Solved how do i make a colorable car

greetings! i am trying to make a mod but i have a small bump in the road. How do i make the car colorable for the new version? the newer version doesnt seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Make an image called car-name_c.dds and color it white where you want to be colorable. Leave all else transparent. It uses the same mapping as the diffuse map.

 

I know about the dds files. Sorry if that came off rude it was not intended to be so. Im just having issues with the materials.cs files.

 

I didn't take it as rudeness. In the materials.cs file, go to the main body material and add

Code:

colorMap[2] = xxx

if I'm not mistaken. Good day.

 

cant find what you are talking about. I even tried to redo the file and now all i have is a car with a no texture and a no texture skin.

 

Possibly try

Code:

colorPaletteMap[2] = "texture";

 

Example color texture from one of my mods.



singleton Material(_1102_paint)
{
mapTo = "paint";
diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1";
diffuseColor[1] = "0.1 0.1 0.1 0.5";
specularPower[0] = "16";
specularPower[1] = "16";
useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
useAnisotropic[1] = "1";
castShadows = "1";
translucent = "1";
translucentBlendOp = "None";
alphaTest = "0";
alphaRef = "0";
dynamicCubemap = true;
instanceDiffuse[2] = true;
materialTag0 = "beamng";
materialTag1 = "vehicle";
colorMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
colorMap[1] = "vehicles/ZAZ_1102/1102_paint.png";
colorMap[2] = "vehicles/ZAZ_1102/1102_c.dds";
doubleSided = "0";
};

 

Is this the new way for coding colorable textures?
