NFS:MW - Car Editing Tools

[irti]

hey arushman...u really did a good job with that 360..man cud u help me out by doing a f40 for most wanted

[irti]

ok those cars were really lukin great....bt can sum1 pls make a ferrari f40 for most wanted.

[Radu-Cristian]

i want to ask how i can make to have roofscoop on my car.. there is a dummy? or what?

[XenTek]

I think it was posted somewhere in this thread

[Villain]

To make roofscoop, create a cube called #ROOF_SCOOP and place it as you want to. Same goes to spoiler, creat cube called #SPOILER and place it as you want to.

We can also make car capable of having hoods, but those need to created/ripped/imported, etc; because the game can't edit hoods's geometrys by itself. Hoods are at the moment hard to get, so I won't be telling yet how to keep them on the game.

[Radu-Cristian]

and for haveing decal on window's what do i have to do?

[Villain]

Unfortunately I don't know that, I think that it is referred to VINYLS.BIN or something like that. Anyways, decals might be available by editin VLT with VLTEdit.

[HSVrules]

Just FYi, decal textures are in the texture.bin in the cars folder.

[irti]

hey ppl....i really nd help on converting nfs hs cars to nfs mw...sum1 pls tell me how to get those .viv files converted

[Villain]

irti, try this one http://nfstoolbox.dynabyte.dk/vivwizard.phtml . And for MW-converters/creators, I started to make tiny-tutorials for MW, but those only contain like "How to allow car having bodykits", "How to make hoods" and so on, so nothing 100 % car creating tutorial is coming from me. I'll post links later, so I can make page layout first.

[arushan]

Decals are just parts with flat surfaces having texture mappings. To see what textures the parts are mapped to, you could use geomviewer...

So for example, load up an existing EA car in geomviewer...
On the left, expand Geometry, select one of the decal parts... for example "DECAL_FRONT_WINDOW_WIDE_MEDIUM_A" (1), or "DECAL_LEFT_DOOR_RECT_MEDIUM_A" (2).

For (1), on the right side in the Materials window, you'll see something like "DECAL1 = 0x2A05578/0x910E6654"... you can just add that line to your mapping file and use DECAL1 as the material name in ZModeler/Max.

For (2), you'd see multiple ones... all the way from DECAL1 to DECAL8... the only way to figure out which one goes for which slot is to load up another texture into the texture slot specified by the material.

[Motoroller]

So, will these tools also work for Underground?
I will have to get Most Wanted back from my friend to try this.

[Radu-Cristian]

@Arushan: What about police cruiser.. do you know what are the dummy for siren?
There is a plug-in for 3dmax to export *.mrw? or can you make'it?
If i add a widebodykit what do i have to make with wheels to be perfect positioned to the new and wider bodykit?

P.S. Thanks alot for decals

[Villain]

1. Siren is called kit00_cop_lights_a
2. No, you can export those in Zmodeler1 only.
3. Just position it on your Zmodeler1 as you want it. If you want like kit1, then you have to have:

kit00_body_a
Kit01_body_a

3b. Tires should be in center of a car, look for example by importing like SL65 from NFSMW CARS folder GEOMETRY.BIN (requires Zmodeler2).

Also, you have to make sure that those are marked in xlink360.txt also. And I know, I'm not Arushan, but I also knew those so.

[Radu-Cristian]

@Arushan
Can you give me the ATTRIBUTES.MWPS for audi A3?

[Skylizer]

I have a problem. I have converted Honda Civic from NFS8 to NFS9. I brought the car in the game no doubt about it. I tried replacing on COBALTSS. But when I change the car to replace, all wheels come on different positions. I also changed all SL65 texts to COBALTSS along with the wheel positions in notepad which are contained in the attributes.mwps file. Even if I change the wheel positions, nothing happens to COBALTSS. But same is not the case if I replace the car on SL65. Can anyone please help me? I want it to replace to such a car so that I can increase the performance.

The wheel it has to be on 0x,0y,0z, and it's pivot; then you have to modifie that ATTRIBUTES.MWPS in order to have the corect place of the wheels. Look there at "## wheel position..."

[Skylizer]

I don't think you got that right. I mean if I replace the civic on SL65, it comes accurate including the stock wheels as well as aftermarket rims. Even if I change the wheel positions in the attributes.mwps file, the wheel position in the game changes if I replace in SL65. But if I replace it on Cobalt SS, even if I change the wheel positions in the attributes.mwps, there is no effect on the wheels. I also changed all SL65 texts to COBALTSS.

And by the way Radu, the wheel should not be on 0x. The right side of the tire should touch the center line in ZModelor i.e the tire should be on the left side of the center line with right side of the tire exactly overlapping it. If not, the positions of the stock wheel & the aftermarket rims will differ.

TILL THEN SEE THIS:-
Customised Civic:-


STock spoiler & rims:-

[HSVrules]

Hmm nice work on the Civic. And interesting how you got the M3 GTR Strassenversions spoiler.

[Villain]

That spoiler is fishtail, which is regular chosable spoiler. But if you wondered how he added fishtail to stock spoiler, I think it was like this:

- He created spoiler called kit00_spoiler_a in Zmodeler1/2
- Then he went to xlink360.txt and made sure, that it was mentioned in there. Like this:

KIT00_SPOILER_B=KIT00_SPOILER_A
KIT00_SPOILER_C=KIT00_SPOILER_A
KIT00_SPOILER_D=KIT00_SPOILER_A
KIT00_SPOILER_E=KIT00_SPOILER_A

It's not that hard. Only thing, what can be hard, is to make sure, that that part is valid ingame. For example, we can't make custom copcar with working lights or siren yet, because those have to marked in xlink360.txt and if you name flashing lights as ???????????_a in Zmodeler1/2, it doesn't work, because it has that _a. I can't remember those name what had to be used to get them working in no-mod game (now I mean those cops that are chasing you). Anyways, I think you got what I meant.

I didn't understand what r u talking. But the spoilers in the screenshot are fishtail & stock. I used exactly the same technique as said by Finalmaster2 to add the stock spoiler in the game.

[Jr22]

Try by editing that ATTRIBUTES.MWPS!

You can export as ASE from Max... just make sure the extension on the filename is .ase and the converter will detect it as ASE instead of MWR.

You'd have to find out the A3 offsets using vltedit.. I don't have one for the A3 made.

Again, that's because the offsets in the attributes.mwps file is for the SL65... you'd have to find corresponding ones for the Cobalt SS using vltedit.

Hi, does somebody know why Zmodeler2.0.8 crash when i try to import NFS most wanted GEOMETRY.BIN? it occur not from beginig and in 5-10 sec.
:?
How can i use Zmodeler1.07 with plugin "mwrawfilter.zmf", how i can get files with "mwf" extension?

When i use Zmodeler1.07 with plugin "mwrawfilter.zmf" ".bin" extension don't appear in import list.

1.Zmod2 it crash when it 'load' that RX8SPEEDT if crash at any geometry.bin you should take another zmod2.
2.That mwrawfilter is not for *.bin files, is for *.mrw only

[_HiTMAN_]

in Zmodeler2.0.5 this plugin not appeared in plugins list and i can't import "geometry.bin", maybe you know link at this plugin?

I need to know how to put on my car better lights.
What materials need for door decals.

The best thing you can do is analyze existing cars made by EA using GeomViewer

[Radu-Cristian]

how can i use geomtry viewer.. it give me some errors....

[McLaren_3Dcm]

Arushan
Can you tell me is it posible to force the car use another pack of spoilers, I mean if I replace sl65 but I need to use spoliers from Porsche Carrera GT, Or the only way out it raplace Carrera GT.
If it's posible please explain what I should do for it.
Thanks!

how can i use geomtry viewer.. it give me some errors....

I have it to, here is the error

[SLZ Roadstar]

I also get an error when opened GeomViewer.

And also arushan, I was able to fix the wheel positions of my Civic replaced on Cobalt SS. But when I put the performance of Lancer's to CObalt SS it does not have much effect. It gives me stock performance of Lancer. I have put the offsets of cobalt SS in attributes.mwps by searching in VLTEdit & put the values of Lancer. Please where can I find the level 3 performance values of cars?

[_HiTMAN_]

GeomViewer doesn't work

[dato]

geoviewer doesnt work for me aswell

[Villain]

Not for me either.

[HSVrules]

Ok the move to the new server has stuffed up your attachments, can you guys reattach them?

[arushan]

If GeomViewer doesn't work, try downloading this file and extracting the dlls to the GeomViewer directory:

http://aru.nd4spdworld.com/pic/d3ddlls.zip

[McLaren_3Dcm]

Ok now it works!
Arushan
And what about spoilers???

[SLZ Roadstar]

Now it works with me too but what about my problem? I changed all values of induction,pvehicle,chassis,ecar of Punto to the values of lancer and now the game doesn't run. Why?
