Car file

[stig727]

Its me again!

 

ive been altering the saphire ssc chassis(SORRY!) and wanted to put it in game (using the original physics and LOD's etc) so...

 

i crack the original car file (SORRY!) to see the structure of the car file and i tried making my own. but it didnt work.

 

can anyone explain the what parts of the original car file i need and what i need to add my self, parts of the carfile are called high0 to high9 and low0 to low9 and it means nothing to me. there is more too, i think the .sfx files are sound files for engine noise then there is .mod files called rrtire and i dontknow what they do.

 

any help is greatly appreciated.

low 0 till 9 are what u will find in banger .car files as paceacar 0 till 6 (can be changed to work with pacear files by replacing the lod.val file with 1 from bangers)

 

sfx are indeed engine sound files

Thanks haadee, what are the high and low files in terms of 3ds.

 

here is what i did, not much just changed the no fins (there is another one on the other side)

1st time i have ever mappaed anything propperly though.

also maybe you could scale it a big bigger???? the ssc's i find too small or is it just me

[stig727]

I think they are a bit too small aswell, i wanted to make an almost exact copy of the original with as little change to performance and handling etc. just wanted to change the number fin because i think it looks better and it is easy to paint

 

also haadee there were only 6 low files and 9 high ones.

tbh you shouldn't edit someones model without there permission

[stig727]

I know that which is why i said

(SORRY!)

 

was planning on seeking the original modellers permision before releasing anything.

[stig727]

Sorry for double post, didnt want to start a new topic, has anyone got the mk2 escort .3ds they can post???

Thanks haadee, what are the high and low files in terms of 3ds.

 

TBH I dont have a clue

 

but you do have to respect the creator a bit. He put spare time in it

[stig727]

Right, im building my own saloon (not saying what just yet) now and realy nead to know about what goes into the car file. i have got the frame done and started a template.

 

any help is always greatly appreciated.

 

also haadee, does the ssc mod not work the same way as the f2 mod? and if so wouldnt it need simialar things in a car file?
