Vivace skin making has just started, turns out you gonna need skin.materials.json instead of materials.cs found on older mod and use png instead of dds, because vivace uses new json skin system and it uses png instead of dds when i opened the json in the vivace zip file and here's an code reference for vivace skin.materials.json Code: { "vivace.skin.maki" : { "name" : "vivace.skin.maki", "class" : "Material", "persistentId" : "", "Stages" : [ { "colorMap" : "vehicles/common/null.dds", "normalMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds", "pixelSpecular" : true, "specularMap" : "vehicles/common/null.dds", "specularPower" : 128, "useAnisotropic" : true }, { "colorMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_d.dds", "normalMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds", "pixelSpecular" : true, "specularMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_s.dds", "specularPower" : 32, "useAnisotropic" : true }, { "colorMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_c.dds", "instanceDiffuse" : true, "normalMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds", "overlayMap" : "vehicles/vivace/maki/vivace_maki.png", "pixelSpecular" : true, "specularMap" : "vehicles/vivace/vivace_s.dds", "specularPower" : 128, "useAnisotropic" : true }, {} ], "alphaRef" : 0, "dynamicCubemap" : true, "mapTo" : "vivace.skin.maki", "materialTag0" : "beamng", "materialTag1" : "vehicle", "translucent" : true, "translucentBlendOp" : "None" } }
You can use a materials.cs and .dds for the vivace, That's how I made mine and it worked fine. What I used in the materials.cs file; Code: singleton Material("vivace.skin.GoodSmile") { mapTo = "vivace.skin.GoodSmile"; colorPaletteMap[2] = "vehicles/vivace/GoodSmile/GoodSmile_Racing_UV1.dds"; overlayMap[2] = "vehicles/vivace/GoodSmile/GoodSmile_Racing.dds"; diffuseMap[2] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_c.dds"; specularMap[2] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_s.dds"; normalMap[2] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds"; diffuseMap[1] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_d.dds"; specularMap[1] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_s.dds"; normalMap[1] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds"; diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds"; specularMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds"; normalMap[0] = "vehicles/vivace/vivace_n.dds"; specularPower[0] = "128"; pixelSpecular[0] = "1"; specularPower[1] = "32"; pixelSpecular[1] = "1"; specularPower[2] = "128"; pixelSpecular[2] = "1"; diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1"; diffuseColor[1] = "1 1 1 1"; diffuseColor[2] = "1 1 1 1"; useAnisotropic[0] = "1"; useAnisotropic[1] = "1"; useAnisotropic[2] = "1"; castShadows = "1"; translucent = "1"; translucentBlendOp = "None"; alphaTest = "0"; alphaRef = "0"; dynamicCubemap = true; instanceDiffuse[2] = true; materialTag0 = "beamng"; materialTag1 = "vehicle"; };
Can I request a skin: Dark Sakura Matou from Fate Stay Night Heavens Feel Lost Butterfly. Car: Hirochi Sunburst Race Edition.
i found this beauty for sale for 5400. should i get it. 6sp sport --- Post updated --- im thinking a senko itasha
RX-8s are pretty neat yes. Just make sure to keep oil topped up and apex seals in good condition. You can put your Senko itasha on that.
92k miles and never rebuilt. and how much does a coolant sensor run? and i am thinking to eventually swap the renisis with a 13b --- Post updated --- it is the performance pkg --- Post updated --- it has had 3 owners
i know people hate on rotaries for being unreliable, and then people hate on those people, but it is the sad truth of the rotary engine, especially the rx8s. They need to be rebuilt, and I wouldn't recommend buying one right on the "will probably need to be rebuilt soon" mark. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways, do your research on those cars before buying them. You don't wanna end up with a ticking time bomb.
like i said 13b swap but i appreciate your advice. how much is a rebuild and is it better to just swap in a turbo 13b? --- Post updated --- oh its 13 hundred for a kit. good thing my cousin is a mechanic.
A built 13b will run you big money, idk about a stock one, probably aint cheap, and renesis rebuild will run you 5 grand
oh... thats like 99.99% of the value of the car... --- Post updated --- is 5k parts and labor? --- Post updated --- i know that sounds stupid
I would expect so, but you can also do the rebuild yourself On the other hand, you can rebuild it yourself, but that is rather painstaking (just retorquing bolts about.... a million times) If you're interested in watching some dude torque down a bunch of bolts a million times while roasting his friend, watch this episode of Garage Garage: If you wanna rebuild it yourself, read the first three posts on this: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/there-recommended-full-rebuild-kit-260182/ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways we're getting way off topic, I apologize, makaphin.
iirc it's a common joke that a rotary's apex seals go after 100k miles Getting one in that state is likely going to cause more trouble shortly after buying I'd recommend you make sure there is a rotary specialist near you location and you can afford the maintenence.
well thats a no on both.. but i can afford the rebuild kits and one of my cousions is a mechanic of 20-25 years? so he has bound to have worked on a rotory at some point --- Post updated --- ill start new thread on this --- Post updated --- and yes i am intrested in that video --- Post updated --- https://www.beamng.com/threads/rx-8-questions.70086/ link to new thread --- Post updated --- i did not expect it to be THAT small. i knew rotorys were tiny but DANG
Hi My most wanted Skin wich is missing in my opinion is an Azur lane Prinz Eugen Skin (preferd for the old Pessima) , i would love you for that <3 xD And i would really like some Spacebattleship Yamato Skin of Yukki Mori, Captain Okita or the ship itself. But i think a Jin-Rou or Jin-Roh Skin of the armoured soldiers would really fit the Moonhawk or the Barstow. I hope that you can at least make a Prinz Eugen Skin because i....like her... Pls excuse my english I send some Pictures that would fit the Prinz Eugen skin
Translated by my friend for German: Hey, entschuldige bitte, aber alle slots für designs die ich habe sind zur Zeit belegt. Ich weiß, dass viele Leute Prinz Eugen wirklich cool finden, und ein Auto mit ihr haben wollen, aber ich schaffe immer nur eine bestimmte Anzahl an itasha. Wenn ich noch mehr machen würde, würde es zu lange dauern bis ich mit denen fertig bin, die ich jetzt schon versprochen habe. Wenn du magst kannst du aber gerne bis zum nächsten Update warten, dann nehme ich wieder neue itasha-design Anfragen an.
