    Hello everybody! I'm currently making a mod (it's really just a meshslap) of NR2003s bodies. I'm currently working on the Chevy body right now. If you have any tips or helpful advice, please feel free to reply.



    Progress report No.1 4.3.26

    As of today i have made the vortex files and have officially edited the jbeam files.

    Problems- Car will load in with no body, the NR2003 body mesh will not show up in game

    Stuff that has been fixed- The car showing up with the "No Texture" texture is no more! And the game is even acknowledging the nr2003 bodies name in the part manager.

    TO DO
    -Find a way to map the nodes (either with or without the blender JBEAM plugin)
    -Properly get the body mesh to load in game

    Progress report No.2 (4.5.26)

    Today I got the mesh to load into the game fully with little to no issues at all

    Problems- Window Net does not load in and textures do not work no matter what i try, seriously. I spent the whole day trying to get a single skin to load in and it hasn't, for it has its either JUST the hood or JUST the body

    Progress report no. 3 (4.7.26)

    Today I have offically finished the chevy car, textures and all are now complete and i'm trying import skins as we speak.

    Progress report no. 4 (4.12.26)

    Sorry everyone! I've been away on a trip, I originally planned to work on this mod during my trip but I ended up forgetting the charger to my laptop so there wasn't a whole lot I could do. But on the bright side i got the Ford Tarus and Dodge Intrepid done and in the game today! I was originally going to add a google doc for updates so that way you can see the cars (I've used all 10 image spaces) but decided against it considering this'll probably only take 1-3 more days to finish

    problems- I have to redo all of the Chevys texture pathing and .JSON structure do to me not doing it right the first time, bodies are still see through if you look at them a certain way, window net still isnt showing up but im not that concered about that right now

    TO DO- add Pontiac Grand Prix, figure out skins/textures, fix body being invisible on the inside with a possible rescale of the bodies since I think they look a little big.

    Cool! Just hope that this will be completed and NOT abandoned like other NASCAR mods like this one.

    That's what I'm hoping for! I'm struggling with importing the mesh body, but I'm sure I'll figure it out

    That’s the plan, I want to try and get everything body in here but it’ll take some time.

    All I kindly ask for is a 2006 Rookie Lightning McQueen skin for when this is complete.
