LondonStoxFan Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Hi all. I want to change my car in F2 to the Randall (02 version). It only comes with a TGA template rather than the usual photoshop layered type. I'm finding this very difficult to paint, and have no idea how to tidy up all the jagged edges etc. It's a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has a version of this which they've previously made for themselves, where the hard works already been done - something that would be easier to convert to my simple colour schemes. My painting skills are poor - I can just about master colour replacing and adding text/images - that's about it. It's a shame if I don't use the car I'm quickest in simply because I can't paint it!!! Thanks for any help.

martin379 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 btw, LSF my addy is martyboy379@hotmail.co.uk
LondonStoxFan Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Posted January 5, 2007 Marty, thanks for the offer, it's appreciated. However, I'm going to stick it out myself. I did quite a lot last night, and I've got the hang of things and it's looking ok (by my standards!). However, I have one problem. When I convert the file using MkTex, and try it out, there is a red bar in the drivers cab which looks totally out of place. It goes across the outside window - no idea what it's supposed to be. There is no red at all on my TGA template, so I'm not sure where it's coming from. Any ideas?
kane Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 i am probs as gud as you (i'm rubbish lol) cheers
martin379 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Ok LSF...errr I don't no about the red bar thing btw soz lol....
erik Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 there is a red bar in the drivers cab which looks totally out of place. It goes across the outside window Could you post up a screenshot of this problem?
LondonStoxFan Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Posted January 5, 2007 Ok, here's some screen shots, which show the strange red bar in the drivers cab. Any idea what this is? If no-one can work it out, I may post my TGA file here - and ask someone else to do the conversion and try it out.
peter pooles son Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) thats surpose to be there i get it in mine like a gaurd thing part of the cars design nothing to worry about LSF Edited January 5, 2007 by peter pooles son
erik Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah, its supposed to be there. I think its for the same purpose as a "window net".
LondonStoxFan Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Posted January 5, 2007 But it looks bloody awful - can't I change it? Oh well thanks for the help. Haven't got time to worry about it so I'll stick with that!

Hi LSF Thats the headnet, i believe (though not 100%) that it stops the drivers head/neck jolting too far when they hit the fence (you may notice that its on the fence side of the car). I've looked at my template and it doesn't look like it's mapped onto the template......... check your tga and see if it has anything red on it? Otherwise, its probably a colour/texture which is packed into the car itself (much like the dials on the dash are, amongst others) which obviously cannot be changed though. I wouldn't worry thought, it doesn't spoil the car at all, nice work
