2.2.6 , I can't open 3dg files, it's written "invalid file signature. file: opensaveservice. cpp line 680.

[bobijs]

Hello! So i have a problem. I took model from Forza 4 LOD0, with high polygons, it doesnt showed in game. But when i put LOD1, or low polygon model, it worked. What is the problem.I know that model isnt one big object but there are many of these objects. I put them through Lightwave in one big object

[Audrey8]

Found a slight glitch here, what do you do if when texturing the body, there is no 'PAINT' option!

Here just take a look

I even did all the texture imports, so it can't be an issue there. I'd appreciate some help, trying to get a modeling thing going :P

[Minime891]

That list is what materials are assigned to the mesh you have selected.

Double click where it says <Multiple Materials> and you will see all your materials.

So no it is not a glitch. ;)

Ok, so I followed the instructions step by step. But my car still ended up looking like this......

You need to import the model. It will give you an option to import as a .3dg.

Hi. It's hard to import motobike in game ? There is some lesson about it ?

[Minime891]

Minime891

 

No and no.

 

Ok. If i read this topic i can import bike in game ? How many poly is limit for game ? I have model from GTA and it's 60 poly and 54 verts.

[Minime891]

Well the file size limit is 3mb for the exterior bnk and i think it's around 60,000 vertices which exports at about that.

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]
